Kevin, it's bad form (desperation, really) to
cite YOUR OWN WEB PAGE!
"I refer you to this authoritative source, which
supports my position completely..."

The universe and everything in it however isn't circular -


It indeed is.This is in fact very well known and understood.

oh dear
The foundations of science crumble, the
structure sways...

F = d(mv)/dt, or F=ma, if one isnt up the math
How do we define mass and force independently of
each other? Good luck mate in your effort.

oh dear
Sounds fiendishly difficult.
But wait... there's another fellow we might
consult, almost as smart as yourself...
Feynman, by surname.. no longer animate,
but thanks to the miracle of the written word...
He discusses this very question, in his
"Lectures" (what an amazing coincidence!).
What we do, we bang things together, of
various sizes and materials, and watch how
they bounce. From this, we derive the
concept of inertia, quantified as mass.
After that, we define force.
Circular reaoning avoided, the universe is
saved, Jesus loves us!

If you actually knew anything about physics
you would understand this point.

lol!
With each memo, you dig the hole deeper and
deeper... I figure you're halfway to China at this point...

I don't think that's fair. He's not citing that web page
as an argument from authority, he's citing it because it
explains his position in more detail than he could give
in a usenet post.
