Heaviside was a great and genuinely underappreciated scientist, but calling James Clerk Maxwell an idiot pretty much disqualifies any opinion you have from serious consideration.

Great distance. Geometry. Trigonometry. Viewing position.

Did you know you can watch an artillery shell quite some distance from the gun, even though the shell is traveling Mach 2 or so?

Here is the real Ali:

Ali takes a rest during his fight with Joe Frazier


Media-created fraud Ali just got clobbered by Joe Frazier's left hook.


The talented Ali practices the limbo in his fight with Joe Frazier.


The athletic Ali practices his leg raises during his fight with Joe Frazier.


Ali tries out new boxing stance in his fight with Joe Frazier.


Jimmy Young harassing terrified, swollen-faced Ali.


Ali knocked down by 185 pound Henry Cooper’s left hook in his fight immediately before Ali's two fakes with Sonny Liston.

The bell rang ending the round as Ali got up and lurched toward his corner.

Then Ali got a rest of several minutes between rounds before the fight resumed, instead of the legal one minute between rounds.


Ali knocked down by Sonny Banks’ left hook.

Ali could not defend himself against a left hook.


Ali holds the distinction of being the only heavyweight champion in the history of boxing to lose his title to a novice who had only seven professional fights--Leon Spinks.

Aaaaah,Leon Spinks———we never understood ONE WORD he was saying when being interviewed-——and his language was English. :-)

Einstein, Newton and Archimedes are in EVERYBODY'S top five lists of physicists of all time.

I think you forgot one.

"It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, V, in relation to the trajectory, T, in which G, gravity, of course, remains a constant."

"So Einstein added a fudge factor to his equations, a kind of energy associated with empty space. This cosmological constant allowed for a stable universe. But sure enough, astronomers in the 1920s confirmed that the universe was expanding. Einstein later called the cosmological constant the “greatest blunder” of his career."

There is some evidence that, in the end, this may turn out to be not wrong.

Carl Gauss was a great mathematician and physicist but not in the same league.
