Or Lorentz, depending on whether or not you believe Einstein when he said that he developed Lorentz's transforms independently...

Frogger: the SR transformation holds (in flat space) irrespective of who wrote it down (or what they were thinking at the time) - it is pretty amazing that Maxwell had SR invariant laws before anyone thought of SR.Comment

Yes, but the thing is the vector equations are much simpler when written down as SR invariant
Not to mention that they'd have gotten some wrong results for any non-SR invariant laws given that they could produce some fairly high speed electrons in the late 19th century.
It all comes from that epsilon-nought mu-nought relation...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Server ate my next reply. I was trying to express my admiration for Maxwell's work to dispel impression that I was maligning it.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Yep, Maxwell kicked ass.
So did Gauss, 'course he was more of a mathematician than a scientist.

Isnt it strange how all the math and physics types pick a scientist within that field
We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

That's because physics is obviously the ultimate science.
Math isn't a science, BTW.Last edited by Ramo; February 17, 2003, 14:56."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Uh, no. 100 years ago physicists were bragging that chemistry would become applied physics; then came Shrodinger's uncertainty principle.Originally posted by Ramo

1. There's no such thing as the Schrodinger UP. There's a Heisenburg UP.Uh, no. 100 years ago physicists were bragging that chemistry would become applied physics; then came Shrodinger's uncertainty principle.
2. Chemistry is still applied physics. HUP didn't change that. Do you know what it is?"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

You mean the uncertainty principle that helps form the basis of physical chemistry?
All of the physical chemists had to take my quantum II class as part of their graduate studies. They were uniformly bad at it too...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
