Yikes!
Figured out how to calibrate doppler radar yet so that you can measure
the speed of a train, or are you still troubled?
You'll find most train drivers rely on speedometers, they seem adequate
for the task, but of course they are measuring the speed of the track.
It does seem to be the same thing, though.
When asked if New York stops at this train, Galileo replied "Yes".
Einstein said "As has already been shown to the first order
of small quantities (by Galileo, but the secret to creativity
is knowing how to hide your sources so we won't mention him)
the same laws of mechanics will be valid for all frames of
reference for which the equations of electrodynamics and optics
hold good. We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which
will hereafter be called the "Principle of Relativity" so that
it looks as if I discovered it) to the status of a postulate,
because everything should be as simple as possible but not simpler
and imagination is more important than knowledge and if we knew
what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would
it? and as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they
are not certain; as far as they are certain, they do not refer to
reality and God doesn't play craps, poker or roulette and he may
be subtle, but he isn't plain mean and God does not care about our
mathematical difficulties; he integrates empirically and and what
really interests me is whether God had any choice in the creation
of the world and I never think of the future, it comes soon enough
and if you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the
tailor and a table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what
else does a man need to be happy? and it would be possible to
describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense
and common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age
eighteen and the whole of science is nothing more than a
refinement of everyday thinking and do not worry about your
difficulties in Mathematics, I can assure you mine are still
greater and two things are infinite: the universe and human
stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
Which is all very well, but does New York stop at this fucking
train or not?
It had better, or the Hudson River will stop at this train.
Androcles.
