Well I'm happy enough with it now. My problem with it in the beginning was just the fact that it simply accepted the definition... Evercat 00:30, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Do you know another Czech scientist, Peter Beckman? He wrote The Health Hazards of NOT Going Nuclear at a time when nuclear power was as big a public controversy as global warming is now. --user:Ed Poor (deep or sour) 15:13, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)

Loop quantum gravity: POV tag

I think tactical use of the POV marking only weakens your case. Escalating disputes here only leads in the end to page protection (not by me - I am forbidden to do this since I'm involved in editing - so this is only for your information). Charles Matthews 14:12, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Sam Loyd

Sam Loyd is spelled Sam Loyd, so it's correct that the redirect "Sam Lloyd" points there rather than the other way around. - Nunh-huh 02:05, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Request: Talk:Big_Bang#Cons_of_energy_/_JimJast

(William M. Connolley 19:46, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)) I wonder if you'd care to look at Talk:Big_Bang#Cons_of_energy_/_JimJast where cons of energy in GR has come up. I (naively?) assumed that GR conserves energy as a given; JJ asserts that it is a commonplace that it isn't. I'm confused.

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Soros

Hello!

I noticed your new article on Soros Fund Management. Howvere, I am not sure whether

• The reference to lies was intended as a taunt in expectation somebody would change it or
• You really believe that it is true that Soros fund management is based on lies.

Surely you must be aware that that claim is not universally held view; it is arguably not a neutral position.

My purpose in writing this note isn't to change your belief. That edit would be fine if you were submitting something to LGF; but this isn't LGF. WP is a cooperative venture with people who may not share many beliefs in politics, economics, sociology etc.

I would hope that in writing something on WP you display some collegiality and cooperative spirit. If your are going to say a company strategy is based on lies, you should at least prove your point or qualify it.CSTAR

Hi CDAGGER! As far as I know, it is a generally accepted view that Soros et al. earns most of his money by speculating and manipulating with the market and with lies. There's a famous story how he played with the British pound ten years ago. If you think that the page is not correct, you may try to change it.

earns most of his money by speculating and manipulating with the market and with lies

Of course, nobody disputes Soros is a speculator. However, whether it is a generally accepted view that he is a liar is another matter. Is this a judgement on speculators that they are all liars? You have to be much more specific about a claim like that. CSTAR 17:09, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello.

I modified the article. Please have a look. Thanks. CSTAR 22:48, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Jacques Chirac's photo with Saddam Hussein

Hi,

I'm not totally hostile to adding Chirac's photo with Hussein, but I'm worried about the POV aspect and the impression that it may give. The photo dates from 1976; the events we're describing date from 2002; and Chirac probably hasn't met Hussein for 15+ years now. David.Monniaux 18:54, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Afshar's Experiment

Hi there! I just wanted to say I enjoyed your comments over on the Double-slit experiment Talk page. I am still unsure how Afshar's results would invalidate the Many Worlds Interpretation, however, even if his results were correct. I will have to do some reading and thinking on that. Do you have a preference for any particular quantum theory yourself? Cheers! --Culix 00:31, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Lumidek!

Thanks for the response. No, unfortunately I do not speak Czech :P. Though I am thinking I may want to learn some so that I can translate some information on Richta. Do you by chance hire yourself out for translations? ;)

I am still trying to understand what the Consistent Histories theory means. I'm afraid it is very confusing for me. As for my 'favourite views', I am currently reading through the book "Fabric of Reality" by David Deutsch, where he hypothesizes that the interference observed in the Double Slit experiment is caused by "shadow photons" from parallel universes that interact with their corresponding photon in our universe. It is a very interesting read, and I must admit that when I first read the book I was quite convinced. I am attempting to do some reading on other quantum theories, however, to see if anyone has a better explanation.

Wouldn't it just be very nice if someone could solve why the Double Slit experiment produces wave-like results once and for all? ;) --Culix 03:41, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ownership society

Hello Lumidek.

I take exception to the content of the mentioned article for the following reasons:

• I'm not sure of the origin of the term Ownership society but let's concede that it is due to Bush. Is your definition really what the Bush team has in mind? Wouldn't it be more informative to say something like

The "ownership society" is a term introduced by the Bush administration (or whoever) in the Bush administration's efforts to promote various plans to privatize socialprograms? The term is intended to convey a certain idea about the structure of society that the Bush administration claims to promote.

Note that this is much more neutral than what you wrote. You could also do some research on what various individuals wrote about this (pro or con I don't care).

• I particularly take exception to the tone of this article which is unnecessarilly partisan and is arguably not NPOV. To produce a more balanced article, you would need to address other related efforts (such as health care and retirement privatization in Chile for instance.

To make WP succeed you have to be aware that there is a wide range of opinion in WP. Could I ask you to please start your article stubs in a way that leaves options for other individuals with possibly divergent opinions to add to them in constructive ways?

Thanks! CSTAR 03:23, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• I would just like to say it's an excellent article. Nice to hear from you. - Jerryseinfeld 22:28, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello Lumidek!

I responded to your note on Talk:Ownership_society.

Thanks!

I agree

I agree that Afshar linking to his user page here from the Afshar experiment page was a little unusual. User pages should not be linked to in this way. Samboy 15:22, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Afshar illustration

I made some illustrations for Afshar's experiment which will I add shortly to theAfshar experiment page. It is based on the New Scientist articles. Please have a look. If you or anybody else feels it should anything else, I will behappy to put it in (within reason).

I still need to put in illustrations for the photon detection images. I'm not quite sure yet how I'm going to do that. CSTAR 22:12, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes of course I am aware of those pictures, except the license may be a problem. That's why it's better to redraw them. Anyway they don't think they look too bad, mine that is :) CSTAR 22:22, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hey Lubos

Chill out! Anda diviértete un poco! Com'n what does Al Gore giving a speech on the coldest day of the year or ever prove? You're a scientist! And Newton? OK so maybe he hated Hookes' guts and maybe he wanted to be sarcastic and use the word giant? But why are you going around and putting this stuff in? Go to Inman square and get yourself a nice dinner. Try Jay's. Who knows, we may end up sitting next to each other? C'est moi avec mon épouse, la chinoise :) CSTAR 03:29, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

PS Anyway have an enjoyable Christmas! CSTAR 03:57, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello!

I didn't "accuse" you of anything! If you carefully look at what I actually wrote, I didn't say the claim that Al Gore gave a speech on the coldest day of the year wasn't true! I specifically asked you "what does it prove?". My point was that the fact is an anecdote, and if you're going to put it in the article, you should say something to specifically say it is irony.

And the comment "why are you going around and putting this stuff in?" was meant specifically to engage you in a conversation about finding a better way to formulate these claims for insertion in WP articles. For instance, it is well known that Hooke and Newton had an academic rivalry, that Hooke was ugly and of small stature and that Newton intensely disliked Hooke. As a result, it has often been suggested (and I concede credibly so) that Newton's remarks about "sitting on shoulders of giants" in his letter to Hooke may have been ironic, as you point out. But the key word is "may". And even if there was an element of irony in that remark, it is also reasonable to surmise that Newton also intended to say and convey to future generations the more straightforward meaning of the text.

OK?

Enjoy your holiday! CSTAR 16:09, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Well, you may have a point, CDAGGER. ;-) But I'm not sure whether you have one. Newton's remarks about the giants were directly written in a letter to Hooke whom he disliked a lot. Because Newton was not an idiot, he could certainly figure out that there can be some relation and interference between Hooke's height and the word "giant" used in Newton's letter. It's not quite clear whether he just want to insult Hooke or something more - and I am not speculating about it. But there was certainly a link, and the word "may" is a speculation. By the way, I only added the comment to 1 or 2 pages, but the same explanation already exists on many other wikipages, written by other people.

Gore. Oh, sorry, I read your previous comment incorrectly. I thought that you were asking me whether I could prove that it was the coldest day. Sorry, now I see that you ask "what does it prove". OK, let me answer: it proves that Al Gore does not have a terribly good intuition in politics, if he's ready to humiliate himself for free, and that he does not care about the actual observations too much - or not at all - when he talks about scientific questions. Happy Christmas, I'm gonna celebrate around. --Lumidek 18:09, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)

POV

Please review NPOV. Neutrality 06:22, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

Well, who-hoo for you. All I can say is that you should quit trying to impose an extremist minority point of view (global warming is all made up, conspiracy theory nonsense) on articles at the expense of extablished scientific consensus. 17:52, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. - By the way, do you have any actual training or expertise in the area of climate change? Or do you just pretend to be an "expert"? Neutrality 17:52, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

OK. Your latest message on my talk page definitely proved that you're a kook and crackpot. And as far as me being a "Nazi"—see Godwin's law. Neutrality 18:20, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

Fun czar etc...

Are you sure "fun czar" deserves a separate article? Does anyone besides Harvard people use the name? Also, is Zac Corker notable enough to deserve a separate article? Looks like Harvard trivia to me. Are you planning to expand Zac Corker a bit to establish his notability/add info? I would do it myself, but I don't know much about him (and honestly I don't care).

I dislike putting articles on VfD when their authors are known users, but I suspect either one (if not both) would get trashed if I posted them for deletion. Just wanted to give you notice before doing anything that could upset you. Phils 21:38, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Fictitious force

(William M. Connolley 12:54, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)) Hi. I have got in above my head again at Talk:Fictitious force over the interpretation of GR and the absoluteness of rotation and the Sagnac effect and stuff. You might take a look.

(William M. Connolley 19:31, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)) Thanks for looking. BTW, you mentioned climate model... did you mean that? Yes I edit and watch it, but you haven't (not under Lumidek). So I'm confused...

Hi Lumidek. I think you should take another look at the Fictitious force article. I had proposed a new article on the discussion page, hoping to attract attention of people who care about the subject. William M. Connolley said some of the things I wrote appeared wrong to him, so I offered explanation. To avoid clutter, I removed the proposal from the discussion page, awaiting developments. My guess is you read the existing article. I have now replaced the article. Cleon Teunissen 21:41, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lumidek, you wrote

This apparent contradiction is not a real contradiction in physics: physics is about making predictions --Lumidek

I agree with you, doing physics is about getting the numbers to fit. If something doesn't impede progress, it does not matter for doing physics. However, I'm involved in teaching phyisics, and I need to present a consistent picture. The Sagnac effect is genuine physics, the Sagnac effect doesn't contradict relativistic physics; relativistic physics predicts it.

External link: Reflections on Relativity, by Jonathan Vos Post section 2.7 The Sagnac effect.

On the matter of fictitious forces, newtonian dynamics and relativistic dynamics are in agreement with each other. In the teaching of physics that information needs to be conveyed. Cleon Teunissen 08:53, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Bell's theorem

In extensively editing this article, I may have deleted some edits you made to it, particularly in the section "Implications of violation of Bell's inequality". I have no objection to anything you wrote (your statements were true), but the tone of the section still remained anti QM. Thus, I got rid of the whole kit'n kaboodle. Please reinsert somewhere if you still think it is necessary. I am still working on the article getting rid of the anti-QM POV.CSTAR 17:54, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

MM05

(William M. Connolley 10:29, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)) Hi. I first moved down, then removed entirly, the MM05 bit you added. Sorry, but the reason for removal was that this isn't even published yet. Rutherford, Mann et al have a piece rubbishing M&M in press (available from http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=10) but I haven't put that into wiki as I don't think its right to put in unpublished stuff. I don't think wiki is for breaking news, in the science area.

Votes for deletion: Hagen Kleinert

Hi! I noticed you are a scientist in the field of physics. I'd like to inform you that there is a discussion over at Votes for Deletion that might interest you. It concerns an article on Hagen Kleinert, a German colleague of yours. Apparently some people have a big problem with the fact that it seems like he started the article himself. While I can understand and respect that opinion, personally, I think that isn't that big a deal, since the article contains verifiable facts only, and to me (who know very little about the field) he seems like a really notable scholar. However, in the discussion, some people have also taken to claiming that having written 8 books and "only" 350+ articles in peer-reviewed publications is not notable, since writing is what professors are supposed to do, and that "a lot of mediocre academics have acheived this and more". Regardless of how you feel about accepting autobiographies in Misplaced Pages, I think your thoughts on the "notability threshold" for professors could be very valuable for both this and future VfD debates. On the other hand, if you should feel this is not a debate you want to get into, I would very much understand that. / Alarm 19:25, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thermodynamics of greenhouses

Hi. You're the only other physicist I'm aware of who has been posting on climate articles, so I thought I might be able to draw your attention to greenhouse effect (see the recent history) and the corresponding discussion Talk:Greenhouse effect#Origin of Name (or in fact, 90% of the talk page which is on the same topic). In short summary, WMC seems to continually reinserting material stating that convection always provides a cooling action, and that suppression of convection produces a warming effect, which of course horribly violates the laws of thermodynamics. In reality, of course, heating requires that work be done, namely by a radiative imbalance. I would appreciate if you could take a look and give some assistance. — Cortonin | Talk 18:21, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Section 2.2 of the Gravity article

--Cleon Teunissen 11:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi Lumidek,

some time ago William M Connolley asked you to look at something in the wikipedia article on gravity and you were able to help. I have the same sort of question now. It is about section 2.2 of the current article. "How is there conservation of energy if gravity is not categorized as a force."

In the case of an electrostatic field it is possible to define a potential. Increasing the distance r between two test-charges requires a force, hence it is possible to assign a potential energy to every distance r between the two test-charges. The magnitude of the force of attraction is proportional to the first derivative of the function that describes the potential between the two test-particles as a function of their relative distance.

In the case of electrostatic attraction the force (described by Coulomb's Law) is always present, whether the two test-charges are moving towards each other or not. In the case of gravity it is less clear. Increasing the distance r between two test-masses requires a force, so in that way a function for a potential energy can be defined. On the other hand, when two test-masses are free-falling towards each other then they are in inertial motion, so there is no force.

Section 2.2 of the gravity article attempts to show that there is conservation, just not conservation of the sum of the newtonian expressions of kinetic and potential energy. Gravity alters the rate of time, so the newtonian expression for kinetic energy doesn't hold, that is clear. But it seems to me that the current section 2.2 doesn't succeed in clarifying what it intends to clarify. I wrote about these issues on William's Talk page: internal link: Repositories of potential energy --Cleon Teunissen 11:32, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

New physics stubs

Hi Lumidek,

You've been doing some great work creating new physics stub articles. To help other physics experts find them, you might consider using the more specific {{physics-stub}} stub template, rather than the generic {{stub}} template. Happy editing, TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 02:47, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Re Afshar

I would be very surprised if Afshar faked his results, that is gave an incorrect report on what he actually did and what he actually observed, either intentionally or because he used or read his instruments incorrectly. In fact as far as I can tell the criticisms levelled against him don't concern reproducibility of the results. If indeed this were true then it should be prominently noted. Regardless of whether or not someone is a crank, I have been very careful to avoid using that term becuase it is rarely helpful, and in Afshar's case, this fact would be harder to justify, since he does have a faculty appointment somewhere . I think it is better to stick to the widely known facts of the case. See Talk:Bell's theorem. This incident by the way motivated Crackpot index. Regards--CSTAR 16:38, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Why are you telling me this, since it is obviously true!

The whole problem is only philosophy - he incorrectly interprets the experiment

Of course, that's what I said, on the talk page on Afshar and interpretation etc.; specifically I said "However, I (and many others) do question his interpretation of these results." And this is what I also I tried to add to the article on Afshar experiment. Afshar incidentally has reverted me twice.

but if you really believe that Afshar has done something important, then you are the kind of dumb people

Lubos, if you bother to read what I wrote, you should immediately realize that the previous comment is pointless.

GR project

Hi Lumidek.

I see that you have editted (and created) some general relativity (GR) articles. Some of us have attempted to make a conscious effort at revising the GR articles by forming a project called Wikiproject GTR. Currently, we have 3 members and are looking for more. I feel that your contributions would be very much appreciated. Would you be interested in joining ? ---Mpatel (talk) 10:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

hi! are you, by chance, Lubos Motl?

just curious. if you are, i am suprized you haven't been involved in Bogdanov Affair. i'm sure the B brothers would have liked that since, if you are Dr. Motl, it seems from other web pages that you had been somewhat supportive of them. in any case, your input would have been welcome. best regards r b-j 12:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Rbj, thanks for your message. I've written a couple of words on the talk page of the affair. I can't spend half of my time with it right now. Let me hope they will be doing fine. Some of the ideas are interesting. All the best, Lubos --Lumidek 12:42, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

well, i'm pleased to meet you. i have to confess (and you probably could tell, just looking at my talk page) that it appears to me, a non-physicist and electrical engineer, that the greater physics community has utterly rejected the Bogdanov's publications. there appears to be about 4 physicists that i can find on the web that have written a reasonably detailed refutation of the Bogdanovs' work product from a mathematical POV. if there is a kernel of real physics in what they write, someone who actually can deal with it rigorously should pick it up and develop it. that would be good for both the Bogdanovs and the physics community. perhaps you have the vision to behold The emperor's new clothes (and i mean that non-fecitiously) but, to the rest of us, he appears naked. best, r b-j 13:03, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
