Allen,

Ditto that, my erstwhile co-belligerent. Good to see you fighting the good fight these last several months without either (1) wearying, (2) blinking, or (3) using a spell-checker. :-)

Martin

Hi Paul,

I've been following all the discussions very closely for months, wondering when Regner would make a mistake. It took this long for him to make that misstep -- he's formidable, but not invincible. He wasn't sufficiently well-read in the general relativity literature to avoid the error regarding the effect of a rotating cosmos on a stationary earth. We'll see how that plays out -- I want to see how he reacts to the situation. It can't be fun being lectured by your opponents on something this basic. He's been a gentleman to this point, so I harbor some hope that the dialogue will continue on a collegial level.

Still, I was very surprised that he hadn't encountered the general relativity exposition of the centrifugal force undertaken with the earth at rest. Still, on first principles, one would have thought the error avoidable simply by taking general covariance seriously. Even if one was unaware of why the Schwarzchild solution applied to the local spacetime wouldn't apply, mere cognizance of general covariance should have given Regner pause. This was an uncharacteristic oversight on his part -- he's usually so very careful in applying physics to the question at hand.

Anyway, Paul, you've also been having some good clean fun at the others' expense while I became a fly on the wall, and I've enjoyed reading the resulting exchanges, although you and I do indeed find ourselves, with all due mutual respect, on the opposite sides of most issues.

Martin
