Phys Rev Lett I was wondering the same thing. In the physics community, what is considered "high impact" is, as I am sure you would corroberate, different than what ISI considers to be "high impact" with its algorithm.

Physics Impact Factors Impact factors are calculated based mostly on number of citations. There are, however, many other factors. Do a google search on "ISI Journal Impact Factors" or "Journal Performance Indicators" and you can pull up some formulas that the ISI uses. Regarding the actual...

Cool article :wink: You flatter us... Here is a nice article from MIT's Technology Review. It is based on a recent article in Science. Read it. It is a intended for a general audience. It is called something like "Crystal Stops and Speeds Up Light"...

Clarification GAB: I would like to clarify something that russ_watters said. I will mention that everything russ_watters said is quite correct. What I would like to point out is that if you were to measure the time it takes a laser beam to travel through, say, a 1 m distance of water, you...

GAB: The answer depends on the medium the light is traveling in. Blue light and red light in outer-space travel at the same velocity (no dispersion). Blue light and red light in air travel at very slightly different velocities; this is called dispersion. The question is not unique to...

shchr: You are precisely right. The "paradox" arises when applying a non-inertial frame to SR. The treatment on the web is the one, and only, correct interpretation. It was what I learned in school also... Thanks for your support!

shchr: I am currently debating with Albrecht who has made some outrageous claims. You are absolutely right, there indeed is not preferred inertial frame in the universe. People like Albrecht simply make these bold claims and put the onus on the SCIENTIST to refute the claim. As any...

This is the third time I am asking: PLEASE show us an article that experimentally shows that there is a preferred inertial frame in the universe.

I purposely placed my first question AT THE TOP of my last response. You side-stepped the issue. Please address it: ---from last post--- COMMENT: Before you comment on the rest of the feedback I provide in this message, PLEASE show us an article that experimentally shows that there is a...

<- Albrecht said -> "..There is exactly one preferred inertial frame (i.e. absolutely at rest)" COMMENT: Before you comment on the rest of the feedback I provide in this message, PLEASE show us an article that experimentally shows that there is a preferred inertial frame in the universe...

The smiley face was ambiguous. I guess I misunderstood your intention. My apologies for calling you ignorant...

(sdeliver645 thinks...) eNtRopY is increasing the disorder of this thread. Boltzmann said: S=k*ln(W) Now he is dead.

Review Thanks chroot. I checked out some other reviews as well, one which I would like to suggest to others. It seemed honest and shared the skepticism that is natural in reponse to a book titled "A New Kind of Science". It did, however, praise Wolfram for the many contributions he has made...

I see. I haven't read the book and was a little alarmed by the introduction. I suppose Wolfram is simply trying to make a profit, and there isn't anything wrong with that.

Microwave, are you being sarcastic? Do you really feel this way about physicists?
