Talk:Herbert Dingle/Archive 1

message: I twice visited the late Louis Essen FRS, who developed the clock used to fly round the world. He told me the following;
When he read that the two couter-travelling clocks proved Einstein, he Essen wrote in to say the clocks were not accurate enough to justify the claim. Nature refused to publish his comment.
Ivor Catt.  9june06
: That's correct and has been debated in the literature. However, later experiments were sufficiently accurate. 
: Thus almost certainly the claims of this article about that accuracy are erroneous. To be verified! Harald88 22:17, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mc Crea's argument 

message: I remember that Dingle stated that there should be no real time dilation in Einsteinian relativity, but I'm not sure if he really claimed that there will be no time dilation. Where exactly did he state that? 
When we have the exact passage, that should be cited before stating that "he was wrong", so that the readers may know about what he was wrong when they read that sentence. Harald88 22:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Harald: I read an article by Herbert Dingle which was published in Wireless World in the late 1970s after being rejected by the mainstream.  He did not claim that there was no time dilation, he knew muon decay rates slow down at high speed, and that time dilation is predicted by aetherial work such as the Lorentz contraction of 1893.  He wasn't trying to disprove facts, and his article was merely discrediting the first postulate of relativity.  Nigel 172.203.34.221 08:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dingle's claim 

message: Some time ago I read the whole (unconcluded) debate between Dingle and McCrea, but I don't recall talk about "Newtonian ideas", nor do I remember reading the claim by one of his critics that such ideas are invalid. Thus I challenge the editor who put that there to back it up -or someone else who knows. Harald88 21:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Four-wheel drive in Formula One

message: There’s something strange with the Lotus 63 pic in this article. A user, who declares to be 24 years old on his user page, declares also to be the author of a pic that has been taken in 1969… RX-Guru 18:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not impossible that the picture was taken in a historic race during the last 10 years, but it is extremely unlikely! Spiderlounge 21:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The pic is taken in typical 1960–1970s style, due to mainly lack of high quality tele lenses by then. I think it is a scan from a book or mag, especially as no higher res is available. And in historic races nowadays the drivers usually wear modern overalls and helmets. By the way, I did about 95% of the part called "Allradantrieb im Autosport" in the 4WD article of the German Wiki. Only a couple of days ago I’ve found this article here. I also included the pic there but removed it yesterday again, due to the unclear situation of its copyright. Here one can find a "safe pic" of the Lotus 63 4WD (driven by Mario Andretti) that has been taken in 1969 and uploaded recently by a friend of mine. RX-Guru 10:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Just what is this supposed to mean: "Paranormal advocates believe that ..." - could we have at least an unreliable source for this statement; and who are the "skeptics" referred to? - The article is set up as a battle-ground between extreme and unintelligible positions, rather than trying to just be informative - Anyway, the original planchettes were heart-shaped, and used only for automatic writing, with no association to the "ouija boards". Also, ideas about the operation of these instruments were never so unequivocal, between "believers" and "sceptics" as the writer of this article would assert. Another case of bad-tempered juveniles and science-groupies on WP trying to write articles about things of which they have no substantial knowledge.
:How do you know that the authors are bad-tempered juveniles and science-groupies? You don't cite any sources to back up that claim. Snark aside, you say that the original planchettes were heart-shaped, and used only for automatic writing, with no association to the "ouija boards" but you do not cite any sources for that claim either. Seems like you are adding the same sort of information that you call rubbish. My feeling is that this information from you and the other authors is better than nothing and that weak writing will improve over time when people who care take the time. If you don't want a weak article to become a battleground then don't throw the first stone. Add some value and move on. Cutelyaware (talk) 09:05, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Moving the "psychology of self" information 

message: Mysticism & Rabindranath Tagore
Origin of poem is the heart of poet. The poet is a human. Human mind is a mysterious place. Where build up creative theme; it's fallen and pair of theme. The word mysticism means haze and semi meaning or religion. This haze & semi ness creates a new creativity in the heart of poem reader mind. Poem is the cable to influence the theme to reader heart & migration a new theme which was realize poet & written on his poem. So it can say poet hart & mysticism are alike. 
Rabindranath is a poet. The mysticism influence is very much seen in tagore poem. At the beginning of togore poem Jol pore pata nore ( it's raining so leave dancing ) was seen nature of togore. But there not only leave dancing by rain. It was also dancing of togore heart. 
In the youth of poet called MANUSHI as a symbol of his great love. Here MANUSHI is not only his beloved; she is also his best companion adviser & almighty. So from far distance when he sees her he falls on deep love. But when he stands on face to face then he lay down on her leg. Another place poet gift to god show as a gift from a simple lover. So he said……
Debotare jaha dite pai 
Tai dai piya re 
Piya re jaha dite pai 
Tai dai debotare 
Ar pabo kotha…….
(What I wish to gift to god
That I gift to beloved 
What I wish to gift to beloved 
That I gift to god
Where I get more…)
On the other stage of his poem he feel Manoshi as a Jibondebota (Lord of luck & director of life) to show great honor poet show down his head to him. But not long time poet stays there. He gets up. He walks up together on his Balaka as a speedy bird and at the last stage of his poem he knows himself at true light of god. He say's …
Rupnarayon ar kule jege uthilam 
Janilam a jibon shopno noy
Roktar akkhor a dhakilam apnar Rup. 
(Woke up in god shadow 
Realize that life is not dream 
Found myself at the word of blood.)''
Here Rupnayon is not only god. He is more then goddess. It is the image what is true, strong & static. Like the stone mirror poet see his self motive. At simple word in family, society & nature find himself what is create by god & god mix up in them. Tagore heart bear all of them though here God, poet, nature, world come in a row & mix all together. So it can say Tagore & Mysticism is synonyms.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.191.33.181 (talk) 07:50, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
