Re: [math-fun] More grist for the mill re galaxies and gravity theory

Newton gravity might naively be expected to work well with no need to use full blown general relativity (GR) for galaxies. But the first paper claims that is not true! etc.
This: also off-topic (but not infinitely, since there might be some math in there somewhere. But still, definitely not fun.) Hint: if you're going to post a rant, and it's not about Dewdney or Ramanujan or Conway or Macsyma or OEIS, then it's probably not math-fun and you shouldn't post it. Definitely not if it's a rant about some unrefereed physics paper that most of us (except maybe Veit) are incompetent to review. (Sorry for ranting at ranters. I'm home with a chest cold on a holiday weekend, and crankier than usual.) -- Tom Duff. Site was last updated on 31/12/69 (10999 days ago).

Hmph. I meant Dudney (Henry Ernest), not Dewdney (Alexander Keewatin). Dewdney-rants are probably off-topic. (And so am I by now. Shutting up...) -- Tom Duff. Ask me about my conspiracy theory.
