dark soul
etc, the latter
intellectual freedom

cramming, distasteful
one must avoid stultifying affairs
swiss humane practical
don't want to burden people with modest means

don't be an misanthrope

hot to cold, entropy

don't be philistine, crass with creature comforts
uncommonly diversified
worldly oyster to hatch ideas
critically vigilant
challenge every conventional wisdom
question every premise
never accept the truth of something merely because views as obvious
resist being credulous

peel off irrelevant facts
don't churn out safe publications
originality and creativity were not prime assets for climbing academic ladders
do not fall to prejudices and prevailing wisdom of patrons
academic superficiality
skepticism, independence of judgement
challenge basic assumptions

converse freely
great thinkers

some causality cannot be deduced by our logical efforts

time is not determined by motion or vibration
observe concepts in operation, 2 simultaneous concepts
absolute time and space
thoughts not by experience
Avogadro, grams molecules, same amount of molecules

heuristic, probable at best

gossamer

intuition is earlier experience

big things are not inducted in science, it is intuitive grasp on the topic
basic facts turned hypothetical laws, derived conclusion

less empirical knowledge
deduction, not induction
not experimental facts
universal formal principle form results
top down grand postulates
same constant laws inertia and velocity

theoretical concepts
patent office brink of science
superfluous, get rid of dogma
absolute simultaneous and time does not exist
space and distance is relative too
velocity slows time because of diagonal effect
different measurements, no rest frame of reference
union is independent reality
misconception
simplicity beauty
clarity of thought
simpler and elegant

light and mass are interchangeable and exist in different forms, radio
2 theories describe the same thing
energize theory instead of resist into case
unifying theories
light gravity, red shift
lament divinely
consciousnesses and open to advice

picture physical reality of abstraction



2 questions: curse of oak island
why does one of the guys look like bill gates? the show would be so different if bill gates was involved

how much tv money is there to stipend the oak island excavation? do they have a fund raiser on the internet? if not, then they must be rolling in money to do this stuff, first to buy the island and then get all those trucks to show up

if the show really claims that the arc and all these stuff were there, seal team 5 would be there the fbi and cia would be there -- they would either make it impossible to retrieve or would have retrieved it a long time ago...like FDR, a free mason was involved, etc...the free masons were all around one of the episodes when they were examining the coins found there

gravitas rumination

gravity space time
curve fabric space time
matter how to curve space time
space time how to move matter
space time matter energy
covarian
motion accelerated inertia rotational arbitrary
unmixed geniality

philosophical penetration
physical intuition
mercury para-helium motion
resist it

detente
philistine

gravity curve back on itself
finite, but boundless, not infinite
deluge


cult of individual personality
society makes you famous achievements reality

certainty of realms
spectator of it

not be restrained by awareness
sacrifice to teh altar of stupidity to satisfy mankind
toss gauntlet, scientific forum

equanimity
antipathy
henry ford is an anti semite
assiduity assimilate
perfidious
tumultuous greeting
scientific conceptions of the universe
gentiles
subtle than malicious
visceral
citizen of the world
assimilation does not guarantee safety

downright normal human existence in quietude, practical scenery, not for me
dolting life

restraint in participation political affairs
no desire to represent people who does not choose me to represent them

we are on a very small star despite the depravity of the world and some of the bigger stars may be virtuous and happy

desperate calamity of languages despite good tasting cake

moderate considerate generous with a appreciation of the arts
ornament with no chance of peace or privacy

modest theoretical finesse
routine study, beacon of achievement
theoreticians and experimentalism
stand above contemporaries

nobel prize more like grammy than oscar...political ties and affiliations
laureates, twin sided, not
epistemology

unifying general relativity quantum mechanics electromagnetic theory
great break thought s before 40
become authority
space time ether, inertia
general relativity and rotation, physical properties

instant action at a distance, inertia
devoid of other objects, still feels
empty space time still has acceleration
electric field
general relativity and motion

contrast of ether and matter fade away, unified theory of thought
physical reality of quanta. particles
indivisible units
wave and particle discontinuities
quantum leap, disconnected shift

musically in the sphere of thought
quantum theory of radiation
black body radiation
absorption and emission bathed in light
atoms radiation in spontaneous and stimulated action

light articulated stimulated emission of radiation, laser

photon has radiation, particular direction
chance, roll of dice, no determinism, no classical physics
no cause and affect rules
quantum non causality
no time or direction, to chance
fundamental randomness, undermines physics

absorption and emission of light
probabilities and uncertainties rule
free will to moment and direction
end to certainties and absolutes in nature

space and time into fabric
quantum true underlying under-certainties

how do you prove a contender with laureates that don't understand it?
medicine to prove physics?
bohr
unproven physics cannot be rewarded...only laws not theory on relativity
only with laws are proven by past theories, then the past theories are given retroactively or forgotten

radical youth theories
no objective reality or position
chance indeterminacy probability
non rigorous causality

unraveling of physics
certain things cannot be observed and cannot be ascribed reality
no strict determinism
future based on probability
not given everything about the present

objective reality, external world independent of observing is the basis of all science

arranged the world in such a way...most of what happened, leave it to chance
thoroughly, chance despite all this probability

quantum incomplete, relativity, not leave things to change
unified field theory

electricity gravity magnetism, quantum
asymmetries not inherent
electrodynamics
extend geometry of general relativity

5th dimension, circular

extra compact strong theory
16 tensors for elector-magetivity
connect to gravitation
distant parallelism related curved space

elusive matter, universal freedom
mathematical formalities than physical reality

no deterministic laws, just chance
position momentum is precision
action at a distance, relativity
simplicity friendless
intransigent

quantum not physical reality, but probability of physical reality
not what nature is but what we can say about nature

to be would be to be perceived, tree falls in forest, no one perceives

underlying reality that exists independently of our observations
deeds, not words

experience and experimental tests
postulates of physical world not empirical data
general postulates and principles for starting point
intuitions with pattern found in experimental data
empirical facts, certain general features
general principle in nature
physical intuition, mathematical formalism towards conclusion

mathematical approach

start and end with experience empiricism
pure reason and deduction
equation than experience
nature conceivable in math simplicity
concept and laws of nature
represent things themselves instead of probability

gravity is not only force pulling inward, other forces pulling outward
expanding
how far is proportional to how far they are moving away from us

dark energy still needs cosmos constant
expansion of the universe

creative intellect

do stuff benefit
don't do stuff harm

lief for life sake is hollow, must share experience

civil liberty, tolerance equality prevails in law
change attitude with evidence
cannot shut eyes to reality

purity, goodness
freedom creativity solitude

do low profile, caution
not detached of environment
everything leads back to reality, makes sense, intuitive
rational nature of reality, to some extent rational to human beings
else science degenerates into empiricism

inner harmony of world

universe manifestation of field itself, holographic
don't be despondent

defy conventional thinking, tenacity to return to problem over again

not unilateral disarmament
disarmament of others would be disastrous

suspicious, intrusive, inept,

free expression independence of thought

capitalism selfishness instead of cooperation
boom bust of depression
acquire wealth instead of serve others
careers instead of love of work creativity
political contributions
;planned economy, may have tyrannical
assist to help fellow man
individual liberty protect, science and art
less bureaucracy


free thought belief, nonconformist
dissent and nonconformity better American
adroit

time doesn't exist because each beholder views it differently infinite present, so time travel is possible

math through space time
learned subtle, cannot experience
serene
my temperament
do not take myself orr the like of others so seriously
not ashamed of weaknesses and vices
take things as they come with equanimity and humor
natural aptitude experience deal with people and official function
objective matters
