> [@Jetblast](#): > > I have since conclusively proven Jimi was murdered and have been very busy since the original January 2010 thread that annoyingly put my responses in some extended text window that is hard to read… I don’t know why, but this reminds me of the speech from the movie The Caine Mutiny: > Ah, but the strawberries, that’s, that’s where I had them, they laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, with geometric logic, that a duplicate key to the ward room icebox did exist, and I’ve had produced that key if they hadn’t pulled the Caine out of action. I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officer. Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I left anything out, why, just ask me specific questions and I’ll be glad to answer them, one by one. ---

Jimi Hendrix faked his death. He is now working behind the scenes to expose cannibal pedophile Democrats, and will become Trump’s VP when he is reinstated on August 13th. ---

Seriously, @Jetblast, if you’ve “conclusively proven Jimi was murdered”, I’d love to read about it. And follow the legal saga until justice is done. ---

The language of physics is mathematics only if relativity is false. A measurement is only as accurate as the relative space that measurement is taken in, if the same measurement tool is used in a different space, the relativity of the different space also applies to the measurement tool. This argument destroys the concept of mathematics being the ultimate language of physics. ---

I do not feel silly, Language is the only barrier to the communication of my theory, The theory I wrote about how space is displaced by matter is valid. Only the language does not describe the concept well enough to be understood in the popular language of physics. The concept of “displaced space” is better describe in this way- space dose not exist without matter, they are flip sides of the same coin. the fact that matter exists is why space is created around it. The space created by protons is what causes a photon wave to become trapped in that space and is how an electron is created. when the electron is forced out of the space it becomes a wave again. ---

If physics is the study of the natural world and the effects of matter in a 3 dimensional space, then a measurement must be taken to study the effect. If relativity is correct, the instrument used to measure the matter in a 3 dimensional space is also effected by the space the measurement is taken, therefor mathematics is an inferior language when applied towards the study of physics. ---

Do you take a measurement in meters and joules or in prepositions and adverbs? ---

Maybe it’s just because I’ve forgotten older ones, but the pyramid theory in the OP is still one of my favorites. And I remember learning a ton about Sagnac interference and making some fun animations debating an “relativity is wrong” kook. Don’t remember who though, and as we’ve seen, posting links is dangerous, so I won’t even search. Okay, maybe I’ll do a search. 😃 ---
