Ok Mr. Twigsnapper.
I'll bet you were waiting for some of us to finally understand the PARADOX.
The way I see it. We have stumbled directly into IT.
Perhaps the 3 rooms for 25 dollar argument IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN the strange math problem that Dr. Brown and Beau Kitselmen probably ran into during their work together. I'll know for sure when I finally get a hold of "the vega curve calculator".
You once told me that the most difficult thing about science is how to explain very complex math in the simplest terms. I now understand what you meant.
Sometimes, there is no possible explanation. One MUST TRY AND SOLVE THE EQUATION. After hitting our heads over and over on the wall we finally begin to understand.
The strange thing here is that because of all this hullaballoo I've made a rather important discovery about Mathematical Cardinality.
It is a point I made on my own website several years ago,
http://www.psychopropulseur.com/truth.html and until now I have considered it to be simply a curious phenomena, and I took it only as a mildly curious quirk. Now I'm beginning to see just exactly how important it really is.
Victoria's point: The "if we decide" is more important than the "if only".
A simple twist in words and the meaning takes on a whole new importance.
I suppose I went over this in my mind a long time ago.
So let me now quote a few lines from my own webpage.
Let's play with two important english words: Truth and Reality.
Let's put the word "NOT" in this combination: TRUTH/NOT/REAL.
Then reverse the order REALITY/NOT/TRUE.
Can any of these statements be truth, or false, or both..
This combination of "logic statements" is known by Scientists and Mathematicians as the "strange loop" syndrome.
It turns out that one or both of these statements has a "real world" application. In other words, A simple twist of words and suddenly every meaningful value that a person cherishes about life can change so dramatically.
Gödel was the first to develop a theory to try to resolve the fundamental arguments.
Lorentz, Planck and Minkowski were other scientists who tackled the truth/reality problem. They did so by trying to mathematically defining the measurement of EVERYTHING.
The key issue is "Cardinality". It follows that whichever word a person first decides to use ultimately decides what is what regarding Truth and Reality.
It seems that Einstein's theory of relativity is one of the possible "real world" applications to the truth/reality strange loop.
According to Einstein what is real depends on your point of view.:
This is your truth but it's not the same truth for someone else who is not exactly WHERE you are and WHEN you are there.

Could it simply be that Dr. Brown and Beau Kitselman were discovering "the equivalent of a Lorentz Transformation" in Electro-hydrodynamics, or possibly electrogravitics?
What do you think?
Did we fall directly into some sort of Paradox?
