| Space | Baudrillard | Sokal I 169 Space/war/Baudrillard/Bricmont/Sokal: Baudrillard 1995(1) p. 50: "It is most extraordinary that the two hypotheses, the apocalypse of real time and pure war, and the triumph of the virtual over the real, are realized at the same time, in the same space-time, both in bitter pursuit of the other. It is a sign that the space of the event has become a hyperspace with multiple refraction and the space of the war has clearly become non-Euclidean." Non-Euclidean geometries/Sokal: were developed by Riemann, Lobachevsky and Bolyai in the 19th century. Here there can be either an infinite number of parallel lines or no parallel lines at all. Sokal I 170 SokalVsBaudrillard: What could this metaphor mean? What would a Euclidean war room look like? As a side note, the concept of a "hyperspace with multiple refraction" does not exist in mathematics or physics. Baudrillard: speaks of "ominous curvature", "spherical shape of time", "imperceptible distortion of the gravitational field"...(2) "through this hyperbolic curvature, the century also escapes its end..." Memory/History/Baudrillard: ...to this we owe the (...) impression that the events have fallen into a memory hole. This failure of memory undoubtedly results from the inversion movement, from the parabolic curvature of the historical space. ( Baudrillard 1994(2) S. 38). Sokal I 172 History/Space/Baudrillard: Baudrillard speaks of the fact that in the non-Euclidean space of history no end can be found. Sokal I 173 SokalVsBaudrillard: Among other things, Baudrillard again uses the chaos theory and Benveniste's thesis on the memory of water. First, the chaos theory in no way reverses the relationship of cause and effect. Nor does it have anything to do with the thesis about the memory of water. End of History/Baudrillard: Thesis: ...even if it is the Last Judgment, we will not reach our destiny. We are cut off from our destiny today by a hyperspace with variable refraction.... Sokal I 176 SokalVsBaudrillard: In summary, Baudrillard's work contains a plethora of scientific terms that are used with complete disregard for their meaning and, most importantly, in a context in which they are clearly irrelevant.

| Time Reversal | Baudrillard | Sokal I 171 Time Reversal/Baudrillard/Bricmont/Sokal: (Baudrillard 1991)(1): Baudrillard speaks here of a reversibility of the causal order...triumph of effect over cause.... "floundering and fuzziness of laws"... "possible reversibility".... SokalVsBaudrillard: It is difficult to decide what Baudrillard means by "reversing" a physical law." In physics, one speaks of the reversibility of laws as an abbreviation for "invariance to time reversal. This applies to all physical laws except that of the weak interaction. >Symmetries/Physics. Sokal I 172 However, this is already valid for Newtonian mechanics. On the contrary, a new discovery is that of the non-reversibility of the weak interactions in 1964. Causality/Sokal: Anyway, the reversibility of the physical laws has nothing to do with an alleged "reversibility of the causal order". ((s) explanation/(s): Physics is represented in equations. In these equations there are no causes and effects.) >Causality, >Time, >Cause, >Effect, >Natural laws, >Physics. For the correct use of physical concepts see >Sokal/Bricmont. 1. J.
