I have noted with dismay the fact that some newbie posters come on my threads to make silly remarks ...

without making any substantive contribution to the to the Thesis that I put out to begin the debate.

So to bring these new folks up to speed ... let me first explain that a Thesis is supposed to be controversial or in

other words debatable.

Another thing that academics know is that the Thesis ought to be original ...

because if the subject was discussed before ... it's merely being rehashed.

Do you work until 3 or 4PM EST?

Yadi - over the past decade has covered & debated so many cricket topics that it is becoming increasingly difficult

for me to find new unique stuff. Or even old stuff .. to examine in a completely new light.

In reply to WestDem

Anytime the spirit moves me.

In reply to WestDem

Yuh rass wutliss fuh spite Bro. Yadi is Deo's number 1 supporter here. Don't forget that.

In reply to WestDem

These are a few of the subjects that I have introduced here:

1.) Clive Lloyd brought back to Guyana in the middle of a first class match ... & walking straight out of the helicopter to score a century.

2.) Elquimedo Willette taking a return catch from Clive LLoyd & ending his career.

3.) Vivian Richards breaking Bedi's hand .. same way.

4.) The Australian spinner bowling to Richards & running as a precaution .. in case Richards plays a straight drive.

5.) Ritchie Richardson taking over the mantle of top West Indies batsman from Vivian Richards at Sabina Park.

In reply to SnoopDog

Cont:

6.) The Jimmy Adams South Africa plane incident.

7.) The Brian Lara boycott

8.) Clyde Walcott: Bajan or Guyanese

9.) The dropping of Richards from the world cup ... for Simmons.

10.) The b@ttyman inuendo.

In reply to SnoopDog

In other words there is very little sh!t that ever happen in West Indies Cricket ... that I , Yadi don't come on

CaribbeanCricket.com ... & stir it up.

In reply to Yadi

What about Renaldo Parris batting at the U-19 level?

Oval and Fuzzy still say he is afraid of fast-bowling.

Another story goes

And no-one really knows

They say, that like Tishan Maragh

He opted for academics.

u and yardie don't have anyone to warm up to

Scientific discovery is also ratified

by the most brilliant minds in that

particular field.

For example: Einstein's relativity theory

had to be tested down in Australia on

a day when there was a total eclipse

of the sun.

It was the bending of the light - under

the moon's gravitational pull that

strengthen Einstein's theory because

the light did in fact behave in the

exact manner that his mathematical

equation predicted.

There were two academics in France during the era of Napoleon Bonaparte - The French Revolution named LaPlace & Fourier.

They produced work that would much later in time be necessary in helping Electrical Engineers solve certain types of Mathematical

problems.

In reply to WestDem

Laplace would later be arrested by his former friend - Napoleon Bonaparte - and it took the very strong intervention of Fourier ...

to save his very life.

In reply to WestDem

Mr.Them,

In France at this time, it was known that our Earth was once a ball of super-heated Lava.

So the crust of the Earth came about because of global cooling.

In reply to WestDem

Therefore, Laplace Transforms was initially intended to be a Mathematical model of how hot bodies cool down.

In reply to openning

In other words sometimes an academic produces a paper that he or she intended to model a certain phenomenon ...

However, to the Mathematician's dismay the model may not be applicable to the subject that it was initially

created to simplify.

But sometimes another scientist/mathematician may find that this abandoned paper ... models exactly

a completely different phenomenon ... that he was trying to simplify.

Academics is not magic.

No .. one man ... or one woman can't do it all.

If you want to get into big-man argument ... mek sure say you have read past the O'levels ....

Because you can't bring JSC come yassoh !!!!!!!!!!!

In reply to Yadi

Keep on doing your do.

In reply to Commie

Just for completeness I need to illustrate the mountain Albert Einstein had to climb over.

This mountain was no other than the great English Champion Physicist and Mathematician

the inventor of calculus: Sir Isaac Newton.

Newton had already stated that light travels in straight lines.

Einstein claimed that light was in fact a wave.

Newton had already postulated his inverse square ... in which he derived the

mathematical relationship between the masses of heavenly bodies their

distances from each other & the gravitational force that each would exert on the other.

Newton worked out the acceleration due to gravity of all falling bodies on Earth.

(Remember the apple drop & lick him , in his head).

In reply to WestDem

So why now Einstein come up with this idea about Space/ Time Continuum?

Because Einstein was just a little 'prentice .... ah work innah him father shop.
