The "for dummies" one is fascinating, I like the "relativisation over history" - Galilean relativity is Newtonian relativity with a particular constant (Gravitational?) set to zero, and Newtonian relativity is Einsteinian relativity with c set to infinity, and then we get another form of space-time relativity by turning on something else...
I would like to get my head around the whole thing - not mathematically, unfortunately, I think that would be too much - but conceptually. The fact that the choice of reference frames affects what exists (or is visible to QM, at least) is interesting. It seems to unite a whole load of stuff, Bekenstein's Elephant (simultaneously (?) both falling into a black hole and not falling in) and the holographic bound... all of which seem rather mysterious on their own, so a "grand unification" is rather exciting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
