The President has to be confronted with the psychological advantage of counteraction against risk explained at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eLF2SqAMuk and related texts incl. important blog articles like the above.

The mistake was not to find a way to dispersuade the President in time.

Can you help me — any one reader — to dispersuade the president of CERN in time?

But here are many critics arguing against Pascal. They seem to be too much satisfied by a very finite advantage. Belief in nuclear deterrence remains critical. “The Making of the Limited Test Ban Treaty, 1958–1963″ http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB94/ is citing “Prospective Results of New Series of Soviet Atmospheric Tests,” 26 April 1962: “In light of the ‘political and psychological advantages’ that the Soviets had gained from their nuclear tests, the analysts believed…” So here are two later scientists taking the “psychological advantage” of technologies that endanger the higher life forms on Earth, into question: Pauling and Schweitzer. Peace or atomic war http://www.schweitzer.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=49&Itemid=73&lang=en states: “… the chemist and Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling delivered a petition to the UNO in New York, signed by Albert Schweitzer and 9235 other scientists. The resolution urged an international agreement to stop nuclear weapons tests.” Actually, the CTBT –Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty –described at http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org/legal/ctbt/ctbtest.html works in that direction to become very reasonable psychological advantages within a particle test ban treaty.

I am follwoing you around — should I not?

I gave a definition of T_tip above.

Without a definition of K, T_tip remains undefined and we cannot move on to discussing your eq.(2). Is T_tip a frequency or not?

And would you please stick to just one comment thread?

Any more objections?

Probably “Planck time squared,” but it doesn’t matter. It’s still a frequeny with a weird dimension then.

1) what is K? Is it dimensionless? If it’s not dimensionless, what are its dimensions? You cannot introduce a new variable just like that, without explaining what it is.

2) if K is dimensionless (i.e., just a number), and sigma has dimension of time, then your T_tip has dimension of 1/time, i.e. it is a frequency (in contradiction with some of your earlier statements, but not with others). Is that the case?

3) if on the other hand K is not dimensionless, you should be able to express it in terms of fundamental constants (e.g. c). Again. what is K?
