Love it, especially the variants for the gallilean moons.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947760354059387831.post-6615835862037000252022-05-06T18:34:57.532-07:002022-05-06T18:34:57.532-07:00Ah!

I appreciate the designs on the Galliean moons - think I like them better than the original.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362417308874455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947760354059387831.post-2139765485204972342021-07-23T11:10:11.228-07:002021-07-23T11:10:11.228-07:00No problem!

Maybe you're thinking of Galilean relativity. That's the really old one. <br />So the theories of relativity go:<br />1. Galilean: motion is relative.<br />2. Special: Motion is relative, yet the speed limit is constant. So time is relative too.<br />3. General: Wibbly wobbly curved spacetime stuff that goes a bit over my head. 𓃾 𓉐 Bacontimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680994241679247627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947760354059387831.post-79246545530633727982021-07-23T07:00:17.918-07:002021-07-23T07:00:17.918-07:00This is very thorough, thanks for putting this tog...This is very thorough, thanks for putting this together.<br /><br />I noticed in your entry for Vulcan you say the underlying astrophysical irregularity is explained by general relativity, but I thought it was explained by special relativity but not general relativity; and since our understanding of special relativity is much more recent, that's why the theory of Vulcan lasted for so long. I could be mistaken, or, I'm assuming it was a typo on your part.maxcan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12504030224075149157noreply@blogger.com
