Hi Aurino,

>>>H: Okay, but why are certain laws derivable from your model (the 'prima facie' physics) while others, the more fundamental, are not (particle gauge theories)? A: Here you are putting the cart before the horse. Let's analyze the problem from a purely logical perspective. Dick says there are some problems with modern physics. He could be right or wrong, but before deciding whether he's right or wrong let's think about how we should approach the issue in the first place. The logic is simple enough: follow Dick's thinking and look for logical or mathematical errors. If you find a logical error, you can dismiss him right away and go back to convincing Alex that communism sucks. If you can't find logical errors then you can't say he is wrong, and the only thing remaining to be discussed is what it all means.I don't know if this will make any difference. Considering the past, it probably won't, in which case I'll go back to seclusion and watch the nonsense from a distance. If it does bear fruit then I'll look forward to follow up.
