I don't know as I did not do non-euclidean geometry but I think it means that a light ray does not travel in a straight line although I suspect that begs the...
If you are a massive particle travelling freely in a vacuum far from any other massive object would you experience any force/ acceleration caused by the space...
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points ,which may not be the same as a Euclidean straight line if it isn't in Euclidean space. The analogy...
Great, Gary -- I believe this stuff - You're probably Ok. The only question is :- will I make it to the start of the conveyor belt- once I'm on I'm there for...
So does means that, as we experience acceleration near massive bodies, then our space isn't flat? Dave S ... From: Knutsford SciBAr To: kscibar@yahoogroups.com...
Absolutely! The space is curved by the mass( Energy really) of the massive body like the earth which means if we want to go in a Euclidean straight line we...
We could be glad of global warming shortly. Now , I know that they don't know ,but then nor does anyone else. Note date -- I think they were previously...
Dave, The article is correct in saying that Solar activity influences the climate. I can't find the exact reference now but a letter I wrote recently quoted...
I too read the Independent article with some scepticism as there was little new there that explains the current increase in temperature. There is a well known...
At his excellent presentation on The Holographic Universe last week Dave said that the film used for holography was normal photographic film. I didn't...
Hang on a minute ,Peter The article is not saying that the sun alone is causing global Warming ( although it can) , rather what it is saying is that it looks...
Thanks , Dave, for that explanation , from which I deduce that the films are very similar but holography if you need fine detail needs photographic film with...
Dave the article was written by a journalist not a scientist and I broke my normal rule of commenting on this. I could not make out what he was really saying...
Peter , I'm not arguing that the sun is the cause nor even the prime contributor to past / current GW( although at the end of the day that's where most of the...

Peter, I feel I must come in here to support Dave - otherwise this exchange could go on for ever. For the 3rd time you appear to be jumping to conclusions and...
