      Hi

      Can you please perm close/ban my account. Please leave my posts and thread though it may lead to an interesting debate. Sadly users are not interested in reading the papers I have cited, they are going as far to call the scientists who I have cited "hacks" and "cranks" this is all very strange to see considering they are professional scientists published in decent peer reviewed journals, I worked as a student under Eugene Koonin. The forum is not for me and it seems some users let their emotions get in the way instead of looking at the evidence. Thanks.


      Helsdon. No confirmation needed, please perm close my account.

      Many apologies.

      I thought experts liked going down paths they know so very very very well.

      Now, I know a new trait of humans.

      Experts hate proving they are experts.

      Thanks for teaching me this about experts.

      If you have time could you answer a conundrum from me in this thread:

      http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?p=2926556&posted=1#post2926556

      It is my understanding (and I could be wrong) that the motion imparted to a molocule by a photon (IR in particular) is random because the motion is given by heating, not by a direct physical push by the photon on the molocule as a photon has no mass to do so.

      I felt as though I was actually getting through to someone and then I had someone come by and snipe the thread telling me that I'm wrong killing my progress. Am I wrong or do both things happen or does it get pushed?

      I posted this to you in respect to the reply you posted to my thread.
      The question mean that the linear graph should be drawn on the same axis with that of the quadratic graph (y=x2+4x-6) such that the intersection of the two graphs (linear and quadratic graph) will give the solution to equation x2+4x-7=0. I think that is what the question require. Thank you.

      hi
      I'm sorry to bother you but I think a 4 weeks wait is a patient thing enough to do

      I've no idea why despite the frequent online status of you and some of your friends (online every day as of 29/11/2011), they seemed to failed to notice any pms.

      My pm is not a conspiracy theory claim or argument, it's just a concept on maths needed for clarification

      I've no idea why I always encounter this phenomenon (wait for 3+ weeks for a reply from a receipent who is online and post in thread nearly every day) when on the internet, regardless of my reputation within the group, and regardless whether it is a person I know of or a complete stranger

      Because of this, excuse my attitude, I 'll try to be as calm as possible
      Thank!

      Hi prometheus, congrats (commiserations?) on the modship :)

      A couple suggestions regarding stickied threads, discuss/ignore as you see fit (I haven't messaged this to the other mods).

      - The Tex thread should be stickied. How to post equations is something newcomers look for, and it's a useful reference and sandbox.
      - The old Alpha rules thread should be unstickied. It's obsolete, I think. It was an experiment that never took off, and was too much effort to work well anyway.

      Cheers, Pete

      Hey buddy, I'm still going to go through my Wilson renormalization notes at some point soon, just been really tied up with a few things and got distracted lately with deriving Relativity directly from Maxwell. I read that Wilson's approach isn't actually supposed to be 100% equivalent to the counterterm approach, but rather a correction to it. Maybe for an infinite cutoff they both become equivalent. I will look into it though, I promise!

      Hello. I followed a thread on Clifford algebras, and after reading your response, I thought I would inquire as to whether you were interested in writing a book. I work for Perfectly Scientific Press, and we are currently looking for writers. We are located in Portland, Oregon, and we offer a considerably favorable royalty agreement. Currently, we are seeking authors of scientific books. The topics may span disciplines. Perhaps you have an algebra for-general-audiences text in a style that has yet to be published? Maybe you simply have the seed of a more advanced idea, of a technical book, or dissertation. Please visit our website: http://www.perfscipress.com. And, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me, Thomas Reale at realett@gmail.com.
