Re: Late and Early Time Decelerations and PI

>>From Osher Doctorow

Great horned toads! Pimentel and Mora of Mexico aren't the leaders of
this bunch! It's U. Florida Gainesville via Luz Maria Diaz-Rivera and
Steven Detweiler, with some help from recent U. Florida Ph.D.
receipient Eirini Messaritaki and from Bernard F. Whiting (Messaritaki
is the only one with a second deparment outside U. Florida: U.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee). See "Scalar field self-force effects on orbits
about a Schwarzschild black hole," arXiv:gr-qc/0410011 v1 4 Oct 2004."


This latter paper is an almost unbelievable prize for PI, although of
course the authors don't know PI. Even on the first page of their
paper, everything turns out to be square (2nd power) and causal,
including Abraham-Lorentz self-force for a particle with electrical
charge q and acceleration a where the square of q results from the
charge q interacting with its own magnetic field, the non-radiation
parts of the force but involving the particle interacting with its own
field and which are proportional to q^2 and u^2 where u is a small mass
in a circular orbit of radius ro about a more massive companion m.
This comes from Dirac's approach.

If the University of Florida Gainesville keeps this up, they may get on
my good list for universities that people can attend (which so far
includes Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Chicago, U. Texas Austin, MIT,
CalTech, West Point and similar Military or law enforcement
universities, really Religious universities). In fact, I'll give them
a provisional OK now, subject to possible change later if I discover
skeletons in their closets. If you do go to U. Florida, or anywhere
in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, or Pennsylvania, watch out for
Saudi propaganda which is often very disguised and super-well funded.
