| The idea that gravity is equivalent to the ground coming up to meet a falling object is clear evidence of the failure of Relativity. Only the ball has gravity acceleration through space or weightless acceleration. The station does not accelerate through Earth's space to get closer to the train. The train comes to the station period. It can be tested by the clock. The station's clock will run fast or normal because it is not moving. The train's clock which has accelerated though will run slow by the Gamma factor of its speed. Compare clocks as the train passes the station. Mitch Raemsch Twice Nobel Laureate 2008 |

From the point of view of an observer on the moon, the earth is accelerated ever so slightly and the station clock slows down a tiny bit. -- Paul Hovnanian [Only registered users see links. ] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Procrastinators: The leaders for tomorrow. |
