Re: electric charge



OK - My cover is blown!

Seriously, the idealist Bishop Berkeley, a contemporary of Newton, believed
in the objective reality of only thinkers and thoughts - for him there is no
external objective reality (correct me, if someone knows him better).

My comments do not question the existence of objective external reality -
rather, they recognize what are (at least to me) some self evident
limitations of our knowledge of the external world.

In my view. Adnamaics is the very reverse of what a distinguished
educator like Bob should be putting his name to.

What does Adnamaics mean?
