    What is the ‘traverse law’ in physics? Google draws a blank

    Presumably ‘free energy’ is one of the Free Energies (Gibbs or Helmholtz) that occur in the Laws of Thermodynamics, which I don’t pretend to understand

    Feel free to ignore if an explanation runs the risk of soiling your nest; that is, ruining your – apparently very esoteric – edge

    Genuinely interested

    “The Laws of Thermodynamics, which I don’t pretend to understand”.

    Flanders and Swann explained them:

    VG Corker, all is now clear :yes:

    Flanders & Swann were an amusing duo

    It’s off the map and conventional science dismisses anything other than convention which is where Tesla fell foul of traditional thinking and the traditionalists which of course always proves not to be the case eventually.

    “conventional science dismisses anything other than convention”.

    —————–

    …Is something often said when there are no scientific grounds to support the theory.

    There is only “science”, Sam.
    Anything else isn’t science.

    Define science
    Define convention
    Define conventional science
    Define define
    You can’t, other than you and others before you have been told
    Time and time again conventional thinking and accepted schools of thought and history for that matter turns out to be incorrect and based on perception understood and accepted as fact chapter and verse until disproved and replaced with new wisdom or discovery.

    Science always has the best theory until science comes along and disproves it, Sam.
    That’s what science is.
    Science disproving science still has science coming out on top.

    What is science Gingertipster?
    Can you define it?
    I prefer to have an open mind regards accepting everything presented to me as factual….

    Einstein on science
    Tesla on science
    Politicians on science
    Scientists on science
    Atheists on science
    Pagans on science
    Religious people on science
    Conventionists on science
    Non conventionists on science
    All have different takes on science
    Are any of them right?
    Surely there is more to be discovered than is known?

    I’m happy to use the breeders cup here and stick my neck out and identify two horses who may run well one of them because of free energy from two distinct sources.
    Idiomatic and clairiere have similar chances but the massive amounts of free energy heading to the stall of idiomatic swings it in her favour.
    Idiomatic
    Win
    Clairiere
    Each way
    Clairiere has been touched off in this race twice losing by a nose. chance remains but will elude again unless bull is grabbed by the horns here and it is not out of the question at all.

    Sam,
    You’re the one who started talking about “Traverse Law” and “Free Energy”
    Saying:
    “it’s impossible to say which horse receives positive or negative energy both have to be considered”…
    And also claim
    “I know (believe) these hidden reserves to be the free energy that is factored into every race and generated by every horse. Like all belief systems known to man, if you believe in them strongly enough, you find to a way to make them work…… ….”.
    And
    Even claiming it’s unconventional “science”.
    And
    “it’s off the map”.

    Yet haven’t explained any of it.
    Fair enough if you don’t want to.

    Science can be many things, but I can tell you what science is not, Sam… And that’s the unexplained.

    No wonder Aidan O’Brien was happy to do the popes bidding last night as it gave his runners a huge advantage.

    same story tonight with the absence of both runners either side.

    win

    for exactly the same reasons stable mste

    BROOME

    each way

    has an outstanding chance if not sacrificing advantage by pacesetting here.

    Gingertipster I love you mate.
    You could get into an argument with yourself in a bloody phone box.
    (and still lose!!)

    I don’t claim to understand it because I don’t. But what I do know that something happens. I’ve identified that something happens and rather than write about it after it has happened and claim that something happened, I’m saying before the event that this ‘may well happen’and the last two races it has. In fact all my selections ‘made tonight’ have featured a winner or a placed horse in each race and ALL have been ALEXANDER selections.

    —————————

    When there is a non-runner the other runners are moved one stall across, Sam.
    There were horses on both stalls immediately next to Auguste Rodin.
    ie Rodin was in stall 5 which – with 4 and 6 non-runners – ended up between stalls 3 and 7.
