thomas, i dont think you and dawn will be able to collaborate.

That is a stupid remark to my posting, especially given the senseless
full

dawn is also getting a phd.

Not in Physics, apparently.

Maybe you can start with the paradoxes of motion,
like Zeno's paradoxes, and about the "unstoppable
force and immovable object", as ideals, then about
how anything can change at all, since the slightest
continuous difference in velocity involves infinitely-many
higher orders of acceleration, while though most all of
those are infinitesimal.

The best they can do is to ignore megalomaniac lunatics like you who like to >use fancy terms but do not have the first clue what they are babbling about.

That directly applies to notions like rest frames
and acceleration and velocity, in a universe with
causality and continuity.

No, Zeno's paradox and ideas of "what happens if an unstoppable force acts
on an immovable object" play no role in Physics. Those are merely >laypeople's misconceptions what Physics would be about.

Physics is NOT philosophy.

You just tested Positive for Stupid.

Have you ever heard Albert Einstein mentioned he was a Physicist?

natural philosophy was the common term for the study of physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_philosophy

on Einstein desk, there is a book on PHILOSOPHY because,
that is how he learned...Relativity. https://static.life.com/wp-content/uploads/migrated/2014/10/the-day-einstein-died-02.jpg

Natural philosophy or philosophy of nature is the philosophical study
of physics, that is, nature and the physical universe.

Learn to read.

Isaac Newton's book Philosophiu Naturalis Principia Mathematica
(1687) (English: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy)

Math is.. Philosophy.

mathematics were a part of natural philosophy...

Math is not science. Numbers don't exist.

dis stuff is all in the head.

(or should I say...all between your pointed ears?)



you gotta knock off dis off-the-cuff talk...

Usenet will not have it.
