It's a matter of history. Red Hat, then Pink Tie and Fedora 1, worked fine on my Compaq Armada.

My white box, using a Via chip set with a 64 bit AMD processor, and which was retired in November 2010 after working since the summer of 2006, would only boot cold with Fedora or Windows 2000. I used Knoppix with a hot reboot to use video and the K desktop. But, when Fedora improved and I could download packages conveniently, I abandoned Knoppix and Debian hot rebooting.

You should require your professor of physics to diagram the interplay of Kaluza-Klein fields in coordinate free format. The diagram should imply approximately correct calculations of the electromagnetic effects even if the diagram is both scaled and sparse - the principle of general covariance. Drop that class, I say, if she cannot. If no one in the department can, you could consider leaving the university.

These results confirm that Einstein's spacetime is a foundation of reality (locked in by theorem as I have argued) and not an approximation to be replaced by arbitrary newcomers with lesser a priori merit.

If there are truths that are logically accidental, and they do not reduce to historical accident in their context, then I may as well apply the word God to them in that context.

Classical Greece was the first advanced civilization to bring its kings and land barons under some sort of effective control. (No doubt, the Oedipus myth was clever propaganda in support of the effort.) The Greek cities were able to exile kings and land owners who did not carry out their function sufficiently well as patrons of the city.

So Alexander was able to apply political superiority, as well as all of the other Greek advancements, to his conquest of Persia.

I have already written on superluminal charges when understood as Kaluza-Klein effects. But the classical understanding becomes simply inconsistent when charges are superluminal. In my tutorial, I present a diagrammatic argument that light speed must exceed any possible speed of an accelerating charge, else a contradiction to the definition of the potential field of the charge is had. So a superluminal charge that accelerates thereby invokes the necessity of superluminal light. Diagram the po

The dimness of distant SNe Ia explosions is not evidence of a cosmological acceleration when the simple kinetic effect of this acceleration is accounted for. Namely, events that you are now accelerating away from and have attained a given speed of separation are geometrically closer than in the case where you are simply coasting apart. Remember that in the cosmological case the predecessors of the event and you start with a zero distance of separation.

This strong equivalence principle is stronger than I thought at first, if it actually constrains Hawking radiation to be only vertical to the horizon even to a nearby observer. Consider the side effects of nonvertical radiation that are visible or communicable to a distant observer - probably none.

He writes in the June 2011 Discover magazine about an inflationary catastrophe when an in falling observer meets an event horizon. The graphics presented are spectacular.

Subluminal Kaluza-Kein charges are not polarized in an encounter with the superluminal variety as they are with other subluminals. So they see and change their path only in response to the difference of the red and blue fields instead of the sum of the magnitudes. This reduces the effect to the level of a gravitational interaction, twenty powers of ten smaller than the subluminal electrostatic interactions.

Consider a superluminal center of dilation (a center of a sequence of blue partitions in my descriptive scheme) that crosses paths with a subluminal center of dilation (red). In that plane, there is a resemblance to the Kaluza-Klein charge. With sufficient interaction, such as in a Kaluza-Klein dimension, These centers will carry out a push me pull you interaction so that the subluminal center is accelerated to near light speed, and the superluminal slowed to near light speed. This is a resul

It seems that, for the Kaluza-Klein picture of charges to work, the internal polarization of the event and spacial horizon complex must be appealed to. A push me pull you effect arises from the polarization in the vicinity of another charge. This resulting behavior like electromagnetism is then all accountable to pure spacetime dynamics, the Bianchi identities.
