- Yes, but it is an utterly empty statement because you have not defined
- what a status quo is. I think I know what you mean, but by stating
- your principle in such terms you invite criticism of a superficial sort.
- Read a book on Lagrangians and quantum action. Read Feynman and Hibbs.
- You will see that the mathematically precise way of stating (A1) is by
- the principle of least action. It is certainly not new with you, it
- is, in fact, as old as Aristotle. However, if you really want to do this
- right and make predictions, you have to be a little bit more precise.
- Of course, as I said before in a previous post, as soon as you write
- down a Lagrangian or Hamiltonian formalism in which to make your statement
- (A1) definite, you will be led inexorably to certain conservations principles
- which are in contradiction to your nonsense about time having inertia,
- statement (A2).
-
- Just go away and do it right and you will see what I am talking about,
- but please stop clogging up the net with your drivel.
