I referred to the above paper because one of the authors is David Wands at the Portsmouth ICG. I think it's the sort of thing Sesh might be interested in, particularly since Einstein described a gravitational field as space that was <a href="http://einsteinpapers.press.princeton.edu/vol7-trans/192?highlightText=%22neither%20homogeneous%22" rel="nofollow">"neither homogeneous nor isotropic"</a>. <br />John Duffield.

No, it is not. (And if it were, don't you think that someone else would have though of this before you?)

Space has its vacuum energy which has a mass equivalence, and there's a lot of it about. And space, of course, is *dark*. <br />John DuffieldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976071487922527618.post-816381314814118152015-10-29T10:15:04.529+01:002015-10-29T10:15:04.529+01:00"A small factoid that caught my attention abo...<i>"A small factoid that caught my attention about Dennis Sciama is that although born in Manchester, his family was actually of Syrian Jewish origin. They originally came from Aleppo, in fact, though his mother was born in Egypt. In light of recent events it seems worth pondering on that."</i><br /><br />True but irrelevant to recent events?<br /><br />I'm not opposed to immigration per se. (I could say "as an immigrant myself", but of course it is possible to be hypocritical, but even if not, being an immigrant doesn't automatically mean that one is "for" immigration any more than not being an immigrant automatically means that one is "against" immigration.) I think the best policy lies somewhere between "kill all foreigners" and "open all borders with no controls whatsoever". Where exactly the best policy lies is a subject of debate. Unfortunately, many people who don't hold either of the extreme positions are often caricatured as such by those whose position is also not extreme but slightly different. (Just to be clear: I am not accusing you of this!)<br /><br />Sure, Sciama and many other good scientists and good people were immigrants, or children of immigrants, and of course people move from country to country in academia and often end up outside their original country (and are often quite happy with this). But I don't see that it is relevant to the current situation in Europe at the moment. Someone from the "other side" could find an example of an immigrant, perhaps even a refugee, perhaps even someone granted asylum who was persecuted for his political beliefs in his home country, who not only committed crimes but abused the hospitality of his adopted country in the process. Such examples don't mean that one should stop all immigration, and conversely positive examples don't mean that one should necessarily allow more immigration. Sure, it demonstrates that not all immigrants are stupid, but anyone who believes that is beyond hope anyway.<br /><br />Phillip Helbighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067585245603436809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6976071487922527618.post-20229458916888638992015-10-29T09:21:27.689+01:002015-10-29T09:21:27.689+01:00Congratulations on the fellowships, and the choice...Congratulations on the fellowships, and the choice of institute.
