There is a coordinate 5 hours ago.There is no vector to take you there. You ARE fucking crazy. > You can add the value "-5 hours" to > any time coordinate to obtain a time coordinate 5 hours previous. Physics. This is physics. We use mathematics to DESCRIBE physics. We do not invent extra dimensions in physics. We do not invent vectors where none exist. You ARE fucking crazy. >> You can refer to yesterday just as you can refer to London. >> You can't go to either one instantaneously, and you can never go to >> yesterday. > > Yes, but that doesn't prevent yesterday from having a perfectly good > coordinate description. That's what I said. You confuse vectors with coordinates. You are fucking crazy. If tau = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) then it logically follows that tau = (t-uy/c^2)/sqrt(1-u^2/c^2) eta = (y-ut)/sqrt(1-y^2/c^2) and tau = (t-wz/c^2)/sqrt(1-w^2/c^2) zeta = (z-wt)/sqrt(1-w^2/c^2). You now have more relative time than you can handle. You are fucking crazy. Fruitcakes, the lot of you. Dumb, stooopid, idiotic morons, you all belong in an asylum where the sane will be safe from you, and all because some huckster thought he knew any math and made up his own definition of time. If you are going to use math to describe physics, use it properly. Learn the basics. You are BLIND, Poe, and a mental cripple as well. Every bit as stooopid as the aetherialists. Phuckwits. Like sheep, you follow each other around, walk in each others shit and think it's green grass. Gravity is caused by curved nothing? Baahhhhh, baahhhhh, baahhhhh, Einstein, bahhhhh,baaaahhhhh, bahhhh, Lorentz, bahhhh, bahhh. Sheep. Give the youngsters a chance, you stupid old cunt, and fuck off and die. Your pathetic mentality is insanity and isn't an asset to anyone. Androcles. |
