The math works, but what it means is sometimes less than clear... Note that some in this newsgroup tend to think that SR postulates an aether as well, and posit an alternate theory, usually Newton-compatible, that "removes" that aether. -- #191, [Only registered users see links. ] Windows Vista.

We all know Einstein substitutes increasing time di-l--a---t----i-----o------n for acceleration to keep one speed of light in empty space alive with all its attendant paradoxi. This, Kolker calls "science", the shitheaded idiot. What about giving up one speed of light? Oh no, that's too ****in' simple. Best to invent ****ing mysteries. -- This message is brought to you by Androcles [Only registered users see links. ] |
