Apr 6	comment	What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? +1 OK, that's much better, which is what John McVirgo says in the comments of the question.
Apr 5	comment	What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? Ok then, so why didn't Einstein also account for different energy scales, such as temperature, having different multiplicative factors?
Apr 5	comment	What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? -1 he didn't bother with different frames using different standards of measurements in his 1905 paper, so it's safe to assume he didn't do the same here, otherwise he would have said so.
Mar 12	comment	What are hidden variables exactly? @user21847 our ignorance and inability to measure these variables hides them from us.
Mar 6	comment	What was meant by the 'ponderomotive force' as understood by Minkowski? If you read the question, I do say Minkowski mentions it in 1907.
Feb 3	comment	How can the speed of light be a dimensionless constant? You should be more explicit in your conclusion then: c is not dimensionless and so Schultz is wrong.
Dec 26	comment	Which kinds of Physics laws do and don't comply with the principle of relativity? Yes, I can see that you're right now.
Dec 23	comment	Which kinds of Physics laws do and don't comply with the principle of relativity? it's not true that they either exhibit Galilean or Lorentzian invariance, they all obey the latter. Galilean invariance is an approximation for v<<c
Dec 23	comment	The Four-Clock Special Relativity Conundrum @TerryBollinger the Lorentz transformations depend on the sign of $v$ which means simultaneous events in the lab frame tranform differently to frames A and B. Hence you can't assume the lagging clocks must have the same time because of the symmetry of the problem.
Dec 20	comment	Are the principles of space-time homogeneity and Isotropy independent of one another? If you can't have isotropy every where without homogeneity, then doesn't this imply they're not entirely independent of one another?
Nov 29	comment	Recent Higgs boson observation and credibility of superstring theories @Dilaton how are you qualified to say which physicists are right and which are wrong? I'm under the impression that Kane expected SUSY to show up in the LEP - it didn't. So the models were modified and so SUSY was expected to show up in the LHC by now. It hasn't, and on we go...
Nov 28	comment	deriving a Lorentz transfomation for velocity vector components You've divided by $cdt'$ rather than $dt'$
Nov 18	comment	What equation describes the electrostatic potential in these circumstances? $j = \sigma E$ ?
Nov 14	comment	Did Einstein prove $E=mc^2$ correctly? nonsense, the paper is not really easy and clear, hence the controversy.
Nov 14	comment	Did Einstein prove $E=mc^2$ correctly? -1 this doesn't answer the question.
Nov 11	comment	Relativistic momentum Why should the Newtonian momentum be multiplied by some function of the velocity?
Oct 30	comment	Can the Euler-Lagrange equations be derived from an infinitesimal Principle of Least Action? looks interesting
Oct 24	comment	Minkowski diagram and length contraction what did you use to draw the graphs?
Oct 23	comment	What is meant by potential energy for a particle in a field? yes thanks. I agree with you completely.
Oct 19	comment	What is meant by potential energy for a particle in a field? When textbooks suggest that a particle in a gravitational field has a potential energy mgh, how would you express it?
