Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
So I have been away for few days enjoying New Year parties and when I come back there is a talk about conspiracy theories here coming form the AGW church? Guys, this is a science forum, if you like to indulge yourselves in the conspiracy theories stuff, I bet there are plenty of other places to do ...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
I forgot, for anyone interested in learning a bit about the innumerable ways in which the human mind "misfires" when trying to reason, I highly recommend these two books. They are not fairly technical so you don't need any training in psychology to follow them and, as I said before, they can be an e...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
Until just a few years back I thought that fusion was the only kind of energy that could realistically substitute fossil fuels. I'm glad to have been proved wrong. Renewable energy sources are getting there as we speak. Now, that could be bad for fusion. If it takes (as Maui stated, and I concur) mo...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
You lost me in the rest of your argument about some conspiracy theories and claim humans are not behaving rationally. And that is exactly the problem, that most of us, most of the time, can't see that we are not thinking clearly. I read this book about 20 years ago, "Irrationality: The Enemy Within...

It looks it is not new, just a re-edition.
Pity.

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
This is equivalent to proposal that only professional politicians should be discussing politics, as only they can fully comprehend what is really going on in the country. False analogy. ... let me just quote Feymann again: “Science is the Belief in the Ignorance of Experts” Out of context. --------...

Re: Bill Gates is heading a $1 billion venture fund to combat climate change
In every discussion about AGW, at some point someone throws the accusation of the other side following a religious creed. It is funny because in these cases -unless one of the positions is held by a professional climatologist- BOTH sides rely in the word of others so, in the sense this slur is throw...

Thus the S1/S2 clock time is identical to the previous B time, and shorter than the OB time. However you cannot calculate the elapsed time of OB clock from S1/S2 without a time shift correction, just the ame as in the B case. Sorry Tom, I don't follow you there. Do you mean that when they compare O...

Tom, you base your reasoning in that for twins to reunite one (or both) has to abandon his initial inertial FOR, and if only one of them does so that asymmetry justifies the age difference when they meet. But what if we make a different experiment (without twins), one in which no one abandon their i...

>That makes it sound like the stupid deserve to be ripped off! It is exactly how world works and it is very ethical and rational from my perspective. Then I guess it would be unethical for someone to forewarn the gullible about a potential scam, lest it prevent them from getting the natural justice...

I'm starting to get a headache from all this. Lets see if I have it right. Both try to justify/solve the twins paradox of SR, but to do that have to fill one hole in SR, that it says nothing of what happens in inertial FR switches. So you do it starting from a different principle, Johan from SR firs...

Well, from Arbiter perspective both twins start having the same age but during their travel Twin1 gets younger and younger than Twin2, and that difference never decrease, only grows. The problem is when the arbiter changes its FOR. That will dramatically change its view of the time of the far away ...

The two arbiters do see the first leg of their twin's journey as you say. However they can only observe the second leg of their twin, and the whole journey of the other twin, at a distance. The twin2 arbiter is not in F0, but in the twin2 outward leg rest frame. This is assymetric so he will indeed...

Tom, if I recall correctly you say that Johan's defend the existence of an universal time, and that that doesn't exist. Doesn't your interpretation implies the existence of privileged FOR? The key is that they meet up again (in the same FOR). In that case the relative age is computed in the origina...
