Ted,
Bucket wants to know what's your address.:naughty: I told him it wasn't appropriate to ask but then he went bezerk- they've got him up on the third floor right now- all drugged up and strapped down! Probably be a day or two before you see him post again.

First, Really a very intelligent and thoughtful analysis of some of the interactions and facts happening in the golf swing- excellent. You are obviously intelligent and motivated.

It's also unique that the unlabeled problem in your post (as I see it) is summarized in your last paragraph. I call it a problem because it is and will limit how far you can take your ideas and knowledge. Without getting too deep- Epistemology is the 2nd branch of Philosophy- the study of knowldege- "How do you know what you know?" and whether consciously or subconsciously you've chosen H L Mencken/ Friedich Nietzsche/ Analytical Philosophy versus the inherent principles of knowledge that Einstein used based on Aristotle. It's also those principles - that allowed the level of achievement or lack thereof for each.

Summary- Either you can take my post as a compliment to your very insightful and intelligent post! PM me and I could give you a few ideas of things to read that would make you even better. Or take my post as a complete insult and ban me from the forum. Or finally, just take it as some ego-head rantings and ignore it completely. Or anything in between, either option is fine with me- no matter what I'm sure Bucket will have an insightful follow-up post!:)

P.S. Here is my condensed version- You've made one mistake in your post- you've chosen Mencken over Einstein.

And Yes, I know- "What does this have to do with Tomasello Swinging motion?!- I'm sure DG will scold me shortly and tell me to create my own thread- and the beat goes on!"

Have him call me at 867-5309. He tries to pull off the insanity thing every time he's in need of three squares and a warm place to sleep. No telling why his wife kicked him out this time. I'd be afraid to ask.

The Mencken quote was my attempt at satire. Mencken was a famous early 20th century American journalist, essayist, and political commentator who was well known for his use of satire and for his sharp critiques of American life and culture.

If I was to truly pit Einstein's Aristotelian principles of knowledge against opposite views, I would offer the priciples of knowledge that physicists Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and others developed. Einstein challenged these principles in what is often called the Bohr-Einstein debates. The debates were also referred to as Einstein's challenges against the standard or Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

How Bohr and Heisenberg reached their conclusions is over my head, but if their conclusions are right, then I think my forum entry stands its ground right up to and including the last paragraph. If you research Bohr's complimentarity principle, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and quantum indeterminism in general, you may conclude, like many Nobel prize winners in physics have concluded, that observation and measurement of phenomena, even at the macroscopic level, may remain eternally enigmatic. Einstein's most profound argument against indeterminacy may have been that he believed that God did not play dice.
