    A side note, Dirac combined Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, electromagnetic interactions or photons or light.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_equation

    Dirac equation
    In particle physics, the Dirac equation is a relativistic wave equation derived by British physicist Paul Dirac in 1928. In its free form, or including electromagnetic interactions, it describes all spin-1/2 massive particles such as electrons and quarks for which parity is a symmetry. It is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity,[1] and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics. It was validated by accounting for the fine details of the hydrogen spectrum in a completely rigorous way.

    What hasn’t been combined is General Relavity and Quantum Mechanics. General relativity is about space and time, and about gravity.

    I want to see Battle. I always liked him and I think he moves better than the other offensive linemen. Let’s bring up TE Williams while we are at it.

    That title is a bit misleading…..
    …. The photon, or light, is the probably the best way to illustrate the cosmic speed limit.

    ==============
    OK, so there is a ā€˜cosmic speed limit’. But why is there a cosmic speed limit? And i wont even ask how we know there is a cosmic speed limit and how/why it works the way it does.

    That title is a bit misleading. I watch the videos that guy makes and he is good at explaining lots of things. What he is saying is that anything without mass has to travel at a defined(constant) speed. This is anything from information to photons. Neutrinos miss it by that much. šŸ˜‰ The photon, or light, is the probably the best way to illustrate the cosmic speed limit. The infinities that he talks about, might indicate the stuff that happens with Quantum Mechanics. “Spooky action at a distance.” Which nobody seems to understand. He said nothing specifically about the speed of light or “C” being invariant for all observers, which leads to the theory of Special Relativity. Which simply means that if “C” does not change, something else must change, E=MC2, time and mass can vary, since C doesn’t. imo Also, M and E can be consider as the same thing. C is a constant.

    Did I say anything wrong or confuse anybody? That is my understanding of this physics at this time.

    I guess Donnal beat out Wichmann and this sort of makes it official? Wasn’t Wichmann the starter for a time?

    For most of the season ROG was either Wichmann or Brown, mostly Wichmann.

    Donnal started there in both the Atlanta and Seattle games.

    But I guess what this means is that with Robinson down, Saffold goes to LOT, and then Brown replaces him at guard, not Wichmann.

    That’s just a guess.

    That makes sense.

    At 5:40, D’Marco Farr said, they are benching 2 players on the offensive line. Robinson and Wichmann are out.

    ? Wichman hasn’t played. The ROG has been Donnal.

    For me the main or only excuse/reason I give real value to, is, if Fisher wanted to keep Jenkins and it didn’t happen. I am sure they had the money for Jenkins. They still have $5.5 million salary cap left. They wasted $5.5 million on Sensabaugh, $4.5 this year and $1 million next year. Jenkins had a cap number of $8 million this year. McLeod had a cap number of $2.6 million McLeod, well someone had to go when they didn’t extend any contracts early. Who is responsible for that? I assume it was the negotiator. But who told him what the value of a certain player was or did he do that himself?

    If Fisher really wanted Jenkins, somebody screwed him. imo

    It occurs to me that if they did say they were going to sign Jenkins and they saw that they couldn’t. Wouldn’t they have contacted Fisher to get his input on who he would rather have or not have? And how much do I want to trust that Fisher always tells the whole truth?

    2016 was bad, but for me it doesn’t change 2012-15.

    Even up until when Fisher got fired, I have been pretty much, “I don’t care if he stays or goes.” I find that I am a bit relieved that he did get fired, because we get a new set of eyes on the team.

    Fisher reminds me of Maxwell Smart with all of his excuses

    We differ on that.

    I see 2012-15 as including an incredible run of sheer stupid bad luck.

    I can’t think of an teams that played well on offense when they BOTH (a) lost the starting qb, and (b) dealt with issues on the OL including both *extensive* injuries and inexperience. I am always open to hear from someone who can think of examples that counter that statement. Until I hear examples, though, I just figure that this is a huge factor and there is no evidence of any kind AGAINST seeing it as a huge factor.

    How many games from 2012-2015 did they have a relatively healthy and/or decently experienced OL?

    20 of 64.

    How many games from 2012-2015 did they a functioning, non-melted down or non-injured starting caliber qb?

    I give Foles 4 games so it’s 27.

    How many games did they have BOTH things?

    15. Of 64.

    And when he says he is the only guy to coach 2 bad teams that also moved? That’s just true. I don’t see any point in him humbly denying it to earn macho points.

    And you know in the end no one needs to be swayed by these things (though denying them is just, well, denial). People can still just easily go, I don’t care, I don’t like Fisher anyway.

    ..

    .

    I gave him a pass on most of that stuff. But, some time this year, I just got tired of hearing the excuses. Maybe it was after the “We’re not going 7 And 9” speech? The 28 – 0 loss to SF? Losing to Miami on the final 2 TD drives? The blow out loses to NO and NE? “Missed it by that much Chief.”

    Would you say Humans are destroying the biosphere, Ag?

    I think we are destroying fresh water and burning down the rain forest and using nonrenewable resources and polluting with waste products. I think industrial farming and food corporations are bad things. A lot of stuff is bad. In the past we could always find more stuff at other places. If we don’t eventually move off planet we will run out of stuff and die. So, we need to find a lot more energy. So, good water short term. Vast amounts of energy long term.

    Fisher reminds me of Maxwell Smart with all of his excuses, but the if he really wanted Jenkins, the front office let him down. They had the money to pay Jenkins. If they had concentrated on signing their own free agents, they had a chance to sign them all. They extended no contracts last year. We have done 2 this year, Brockers and Tavon. I think the move and Demoff letting someone else do contracts hurt their ability to sign their own free agents.

    Maybe the personnel dept could have done better on checking the background of some players, but it seemed that if the coaches wanted a player they got them. Some examples are: Fisher got Gurley. Fassel got his kicker and punter. Williams got Alexander and Joiner. Boudreau got Robinson. Waufle got Donald. I believe most personnel depts let the coaches have more input on lower draft choices. They stack the board. That involves coaches and scouts. So, I don’t see how personnel let them down. Did personnel pick all the ex-Titan free agents? Did they sign Sensabaugh because Fisher didn’t want him? Fisher seems to think they could win with the players they had. imo

    Voting proves theory?

    No, voting states positions.

    Turns the issue into an informal poll.

    So just stating a position.

    Ok, I misread that. Everyone gets to have a position. There are a lot of smart people here, that doesn’t mean we all have to agree. imo

    I’m curious. Can you explain a little?

    How about starting here? Do you believe the earth is warming?

    In the long term we are headed for a cooling. In the short term it is hard to say exactly when that will happen or if we will have some positive or negative variance before that happens. A few hundred years ago it was warmer, then we had the little ice age, then that ended. But this has nothing to do with hypothetical man made CO2 warming. imo

    I don’t know why he chooses to lump all that together. I only have problems with the climate change hoax.

    Even calling it climate change is a misleading rebranding. It is the idea that man made CO2 causes any significant change, that I think is wrong.
