What is the difference between mathematical R^4 space and physical 4D unit space?

We assume that the difference is huge and that it is not possible to compare the two spaces. The R^4 mathematical space considers time as an external controller and the space itself is immobile in...

Is it true that there is a physico-statistical meaning to the constant π other than circular geometry but the iron guardians of the SE deny it?

We assume that there is a physico-statistical meaning to the constant π other than circular geometry, but the iron guardians of the Schrödinger equation deny this. The iron guardians of the...

Is it possible to calculate finite numerical integration via matrix mechanics?

We assume that it is possible to calculate finite numerical integration via statistical matrix mechanics (a product of the statistical method of Cairo techniques). It is obvious that here it is...

Assuming that the vacuum explodes spontaneously, how is this explosion sustained and amplified?

We assume that the energy in infinite free space (in addition to flammable particles if any) is drawn toward the center of the hottest point, as if to add more fuel to the fire. The Big Bang...

Assuming that the central philosophy of the Schrodnger equation is the cat in a box paradox, can this phylosipy be adjusted?

We assume that the cat in a box paradox may allow an additional approach to include multiple cats in the same box. We can now see two seemingly different views, quantum and classical. The...

Is it true that we can completely neglect partial differential equations, the method of separation of variables and FDM techniques?

We assume that this is true when the statistical matrix mechanics of the so-called Cairo techniques are used to replace PDE and its classical mathematical methods of solution. Moreover, the...

Robert J. Zydenbos

I must confess that I have never understood what is so new or amazing about Said, or why so many people took him so seriously – thereby also overlooking serious errors he made. See, for instance, https://www.academia.edu/6169112/Orientalism_its_Critique_and_Beyond and the book Beyond Orientalism: The Work of Wilhelm Halbfass and Its Impact on Indian and Cross-Cultural Studies (http://www.bagchee.com/books/BB43671/beyond-orientalism-the-work-of-wilhelm-halbfass-and-its-impact-on-indian-and-cross-cultural-studies/). Such writings must be taken into consideration for an evaluation of Said.
