of tilting and strawmen Please forgive. That I find my self compelled to seek good conversation does not mean I know not mark of impolite. I simply and humbly ask only pleas of safe haven in verse hostile takeover. I will remember and trust in the spirit of Cecil that holds moderation by higher standard. > [@deleted](#): > > [QUOTE=Exapno Mapcase] > **rwjefferson,** I’m just curious, because I spend more time studying language than physics and I’m normally good at these nuances, what your first language is. Please forgive. I hope my cryptic response finally reaches you. It seems I find my self so often delayed and diverted. Silly monkeys. Do you also find difficulty in translation one by another? So often it seems even the best words I can find do not always perfectly convey my true intent. Yet that seems to be both mark and cloak of Words. I find Words are always best understood as but image of spirit; no matter even by Authority. Really. My first language is heartland american. My first tongue is in the spirit. Do you know gibberish? A good answer does not require study of physics or even moderate intellect. A good answer is found only by common sense and simple courtesy and open mind. [/quote] [QUOTE=tomndebb] An acceptable answer will be written in prose. Unacceptable answers will be cause to close this thread. [/QUOTE] Thus answers in verse why and how poetry warrants deletion and suspension. Is it politically correct to discriminate against poets? Is it even legal? As often as not, I find my tongue as handicap and religion. As often as not, I find my tongue censored and banned by those that want simply not even hear; no matter even by truth. If even and still you might find you must, please feel free to continue by tradition. Yet pleas and again I simply ask forgive. Poets and gibbers have delicate feelings too. I expect better by moderation and administration. [QUOTE=tomndebb] > [@](#): > > The water going over the lip of a water fall is just like space itself falling into a black hole. Hamilton also described [black holes] as places where space is falling faster than light. I think of a black hole as rather like a waterfall, except it’s not a fall of water but rather a fall of space. In addition, I seek some indication that you have a clue to the meaning of the statements of the physicists you have quoted. [/quote] Please forgive. I simply and gladly answered in verse all due respect warranted by all such flatland strawmen. > [@rwjefferson](#): > > As depicted, the Equivalent state and Relative vector and dimension of Niagara Black Hole Mass Falls is Grossly Inaccurate. Velocity in verse Viscosity is off by Spacetime Constant. Please feel free to offer even a clue which words might depart simple understanding. Currently known states of energy in verse mass range near zero as bose.einstein.condensate to calculations of infinite as space.time.energy. The state of Niagara Water is somewhere in between. Authority predicts [10 and](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-theory) even [11 vectors](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract) by quantum spacetime. Viscosity by state as water is greater than viscosity by air is greater than viscosity by plasma is greater than viscosity by quantum space. Observation of pioneer course diversion is consistent with cosmic breeze of relative viscosity in verse [hubble constant by speed of light.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_anomaly#Initial_indications) Niagara falling at 9.8 m/s2 is in verse long way and time before exceeding speed of ducky light waves. Does black drainhole mass lead to a theory of everything? Are pioneer and voyager spacecraft dragged by “anomalous” relative quantum viscous cosmic wind? Please forgive. I will not disagree that all, including greater majority of moderators and teeming masses and even Authority, might just and simply still be somewhat ignorant. Yet that compels not reason to doubt that matter is simply a state of energy in verse mass by spacetime constant. That compels not reason to doubt that force even as gravity is still acceleration in verse fluent pressure differential. newton.bernoulli.einstein.al.gebra.fluxion I will trust in the spirit of reason in verse observation. Long live in the spirit of press and Cecil. Thus still and again and even now, I simply seek good conversation even reasoned debate. I challenge \*\*tomndeb et al \*\* to even better answer. **What is gravity really? Take III** Is gravity really dark warp in turn spacetime fabric? Is gravity simply relative flow of quantum space? Please forgive rwj mass sucks in verse energy blows [gravity in verse levity](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=GNC&q=vertical+wind+tunnels&btnG=Search) ---

Okay, I actually read that whole thing and I have two questions: Which moderator insulted you and what was the insult? ---

I had something in mind about “several trips through Babelfish” and “$10 words” but then my brain said something about an error reading disk in drive A: and asked if I wanted to Abort, Retry, or Fail. ---

I think the problem lies in trying to convey scientific concepts through the medium of poetry rather than a systematic discrimination against poets. I’ve got nothing against poetry but it would seem to be deficient in the task of conveying scientific concepts. Not the most precise of ways to convey a theory. Like trying explain the theory of relativity through the medium of dance. There’s nothing wrong with dance per se, but is it really the best medium to use in this situation? ---

**Moderator Warning** **rwjefferson** , I see no “insult” by a moderator in what you have quoted in the OP. Most of your post is not a complaint about moderation, but an attempt to open a debate in the wrong forum. You have been warned previously about posting this kind of nonsense in ATMB (and in other forums). Your continued posting privileges will be under discussion. Colibri Moderator
