      @@Robert-dB With his capacity I'm surprised that the band interfered a great deal. He probably has a number of competing interests, and with his intellect they are likely to have been both numerous and at a high level. Maybe the band wasn't challenging enough and was dropped off the end. I just wish I had the skill set.

      It's not almost frightening, it's is totally scary as hell. It seems to be an affliction that effects more people than ever these days. All these people are also covid denier's, antivaxer's, antimasker's, religious fundamentalists, QAnon supporters, many are racial bigots and holocaust denier's, among other dangerous conspiracy theories. They are an unhinged group of increasingly dangerous people hell bent on denial of reality. This past year has proven how real a threat they really are. It really shouldn't be taken lightly anymore.

      QUESTION: Why does someone with a "youtube degree", aka me, school the likes of PhD Tony and Professor Phil Bell in Lorentz Transforms? Odd no?
      th-cam.com/video/OAhfbtjzi5E/w-d-xo.html PhD Tony "I want to make a couple of points"
      1/. "Lorentz DID NOT develop the Lorentz Transform [to rescue ether from MMX]....the Lorentz Transform was actually originally Woldemar Voigt...[blah blah blah] ON A FACTUAL BASIS"
      " *Lorentz did not adopt this transformation* , as he found in 1904 that only the Lorentz contraction corresponds to the principle of relativity. Since Voigt's transformation preserves the speed of light in all frames, the Michelson-Morley experiment and the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment can not distinguish between the two transformations. *The crucial question is the issue of time dilation. The experimental measurement of time dilation by Ives and Stillwell (1938) and others settled the issue in favor of the Lorentz transformation* ."
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woldemar_Voigt
      And:
      "It is also important that Lorentz and later also Larmor formulated this transformation in two steps. At first an implicit Galilean transformation, and later the expansion into the "fictitious" electromagnetic system with the aid of the Lorentz transformation. *In order to explain the negative result of the Michelson-Morley experiment* , he (1892b)[R 12] introduced the additional hypothesis that also intermolecular forces are affected in a similar way and introduced length contraction in his theory (without proof as he admitted). The same hypothesis was already made by George FitzGerald in 1889 based on Heaviside's work. While length contraction was a real physical effect for Lorentz, he considered the time transformation only as a heuristic working hypothesis and a mathematical stipulation.
      In 1895, Lorentz further elaborated on his theory and introduced the "theorem of corresponding states". This theorem states that a moving observer (relative to the ether) in his "fictitious" field makes the same observations as a resting observers in his "real" field for velocities to first order in v/c. Lorentz showed that the dimensions of electrostatic systems in the ether and a moving frame are connected by this transformation:[R 13]"
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lorentz_transformations
      Phil is absolutely clueless that Lorentz Transforms are embedded in Aether and were used to form Space-Time in Relativity.

      I agree with the sentiment 100%. I would add though, when I was growing up, schoolyard bullies knew not to be schoolyard bullies during specific periods of time. Often they discovered many times, over and over, that there was a force more capable than they could muster, or bring to bear.
      I was that force while in school before I dropped out 2 weeks into my 10th grade year. See it as good or not, and definitely not against the sentiment in the parent comment, but I was a Bully's bully, and I enjoyed every moment of it.

I also try to think out my reasons why I disagree with something, and say things that have some level of weight to them instead of just making fun of people for being stupid because, and for no other reason than, they don’t agree with me. I was bullied in school for years, as were many of my close friends, and am incredibly familiar with how bullies think and act and justify their actions. I have debated people online with the express intention of trying to convince them, or learning from them where I am wrong, and on multiple occasions, I have been wrong in an assertion and apologized online, or been friendly with somebody I disagree with. In school, I was unpopular and easy to make fun of, so the kids got onto me for being different and an easy target, the teachers got onto me for disrupting the class by being quiet and as far in the corner as I could get, and in later years, I latched onto anything that resembled a friend until I had to realize that letting people laugh at you under the guise of hanging out with you wasn’t worth it. By the end, when I was popular in my own group, I still remembered how it felt, and tried never to make anyone in our group, or in any other group feel bad, and carried that over into my regular life. So no. I was not confessing to having been a school bully, and the accusation is not really amusing to me, so please....what is your reasoning?
