Temp (holding place for some calcs, pse ignore) by BurtJordaan on April 26th, 2014, 9:22 am
I'm trying to understand Lincoln's values for frame C. So I added some values from GrayGhost's Minkowski diagram for essentially the same (ABC) scenario:

With $\large v= 0.866c$, $\large L/v =4$ and $\large \gamma = 2$:

Lincoln's transformations with Gray's values calculated:
$\large (x,t)_{1A} = (0, 0)$
$\large (x,t)_{2A} = (L, \frac{L}{v})=(3.464,4)$
$\large (x,t)_{3A} = (0, \frac{2L}{v})=(0,8)$

$\large...$

Calgary gathering votes to confine payday advance operations by Jameshopesca on December 7th, 2015, 1:37 pm

The move mirrors regulations that exist in different purviews in Canada and the United States, and is like the principles overseeing alcohol stores in Calgary, which can't work inside 300 meters.

One of the significant issues is the convergence of the organizations in poorer zones.

Speakers at chamber on Monday highlighted the cycle of obligation that frequently traps the individuals who use payday-advance administrations, which charge high loan fees.

Mike Brown, open strategy co-ordinator with neighborhood association Momentum, refered to insights that say 22 for each penny of the individuals who utilize the administrations return month to month.

He said that bunching of the banks "legitimizes" them.

The movement was likewise bolstered by the United Way and Vibrant Communities Calgary.

Darrell Howard with VCC said the moneylenders "really are counter-gainful to the neediness decrease procedures going...

Hypothesis of dark matter and dark energy with negative mass! by icarus2 on November 27th, 2009, 5:22 pm
[ Abstract ]

From the observance of the HSS team and SCP team in 1998, they gained the mass density of the negative(HSS: Ω_M = -0.38( ± 0.22), SCP: Ω_M = -0.4( ± 0.1)), using field equations which do not have the cosmological constant.

The quantity of the mass couldn't be negative value in they thought, the value was discarded.
We have to know that not the field equation has disposed the value, but our thought disposed that value.

In the world of positive mass, ground state is a point that energy is low, but in case of negative mass, ground state is a point that energy is the highest.

Accordingly, in the world of negative mass, energy level is filled from the highest to the lowest, and stable state means the highest energy state, so the catastrophe to energy level of minus infinity never happens [/u...

A discussion on the emasculation of society and it's consequence by wolfhnd on December 31st, 2012, 12:20 pm
(satire=a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.)

As the gun debate unfolds it becomes clear that large segments of the population are no longer willing to accept that a man, or a woman for that matter, has the right to defend themselves. This is just another example of how fussy thinking emasculators have come to dominate society. There was a time in not too distant past when everyone understood that the gene pool was best served by letting everyone crazy enough to carry a weapon do so. Unrestricted weapons served two purposes, one it quickly removed the ultra violent in gun duals and shoot outs from the population, secondly it improved the gene pool by removing anyone incapable of defending themselves. What the emasculators fail to understand is that fighting the natural order of things always results in disastrous consequences in the long term. Removing the evolutionary prerogative of violence from the...

The Ontology of Spacetime: Back From the Non-Euclidean Leap by mikiel on January 17th, 2011, 7:22 pm
An Ontology of Space, Time, and “Spacetime” : Back From the Non-Euclidean Leap

I have been an avid student of the ontology of “spacetime” since I was first introduced to the concept of non-Euclidean space and the Einstein/Minkowski invention of “curved spacetime” as an integral concept in relativity theory.

Since I was very young I have “seen” space as the infinite emptiness in which all things (objects, light, and forces) exist and move; and I have always thought of time as an artifact of measurement, i.e., the “duration” of specifically selected events between “clicks” of the stopwatch by whomever is ‘clocking” the chosen event. So I have been mystified by the concept “spacetime” as a malleable fabric, a coalescence of space and time as entities existing in and of themselves in “the real world.” (See Minkowki’s Glorious Non-entity, Spacetime, by Brown and Pooley for openers.)

When I say that I see space as infinite emptiness, this is not to deny finite volumes. Of course we can...
