Talk:Action at a distance

message: Quote:
This term was used most often with early theories of gravity and electromagnetism to describe how an object could "know" the mass (in the case of gravity) or charge (in electromagnetism) of another distant object.
This seems like an abstract way of describing the real problem, which is how particles, mass, can cause a force on another particle without ever coming into physical contact, and vice versa. The intro is pretty important to the reader... --Nabo0o (talk) 00:26, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bad intro? 

message: The last paragraph of electromagnetism is ambiguous.
:"Various proofs, beginning with that of Dirac have shown that direct interaction theories (under reasonable assumptions) do not admit Lagrangian or Hamiltonian formulations (these are the so-called No Interaction Theorems). Consequently, the Fokker-Tetrode action is mainly of historic interest. Still, attempts to recapture action at a distance without a field, which is often difficult to quantize, lead directly to the development of the quantum electrodynamics of Feynman and Schwinger."
I believe a reference or two are needed here on the various proofs, and the sentence has to be more precise. The field is still live and active, see for example a not that historic article:  Hoyle, F., & Narkilar, J. V. (1995). Cosmolgy and action at a distance electrodynamics. Rev. Modern Phys., 67(1), 113.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BahramH (talk • contribs) 06:42, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:List of pacifist organisations

message: A pacifist organisation, surely, is one which is opposed to all war and all aggression, as a matter of policy.
I've already removed CND from the list of orgs given as examples, since it's not pacifist.  I'm flagging both Pugwash and Greenpeace as dubious since 
a)  Pugwash's founder worked on the Manhattan Project and states his reason for leaving was that it became apparent [to him] that Germany would not, after all, develop atomic weapons and therefore the project became unnecessary.  Evidently he didn't oppose WW2 so much that he refused to work on it upto that point
b)  Similarly, I doubt Greenpeace has a blanket opposition to the use of military force either.

message: "At nearly every inferior conjunction there is a triple conjunction between Mercury and Venus. ... Triple conjunctions between Mercury and Venus are also possible, if Mercury and Venus are at the same time in inferior conjunction.  This event is much rarer ..."
A triple conjunction at inferior conjunction is much rarer than a triple conjunction at inferior conjunction?  This doesn't make sense.  I'll fix it when I've worked out what it should say. Occultations (talk) 14:08, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

message: "If Mars is in conjunction with the Sun, there is often a triple conjunction between Mars and Mercury or between Mars and Venus."  I don't believe this.  The most that can happen is a double conjunction.
"Triple conjunctions between the inferior planets Mercury and Venus and the superior planets ... take place when these objects are at the same time in conjunction to sun while Mercury or Venus are at inferior conjunction."  I don't believe any of this.  Only a single conjunction happens.

Talk:Philip Glass

message: Ph. Glass being the "most influential composer of the late 20th century" is suggestiv, highly debatable and supports a distorted image of the pluralistic musical landscape of the respected time. It certainly should not open a neutrally descriptive encyclopedic article. The many referenced sources don't meet academic standards or represent a musicologically contextualized perspective. To mark his meaning and impact for music history I want to instead suggest "is one of the most commercially successful" composers (not debatable) or "one of the founding figures of minimalist music" (musicologically/historically approved, see "Oxford Dictionary of Music" et. al.).

Talk:Waverider

message: I moved this to this page...
[Note:  The XB-70 holds the record to this day for the highest lift-to-drag ratio on any manned aircraft.  How does the original author find this 'debatable'?]
And my reply...
You asked how it is that I claimed the amount of compression-lift from the XB-70 was "debatable". Well that's easy: it got very little from it. The lift-to-drag of the XB-70 is primarily a result of the very high fineness ratio that is possible on a very large aircraft, super-low-drag engine inlets, and high performance supersonic airfoils. To put this in perspective however, the Concorde is within a percent or two of the XB-70, and the Boeing 2707 would have outperformed it. The XB-70 holds the record simply because so few supersonic cruisers have been built, in a field of two, one will win.
