Talk:Kabeiroi

message: References I've seen consider the Kabeiroi as mythical beings on a par with Cyclopes and Telchines---non-human beings. The Kabeiroi were described by Hesychius as being Karkinoi: Crab-like beings. I'm going to fix the article accordingly, & provide references. Walter Burkert for example does not mention the theory (that was in earlier versions of this Wiki article) that the Kabeiroi represent a pre-IE human population. On the other hand, Burkert describes the Kabeiroi as "mysterious blacksmith gods" and groups them with Telchines, Cyclopes, Daktyloi, et cetera. Alexander 007 15:11, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Any changes Decius makes will be for the better and there's plenty of room for improvement here. I may have seemed to conflate Kabeiroi with their adepts: I've tweaked that.  How integral was the Samothrace mystery, anyway? The metal-working connection: does it point to the introduction of iron and Indo-European, then, rather than to the introduction of copper/bronze and pre-Indo-European, as I'd understood? My reading is not deep, as one can see. --Wetman 15:46, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I still haven't found a reference that considers it likely that the Kabeiroi were based on an actual pre-IE human population, though that may be an element (worshippers confused with their gods in some sources, perhaps). The Kabeiroi are described as elder inhabitants of various regions, but so are the Cyclops and Telchines. All the supernatural powers attributed to the Kabeiroi ("their wrath if offended no man can placate"---Pausanias; "Macedonians being struck by lightning for disrespecting and entering their sanctuary"---Pausanias) points towards Kabeiroi being similar in essence to Telchines and Cyclops, as Burkert indicates ("Societies of gods").

message: I agree that this article should be merged with the Cabeiri one, as the tag at the tope of the page suggests.

message: It says in the current version of the article that "numerous unpublished texts are still known to exist", with a reference to the Le Monde interview with Christopher Tolkien.

message: I guss a picture of the two-body system would be a good idea?
* "...one mass can be replaced by the reduced mass, if this is compensated by replacing the other mass by the sum of both masses". So we replace  m_1 \to \mu \  and  m_2 \to m_1 + m_2 \  (is my understanding correct?), and the sum of both new masses have been larger then the initial mass of the sistem. It's a blunder!

can u plz mail me its answer to :pbasu41@yahoo.com
I don't think the reduced mass has a velocity in your term! i mean the reduced mass is not a certain amount of mass in a certain point, it is just the certain amount of mass in the mass center point. you may want to argue to find what is the velocity of the mass center..... not the reduced mass. In reduced mass it doesn't matter how far and how are the masses from each other. it only depends on the mass of the separate masses. 
One of the places that we use it is in the radius of the Bohr orbit. you can see we use the reduced mass foe electron and proton in there. When ever you have to know what happens to the system (not the elements) and you are looking forward the mass center you may use the reduced mass.

message: The article writes of an alleged persecution of the Orthodox Romanians in the last decades of the 13th century in the Kingdom of Hungary ("...in 1289, the Kingdom of Hungary forced all nobles (including those in Transylvania) to adhere to the Roman Catholic Church, an act which could have determined the ethnic Romanian potentates to seek out new lands)." Is there any source based on which this statement could be substantiated? Moreover, the Cantacuzino Chronicle (that is the chronicle in which the earliest version of Radu Negru's legend was recorded) clearly refers to "Romanians, Saxons, papists and many others" among the people who followed Radu Negru. Therefore, the retinue of the prince who is claimed to have been persecuted by the Catholics comprised of both Orthodox and Catholic followers.
