Re: Nonrenormalization vs Renormalization 15: Cancer & AIDS/HIV Cures Via Physics?

"Friction" or "friction" as keyword brings up "over 300" (as arXiv
describes it) papers on arXiv, dated from 1992 to 2006, with a
remarkable 10 already in 2006. In Front for the Mathematics ArXiv, it
brings up a mere 21 papers, which is in my opinion a serious
underrating of the importance of friction by a large segment of
mathematicians. Even Leonardo Da Vinci, who to my recollection
discovered friction, beats the 2006 online mathematical community so to
speak in this respect. Actually, Leonardo was a Creative Genius, one
of the greatest, of course in Italy which gave us Vivaldi, Rossini,
Verdi, Justinian, Ricci, Levi-Civita, and on and on. It might be a
good argument for interdisciplinary Degrees. Instead of Ph.D., we
should have Ph.A., Ph.B. Ph.C, Ph.D., Ph.E., etc. It's true that one
might spend one's life getting higher Degrees, but it beats whatever's
in second place (service employees, I think).

The friction literature in the two sites above is quite remarkable for
its variety, which seems roughly about equally divided between
cosmology and non-cosmology physics from a rather cursory skimming of
the paper lists.
