Talk:Cesare Fiorio

message: Fiorio's rally tactics
Someone who has some knowledge of rally should mention Fiorio's contributions to tactics.  I recall that in Greece he made sure the best driver got the cleanest air (and, presumably, that the competitors would drive into fresh billows of dust).  In one Monte Carlo stage, he scheduled a tyre change in the middle of the stage so that the snowy half of the stage would be on snows and the icy half on studded slicks.  He may have popularized using helicopters in close support until that was banned.
If his close reading of the rule books and his team tactics broke any ground, that should be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.252.217.51 (talk) 17:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Herbert Dingle/Archive 3

message: Its a few years since I last looked at Herbert Dingle and SRT 1905, so I have looked around on the internet a bit to see what the general consensus of opinion is. As far as I can tell there seems to a general agreement that time dilation is symmetrical under inertial motion, I include one reference from The Encyclopaedia Brittanica
:http://concise.britannica.com/ebc/article-9072511/time-dilation
:"If the first observer's notion of simultaneity is used, it is found that the second observer's clock runs slower than his by a factor of (1 - v2/c2), where v is the relative velocity of the observers and c equals 300,000 km (186,000 miles) per second—i.e., the speed of light. Similarly, using the second observer's notion of simultaneity, it is found that the first observer's clock runs slower by the same factor. Thus each inertial observer determines that all clocks in motion relative to him run slower than his own clock."
I assume The Encyclopaedia Brittanica is considered a reliable resource, (hopefully at least as reliable as mathpages:-) )
Anyhow, time dilation under inertial motion is now generally considered to be symmetric, as Dingle said, and not asymmetric as McCrea said.
I think this should be included in the article. It is statement of Dingles point of view and a statement of McCreas point of view and a reference from the Encyclopaedia Brittanica agreeing with Dingles point of view.
How can anyone object to that?
:Incidentally, there are a couple of things not mentioned in the article which should be included if it is to reflect his life's work
:Dingle was the author of "The Special Theory of Relativity" (Menthuen, 1940) which was a standard textbook in English and :American Universities in 4 editions well into the 1970's; that is for over 30 years.
:He wrote the section on Relativity in The Encyclopaedia Brittanica in the 1920s
:He was the man chosen by the BBC to give the eulogy on Einstein when he died

replies: text: "is time dilation under inertial motion symmetric or asymmetric?"
the answer requires one word only, no mathematics, no 'Lorentz contraction' no 'relativity of simultaneity', no 'Minkowski formalism', no acceleration, no gravitation, no switch of reference frames, in other words, none of the gibberish routinely used to confuse the issue (see Dingles book for numerous examples of this tactic). And incidentally, this isnt the twins paradox, so why would I post it there? Dingle deliberately avoided the twins paradox, because it gives people the opportunity to cloud the issue with all sorts of irrelevancies. Dingles example is the same as Einsteins in his original 1905 paper. Since all the reliable reference sources I've seen on the internet appear to agree that time dilation under inertial motion is symmetric, it looks like Dingle's view has gradually been accepted "on the quiet" over the last 40-odd years.

message: The current article contains the claim that 
:Dingle's claim about special relativity was never accepted by the mainstream physics community, for which it is no longer an active area of debate.
This italicized line is backed up by a source, which states that: 
On the 100th anniversary of special relativity, we see that the theory has been so thoroughly integrated into the fabric of modern physics that its validity is rarely challenged, except by cranks and crackpots.
I'd say that the repeated deletion of this claim, and it's source, by 217.43.69.32 constitute vandalism.  If this pattern of behavior reoccurs I will request that the IP address 217.43.69.32 be blocked from editing wikipedia.  --Starwed 14:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

The problem is that 2/3 in (two-thirds of an inch) can't be converted to metric by converting both the numerator and the denominator: the latter should stay the same (as it is a ratio, not a measurement). 51 mm divided by 3 would give the correct (approx) 17 mm result.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.66.169.157 (talk) 04:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Hadwiger–Finsler inequality

message: Most results in mathematics are named after mathematicians. "Weizenbock's inequality" is an exception to the rule. It's named after a type of beer (dark wheat beer) -- presumably because it's easy to prove (as in even when you've been drinking, or perhaps right after breakfast, since some German families drink wheat beer in the morning).
Anyway, I think this is sort of funny, but I can't put in the article because I can't cite a source. Can anyone find a citation for the origin of "Weizenbock's inequality"?  DavidCBryant 12:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Weizenbock

message: The article currently says without citation or explanation that the Hadwiger–Finsler inequality is a special case of Pedoe's inequality, which is
:A^2(b^2+c^2-a^2)+B^2(a^2+c^2-b^2)+C^2(a^2+b^2-c^2)\geq 16Ff,
for two triangles with sides and area (a, b, c; f) and (A, B, C; F). For that to be true, there would have to be a class of (A, B, C; F) for which this collapses to the Hadwiger-Finsler inequality, which is
:a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} \geq (a - b)^{2} + (b - c)^{2} + (c - a)^{2} + 4 \sqrt{3} T.
I don't see how this special case assertion could be true. Anyone know? Loraof (talk) 13:40, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: At first glance without checking the details.

Category talk:Canals in Italy

message: I don’t think that the current combination of canals and navigable rivers under the title ‘Canals in Italy’ is working optimally. There are two problems. Firstly readers are likely to be quite confused when they read an article about the Po and see it categorised as a canal. Secondly, not all the canals are navigable in any real sense: the irrigation canals were never even intended to be.
Accordingly, this afternoon (UTC) I plan to be bold and recategorize the rivers here under :Category:Waterways of Italy, and add those canals which our articles say are, or have been, navigable to that category as well. (I think that for the time being, at least, it’s ok to count once-navigable waters as waterways, rather than introducing a separate category for them.)
I’ll also add the main sub-alpine lakes (at least) to :Category:Waterways of Italy.
I hope that seems rational. Do complain and revert if you think it isn’t. 
The rivers currently in this category are:
* Brenta
* Oglio
* Olona
* Po
* Soča
* Tiber
* Ticino
