Hi Platt
The Aharonov-Bohm Effect
In classical mechanics the motion of a charged particle is not affected by
the presence of magnetic fields in regions from which the particle is
excluded. The motion of classical particles emitted by the source S is not
affected by the magnetic field B because
Hi Platt,
What I meant is that I regard nothing as more worthy than human life,
and this for the many reasons explained elsewhere. I will never feel
comfortable with the idea that some men are entitled to decide of
another man's life. On the other hand, if human life is so important, in
line of
Hi Andrea:
What I meant was that you should go to Africa to distribute condoms to
prevent AIDS and the subsequent deaths from that behaviorial
disease, not to prevent children from being born into misery. Since you
value human life above all else, it seems you should be doing that or
or senescence? Generally, the older we get, the more we appreciate static Quality (or,
on the other hand, we fear DQ). Maybe we can have wisdom just for one moment,
somewhere in the middle of our life... when Dynamic enthousiasm and static prudence
are in perfect armony.

Hi Stephen:
Many thanks for the explanation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect. As I
understand it, Bohm rejected the idea that an observer was necessary
for quantum effects to take place, ruling out mind or consciousness as
playing any role at that level. The question then arises, How could DQ
Hi Squonk and Discussers.
You said:
Quality relieved me of all that science stuff also.
I came to realise that science is a creative activity; a quality
activity and high quality at that. But the static patterns a high
quality creative activity generates is not the whole of reality is

No, a good reason not to trust those who boast about their

Dear John,
Your conclusions (27/6 05:11 +1000)
from what I sent you about Quakers (24/6 23:07 +0200) are correct I
think.
I have some doubts about the
final decision is communal rather than individual (contrary to
Pirsig). The descriptions of what happens seem to justify this
conclusion,
Marco,
You seem pretty uptight about this racist thing. You think you've never had
a rascist thought or never made a racist statement before? What are you
some kind of special uber human? I was fortunately enough to grow up around
all kinds of people and it's my observation that non-virulent
