Hi Larry,

I mentioned your Conference at

http://members.aon.at/chakalov/Carroll.html#PS

Suppose you and the rest of the seventy-five participants-by-invitation-only were discussing some issues of crucial importance, say, HIV. There would be at least two people, the person who organized the Conference (you) and one of the Invited Speakers (Steven Weinberg), who are aware that there might -- just might -- be a cure for HIV, only it is proposed on a web site (mine).

I believe that if you were discussing HIV, somebody would have at least mentioned my proposal.

I suppose you're dealing with something far less important. Am I wrong?

BTW I included Steven Weinberg in the CC list for pure netiquette; he told me that doesn't have time to read my email.

I hope to hear from you.

Regards,

Dimi

Don't do it then. Do not actively promote ignorance of GR,

Say something.

Note: To explain my two emails above, let me quote from Larry Krauss' presentation of a "delightful event", which took place at Virgin Islands last year (emphasis and links added).
 

Lawrence Krauss: "I just returned from the Virgin Islands, from a delightful event -- a conference in St. Thomas -- that I organized with 21 physicists.
...
"Everything is consistent with this dark energy that looks like a cosmological constant; which tells us nothing.
...
"But whatever you do, you find that all you get is suggestive arguments. Because if you don't have an underlying theory, you never know.
...
"But when you look at CMB map, you also see that the structure that is observed, is in fact, in a weird way, correlated with the plane of the earth around the sun. Is this Copernicus coming back to haunt us? That's crazy. We're looking out at the whole universe. There's no way there should be a correlation of structure with our motion of the earth around the sun — the plane of the earth around the sun — the ecliptic. That would say we are truly the center of the universe.
...

"And of course as a theorist I'm certainly hoping it's the latter, because I want theory to be wrong, not right, because if it's wrong there's still work left for the rest of us."


No problem, Larry. The work has been patiently waiting for you since 1917.

Hi Larry:

Any chance for a second conference at St. Thomas? My tentative contribution is outlined at

I love jumbo shrimps and scuba diving, and will do everything to see Prof.

Dear Professor Crow,

I would like to participate in the Origins Symposium, and am respectfully requesting all available information about it.

May I take this opportunity to invite you and your colleagues to my talk in Munich on September 21st this year,

http://www.god-does-not-play-dice.net/Szabados.html#talk

It will cover the so-called dark energy of "empty space"; a hypothesis which I believe Prof. L. Krauss (cf. the excerpt below) knows quite well, since he has responded to my previous email messages.

Kindest regards,

Dimi Chakalov

"The universe is dominated by the energy of empty space. There's far more energy in empty space than in all the matter and all the galaxies and stars in the whole universe," Krauss says. "And, we don't have the slightest idea why it's there."
