[edit] Crewtherian Entropy Law

A bit of nonsense by one of Rod Crewther's students at the University of Adelaide. Possibly written while he should have been taking lecture notes (note the references to lecture-speech, etc.). I think it is really a speedy candidate but I'll put it here just in case. -- RHaworth 01:59, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a very educational page. Note that the links to the mathematical and physical concepts introduced are real. -- 192.43.227.18 2005-09-15 03:21:11 (Author of the article)

Tell you what Mr/Ms 192.43.227.18 - create an account and we will happily let you move the article to User:your user name/Crewtherian Entropy Law. Creating an account also means you will be able to disassiociate yourself from vandalism by other undergraduates. -- RHaworth 04:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: While there might be some logic in the article, it seems to be esoteric; and possibly secluded to only the school mentioned. Furthermore, not to claim that I am an expert, but I collect ‘Second Law Variations’ (see list) and I have never heard of this variation. Also, I checked Gribbin’s Encyclopedia of Particle Physics, Baierlein’s Thermal Physics, and Seiden’s Particle Physics, and found no results. No results at Dogpile.com either. To me, it seems like an article that needs to be published somewhere (with example applications included) so that I could read it as a thought piece. --Wavesmikey 06:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

It is a j-o-k-e, sir - don't even look for sources - even Rod Crewther has never heard of it. -- RHaworth 07:59, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete see: "Let C be the space generated by the Weyl characters in the representation of the lecture-speech of Rod Crewther, known as the Crewther-space" and "This has been physically interpreted by Murray Gell-Mann, Crewther's supervisor, to imply that the exposition style of Crewther is completely non-deterministic, and infinitely discontinuously incomprehensible." This is an elaborate (though I think good-natured) joke about the man's lecturing style. Marskell 09:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, inside joke, not encyclopedic, not BJAODN material. Barno 23:30, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: Don't knock it until you've tried it. Sit through a lecture series by Rod, then and only then can you delete it!
  • I'm sorry I don't know if we can count this unstamped vote which seems to imply "if its a fair joke, leave it!" Marskell 09:25, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
