Lose WHAT? It's obvious that the greater speed, weight (bike + rider), acceleration, & distance travelled mean that bikers have a greater impact on the trail, as well as the animals & plants on the trail. Don't you agree?

Yeah, it takes a friggin' genious to post your personal problems on a bunch of recreational newsgroups. You merely reaffirm that someone can be educated and still be a dingbat.

Sea otters are really cool. Any time I drive down through Big Sur I hope to see one. The coolest is when they're floating around on their backs with a couple clams on their bellies and slammin' the clams with big ol' rocks. Who taught them that?

BTW, how can I stop pestering people who actually know something when I haven't even started? Clearly you know nothing.

Lorentz invariance, chucklehead. The magnitude of a Lorentz covariant four-
momentum vector must necessarily lie on the mass shell

E^2 + p^2 c^2 = m^2 c^4

Any other choice is not Lorentz invariant. The zero-momentum limit of this is

E^2 = m^2 c^4

....and if it weren't for all the mountain bikers, there'd be lots more of 'em.
Oh wait... that was MV's line. Sorry. I think the otters actually learned that
all alone, without dueling PhD's or a Porsche 911. Go figure!

I have nothing to do with any other planet. I strongly discourage a base on the
moon and a manned mission to Mars. I also long ago signed off the SETA program in
favor of one of searching for drugs here on Earth. (United Devices). I have no
knowledge how good it is, but it is at least rational.

You have eliminated the inconvenient comments from me, without stating so, so
your post is dishonest as are all the rest.

You are having difficulty with English. I've never compared myself to Einstein.
His paper is actually fairly easy, you can get through it in frechman physics,
that is the genius of Einstein. Mine required Green's Theorem, Gauss's theorem
and lots of other stuff though it meretly relied on Einstein's simpler paper.

Read Einstien's simple paper and tell us about it, especially why E=Mc^2. Don't
bother trying to read mine: you can't.
