- Prof. Abian,
-
- On 29-Oct-92 I posted this message and sent it to you directly through
- e-mail. You have yet to respond, if you feel that this points are
- meaningless, please tell me so and explain why. If not, then please
- respond to them.

- The Following is from Re: TIME HAS INERTIA ABIAN replies to
- R.J.KNAPP(with slight grammar changes);
-
- >Ok, I accept that in your formula E=m(0)exp(-At). However, my questions
- >are still valid (why hasn't the sun intenstiy drop,why hasn't conduction
- >droped, and why are nuclear particles harder to produce in lab (all
- >three are as time increases)) becuse of the mass-energy equivalence
- >which you have said is the only good[science] Einstien ever did. Also
- >other questions, if E is decreasing, why haven't we noticed the earth or
- >any other planet spiraling into the sun? (There is a diff. eq. relating
- >energy to orbit, I can't remeber it right now, but it can be found in
- >Fowles _Anayltic Mechanics_)
-
- >You claim you do not give "snow jobs," I respectfully sir, (for I am
- >only an undergrad.) think your (A1) is a snow job, it quantifies nothing
- >(unless you are holding back on us), and with out quatification we would
- >not have gotten (technologically at least) where we are today, the very
- >computer you are e-mailing us on is infact based on the very theories
- >you are trying to modify. Therefore, I feel that you should show
- >(mathematically) how your theory approximates ours at small time
- >intervals for example:
-
- >How does E=m(0)exp(-At) become at low relative
- >velocities and small delta t:
-
- >E=1/2(mv^2) + V (V=potential) ???

- >> Mr. Knapp, I would appreciate it very much if you would post in TIME HAS
- >>INERTIA your honest opinion about my explanation and the above "... non-
- >>abelian gauge theory ..." or that "TIME has to be taken in quantum gravity
- >>as the invariance of classical general relativity under the group of
- >>diffeomorphisms of the spacetime manifold !". Please >be truthful
- and courag-
- eous for once.
-
- >First as I stated before, I am only an undergrad. (in physics). You will
- >have to explain this to me in terms I can understand.(I'm a Junior)
- >Secondly, the "Please be truthful and courageous for once" I feel is a
- >personal attack. I have always been truthful and honest (esp. in
- >relation to physics), anyone who knows me can attest to this. In fact I
- >am normally so honest as to be too blunt (I am obviously not acting so
- >because of your higher education then myself). Please I ask you not to
- >make judgement upon my character as a result of one post. I did not
- >insult you, so why insult my integrity?
-
- >And my last point, if (A1) governs everything, why did I (raised
- >Catholic) convert to Buddhism at the first opertunity? It seems that if
- >(A1) truly governs everything, heuristic insights such as Netwons (that
- >the same force that makes an apple fall makes the moon orbit the earth,
- >would be imediatly disregarded because they are not in the "status-quo".
