| Physics | Virilio | Sokal I 196 Physics/Virilio/Bricmont/Sokal: (P. Virilio, 1992)(1): ...with the new concept of the realtime interface, transparency changes its essence, because it is no longer that of light rays (the sun or electricity), but precisely that of the velocity of (electrons, neutrons) - elementary particles that propagate with the velocity of light itself. SokalVsVirilio: Unlike photons, electrons have a mass other than zero and therefore cannot move at the speed of light. Sokal I 197 Space/Time/Velocity/Virilio: (P. Virilio 1984)(1): "Remember that the dromospheric space, the space-speed, is physically described by the so-called "logistic equation", the result of the product of the displaced mass times the speed of its displacement, M x V." SokalVsVirilio: the logistic equation is a differential equation that is (among other things) studied in population biology; it is dx/dt=lx(1-x). It has nothing to do with M x V. In Newtonian mechanics, M x V is called "impulse"; Sokal I 198 M x V does not occur at all in relativistic mechanics. Dromospheric space is Virilio's invention. >Space, >Time, >Spacetime, >Motion.

| Science | Virilio | Sokal I 193 Science/Virilio/Bricmont/Sokal/SokalVsVirilio: although Virilio's sentences make more sense than Deleuze/Guattari's, what is presented as "science" is a mixture of stupendous confusion and wild fantasies. >Deleuze/Guattari.

| Space | Virilio | Sokal I 194 Space/Time/Relativity Theory/Virilio/Sokal: (P. Virilio 1996)(1) Virilio speaks of the emergence of a new type of interval, the interval of the type light (zero sign), the time interval (positive sign) and the space interval (negative sign). SokalVsVirilio: it is true that in the special theory of relativity, "spatial", "temporal" and "light-like" intervals are introduced, whose "invariant lengths" are correspondingly positive, negative and zero. However, these are intervals in space-time that do not coincide with what we normally Sokal I 195 call "space" or "time". >Theory of Relativity, >Space, >Time, >Spacetime. History/Virilio/SokalVsVirilio: Above all, the geography and "history of this world" are unaffected, and this has nothing to do with the "chrono-political regulation of human societies" either. The "very recent appearance of a third type of interval" is merely a pedantic allusion to modern telecommunications. Real-time/Virilio/SokalVsVirilio: the sentence "A representation is determined by a complete unit of measurable, commutating physical quantities" originates from quantum mechanics, not from the theory of relativity. It has nothing to do with "real-time" or "macroscopic logic".

| Terminology | Virilio | Sokal I 193 Dromocracy/Terminology/Virilio/Bricmont/Sokal: with "Dromocracy" Virilio describes the "rule of speed". SokalVsVirilio: Revel(1) pointed out that "dromos" does not mean "speed", but rather "run", "race". The mistake is probably due to Le Monde, since Virilio(2) gives the right meaning. Sokal I 194 SokalVsVirilio: Unfortunately Virilio confuses acceleration and speed.(3) For the correct use of the concepts of physics , mathematics, and set theory see >Sokal/Bricmont, >Feynman, or >Thorne, >Gribbin, >Hacking. 1.
