Not really.
That's just an impression some arrogant crackpots tend to have :-)


Ok then.

Show me that you aren't a bad person by talking a little physics with
me.

How do you determine the initial velocity of the ball in this problem:

a 50kg ball is 100 m above the earth when the clock says 0 seconds
and at 1 second, the ball is 50 m above the earth
only the altitude has changed, not latitude and longitude

Remember, I'm "a bad person" to arrogant crackpots who
season their elementary fumbles with sentences like this:

Notice I never once claimed anything about my ability to do physics.

Notice the hollow but fading sound of a sucker digging himself
in deeper and deeper.

It seemed to me, as a layman, that Feynman's description on creating a
theory worthy of the Nobel prize and Eric's description of creating
revolutionary theories weren't in total agreement.

I know where Feynman's authority comes from.

I wanted to know Eric's experience in important discoveries as well.

That is called critical inquirey.

Forgive me for offending your traditions.
