to ChasidashHarry (sorry that i probably spelled you name wrong)
 

Shalom, Boker Tov.
What in the world is up with trying to disprove E=MC2? I'm clueless.

What are you trying to ask? I don't get it. (I just don't want to answer the wrong question)

you have frequently talked about disproving the widely-excepted theory of E=MC2, i just don't get why you are trying to dissprove on of the most universally-excepted theorms

Maybe he means your signature .. you know the part where it says

Looks like you question yourself about such a theory ;)

Well, besides for the fact that the first person who would formally disprove it would probably become a very rich man (:p), there are basically 2 reasons as to why I am persistent with this:

1) I have a great interest in science. Any pure and/or applied science. I have literally lost count of the number of books that I read about Physics and Quantum Mechanics. A very important and useful observation is that most things in science were learned through unacceptability of generally popular beliefs. (Take Copernicus, for example...) E=MC² is not an exception. I believe that if we look deeper and deeper into the formula itself, we just might be able to find a loophole. After all, Einstein was a human. A genius, but still a human.

2) It's just one of the things that gets me to think deeper in whatever I do - music, math,chess etc.... Challenging your brain is one of the most effective ways to sharpen it.

Understand? :)

p.s. Jose, you're probably right ;) I'm not sure of it myself, obviously.

ha, you sound like my rabbi

but you know, if you go back in time, people would have called you a loony for challenging Aristostle's beliefs in how matter is created, so I guess you have a point

look this up if you don't have too big of a headache ;)

I enjoy chess sometimes, ChasidishHarry.
If you have ICQ or MSN, and would like to play me in a game of online chess sometime, I would be honured :)

All right Harry... you disprove E = MC2 :)
I'm gonna prove that you can go faster than light(sorry can't remember the name of the theory at the mo). No matter what anyone says I just don't think light speed is the limit.
Like you said Einstein was a genius but he was still only human.
Who is your favorite scientist? Mine is Nikola Tesla.
Well adios amigo
WB

i think in one of his other posts chasidisharry talked about light not necessarily moving at a constant speed, and that being part of his research/theory against E = MC2 that being the case you ought to work with him as his research will lend to yours in the future

edit
sorry if i butchered the meaning of what you said harry, or if you never actually said it at all, im not exactly a science whiz since i have very little interest in it
/edit

Yeah, I said something like that. If you completely and scientifically shatter that phrase, that "the speed of light is constant", you have disproved the theory of E=MC², because that's the crutch on which it relies on.

Oh, and WindowsBurner, my favorite scientist is................Albert Einstein! Like I said long ago, I am a huge fan of Einstein, but that doesn't stop me from challenging his reasoning. ;)

p.s. WB, are you talking about the theory of Special Relativity?

meh
 

im not a sciency person, i'd love to have a discussion with someone on political philosophy though

Re: meh
 

Just do me one favor: please not on this thread. I would hate a logical scientific discussion going berserk with multiple political ideas and views. (I don't mean to offend anyone regarding politics, I'm just saying to stick with the topic :))

Jerry

no no no, im not talking about policy or anything, im talking about philosophy, i.e. what is the best form of government, or the theories of john locke
