Sometimes I don't receive an answer to my request to publish a letter and I don't know how to interpret it. So I've decided to simplify things and not oblige readers to answer. WM

Empiricism vs Formula and Paper Tiger ..., Ukraine ..., Aether-physics..., Next year the Stars...


Re: 'Empiricism vs Formula in Psychoanalysis' and
'Paper Tiger or 'Unrestricted War''(September 99 issue)

I like what you write. I don't understand a single word of it until the last sentence, and then I agree completely. I wish you would put after every sentence the phrase: 'In other words: ...' , else it comes off sounding like you read too much, and like a college professor, don't understand any of it .. instead it's just an image game. I hate words like 'empiricism'. I had a faggy old english teacher that taught 'empiricism'. He wore a suit to class on hot days, and died of AIDS. Obviously he was a dumbass who compensated by becoming an 'educator' .. who knew nothing. I especially liked your article about that Chinese warmonger. I'm glad to know that they are that stupid. It will never occur to any of them just how vicious the American soldier can become. We are indeed a nation of lawless individuals, and we like it that way.

Re: Ukraine

Here's a tip for ya - write about elections in Ukraine. Here are some interesting links on that topic:
http://www.brama.com
http://www.brama.com/news
http://www.elections.com.ua
And also read about it in newspapers on the net or cnn.com, abcnews.go.com and all those.

PS: Ische Polska nje zginjela, is that right? :)

Igor -- how about YOU writing about the topic? From an insider it may be more interesting and you certainly will give food for thought to me and other readers. WM

PS -- Good try, but this is better: "Jeszcze Polska nie zginela."


Re: Aether-physics

I am writing to tell you of a new aether-physics paper, being circulated on the Web by Zhang Chengbin of the People's Republic of China. The work is interesting and original in many ways, and I recommend it to everyone. (Though I as yet have only just skimmed through it myself ...)

It is too large for me to forward to everyone, but if a few individuals wish to receive & archive it (for forwarding to others who request it) -- I can make it available.

Keywords -- wave tubes, faster-than-light, plasmas, auroras, nuclear fusion, quasars, life.
The article is about 40 pages, 168 kilobytes, text only.

Re: Next Year, the Stars!

Whence our 'footsteps' in millennium next?

The 20 known nearby Stars, in order of proximity to our Sun, are:

Alpha Centauri trinary (yellow, yellow & red), 4.3 lightyears
Barnard's star, red dwarf, 5.9 lightyears
Wolf 359, red dwarf, 7.6 lightyears
Lalande 21185, red dwarf, 8.1 lightyears
Sirius binary system, white star & white dwarf, 8.7 lightyears
L726-8 binary system, two (2) red dwarfs, 8.9 lightyears
Ross 154, red dwarf, 9.5 lightyears
Ross 248, red dwarf, 10.3 lightyears
L789-6, red dwarf, 10.8 lightyears
Epsilon Eridani, orange star, 10.8 lightyears
Ross 128, red dwarf, 10.8 lightyears
61 Cygni binary system, two (2) orange stars, 11.1 lightyears
Epsilon Indi, orange star, 11.2 lightyears
Procyon binary system, white star & white dwarf, 11.4 lightyears

Our time-of-flight, one-way [assuming one gravity (10 meters per second squared) acceleration to midpoint, then one gravity deceleration to stellar destination] equals the squareroot of (distance-times-four):

Alpha Centauri -- 4.2 years journey
Barnard's star -- 4.8 years journey
Wolf 359 -- 5.5 years journey
Lalande 21185 -- 5.7 years journey
Sirius -- 5.9 years journey
L726-8 -- 6.0 years journey
Ross 154 -- 6.2 years journey
Ross 248 -- 6.4 years journey
L789-6 -- 6.6 years journey
Epsilon Eridani -- 6.6 years journey
Ross 128 -- 6.6 years journey
61 Cygni -- 6.7 years journey
Epsilon Indi -- 6.7 years journey
Procyon -- 6.8 years journey

Who would like to join me on one-or-more of these expeditions?
