- Mr. (Dr.?) Abian, a challenge to you.
-
- You have repeatedly claimed in wording I can't remember that general
- relativity is wrong in concept, and our belief in it prevents our
- accepting your A1 and A2. So -- show me why GR is wrong. Do so
- WITHOUT using A1 or A2. If you do, you will have used circular
- logic -- and I'm sure that as a mathematician you understand why
- circular logic is a fallacy. Attacks ad hominum will immediately
- disqualify you.
-
- If you do not accept this challenge, then -- to put it in your terms --
- you will not have given me enough provocation to change my status quo
- belief. And if you do not provoke enough physicists into believing
- your theories, you will not receive the Nobel prize you think you
- deserve.
-
- I await your reply.
