Key Australian Government Advisor Hands Down Final Report on Climate Change
Posted by jennifer, October 1st, 2008 - under News.

The Australian Government’s climate change adviser, Professor Ross Garnaut, says a global agreement must be reached to successfully reduce the world’s carbon emissions and has urged action without delay. Indeed Professor Garnaut went so far as to suggest in a televised address that, “On a balance of probabilities, the failure of our generation on climate change mitigation would lead to consequences that would haunt humanity until the end of time.”
On the issue of the need for a worldwide response Professor Garnaut suggested:
1. An International Adaptation Assistance Commitment would provide new adaptation assistance to developing countries that join the mitigation effort
2. Early sectoral agreements would seek to ensure that the main trade-exposed, emissions-intensive industries face comparable carbon prices across the world, including metals and international civil aviation and shipping
3. A World Trade Organisation (WTO) agreement is required to support international mitigation agreements and to establish rules for trade measures against countries thought to be doing too little on mitigation
On the issue of an Australian emissions trading scheme, the Professor suggested:
1. The Establishment of an independent carbon bank with all the necessary powers to oversee the long-term stability of the scheme
2. Implementation of a transition period from 2010 to the conclusion of the Kyoto period (end 2012) involving fixed price permits
3. Credits to trade-exposed, emissions-intensive industries to address the failure of our trading partners to adopt similar policies
4. No permits to be freely allocated
5. Scheme coverage that is as broad as possible
Such a trading scheme would be very different to the European Model where I understand credits have been freely allocated and petrol, for example, is exempt.
Professor Garnaut has accepted the science of climate change as explained by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and sections of his earlier reports read like oversimplified versions of the IPCC reports.
Professor Garnaut is close to Australia’s Rudd Labor Government and this final report is likely to reflect Australian government thinking on this issue. The Australian Prime Minister, Kelvin Rudd, and his Climate Change Minister, Penny Wong, have both used climate change as a vehicle for self promotion nationally and internationally and are deeply committed to the idea of a climate crisis.
The Garnaut Climate Change Review was commissioned by Australia’s Commonwealth, state and territory governments to examine the impacts, challenges and opportunities of climate change for Australia. A Draft Report was released on 4 July 2008. The Supplementary Draft Report Targets and trajectories was released on 5 September 2008. The Final Report was released yesterday on 30 September 2008. All documents can be downloaded from the Garnaut Review website.
Once you get over the fantasy that there is a light-speed limit than you notice that its being broken all the time.
That last link was from 2002. But here’s another one from 2007. But its the same old story. Its like they always pretend its the first time they’ve heard of it. When evidence has come in for decades and its all pretty old hat.
In 2020 no doubt they’ll be still breaking light-speed in the lab and still getting the same reaction.
So no its rubbish to think that you will be promoted as some genius if you break lightspeed because people do it all the time and its no big deal.

SJT: “You get used to it after a while.”
I’m sure I will if i continue to be bothered with it.
His remarks on the physics world article does give some insight into his faulty thinking on the issue. He seems to make the mistake that many beginning students of physics make and that is to assume the theory of relativity states that the speed of light is invariant ithroughout all media. It isn’t. If it was prisms, telescopes etc. would not work at all.
Right so another excuse. There was supposed to be a light speed limit.
Where is the evidence for it? Its been broken and that ought to be the end of the matter.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This goes back many decades. Whenever information comes in that light-speed has been beaten its simply wished away through bigotry and stupidity.
Here is an example of the anal-retentive curse of the lone paradigm at work:
“In astronomy, superluminal motion is the apparently faster-than-light motion seen in some radio galaxies, quasars and recently also in some galactic sources called microquasars. All of these sources are thought to contain a black hole, responsible for the ejection of mass at high velocities.”
Now either thats YET MORE EVIDENCE in a mountainload of it, against none in favour, that the light-speed limit is not there…
… Or its evidence that the these objects are much closer than modern astronomy would imagine. But you see both these conclusions are heresies maintained by idiots.
So they have to find a way around the evidence that maintains both aspects of the dumb priesthood intact. Notice that this sort of stupidity goes back at least as far as the 70’s.
“When first observed in the early 1970s, superluminal motion was taken to be a piece of evidence against quasars having cosmological distances. Although a few astrophysicists still argue for this view, most believe that apparent velocities greater than the velocity of light are optical illusions and involve no physics incompatible with the theory of special relativity.”
The objects weren’t closer. The lightspeed wasn’t beaten. You see it was all an optical illusion.
This is pretty much always the approach. And yet they have no evidence for a light-speed limit in the first place. And never did.
“He seems to make the mistake that many beginning students of physics make and that is to assume the theory of relativity states that the speed of light is invariant ithroughout all media.”
No I never made any sort of mistake like this. You are just being an idiot fella.
Graeme: “No I never made any sort of mistake like this.”
Yes you do. Try doing at least a 100 level physics course before you go around insulting people who work or have worked in the field.
No you are lying. I didn’t make a mistake of that nature. It was a moronic comment by you. Since the link was about light moving FASTER than the falsely alleged maximum universal velocity and not slower.
So your argument was moronic. And you are just an idiot.
Now where is your argument for a universal maximum velocity.
You are not real smart are you Jan.
You are just an idiot fella.
So you are an argument-free-zone than Jan!!! Let us have that evidence for this here light-speed limit. Broken routinely in the lab. Broken in big bang theory, in the supposed calculations of mainstream astrologers calculating the expansion of the universe…
Where was the evidence for this limit in the first place. Dummy.
Graene and Jan,
stop arguing and read Stephen J. Crother’s analysis just posted http://www.thunderbolts.info/thunderblogs/guest.htm.
You may want to refute Crothers’ argument? Have fun.
Tell youi what Louis when Crtohers builds his first faster than light ship I’ll sit up and listen to him. Until then I don’t think I’ll bother.
You are just being an idiot Jan. There is no reason to assume a universal speed limit in the first place.
Jan,
is this because of the association with the thunderbolts site, or because of cognitive dissonance.
Graeme I think the universal speed limit came about as a result of Einsteins work and is not some arbitrary assumption. I think Einstein’s maths meant that to accelerate something to greater than the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy. Einstein never assumed it was a ’speed limit’ I believe he even commented on the possible existence of “tachyons” that may exclusively travel faster than the speed of light (but not slower).
After three decades of continual increase, the mean Earth temperature has been decreasing steadily since 2002, as precise satellite measurements show. World climate is a regular quasi-periodic phenomenon (driven by solar activity with a period of 70 – 80 years) that lags the mean Earth rotational velocity by 6 years. Because of this regularity, it can be stated with absolute certainty that the mean Earth temperature will continue to decrease until 2040.
The following description of a new, super-Einsteinian theory of gravitation explains why this is so [see Section e)].
Extending Physics to the Sub-Fermionic/Bosonic Particle Level Yields a New and Powerful Theory of Gravitation.

Abstract: Extending physics to the subphotonic particle level yields a new theory of gravitation that not only covers the well-known Einstein effects but also points out a number of post-Einstein-effects that show up in recent geo- and astrophysical observations. The new theory is based on quantum mechanics and is free of the problem of the intolerably high vacuum energy density that plagues General Relativity.
The currently favoured gravitational theory, the General Theory of Relativity (GR) of Einstein, is pre-quantum-mechanics, purely geometric, and deviates from reality by at least 41 orders of magnitude (see Weinberg, S.: Rev. Mod. Phys. Vol. 61, 1989, p. 1). Definite proof of the fallacy of GR is provided by the Casimir experiment in which a vacuum energy density of 0.03 J/m³ has been measured. With this energy density, which is more than 8 orders of magnitude higher than the mean density of the rest energy of the visible matter content of the universe, GR gives a universe age that is three orders of magnitude smaller than the age of the Earth! The measured vacuum energy density is higher than the maximum value of approx. 4 eV/mm³ allowed by GR (see Overduin and Priester, Naturwissenschaften 2001, p. 229) by a factor of 50 000 000! The PSR 1913+16 binary system is unsuitable for validating Einsteinian gravitational waves since a mere acceleration of this sytem of 0.01 mm/sec² completely contaminates the time sequence of the pulse train received from that system.
As a logical consequence, GR must be discarded and replaced by a theory of gravitation that is in line with modern particle interaction theory and is in good agreement with experiment. The author has developed such a new theory. This theory, which is based on quantum mechanics and on two plausible post-university-teaching assumptions, not only covers the well-known Einstein effects but also points out a number of post-Einstein-effects that show up in recent geo- and astrophysical observations. The new theory is based on quantum mechanics and is free of the problem of the intolerably high vacuum energy density that plagues General Relativity.
The first assumption is founded on the fact that in the documented particle accelerator experiments, all particles have displayed a dynamic behaviour identical to that of equal-energy electromagnetic radiation enclosed in a vessel with perfectly reflecting walls. Hence, not only photons but all elementary particles must – with high probability – be of an electromagnetic nature. They can be represented by non-radiating oscillating multipole fields carrying energy and angular momentum suitably combined with electrostatic fields. This paradigm reduces Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity to an afternoon exercise for any physics student, and makes that exotic theory understandable for everybody.
Every force field requires a carrier, either in the form of a substrate or a mediating particle. Generations of electrodynamicists have disregarded this simple wisdom. It is here assumed (second assumption) that electromagnetic fields are carried by a dense sea of polarisable and magnetisable subphotonic particles of extremely low mass called “seaons”. (Because of Einstein’s abstract way of deriving Special Relativity, many physicists think that physical theory does not allow the existence of a carrier medium and a preferred frame of reference. This is, of course, not true. The microwave background radiation shows that a preferred reference frame does exist, and, as every electrodynamicist knows, in an electromagnetic world there is no fundamental difference between an ideal dielectric medium with its distinct frame of reference and the vacuum.) This seaon sea fills the complete universe and is presently expanding from its initial state of infinite particle density at the time of the big bang. The gaskinetic particle motion within the Sun on the one hand, and the dynamics of galaxy clusters and superclusters on the other, yield a seaon mass of some 10**(-33) neutron masses.
The quantum-mechanical interaction of the seaons with the electromagnetic field of a material particle of mass m1 results in a spherically symmetric increase of the local seaon particle number density and, as a consequence, in a spherically symmetric reduction of the local speed of light of the form c(r) / cinfinity = 1 – G m1 / (c²r). (Here c is the distance travelled by light in one unit of local time). Because of the gradient in c, a second material particle of mass m2 and electromagnetic energy m2c² placed in the c-field of the first particle experiences the well-known electromagnetic gradient force F = (m2c²) grad c / c = G m1 m2 / r².
The new gravitational theory is called Seaon Theory (ST). Because it is based on quantum mechanics and not on geometry, ST displays a number of post-Einstein-effects that are not covered by GR. These post-Einstein-effects are:
a) The slow secular changes of almost all physical quantities
As a result of the steady decrease of the particle number density in the expanding seaon sea, the vacuum electromagnetic properties, the speed of light, the gravitational “constant” and other physical quantities change slowly with time. This post-Einstein-effect explains the slow (secular) increase of the orbital radii of all planets, the warm paleo-climates of Earth and Mars, the slow decrease of the pressure within the celestial bodies, the slow increase of the radius of the Earth, the slow decrease of the rotational velocity of the Earth, the slow decrease of the ratio of continental to oceanic crust area and the secular fall of the sea level of the oceans, and also explains why the oldest stars seem to be much older than the universe.
b) The extremely small but finite dependence of the gravitational force on the relative velocity of two gravitationally interacting bodies. This quantum mechanical post-Einstein-effect explains the large deficit of solar neutrinos, the heating of the coronal and the intergalactic gas to millions and hundreds of millions of degrees, respectively, as well as the heat surplus of Jupiter and Saturn. This interaction energy is extracted from the almost unlimited enrgy reservoir of the seaon sea that constitutes the vacuum.
c) The transition of the gravitational force from the inverse square law to a 1/r variation at galactic and supergalactic distances. This post-Einstein-effect that results from the quantum mechanical interaction in an expanding substrate with a time-varying source strength, considerably alleviates the dark matter problem.
d) The gravitational deactivation of matter in superdense, supermassive bodies as a result of the conversion of electromagnetic rest energy into electromagnetic kinetic energy during the free fall of a particle.
According to the new theory, a particle in free fall towards a body gains kinetic energy at the expense of its rest energy mc². (In a purely electromagnetic world, the energy form “gravitational energy” has no real existence.) As the particle falls, its rest mass and, as a consequence, its gravitational source strength are decreasing steadily. When a supermassive gas cloud of mass M collapses to a spinning superdense body of radius R most of its original gravitational source strength is lost. (The relative gravitational deactivation is given by GM/c²R, approximately.) Hence, the supermassive bodies located at the center of every galaxy contain several orders of magnitude more matter than is indicated by their gravitational field. Because of their high degree of gravitational deactivation, their remaining gravitational source strength is particularly sensitive to velocity changes.
e) The gravitational reactivation of matter and the generation of quantum mechanical, longitudinal gravitational waves (quantum mechanical wave function waves) during the expansion or explosion of a superdense, supermassive body; the propagation of this new form of gravitational waves and the action of these waves on the celestial bodies through which they pass.
As the supermassive bodies located at the center of a galaxy move about each other in a quasi regular manner, their velocities and, consequently, their gravitational source strengths are constantly changing in a quasi periodic and aperiodic manner. When such a body changes its gravitational source strength, it emits a quantum mechanical wave function wave that spreads out radially in all directions and carries with it small changes (in the ppb range at 10 kpc distance) in the local particle density of the seaon sea (the vacuum). Since the local electromagnetic properties of the vacuum and the local speed of light depend directly on the local seaon particle density, these physical quantities also change slightly (in the ppb range) within the wave.
When such a vacuum density wave generated at the center of the Galaxy reaches the solar system and passes through the Sun and the Earth, it induces a large number of correlated small-amplitude physical changes in these celestial bodies. In particular, when such a wave passes through the Earth, the atomic Bohr radius and the radius, circumference, rotational velocity, rotational axis angles and non-tidal gravitational acceleration of the Earth change in the ppb range. As a result of the circumference changes, earthquakes are triggered at the tectonic plate boundaries. (These gravitational waves also excite the rigid and elastic body modes of the Earth.)
These vacuum density waves, which carry with them small changes in the electromagnetic properties of the vacuum, occur in an extremely large period range from minutes to millennia.
On the Sun, these vacuum waves modulate the intensity of the thermonuclear energy conversion process within the core, and this has its effect on all physical quantities of the Sun (this is called solar activity). This in turn has its influences on the Earth and the other planets. In particular, the solar wind and the solar magnetic field strength are modulated which results in large changes in the intensity of the cosmic radiation reaching the Earth. Cosmic rays produce condensation nuclei so that the cloud cover of the atmosphere and the Earth albedo also change as does the world climate which displays a quasi-cyclic behavior with a period of 70 – 80 years.
On the Earth, the steady stream of vacuum density waves produces parts-per-billion changes in a large number of geophysical quantities. The most important quantities are the radius, circumference, rotational velocity, gravitational acceleration, VLBI baseline lengths, and axis orientation angles of the Earth, as well as the orbital elements of all low-earth-orbit satellites. All of these fluctuations have been measured.
Irrefutable evidence for the existence of this new, super-Einsteinian wave type is provided by the extremely close correlation between changes of the mean temperature and fluctuations of the mean rotational velocity of the Earth in the past 150 years. (see Fig. 2.2 of http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/005/Y2787E/y2787e03.htm). Einsteinian theory cannot explain this amazing correlation between two physical quantities that seem to be completely unrelated.
This post-Einstein effect also explains the formation of the multiple rings in ring galaxies, the sudden transitions between the geological strata, as well as the synchronous fluctuation of the solar neutrino flux and the solar wind.
f) The gravitational laser GASER (Gravitational Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation) and the supercritical gravitational chain reaction as a result of the nonlinear gravitational interaction of superdense, supermassive bodies. In the case of two closely spaced superdense bodies, this nonlinear interaction can lead to gravitational instability resulting in the explosion of the two strongly interacting bodies. This quantum mechanical post-Einstein-effect could explain the generation of gamma ray bursts.

“Graeme I think the universal speed limit came about as a result of Einsteins work and is not some arbitrary assumption. I think Einstein’s maths meant that to accelerate something to greater than the speed of light would require an infinite amount of energy.”
No its completely arbitrary. And the tachyon furphy is just a distraction the priesthood comes up with. Its not one of Einsteins. Its simply a roadblock. Its a stupid unscientific roadblock too. Its akin to thinking about fairies at the bottom of the garden that no-one can see.
No-ones ever seen a tachyon. Nor is their evidence for them, nor would there be evidence for them even if they existed.
So no the light-speed limit is in fact arbitrary. There is no reason whatever to believe that this sort of acceleration would take infinite energy. And Einsteins theory isn’t even a theory of relativity. The relativity bit is just in the pre-amble. Its really a doctrine of velocity-absolutism.
One could liken it to a thought experiment where you hold velocity absolute and change all other factors in the equation in order to make a better fit of the data.
Well it seemed to work after a fashion. But this is no way to do science.
I think a bunch of people here are misunderstanding the universal speed limit.
According to Einstein there really is no limit to how fast you can travel through the universe. There is a limit to how fast you appear to be traveling through the universe.
You can go faster and faster to reach any part of the universe in your frame of reference. There is no point where you cannot speed up.
It is only a misunderstanding of the time space dilation equations that leads to these conclusions. As you approach the speed of light, distance shortens in the direction of travel, velocity also increases. This leads to a redefinition of the variables in velocity and distance so the equations change appearance.
From the frame of reference of a spaceship it acceleration would feel exactly the same at any speed and would achieve the same improvement in travel time from it’s own reference frame.
If you want to go to the other side of the universe in 0.1 seconds turn around and come back you can do it under the speed of light. We’ll be a bit older though.
The point is, light, is actually frozen in time. It travels with time. I think of it as a ripple in the either of timespace. The reason that you can’t go the speed of light is simple.
IMHO:
Matter exists in this either as an oscillating standing wave disturbance, in order to oscillate you cannot outrun one axis of your either composition.
Anyway, light is already at infinite speed and it instantly 90 time) crosses the entire universe from its own perspective. Now you can understand how it is not possible for matter to travel light speed. It is also important to know that you actually don’t need to, you can get where you want as fast as you want.
BTW:
I just demonstrated a flaw in the math behind every hockey stick temp graph I am aware of on my blog.

“I think a bunch of people here are misunderstanding the universal speed limit.”
There is no universal speed limit. Nor any evidence for one. So already you are off to a bad start champ.
“According to Einstein there really is no limit to how fast you can travel through the universe. ”
No you are wrong. And you surely must be lying. Einsteins theory said that the speed of light was the ultimate speed limit.
“There is a limit to how fast you appear to be traveling through the universe.”
For fucksakes thats wrong on two counts. Thats wrong in terms of special relativity and in terms of observations.
“You can go faster and faster to reach any part of the universe in your frame of reference.”
Buddy. You don’t even know what a frame of reference means. And there is no frame of reference. Thats all crap. There is only a gods-eye point of view and we call this…… listen up now…. we call this…….. REALITY.
“There is no point where you cannot speed up.”
I agree. But here you contradict special relativity as understood by the priesthood.
“It is only a misunderstanding of the time space dilation equations that leads to these conclusions. As you approach the speed of light, distance shortens in the direction of travel, velocity also increases. This leads to a redefinition of the variables in velocity and distance so the equations change appearance.
Oh I get it. You are bouncing from one foot to another.
There is no time dilation. There never was. There is no evidence for time dilation. And on top of that there is no evidence for TIME except as a derived and secondary concept.
“From the frame of reference of a spaceship it acceleration would feel exactly the same at any speed and would achieve the same improvement in travel time from it’s own reference frame.”
Well yes. But nothing would happen elsewhere. All would be normal and according to classical physics.
There is no reference frame but reality. And exception is with straight velocity since matter is composed of orbiting electrons so we have this effect that mimics what would happen if we were all composed of standing waves.
“If you want to go to the other side of the universe in 0.1 seconds turn around and come back you can do it under the speed of light. We’ll be a bit older though.”
No thats all bullshit. Nice try though. But I cannot help thinking you are probably under the age of 16.
The point is, light, is actually frozen in time. It travels with time. I think of it as a ripple in the either of timespace. The reason that you can’t go the speed of light is simple.

Goodness me. I didn’t wind up collaring the rest of your quote in inverted comments so it looks like I said it.
No you are quite wrong. Light travels at a finite speed. Its not infinite this here speed. Its finite. And its KNOWN. And it travels no faster than that in a vaccumn. But it can be made to travel faster than that under certain conditions that can be reproduced in the lab.
LIGHT…… like all other things…… can travel faster than “the speed of light”.
Gerame Bird,
Light from its own perspective is traveling at an infinite rate. Distance in the direction of travel is compressed until there is no distance left in the universe. I don’ t know your background but the basic equations are available everywhere.
Find the distance compression equation and put a value near c in for v and you can see what happens to d.
This basic misunderstanding of relativity has lead many non-scientists to reject the possibility imagining light speed to be like a physical wall, where in reality if you were walking on a planet traveling together just below light speed, you wouldn’t notice any difference.
Also, the demo’s of ftl phenomina are not related to physical travel but rather to time-space phenomina oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel. Information will not travel faster than light in this either. It is a misunderstanding of the science to say that light will travel faster than light.
Light doesn’t have a perspective. Its just light. And no time is not dilated. You are merely referring back to a failed paradigm. Its the paradigm under dispute. So obviously it does no good to refer back to it.
A paradigm cannot be verified by reference to itself.
Its like me saying that I dispute the bible and you saying something like “But the good book says “disputations of the world of God……….” “
LIght just travels at a known speed. Something like 300 000 kilometres per second.
You don’t have the evidence for anything else. Don’t pretend that you do.
There is no little man travelling on the leading wave and if there was he wouldn’t experience time differently in accordance with his speed. Its logically contradictory to say he would, since all velocities are relative.
I do enjoy a good argument, but you have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding even of high school level general relativity.
If you cannot understand the theory you dispute how can we take you seriously about your own irrational theories.
Best Regards,
The Dummy
So we found out that your argument was in fact NO ARGUMENT and you were just lying.
That leaves us with an argument deficit. Doesn’t it?
YES IT DOES!!!!
So lets go over it again!!!!!
Where is your evidence for a universal speed limit?
Where is your evidence for all these wrong and bizzare assertions that you have been making?
Its not there is it?
You cannot find it?
You are just an idiot mate.
Louis; “is this because of the association with the thunderbolts site, or because of cognitive dissonance.”
No it’s because it’s better discussed on the back porch over a bottle of red and a plate (or two) of cheese and crackers.
My only problem with your posts was your mis-characterization of relativity. I didn’t dispute your ideas, whatever they are.
Have you considered counseling?
I didn’t mischaracterise relativity. You continue to lie about this. I DISPUTED relativity you jerk!!!
You are still lying about this. You haven’t come up with any evidence for the wild conjectures that you are mindlessly parrotting.
“No it’s because it’s better discussed on the back porch over a bottle of red and a plate (or two) of cheese and crackers.”
You can brush it off fella. But the evidence just isn’t there. Thats why you’ve suddenly fallen away in your argumentative ability displayed elsewhere.
This is why you are forced into going about things on a need to know basis.
Its a stupid paradigm this special relativity. Hence you are backing a dead horse. A paradigm at least four decades out of date. If you made arguments in favour of it certain internal inconsistencies would become obvious.
So instead you have hidden under the desk and are now doing things on a need to know basis.
This is cowardly Pompe. You ought to defend this fantasy-paradigm or admit its indefensible.
You are a coward.
Phillip Adams had a fellow on who had discovered how wrong it was. So he then had a believer on a couple of weeks later. The believer didn’t come up with any evidence to defend it beyond saying that it was aesthetically beautiful.
You Pompe haven’t even come up with anything so feeble as THAT.
But it must be understood that its not just Pompe. Its the whole lot of these guys. They defend this without making arguments in favour of it. They only refer back to the theory. They say all sorts of things that are unfalsifiable. But they say many things that are immediately falsifiable without experimentation.
So its a bit like the global warming racket. The main difference is that special relativity was at least a pretty good predictive template that served reasonably well for a time. Whereas the global warming idiocy cannot be used to predict anything. It doesn’t even backtest.
Ok Gerame,
You have convinced me that you are completely off your wagon and quite frightening really. You have referred to me by every name you can think of threatened my physically and all over the fact that you cannot understand a theory you dispute.
I will make one more point to you.
I said,
“There is no point where you cannot speed up.”
You answered.
I agree. But here you contradict special relativity as understood by the priesthood.
This is a mis-characterization of Relativity Theory by you. One of probably a dozen you made.
Really any low level physics course would do you a lot of good.
I suggest you take your meds, calm down get a physics book and read it slowly. After you’re done you can make a much stronger argument for your case. Whatever it is.
You also might get some insight into why your links above aren’t really breaking the speed of light.
Nuts man, really nuts.
Your arguments are without reason and your comments are as misinformed as any I have read on the internet. Quite a feat when you think about it.
It’s always amazing to hear someone believe something so strongly yet have no real knowledge of what they are talking about.
I have been a little mean to you Graeme, kind of like messing with an angry child. So I’ll let you have the last word. You have been good for a few laughs though.
Really you should calm down man. Life is too short and all kinds of politicized beliefs will be forced down our throats whether we like it or not.
