About 1000 the past month alone.

You have got to find that particular post! I think I must have
repeated 400 times that intelligence is never as crucial as
knowledge: Any moron walking the streets today knows 1000s
of things Einstein could never even have imagined! Check it out
4 yourself! I'm sure you can come up with any number of these.

Sorry: I only claim to have solved the riddle of existence
and discovered the true nature of the universe, thereby
giving the world the first Unified Field Theory that works  (and
not some far out claim about knowing what life's all about &
things like that--I'm quite happy to agree with everybody else
that life is just a bowl of cherries).

Actually I've concocted no theories: All I have done is
interpreted some observed facts. If you but interpret them
yourself, and not have somebody else including myself
interpret them for you... I expect you will come to the conclusions
I have. If you do not come to the conclusions I have, then
I should like to hear from you, as either you or I have not
interpreted them fully in some manner or other. Or, still
more probable: Either you or I are missing some crucial
bit of knowledge necessary to make the interpretation
whole & sound.

A theorist?

Ha! Aristotle's theory of gravity passed all tests for
thousands of years! The theory that the earth was flat
also lasted until even after Columbus (and I believe
a number of people adhere to it even today).

Simple: Use my theory of an imploding universe to explain c constancy
and see where it leads you. Then use my theory of an imploding
universe to see whether the recession of the galaxies should be
accelerating or decelerating? By the way, these are not formal theories
but casual observations--so don't try to misconstrue them merely in
order to knock their value as formal theories!

Mr. Rodrian's essay is merely a proposal that "this" given observed
fact means "that." If you disagree with the validity of the observed
fact (for example that the speed of light is always measured as a
constant in identical mediums), then your argument is not with me.
If, on the other hand, you disagree with my explanation of why
c constancy exists (basically because ours in an imploding universe),
then please come up with an even simpler and more straightforward
solution than mine--And I shall be only to glad to consider it. Just
don't come up with some Rube Goldberg construct that involves
multiple interconnecting dimensions and virtual particles which pass
photons along without expenditure of energy for all their efforts (like
a fire brigade) & such other insanities: The answer I give is quite
SUPREMELY elegant and narrowly confined to observed facts (so
try to keeps yours, in a like manner, simple & straightforward).

Your theory (above) needs mathematical modeling and
innumerable additional calculations before I can accept it
as true. Please get to work on your math as soon as possible!

You misspelled "calculators."

I believe Einstein got his prize for his marvelous iridescent cookies,
not for any of his relativity math!

Too late, I already rented The Palace In The Sky (and am currently
interviewing for the skimpily-dressed Imperial Winged Amazons
which will serve as its guards).

How much to slip me an A for the semester?

That much, eh!  (I knew this teacher would eventually prove himself
to be nothing but a perfect asshole the minute I walked in his class!)
