Thanks for your comment. Research into creativity and innovation had shown that great discoveries also come through the use of analogues taken from different contexts. The more analogues you have at your disposal, the more creative you’re likely to be.

Another point about Einstein that people often over look is that as brilliant as he was, he worked for a very long time on his ideas. I think his persistence was as much a part of his success as his extraordinary mind.

Sure! Thanks for asking.

I really know what you mean (and after only 4 countries!).

Happy New Year to you as well.

Having lived in 5 countries I have met many who are happy to hide in their “comfortable, mutually reinforcing world”. For me the benefits of this broad-based experience have been tremendous — quick ability to adapt and innovate while learning quickly and transferring previous knowledge successfully to accomplish targets I feel strongly about. It’s been fun having this “special” experience.

Happy New Year!

Thanks for the nice summary of the general theory. It really is cool stuff:-))

Ah… the dream… this is the wonderful avatar world where everything is possible , and for a boy who wanted to ride a light beam , well…

Let’s imagine for a moment that riding a beam of light might feel similar to inertial motion, or rather ‘free falling’, therefore while moving with the speed of light in ‘free fall’ one cannot detect their own accelerated motion, it is only observers with an accelerating reference frame who can detect motion.
Consequently, this might have the feeling for the boy who is travel in ‘free fall’ with the speed of light to be similar to an implosion, such as the force of gravity pushing inward, which would then concentrate matter and energy, thus reversing the mass energy equasion E=mc2. This in effect might appear to be what Einstein refers to as resting in a gravitional field, or to help understanding further , a spinning top in peak ‘balance’ spin appears to stand still (only appears this way because of our reference frames) and it can stay in this ‘field’ a long time; until a gravititional force knocks it off balance at which time it would wobble and slow down considerably, until stopping.

Einstein also referred to field equasions as defining the topology of spactime and how objects move inertially, somewhat how the mind leads and the body follows, which is the interesting link to my ‘field’, organisational psychology, and my fascination with physics.
Therefore in the spirit of philosophising with Einstein, and his endeavour to find a unifed field theory, my research extends the external pursuit of physics to the internal possibilities of the mind.

food for thought

Thanks. Same to you.
