Quadratic residues, resistance, and Goldbach
|
|
|
Here's a good place to show you all why it's not just harmless fun with
the people who are so actively hostile against my research, as I've
gone off in another research direction, focusing now on
n^2 - r
where n is a natural number and r is a non-square natural number less
than n^2, as I'm focusing on quadratic residues that are not square.
How did I get here?
You may have noticed I posted a bunch of flawed conjectures about twin
primes, and even claimed proof a couple of times, when I had some
flawed arguments, as I brainstormed, looking for yet another math
result to break through.
So I go from flawed ideas about twin primes, to thinking about
subtracting from primes squared to noticing something simple and
obvious about the impact of quadratic residues that are not squares as
n^2 - r
can have as prime factor a p for which r is a quadratic residue or r
mod p is a quadratic residue.
It's a result trivially easy to prove, but it could have implications
for finding large primes.
Ok, so what reaction do you think I'm already getting from sci.math
posters who stalk my postings?
These people are anti-math and a lot of what you see in their replies
to me is just their hatred.
I related this research area to Goldbach's conjecture and found this
neat little result which is so simple it's amazing no one thought about
it before.
But do you think those posters who regularly reply to me give a damn?
They will fight to hide this result like all the others.
http://mymath.blogspot.com/
But it's this beautiful result relating the primes in p_1 + p_2 to the
factors of the composite C they add up to, and quadratic residues.
That's my proof for those of you on the fence about this, or those of
you who side with the sci.math people who go after my work, as read my
post there, and understand that these people hate mathematics, hate
mathematical discovery, and are just working--very successfully I might
add--to block human progress in this area.
How could human beings works to block further human progress?
I'm not sure, but read my latest research and understand that their aim
can be no other.

Sorry, James, this is false. As you know, mathematics is perfect |
and does not rely on human choices. It must be true *everywhere*.
But remember that aliens on the Planet Contrary might use
"quadratic residue" to mean what *we* mean when we say
"NOT a quadratic residue"! That would make your statement
false. But true mathematics can NEVER be false.
I guess you made a mistake somewhere. |

By the way, James, have you managed to find a job? Or were
the Alltel people right when they decided you were too dumb
to do anything useful? |

Claiming proof isn't part of brainstorming -- and you know that. When you
falsely claim _proof_ of a conjecture for which tiny counterexamples exist,
your reputation legitimately crashes. Saying "oh, but I was just
brainstorming!" _after_ the fact is a childish attempt to evade your
responsibility to the truth. Be a man.

I suggest people look for themselves. You started thread:
JSH: Goldbach, quadratic residues, brainstorming
in sci.math, posted in it at least 5 times, and there wasn't a single bit of
actual math in any of your posts to that thread. There were insults and
threats from you, and it's not surprising to anyone that you got insults
(but no threats) back in kind.

I agree with that. In addition, a lot of what I saw in your posts in that
thread was your hatred of them -- and that you started the off-topic thread.
Doesn't look to me like I hid it ;-)
I haven't checked your results there, but assuming they're correct, what
they _will_ do is ask you to make a case for _why_ it's important. You
clearly don't have an answer to that yet, since your own blog entry ends
with:
Is it a red herring, or a possible approach to proving Goldbach's
conjecture?
I don't know, but thought it was worth throwing out there.
Has anyone asked you to stop pursuing it? No. Have they responded to your
insults with insults of their own? Of course. Since this is always the
effect you induce, I figure you must want it.

Claiming proof is part of brainstorming.
The creative process is a messy one.
Part of the process is that when you think you have proof, you say so,
and if it turns out you were wrong, that's just another mistake.
It's like digging for treasure. As soon as you think you have gold,
you get excited, but once you test it and find out it's not, you move
on.
The entire point of the process is a LOT of ideas.
How you get them is less of an issue.
In my case I started thinking about various ways to approach the twin
primes conjecture, made a lot of mistakes, ran into a lot of fool's
gold, but I kept going, and ended up working on quadratic residues.
What just happened here was a textbook case of brainstorming and
problem solving at its highest level.
That some of you have very bad educations is not my problem, but your
hostility and continual attempts to interfere in the process, are.
You don't understand it, so you express contempt for modern problem
solving.

This example is just the latest, and for once, I decided that I
wouldn't dump the info on Usenet, as I realized that the result was
nice enough, and simple enough, while relating to Goldbach's conjecture
that I could just put it on my blog.
I dump info on Usenet when I'm in the process trying to refine results.
In this case, I'm merely seeing Usenet as a route to publicize the
result, as it's not necessary to continue refinement.
But there are plenty of cases where I have gone into detail explaining
the mathematics with my results, and ignorant people who hate the
process have deliberately interferered in a behavior that is just
primitive, anti-discovery, and antagonistic to modern problem solving
techniques.
You people deliberately tried to interfere with my research out of your
ignorant small-mindedness.
There is one journal dead because of you people, and who knows what
other damage you've done.
But you may soon find all of you are accountable, as the technology
exists to just go through and find all of you, all over the world, and
I think the governments of the world should take that on as an
important task, to understand fully what happened here.
And what almost happened, as discoverers like me are necessary for the
advancement of the human race. Throughout history these dumb battles
get fought, and history has depended on the discoverer figuring out how
to win, else we wouldn't have these computers to argue these things
about, as they would never have been developed.
I think it's past time that society put in just a few more protections
for people like me, and gave some consequences to the
anti-intellectuals who always challenge us.
But, whether they do or not, the line of discoverers always finds a
way.

Wrong. Claiming proof without having a proof, and knowing you didn't
have a proof is lying.

and if it turns out you were wrong, that's just another mistake.
|
When you think you have a proof, check. It isn't to hard to try a few
examples and see if your proof holds up. A few dozen or hundred even
better. I found a counterexample to your twin prime "proof" in one try.
I guess you have never been in a business where actual brainstorming
went on. I have.
This is the way it would go if you were in cahrge of a brainstroming
seesion at a major company.
1) You would tell the employess that no ideas will be shot down, you
welcome every idea, no matter how wacky it might seem.
2) The first employee throughs out an idea.
3) James takes this first idea, and runs to the CEO with it and tells
him he has the solution to the problem. The CEO looks at it and laughs.
He asks,"is this a joke". James gets really defensive, calls him a
moron, tells him that he had a paper published in an online, peer
reviewed journal, and proclaims that he is a genius.
4)CEO calls security and has James removed from the building.
5) James is halled kicking and screaming from the building saying that
everyone will pay for treating him that way, he knows where they work,
and the world will punish them for stifling his genius. |

And sure enough! This is more or less what happened at Alltel,
where James was fired because all of his ideas were so stupid.
I wonder how he supports himself these days. |

Actually there are plenty of protections already iu existence
for people like you. But you have to go to a special place
to get protected. It's a nice place - it's a place where
nobody _minds_ that you wear a tin-foil hat to keep the
government from spying on your thoughts. I'm certain you'd
find that they have the appropriate respect for your
research there.
