The ancient intuition that all matter, all "reality," is energy, that all phenomena, including time and space, are mere crystallizations of mind, is an idea with which few physicists have quarreled since the theory of relativity first called into question the separate identities of energy and matter. today most scientists would agree with the ancient hindus that nothing exists or is destroyed, things merely change shape or form; that matter is insubstantial in origin, a temporary aggregate of he pervasive energy that animates the electron.

My opinion about miller's experiments is the following. ... should the positive result be confirmed, then the special theory of relativity and with it the general theory of relativity, in its current form, would be invalid. experimentum summus judex. only the equivalence of inertia and gravitation would remain, however, they would have to lead to a significantly different theory.

The theory of relativity confers an absolute meaning on a magnitude which in classical theory has only a relative significance: the velocity of light. the velocity of light is to the theory of relativity as the elementary quantum of action is to the quantum theory: it is its absolute core.

If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron's position changes with time, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say 'no'; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say 'no'.
Position Instance Electrons
When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students.
School Math Firsts
But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

But as an adult working in the fashion industry, i struggle with materialism. and i'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. they're beautiful, i enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.

Every body resisted (the slaughterer) in its own fashion, tried to escape and seemed to argue with the creator to its last breath.

I just hope that i can be kind of like the beatles. i really like that kind of model. i like the way that without losing integrity they could change through fashion and not look back at the '60s and vomit when they saw what they'd done.
