Whenever somebody came up with a new original idea the response was always the same : that can't be right because it contradicts what the ancient Greeks thought. Today a bright 4th grader could multiply two 5 digit numbers together in about 1 0 minutes , but it would have taken the smartest ancient Greek a lifetime to do so (and even then would have probably made a mistake and gotten the wrong answer) , and that same Greek would get a F on a 4th grade science test. The idea that somebody like that could help those in the 21th century working on cutting edge problems in physics and mathematics is ridiculous. > > > I admit now to having real difficulty following Bruno's mathematical > theology, You're not alone, I don't think anybody on this list understands Bruno's ideas, and that includes Bruno. > > > which is not his fault, but instead my inability to comprehend his math. The problem isn't that Bruno's mathematics is too sophisticated, it's that his logic is too silly and the fact that the very thing you're thing you're trying to prove can't be uses as an assumption in a proof.
