cos(x) = (exp(ix) + exp(-ix))/2 Take both sides to the power 2n Use the binomial theorem for the right-hand side Integrate

You're wasting your time: That series does not and cannot converge. How could it? The terms get bigger and bigger. Read up on what it means for an infinite series to converge.

gdp, - Yes, well the existence of such an integral invariant must be proven or at least motivated, not just claimed. - I am not convinced by McKitrick's arguments. I was heavily involved in a discussion on Parker's work on the UHI effect at ClimateAudit (a site managed by McIntyre, a close...

gdp, - It's not completely clear that Miskolczi's predictions are really predictions: Someone pointed out that in one presentation, he described as an observation what in this paper he describes as a theoretical prediction. - I'm not terribly familiar with atmospheric temperature data...

gdp, I think we are in "violent agreement": - I agree that the VT applies in its general form. However, in the calculation of r*F, the intermolecular forces can be reasonably modeled as collisions between point-like molecules, so that the two equal & opposite forces are applied at the same...

gdp: I half agree with you: 1) Kinetic Energy must include the thermal energy as well as the KE associated with the bulk motion. 2) However, there is a problem in saying that the path of molecule is part of an orbit: The Virial theorem is a time-average, so it depends on the concept that the...

I have also been studying Miskolczi's paper, and have gotten through about to page 10 before being stopped by a series of problems and apparent non sequitors, some of which have been mentioned by others.. I have written this up and sent my comments to Dr. Miskolczi, who said he would be...
