Default HOW STEPHEN HAWKING CHANGED THE WORLD

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...-portrait.html
"Professor Stephen Hawking is responsible for changing the way the
world looks at the basic laws governing the universe."

In order to change the world, Professor Stephen Hawking explained to
it that the Michelson-Morley experiment had confirmed, once and for
all, the validity of Einstein's 1905 false light postulate and had
refuted, once and for all, the prediction of Newton's emission theory
of light according to which the speed of light does depend on the
speed of the emitter or the observer:

http://www.hawking.org.uk/lectures/dice.html
Professor Stephen Hawking: "Interestingly enough, Laplace himself
wrote a paper in 1799 on how some stars could have a gravitational
field so strong that light could not escape, but would be dragged back
onto the star. He even calculated that a star of the same density as
the Sun, but two hundred and fifty times the size, would have this
property. But although Laplace may not have realised it, the same idea
had been put forward 16 years earlier by a Cambridge man, John
Mitchell, in a paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal
Society. Both Mitchell and Laplace thought of light as consisting of
particles, rather like cannon balls, that could be slowed down by
gravity, and made to fall back on the star. But a famous experiment,
carried out by two Americans, Michelson and Morley in 1887, showed
that light always travelled at a speed of one hundred and eighty six
thousand miles a second, no matter where it came from. How then could
gravity slow down light, and make it fall back."

http://www.time.com/time/time100/poc...of_rela6a.html
Professor Stephen Hawking: "But Michelson and Morley found no daily or
yearly differences between the two beams of light. It was as if light
always traveled at the same speed relative to you, no matter how you
were moving."

So the world changed to such an extent that, when on reading John
Norton's explanation:

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/arch.../02/Norton.pdf
John Norton: "Einstein regarded the Michelson-Morley experiment as
evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost
universally use it as support for the light postulate of special
relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE."

all Einstein zombies simultaneously decla

"Zombie believe Master John Norton not. Zombie believe Master Stephen
Hawking yes. Master Stephen Hawking clever very clever. Experiment say
Divine Albert right. Experiment say Michell wrong. Michell not clever
very clever. Master John Norton not clever very clever. Divine Albert
yes clever very clever. Master Stephen Hawking yes clever very
clever."

Then zombies sing "Divine Einstein" and go into convulsions.

The greatest collective mistake of the end of the 20th century was to
discard
Einstein as man of the 20th century and not of the 21st, to declare
that
all scientific findings possible were already made and target a
science
minded world in forms now replaced by cameras in the streets in the
UK.
No more science, then one gets the other interests associated to the
religion world, government world, a dishumanization and drop of
premarrital
sex in the USA 50 percent during Bush's term. An all delusive
radicalization
and attempt to fulfill a 21st century prediction vocaled among masses
that the 21st century is (regime) security and imperialescu brain
further
controlling the world with its other interests that are now tied to a
regime.

If Einstein was the pin icon of lifestyle, then other icons are (were)
needed.
The greatest crime of the 20th century end period and force a high
society
crime/great depression world, big brother, 20th century criminal is
now
in power.

Cold facts of war. War. I am British. Cold facts, of war. Stoopid.
Stoopid Ceausescu blood regime, imperialism, Einstein is the enemy.
Cultural and human discrimination of totalitarian scale government
power, the running of the predicted 21st century scheme of security.
Regimes and control of human, cultural, life, all through power in the
head, marxes, bushes. Ass licking of the regime side, being the best.
Raising high society crimes, raising jub discrimination to global
great depression. The global environment is absolutely friendly to the
return of Hitler. Government cultural and humanitarian totalitarian
scale regime. Cameras in the streets. Blacklists of the 1960's USA.
But the hippies are not coming back this time. Nor is Gandhi to stop
imperialism at its roots. The only thing coming and rising is a
Ceausescu nightmare that only sees culture and humanity as a regime
aspect, not a human aspect.

Pentcho, why not spend the next to years in mastering Newtonian
mechanics. Then after that, study the consequenes of Maxwell's work
on the electromagnetic waves, then begin to address the consequences
of Einstein's revelation. I'd guess that, assuming you have the "right
stuff", within around 6-7 years of intensive study, you will actually
know some physics.

You will not learn it from Hawking's table-top books sold at the mass
market booksellers.

In spite of the fact that Hawking is a media favorite, I cannot ever
recall even a single citation to anything that Hawking has ever
published in any advanced physics textbook. Don't you find that at
least a bit strange, since he himself was proclaimed his discoveries
to be nothing short of the greatest ever made in science? I you
believe anything of this sort, you likely believe that Al Gore
invented the Internet! :-)

If and when you actually study physics, your will realize this
yourself. When you do, I believe that you should return to this
newsgroup an post a sincere apology to all of the few remaining
physicists that actually participate in this newsgroup for all of your
past crap posts.

Pentcho, why not spend the next to years in mastering Newtonian
mechanics. *Then after that, study the consequenes of Maxwell's work
on the electromagnetic waves, then begin to address the consequences
of Einstein's revelation. I'd guess that, assuming you have the "right
stuff", within around 6-7 years of intensive study, you will actually
know some physics.


But I have already studied something:

http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/2515
"...he then goes on to propose the completely opposite hypothesis,
namely that "the energy of light is discontinuously distributed".
Einstein advocates this view partly because the wave theory seems to
lead to contradictions when applied to certain emission and absorption
phenomena (such as the photoelectric effect), but mainly because he is
dissatisfied with the "profound difference" that existed between the
discrete corpuscular description of matter and Maxwell's continuous-
field description of radiation."

http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/pdf...09145525ca.pdf
John Stachel: "It is not so well known that there was "another
Einstein," who from 1916 on was skeptical about the continuum as a
foundational element in physics..." Albert Einstein: "I consider it
entirely possible that physics cannot be based upon the field concept,
that is on continuous structures. Then nothing will remain of my whole
castle in the air, including the theory of gravitation, but also
nothing of the rest of contemporary physics."

Do you think what I have already studied is important? Sufficient?
