new one. Oh well, I couldn't pass up a good deal.I figure that since
you know physics, you likely know astronomy too. |

Relativity is NOT as trivial as people usually thinks. It took a great genius to
think about it ! Lorentz (not an idiot himself, he won the Nobel Prize in 1902)
wrote the right starting equations but couldn't understand their physical
meaning. A huge revolution was needed to understand their meaning and that's
what Albert did. I don't think that many persons in history could have thought
of it. Maybe Newton, maybe Gauss, maybe only (or just) one: Einstein. The theory
doesn't take lots of Maths and is based on an apparently simple but actually
very deep (or profound) idea. The GENERAL theory of relativity is MUCH more hard
to understand and takes MUCH more Maths. A great genius (such as the American
Richard Philips Feynman) once said that he had no idea about how Einstein had
thought of General Relativity. It was one of the greatest masterpieces in
THOUGHT history.Albert was smart! Very smart indeed!I [it's very
embarassing talking (or speaking) about myself now] have recently taken a Master
in Nuclear Physics and I am unemployed, looking for a job. I was thinking about
bouncing. At 5'6" 130lbs I think it might work! Angelo-I
think Ron Lyle had holes in his game too. The way he lost to Gerry Cooney and
Lynn"Joe Louis, who" Ball was pretty embarassing. Ali' put "morally" him away
with one punch, after all! I don't think he would have knocked Frazier
senseless. Nobody couldn't. Frazier would have NEVER lost with his ass on the
canvas. Maybe Lyle would have stopped him like Foreman did in Kingston, but
never knocked him out. |

know that much about astronomy. I know the basics and I read a couple of
divulgation books, that's all ! Physicsis a huge, morally endless Science
and everyone usually is specialized in one or two fields. Actually every field
is huge itself.|
|7/4/05 06:15:59 AM|Massimo |Roma||4||||10|Noam-If Frazier had Ali's
management, he might have a few more losses in his record and a worse health
today as well. Very honestly speaking, Frazier never proved he could take a
really HARD punch (but not many fighters actually could). I think he had a top
heavyweight chin, but not in the same league as people like Ali', Chuvalo,
Quarry, Holmes and maybe even Peralta. Even Ron Stander stunned him. I think he
would have beaten people like Terrell and Patterson and that his huge heart
would have allowed him to beat the big punchers sometimes but not always. So, if
he had fought (or fought) all the big punchers of his generation like Ali' did
he probably would have a couple more losses in his record.If Ali' had
Frazier's managent I don't think they would have allowed him to fight after
Manilla. And they would have been right! |

Lyle was able to take punches and knockdowns and fight back. Look at his fights
with Foreman and Shavers. If he opened up on Frazier early in the fight, which
I think he would have, we could have another Kingston fiasco. Speaking of
which, I don't know if we've talked Cooney-Frazier, but that's another
interesting matchup---Cooney was tall and threw punches with leverage and power.
No, he wasn't Foreman, but he might not have to be to take out Frazier.|

don't think the relativity is hard to understand, either general or special.
Now to be able to prove that they work, that is hard with all of the math, in
both cases, at least not for someone who doesn't have a lot of math
background.The concepts themselves can be explained as long as I don't
have to do the math, which I don't have to do as I am just an amateur astronomer
who likely will not ever have a degree in the field.I do understand the
concepts of gravity can bend time, that is why the planet Mercury was not
keeping to its postional schedule according to Newton's theory because it is so
