ok aDrie, here's what I'd send to your address. comments? You really want me to do it?
------------ Dear dr. steve, Your name and reputation came up in an online discussion, to which I posed a few questions about your ideas, which nobody could refute or contradict, and I was challenged, subsequently, to pose my questions to you directly. I really have two issues of contention. The first has to do with my reading of your book, A brief History of Time, and the second with a recent comment, that I only heard about somewhat third-handedly, reputed to you, that "philosophy is dead". If you did not make that statement, nor endorse it, then ignore the second half of my contention and I'm sorry to bother you. Which I am, anyway, but there it is. I've been challenged to a task and I must complete it. The heart of my issue with your book, is the title. Which I could never quite get past. A brief history of time? Really dr. steve? If this was meant at all ironically, then I worry at all the school children and the common people who watch tv specials on "the age of the universe" who don't seem to be in on the joke, and yet take it all so seriously. If it wasn't meant ironically, but seriously, then I wonder at the reasoning behind your reputation as a great and serious thinker? If there really is some way to contextualize the space-time continuum, without doing some philosophy, could you please enlighten us all? I will be posting your response to this same group which elicited it from me. Sincerely, John Carl some guy on the internet Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
