No because no "run away" effect. "inverted" mass means that the mass goes on the other side... gravity works the same there.

Or we could shift to an other side of the universe by "inverting" the mass of the ship where the speed of light is much higher[1]. Cosmology is so cool... too bad we do not have time for that: we cannot even cure the common cold!

Unfortunately, no... But the french used by Grothendieck is surprisingly simple : it should not be too much of a challenge with Google translate, a couple of months and some courage.

So much truth in here... Specially for the "just funded" startups : they loose their souls fast when the investors start to get impatient. It's a trap in so many cases.

It's a great idea and I think it's much bigger than maths. If you do not already know about it, searching around what a "Dynabook" is cannot be a waste of time. You may be interested in this kind of laying out a proof:

Misplaced but cannot comment under the original one. You wrote: "I don't take notes. (It's worth pondering whether taking notes is really an aid to internal remembering...)" This is fascinating. Somehow, when what is out

People I know think before they act and sometimes do better. They also see much more than an "industry" or a "product". Best thing of all: we may have ≠ POV and still not hurt each other. Freedom!
