PeterDonis replied to the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena.Only if you ignore all the actual experimental results. -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.The fact that three posters in this thread so far have failed to understand your description of your algorithm indicates that it's not... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread I How do non-diagonal indices of a metric allow for local flatness?.Not the way you mean. The Minkowski metric is diagonal when you choose a particular coordinate chart. But you can also choose a chart on... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread I Modern View of Quantum Phenomena.It obeys a relativity principle, but it's the wrong one, as we now know by experiment. It obeys the Galilean relativity principle, but... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.How do we know it's a concept worth discussing? Part of my job as a moderator is to maintain the signal to noise ratio of these forums... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.So where's the actual Filemaker code you're running? -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.Let me rephrase my response: are you going to actually answer the question of what existing knowledge in this subject area you've... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.I never said it wasn't. My point is, is it the best way to share this kind of idea? You say you've actually run this algorithm... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.You mean you don't already know of any? Again, are you aware of the sieve algorithms that already exist? Have you looked at any? -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.I don't think it's not understanding the concept, it's more a question of whether pseudocode is really the best way to describe an... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.Are you familiar with the algorithms that already exist? If not, you should be. How do you know that if you don't know what algorithms... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread New Idea for Prime Number Sieve.You haven't been able to find any references to algorithms for a prime number sieve? I find that hard to believe. Where have you looked?
