MetaFrizzics Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 According to Ives (1952), the derivation Einstein attempted of the formula E = mc2 was fatally flawed because Einstein set out to prove what he assumed. This is similar to the careless handling of the equations for radioactive decay which Einstein derived. It turns out that Einstein mixed kinematics and mechanics, and out popped the neutrino. The neutrino may be a mythical particle accidentally created by Einstein (Carezani, 1999). We have two choices with respect to neutrinos: there are at least 40 different types or there are zero types. Occam's razor rules here.source: http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/einstein.html What interests me here is whether there really is a possibility that the Neutrino is really one of Einstein's blunders. (as opposed to say, Weinberg's or Dirac's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaFrizzics Posted August 6, 2005 Author Share Posted August 6, 2005 Then what is the The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory observing? See: [url']http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/[/url]Obviously, the first thing it is observing is the law that says every govt. funded physics research project's budget must expand to fill the quantum flux void created by budgets located in the backward light-cone. You will always find neutrinos of various flavours using Neopolitean Group Theory. Sadly, most 'physics research' budgets are carefully proportioned to front diverted unauthorized funds for covert military ops. So Neutrinos will always occupy more states than can be filled by previously built particle accelerators. For instance, at least 30% of Ontario Hydro's budget is used to fund American military projects with Canadian taxpayer's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 How do you conserve energy and momentum in beta decays? Why is the beta energy a continuous function rather than having discrete values as in alpha decay? "The physics community is also supported by a three-legged stool. The first leg is Einstein's physics. The second leg is cold fusion. The third leg is autodynamics." Is pretty funny. Physics is supported by cold fusion?

insane_alien Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 what the hell have we been observing all this time if it isn't neutrinos? <sarcasm> Ahhh! i know! it must be another new particle that behaves exactly like a neutrino would behave if they existed, right. </sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL.Luke Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 yes Einstein did set out to prove his own assumptions in relativity. The reason he did this however is that all of the equations had already been made. What Einstein did was to show that the equations were the way they were because of the constancy of the speed of light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a cover story; the truth is the money goes toward covert nighttime spraying of Toronto with Fabreaze air freshener to maintain the fiction that the shit in that town doesn't stink!

MetaFrizzics Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 How do you conserve energy and momentum in beta decays? Why is the beta energy a continuous function rather than having discrete values as in alpha decay?Well, personally, I tend toward Hamiltonian formulations of conservation laws. But that stuff is so abstract I have to wonder sometimes. These are good questions. But if conservation laws are misformulated, the argument is weakened. For instance, we have two different versions of conservation laws now, one for Newtonian physics and one for relativistic calculations. "The physics community is also supported by a three-legged stool. The first leg is Einstein's physics. The second leg is cold fusion. The third leg is autodynamics." Is pretty funny. Physics is supported by cold fusion? Yeah that's a zinger. What the hell is autodynamics? Alien: A neutrino by any other name would miscalculate just as sweetly. "That's just a cover story..." Yes, for some time the pollution index in Toronto has been worse than Los Angeles in the 80s, but they have been downplaying it for the "Toronto the Good" image, in spite of old people dropping like flies over there. Do you have a theme tune we could play when reading your posts? The closing theme from Dr. Strangelove: "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when..."

DV8 2XL Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 We'll Meet Again The Ink Spots Written by Ross Parker and Hughie Charles This version did not chart but In 1941, Kay Kyser and Guy Lombardo's versions both hit # 24 In 1942, Benny Goodman stood alone at # 16 And in 1954, Vera Lynn brought it back at # 29 and her version was used in the final scene of the 1964 film "Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day Keep smiling through, just the way you used to do Till the blue skies chase the dark clouds far away Now, won't you please say "Hello" to the folks that I know Tell 'em it won't be long 'cause they'd be happy to know that when you saw me go I was singing this song We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when But I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day MONOLOGUE: Yes, we'll meet again. Darlin', I don't know where and I don't know when. But I KNOW we'll meet again one of these good ole sunshiny days. Ya know, darlin', all ya gotta do is just keep on smilin' through you know just like you ALWAYS do, until the blue skies chase the dark clouds far, far, far away. I wantcha to do me a favor, please say "Hello" to all the folks that I know. Well, just tell 'em it won't be long. They'd be happy to know that when you saw me go, I was standin' right here, singin' this song. We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when But I know we'll meet again some sunny day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DQW Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 The nexusmagazine article is pretty funny. One person who I suspect mightn't have appreciated the humor would be Pauli. He would have been furious that some bloke was giving Einstein the credit for predicting the neutrino. Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daecon Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Neutrinos aren't real? Darn, there go my plans for building a Stargate... But if there are electrons and positrons, wouldn't you expect there to be neutrinos too? Or am I mis-understanding the nature of the neutrino as a non-charged electron type particle?

MetaFrizzics Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Essentially a neutrino is an Italian flavoured quark cell. They are members of the Gambino family of Fermioni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
