POAMS - The Neo-Machian, Digital Physics Website (725 words) |
 | In Machian physics, all motion is relative; that is, the motion of any one body is relative to some other or others, there being no motion of anything with respect to 'space as such' - whatever that might mean. |
| And since, in POAMS, all motion is fundamentally rotational and therefore 'gyroscopic', this same alpha frame serves as the reference-frame for the magnitude and direction of all motion whatsoever. |
| However, like interfering in a marital quarrel, instead of this prospect of reconciliation being welcomed by the oppositely entrenched Relativists and Dissidents in the conflict over time-dilation, POAMS, by announcing its prospect of peace from its standpoint between the two warring factions is, predictably, berated by both sides. |
| LENIN - The Theory of Knowledge of Empirio-Criticism and of Dialectical Materialism. II - V.I. Lenin - Athenaeum ... (13019 words) |
| This proposition of natural science is incompatible with the philosophy of the Machians and with their doctrine of truth: if truth is an organising form of human experience, then the assertion that the earth exists outside human experience cannot be true. |
| The Machians contemptuously shrug their shoulders at the antiquated views of the dogmatists, the materialists, who still cling to the concept matter, which supposedly has been refuted by recent science and recent positivism. We shall speak separately of the new theories of physics on the structure of matter. |
| The Machians one and all insishahey are relativists, but the Russian Machians, while repeating the words of the Germans, are afraid, or unable to propound the question of the relation of relativism to dialectics clearly and straightforwardly. |
