Workshop is dedicated to discuss and refine one of such possible new Reasons, the Relativistic Dialectic. It consists of the main workshop on Reason and of two satellite-prerequisite workshops on Logic and on Relativity. Satellite workshops intend to foster lateral thinking, understanding of the gist of rationality, of science and of scientific attitude. Education System damps on students hay stacks of formulas without explaining, or wrongly explaining such basic concepts as differential or vector. Most students follow the established pattern of parrot like repeating cryptic formulas. A handful overcome it rethinking all from the scratch by themselves. But that's extremely difficult if you are facing the reverend Parrots alone. Workshop intends to offer a platform allowing to help one another in this effort. And to prevent losing effort and sometimes whole life running after chimeric products of childish ignorance. A member of a concerned list says in so many words: "I could see in my mind's eye that electric and gravitational fields might be two faces of the same thing." hinting that this "vision" founded a "theory" to which he dedicated years. If there were something like our workshop at that time, he would learn in five minutes that his "vision" is a badly formulated SR postulate of Extended Relativity and could dedicated his life to something more worth while than trying and failing to rediscover SR, GR, QT and QFT.

Structure of workshop

=======================================================================
Workshop consists of 3 levels:

1. Foreground:

A dedicated list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/workshop_fg as well as any list of which I am member (as I am workshops coordinator). Foreground is not mediated.

2. Background:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/relativisticdialectics/  
Background is mediated and contains filtered contributions downloaded from Foreground. It's supposed to be much less volatile than Foreground, but may be modified on valid request.

3. Depository:
encompassing for safety two sites:

WORKSHOPS

  http://213.69.121.236/myarchive/ or http://members.fortunecity.com/georges/

Depository is supposed to be stable, but may as well be modified on very pertinent requests.

Start by having a look at Depository.
Opening WORKSHOPS you will see:
GLOSSARY
REASON
RELATIVITY
LOGIC
NOTE: LOGIC and RELATIVITY are satellites of the
main REASON workshop.
I would have a look at LOGIC workshop which is
quite advanced and contains rather surprising
ideas.
We are currently at RELATIVITY workshop with
chapters:
STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC THEORY
AXIOMS OF SR
DERIVATION OF LORENTZ TRANSFORMATIONS
DERIVATION OF SPEED CUMULATION
DERIVATION OF E=MC**2
MEANING OF MATTER, MASS, ENERGY
PARADOX OF LANGEVIN's TRAVELLER
SPECIFIC AXIOM AND DERIVATION OF GR
KANT, EINSTEIN AND SPACE
ACTION / REACTION OF FIELD AND SPACE
FASTER THAN C
We completed
STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC THEORY
AXIOMS OF SR
DERIVATION OF LORENTZ TRANSFORMATIONS

The above describes the state of the Depository from a few weeks ago. Recently, triggered by great interest in some lists, this UK site proposed to maintain the Depository in a different, more user friendly format. This new Depository is under construction, but the Logic part is ready. Depository in my above mentioned sites stays for the moment in the old state, but will be gradually updated to become contents-compatible with the new one.
