People on Usenet who aren't rabid who know much about physics probably
understand that a general solution to binary quadratic Diophantine
equations if it exists is an important mathematical tool for
physicists:
c_1*x^2 + c_2*xy + c_3*y^2 = c_4 + c_5*x + c_6*y
That is an example of a general form for a binary quadratic
Diophantine equation--x and y are unknown while the c's are known
constants. I found a general way to solve equations of that form for
integers, which yes, do come up in physics because of a certain little
thing called quantum mechanics.
Yes, there are integers in physics, if you know where to look.
Now certain rabid posters track my threads and proceed to fill them
with as much nonsense in reply as they can, but the reality of my
research as a potent force is not about what I say, but about what you
can check. And I like Google. I like Google because Google is the
top search engine in the world (did you know that?) and rather than
give links, I give searches to try in Google.
solving binary quadratic Diophantine equations
In a saner world that would be it. After all the mathematics is not
hard for any physicist with a Ph.D to verify, and even the concept I
call tautological spaces which gave me the tools to derive the method
is not terribly complicated: I subtract equations from identities and
analyze the residue.
Easy math. Easily verified. And you get directed to it by the
world's search leader.
So why are rabid Usenet people stalking my postings claiming it's
worthless and often attacking Google in the process?
Simple. Because they're angry.
No, becacuse your work is useless. The truth is a stranger to you
but that is the fact of the matter.
Why are they angry? Who knows. People are angry all over the world.
Usenet simply amplifies anger and lets angry people feel powerful. So
I say Google links to my research. They say, no it doesn't. I say,
well people can check and SEE it does. They reply, no it doesn't and
call ME crazy. Or they claim that Google search results don't mean
anything.
Those of you in the real world with the rest of us are aware I'm sure
that there are web metrics measuring tools available by which people
can get an idea of the kind of interest there is in their website.
One of those tools is Google Analytics (yup, there's that "Google"
name again, it comes up a lot).
I use Google Analytics.
Google Analytics says that so far in 2009 there have been visits to my
math blog from people in 1816 cities in 112 countries/territories
around the world (not a lot of people so I don't give the number as
it's only a few thousand).
A lot of people have come to laugh at the ranting and whining
of you as a crank and crackpot.
Um, actually, wow, those 112 countries are most of the world. The
countries themselves include most of the planets 6.78 billion or so
people.
Regardless of what a handful of posters can say in rants against my
research, or rants against me, the reality is that the evidence shows
that increasingly the world is turning to my math as a resource.
Check in Google: mymath
There are no rants against you. We just point out the facts. Then
you do the ranting and whining and self pity etc.
I think I come up #4.
So why aren't math professors talking about my research? I don't
know. Maybe they are. I don't claim to know all that happens in the
world.
It would help if you work was correct. Try that on your next work.
Well your paper was wrong and a joke.
Why am I not in math journals? Well, I got one paper published and
some USENET rabid people mounted an email campaign against it, editors
pulled it, journal died. I'm being nice to journals now. Ha ha.
Jokes aside, the mathematical world is very in-bred. They like math
people with Ph.D's in, guess what? Mathematics. Go figure.
Math society seems intent on ignoring reality for as long as the world
will let them, but physicists don't care! Physicists use math as a
tool, and now they have a tool that lets them solve binary quadratic
Diophantine equations! Yeah!!! Wonderful world.
Reality is that things can get messy with even important research when
various interests and people's FEELINGS get involved, as history has
shown. But at the end of the day, objective measures are a good way
to go.
And the objective measures say you are wrong. You really do hate
reality but reality does not care.
.
And what's more objective? A Google search giving you a particular
method when you ask about solving something rather technical and
mathematically specific?
Or Usenet posters ranting about some person they clearly hate, who
also will tell you that Google really isn't, well, Google! And oh
yeah, don't forget Erik Max Francis the Usenet poster who also has
Crank.net, a guy who once told me some choice things when I got into
arguments with him, years ago. He's angry too. Yeah, Erik Max
Francis is one angry dude.
Angry people are just angry people. Objective reality is what physics
people do. I suggest you go with the easily checkable facts.
Increasingly my math is a world resource.
And a post like this one is to help those people who will come across
the negatives, will wonder when they read these posters saying
horrible nasty things about me, and get bothered because they trust
that people are more decent than that and I'm just here to say, no,
some people aren't.
