Re: [Vo]:FYI: Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials...
The use of the term theorm is appropreate because the work was done in the framework of mathematical physics.

RE: [Vo]:FYI: Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials...
Sorry Michael, but judging someone simply based on their choice of words, especially with the global connectivity of the internet where the person's English might be limited, is a very poor way to determine validity of the person's ideas... you certainly can do so, but I prefer not to. Perhaps you don't have the scientific/mathematical expertise to judge them on the merits of the published paper??? Have you at least read it? -Mark -Original Message- From: Michael Foster [mailto:mf...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 3:32 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:FYI: Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials...

Re: [Vo]:FYI: Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials...
One presumes they mean hypothesis or perhaps theory. The term "theorem" does not apply this idea. An attempt at such pedantic erroneous usage usually qualifies the proponent as a fool. --- On Mon, 6/11/12, MarkI-ZeroPoint wrote: > From: MarkI-ZeroPoint > Subject: [Vo]:FYI: Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials... > To: vortex-l@eskimo.com > Date: Monday, June 11, 2012, 11:43 PM > "Theorem unifies superfluids and > other weird materials" > > > > http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/06/08/theorem-unifies-superfluids-and-ot > her-weird-materials/ > > > > Don't know if Storms' NAE qualifies for 'weird materials', > but I'd bet it > does... > > > > -mark > > > > > >

"Theorem unifies superfluids and other weird materials" http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2012/06/08/theorem-unifies-superfluids-and-ot her-weird-materials/ Don't know if Storms' NAE qualifies for 'weird materials', but I'd bet it does... -mark <>
