You're right.
I'll tell you what i did. I took the equation E=\hbar k^2/2M and divided out k^2 wrongly. Oops. |

These equations are using natural number systems by the way.

You are taking the units of G, M and c^2 far too literal in this case.
Hence why i said ''quantized gravitational charge''. |

Ah, I see it. ( http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=150007 )
Sharma's ideas would probably completely change the world, if they were true. The implications would have had far-reaching effects on power generation and management, space flight, communications systems, etc. But, for some reason, it's not doing anything. In fact, it's worse than that: It does not even seem interested in predicting any findings. E=mc2 is backed up with experimental evidence. Tell Sharma that you can't contradict the findings of experiment evidence with something incapable of generating any evidence, even in principal. You can only contradict evidence with better evidence. So, get to it! |

I can make a list of five errors, three which i would deem ''pretty bad for scientists,'' - and that was all in just this week. Had great fun noting them down though, because everytime someone brings up who is right the most, at least i have their graces to fall back on.

Commanded? Who commanded? Perhaps you misread my polite request.
Specifically I said: "polite request" "Could I also trouble you, when you have a moment" "would it be fair to ask if you understand " "I would love to see a direct quote from a paper" Pretty much the opposite of commanding. Those are genuine polite requests. Or has discussion with other members got your back up so much that you see every post as a personal attack on you and your abilities? I would have thought that anyone with a genuine interest in science would love to engage in a reasoned exchange of ideas in order for both people to better understand the others thoughts and ideas and thus better understand the world around them. Those are not personal attacks but an attempt to directly engage with you on the very subject matter of the threads and the ideas that you yourself brought up. |

This is like watching a penguin telling feathered birds they don't know how to fly.
This is like a turtle telling a giraffe it's neck isn't long enough. This is like a tadpole explaining to a whale what the ocean is really like. |

Your new theme song....Madhouse by Anthrax
White coats to bind me, out of control I live alone inside my mind World of confusion, air filled with noise Who says that my lifes such a crime? Trapped, in this nightmare I wish Id wake As my whole life begins to shake Four walls, surround me An empty gaze I cant find my way out of this maze cause I dont care Fall in, fall out Gone without a doubt, help me I cant take the blame They dont feel the shame Its a madhouse Or so they claim Its a madhouse Oh, am I insane? My fears behind me, what can I do My dreams haunt my sleep at night Oh no, wont learn their lesson, white fills my eyes And only then they see the light |

I cannot do the math, but still I try to teach
It's not about religion, is what I try to preach I admit I'm wrong sometimes, but quickly pedal back Insulting those who prove me wrong, who show me what I lack-- Humility is hard to come by when you're Sing-Sing-Singing in the rain The Master does not have to bow, he does not have to train Of all the faults I've shown since I came here to pretend That what I know is what I know and never will defend With clearly spelled out reason, nor with sensibility, The worst by far is not admitting inability Humility is hard to come by when you're Sing-Sing-Singing in the rain The Master does not have to bow, he does not have to train Each and every poster knows I'm pissing in the wind I act as though I'm Jesus and insist I have not sinned He's never gonna prove it, he's never gonna learn He thinks self-education grants authority unearned I'm Sing-Sing-Singing' in the rain, time to go inside again To skim through Wikipedia, my all-too-trusted friend... |

Singularitarian,
You never addressed my concerns, yet. Can you propose some experiments to demonstrate you are correct, and everyone else, here, is wrong? Can you at least tell us some new and noteworthy findings Sharma's ideas would predict, that mainstream physics would not be able to? What specific implications would your ideas have on technology? (It sounds, to me, like it ought to be a world-changing proposition, but can you fill in the details?) (ETA: Ah, I see they merged the threads. So, ignore the first line of my last post in this thread.) |

... but before you realized that you declared:
1) It was right 2) Something else (which you thought was different but wasn't) was right 3) It was in natural units (which it wasn't) 4) I was "taking the units too seriously" 5) You had been right all along 6) It was just a typo or something ("missed it by a squared"?) Yeah, I've seen oral exams that went kind of like that. The word "thrashing" is appropriate, but only in the intransitive, not the transitive.

And since it is a solution of GM²=h-bar×c, the formula for it is (hbar×c/G)½ ... www.planck.com/postmetric1.htm - Cached - Similar - Here the equation is of the form GM=hbar c - in a different paper, the authors had rearranged the equation, in the form i presented, and they decided to translate it has the gravitationalc quantized charge. |

Your OP seems to be making a scientific claim.
Since scientists like to test their ideas, I figured I would ask how you, or Sharma, intend to get these ideas verified through testing. Without such effort, all you have is mathematics-based philosophy, with no impact on the real world. You disagree? You think the formulas and ideas in the OP do have an impact on the real world? Then prove it! Figure out what unique things they can predict, that conventional physics would not, then propose a test to see if they were on the right track. |

Aside from the fact that you still screwed up the equation, the mass you get from the correct equation, while being uniquely defined, cannot sensibly be thought of as a quantized gravitational charge. Why? Because it's friggin HUGE. It's 2.176x10-8 kg, or roughly 23,900,000,000,000,000,000,000 times the mass of an electron. And electrons aren't even the lightest particle we know of. Quantized gravitational charge? Nope, not even close.

And I think I see where this statement is coming from. You are stating that mass is not conserved, and (via E=mc^2) claiming that therefore energy is not conserved.
Sorry: no one ever said mass was conserved. And you overlook that E=mc^2 is not generically energy, but specifically rest mass energy---so, no, "rest mass energy" is not specifically conserved. Total energy---the sum of rest masses and kinetic energies---is perfectly conserved. This is why I asked for the full equation for solar fusion. The initial state (p+p+p+p) has lots of rest mass energy and minimal kinetic energy. The final state (4He + 2 neutrinos + photons + kinetic energies) has exactly the same total energy, but this is now divided up between rest masses and kinetic energies. |
