The topic writer bases his thought experiments on principles of special relativity that even Einstein himself showed to be incomplete, and in some cases, flat-out wrong.

How long will physicists ignore their own scientific history...

I suspect you will then find these topics an interesting read: http://knol.google.com/k/einstein-was-wrong-falsifying-obser...

TL;DR: not only is the "Standard" model flawed, but it is substantially so the further we research it.

The elements of economic understanding are already available, and mathematicians are not required to articulate them.

Please consider this as an introduction, and go from there.

Please allow me to clarify. I do not imply that there is no role for mathematics in the observations of economic activity. I submit that they are a secondary measurement tool, as opposed to a key that can unlock secrets that may be revealed with evermore creative use. Please read this excellent explanation: http://.Mises.org/daily/2125.

I mentioned this in another post, but its relevant to this discussion too-

As a matter of fact, you're likely on to the right track of thought to doubt the clear "made-up-ness" that seems to populate most discussion between conventional theorists today.. I always wondered how even the Big Bang was explained by "well you see, first, there was nothing...and then there was... everything. But its not religious...its science! Except we have to create 99% of the matter we say must be there, but that can't be measured by any existing technique, unless we throw created math formulas at it that we 'correct' until they say what we want them to say"

I hope you get as excited as I was to have found a much more intuitively correct hypothesis- but be warned: it flatly rejects many sacred cows. Start here, and read from beginning to end. Epiphany follows :) http://www.electric-cosmos.org/indexOLD.htm

This is an excellent supplement to the above: http://www.haltonarp.com/articles

I hope you find them useful :)
