Seems from the posts on this group that Lewis is not the only one to suffer this way. It's been dealt with months ago. Everone is entitled to an opinion and everyone is entitled to change their mind, as Lewis has done from his beliefs of 20 years ago, when he was a working scientist (not in climate science - he worked in defence). I could direct you to placess like Eli Rabbett's blog, but it will be a waste of time as you won't read it and you'll continue think that one person't opinion is greater than almost all the rest of climate scientists put together. That's what you deniers do. You deny all attempt at showing you sense and balance and you deny science. |

Take a valium and calm down. |

I went back couple of years ago and the math escaped me. As a college student I had the chance of discussing aspects of the theory with Feynman, and he cleared up one error I had. The problem is clocks moving slower as one velocity increases. The dilemna is that velocity is relative, so the observer's clock at rest would appear to run slower as viewed by the speeding vehicle. I asked Feynman the solution and he explained that the faster moving vehicle had accelerated to that speed. The idea of energy converting o mass was specific in Einstein's equations, but it was kinetic energy converting. I still find photons confusing, no mass but they have momentum, both linear and angular. If absorbed they become matter. Anyway old age brings some reflections and loss of understanding. I think I have a better integrated understanding of some things, which I call wisdom. One's analytical abilities decrease, one's synthetic abilities may improve. |
