The edit that could be made in my original post would be to italicise twist to look like it was twisted. ed

Why does the not work? Please. ed

SU(N -> infinity), etc...


Unitary group theory in three dimensions, U(3), is positively, definitely real and it is observed to twist and behave chaotically. Supersymmetric unitary group theory SU(11) most probably contains all physics. SU(N -> infinity) contains itself. N = dimension count.

Coffee, anyone? I'll see if I can locate a tap...<SMILEY TYPE="zoom"/>

Nope, not here... ed

Newolder,

This is what your article looks like in GuideML curently. Please notice that you have used the Italics command around ed and that ed is in fact italicized when you view your article normally.

To get into using GuideML to format you article, I suggest:
1. Edit the article
2. Change from text to GuideML
3. Change skin to Brunel
4. apply changes
5. This will bring up some intuitively obvious icons for footnote, tables, bold, paragraphs. page returns etc.

Adding italics to twist is not going to satisfy the peer review fanatics...They will start yelling at you to remove your article unless you post and agree to try to expand what you have written and make it more comprehensible...I hate to see that happen to new people...anyway welcome and please edit and explain further.

Here's an example http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A5316798 of an aricle I wrote recently to give you and idea of what kind of thing goes into peer review.

Cordially.

You're very welcome Newolder.

If I were you, here's what I would do now:

1. Withdraw your article from peer review. Make a post and tell them all you were new and didn't understand the conventions or guidelines. smiley - sadface

2. Rewrite the article into a blockbuster explanation that the average Joe with no knowledge of the subject and slightly above average IQ would want to read and could understand. smiley - evilgrin

3. Resubmit to peer review and gloat as your article is admired and respected by all. smiley - smiley

Best wishes,

Did you mean to type okay, Ok, OK, 0K or something else? No need to reply. ed.

Actually my spell-checker seems to prefer OK to Ok, but both are Okay with me. I think it's a UK English speller checker anyway.

P.S. I've added you to my Friends. Hope that's fine with you? ed.

I added you to my friends list a couple of days back so I can't really object. I'm anxious to see that article of yours laid out for the masses...

About the OK...I was getting competitive about being a man of few words and short posts...If you came back with something even shorter, I was planning a completely blank post as my next response...that says it all, I think. bob.

Sorry to have kaiboshed your plan that way, Bob, but hey, since the alternative, as you indicate, is absolutely nothing at all I thought -who cares what I write? It's all available in print (Penrose, 2004) anyhoo. i = (-1)^1/2 (Ancient history), e^(i pi) + 1 = 0 (Fourier), i^2 = j^2 = k^2 = ijk = -1 (Hamilton), T = i theta (Hawking) etc... ed.

P.S. What is the keyboard shortcut to the Greek symbol for pi, please?

How 'anxious' are you, I wonder? Care to be the second author on the article? Do the BBC rules in virtual-space allow such collaboration? ed.

It says here that the CTRL + p is the keyboard shortcut for Pi.
I'm afraid I don't know what that means, When I studied math it was with a slide rule before keyboards were on anything but typewriters. What does it mean?

It's actually pretty easy to collaborate. You just create an article then add additional researchers, giving them a listing and edit rights. I'll put an example on your space.

Look at your personal space and you will see that it appears that you have written an entry called "Bits of Borrowed GuideML Code"...You should be able to edit the entry.
