Sigh. See the rebuttal Michael Haufe already linked to (http://www.thepimanifesto.com/). To most serious mathematicians, tau is rather crackpot territory. I'd indeed be opposed. (OT, though somewhat related, this interesting and amusing talk about crank physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXSgp755DSA Relevant observation: most cranks are engineers. Probable explanation: they are used to being able to construct the world to their liking, and some can't deal with this not being possible in math and physics.) /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
