Right. I was just wondering if E+MC2 contained all invariant properties, if mass and c are. The total energy would be conserved in all frames but manifested in different form, depending on the frame, would it not?

I think, ultimately, it requires empathy, an innate sense based on past familiarity with that person, whether they are genuine or not... I ask myself: How many times has my bullshit meter gone off with this person? If hardly ever, then I find it much easier to forgive. An effective apology requires that the recipient senses sincerity and contrition, commensurate with the nature, or degree, of the perceived offence. I think it is important not to turn the offender's feelings of humility into those of humiliation. The only result can be that they may feel disinclined to express such humility to others that they may offend in their future... it sets a bad precedent for them. Again, I find it is the less cognitively able and empathetic that tend to lack this insight , relying, instead, on their emotional response alone to be judge and jury. I might also add that it is also age and maturity that is a factor; I do expect very young people to lack this, regardless of mental abilities..

Indeed, . Thank you guys. Well, that's a little bit more understood. Afterthought: Is energy, as measured from any frame, invariant as well?

It's an absolute or constant parameter in this scenario?

It is after all, a racy subject by it's very nature..

With this forum in particular, I find the capacity of many long term members here for admitting their errors is very good, on the whole. It is one of the reasons I like this place. My personal experience is that ignorance and less cognitive ability correlates with a trend towards less humility. I think the researchers need to personally mix with both types in a social capacity to actually see the difference.

You can measure the mass of an object if it is moving relative to yourself and it will be the same, as you measured it stationary? Hope that makes sense.

Fish walking: fastforward to 1.40..

That looks good, will have a look and see if they have any in.

Because velocity is a relation between objects, could one or the other concept be defined by their relative velocities. i.e if velocities are the same, each would measure zero momentum of the other but some different inertial value depending on their differences in mass? in short, are they frame-dependent concepts?

How do they differ? They both seem to imply resistance to change in velocity; direction and/or speed.

This mirror I use is an interesting alternative to the usual handlebar mirrors...it can't get knocked about. It's called a Bike Eye. It takes a bit of getting used to, needing to learn to synchronise when you glance as the right-hand pedal reaches the top.

Sorry to hear you feel this way Sato, I, for one, shall miss your eloquent, intelligent, and clear style, irrespective of whether I have agreed with you or not.

From the Urban Dictionary: It's an expression about a certain mindset. The 'glasses' part pertains to seeing life through a particular kind of mental lens that only sees things in a certain way.

Yes, that's one scenario. I think of it as self-conditioning through repetition.

Yes that's true. Money can't buy love. You could, perhaps, given enough time, learn to love someone by sustained conscious effort and increasing familiarity, when you might not otherwise do so naturally. Learn to love the unlovable, so to speak.

Care to elaborate?

Yes, It would likely be some entity that is, at least, the equivalent to Apple in resource availability. I mean, they are pretty much the state-of-the-art, aren't they?

Of course, he's just a typical politician who's traits are more obvious..
