Re: Physical π : Pi's relationship to 4
That makes sense. But the problem is that M.M. is talking about physics, not about maths. That is why I still think these experiments are useful. To decide if we are "zigzagging" or not when we are running in circles. :) Edit: A simple experiment would be the following. It is similar but s...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
I am not trying to be critical or a besserwisser, but it occurred to me that by arguing there are flaws in practically all the currently accepted models and paradigms in physics (which of course there are and always will be), one ends up giving credence to a number of highly questionable "real...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
I haven't read all posts thoroughly and sorry to interrupt your serious business here, but... Does pi=4 in kinematics mean that the object in a circle with a specific radius, would travel 8r(radius) to get back to the beginning point? If that is true, logically that would mean that the same object ...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
I do understand why it's relevant. I just get a bit frustrated because there seems to be this obsessive focus on this one tiny aspect of his work. Here is a guy who has offered elegant and compelling solutions to the mysteries of dark matter, superconductivity, wave-particle duality, quantum entang...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
You are exactly right. Thanks for the insight. Provided that at the corners the object is somehow able to make the 90° turn without reducing its speed.

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
I feel like going in circles :) I am OK to disagree but we should at least agree what claims Miles Mathis is making, who still is the subject of this topic. And what claims he is not making. Are you saying he is claiming that surveyor's wheels are calculating wrong distances on straight paths? Can ...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
Contrary to what both Flabbergasted and Vexman are saying, what Miles Mathis is saying is that surveyor's wheels work fine for measuring straight lines. But he insists that they are not useful to measure running tracks. No doubt many will answer me, “The surveyor's wheel doesn't fail, since what a s...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
Well, the length of curve can be measured by measuring wheel, that is a legitimate option - however such measuring wheel should be made and calibrated considering that while in motion, a point on the boundary of such measuring wheel travels 8 times its radius while in spin for 1 full rotation. That...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
Actually, I don't feel I have to acknowledge that assumption. By the way, I already argued that if there is an discrepancy between prediction and reality, it isn't in ballistics. For those people that are like me still struggling to understand, here is an analogy that could be useful. I am not sure ...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
At the moment I prefer to look at the real world. If in certain fields the outcomes are different than the predictions, the math behind them should be reviewed. I am not going to make the assumption that most people are making "if there was something wrong with the predictions, people would alr...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
I think if you took your time, you would have not much trouble proving these equations. From what I remember it is simple math. The motion of the object being simulated is split into its horizontal and vertical component and each is analysed independently. I think the problems that Mathis is talking...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
Vexman, thanks for finding that in Wikipedia. It is not exactly what Mathis wrote but it goes in the same direction. But for all I know Werner Von Braun could be just an actor in a movie. That is why I asked if there are no examples to be found in other fields, that we can actually verify. I meant ...

Re: Discussing Miles W. Mathis
Interesting: 8 years after he posted his paper on pi, you can see a simple experiment that apparently verifies his conclusions (pi=4 when motion is involved) that you can replicate. His arguments in the accompanying article give credibility to both the American and Russian space programs and to quan...
