From: mpc755 on 5 Apr 2010 21:35 'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein' "What is fundamentally new in the ether of the general theory of relativity as opposed to the ether of Lorentz consists in this, that the state of the former is at every place determined by connections with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, which are amenable to law in the form of differential equations; whereas the state of the Lorentzian ether in the absence of electromagnetic fields is conditioned by nothing outside itself, and is everywhere the same. The ether of the general theory of relativity is transmuted conceptually into the ether of Lorentz if we substitute constants for the functions of space which describe the former, disregarding the causes which condition its state." http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html Einstein disregarded the causes which condition its state. The displacement of aether by matter causes its condition.

In other words, the article you are reading and responding to may NOT precede your article in my news reader. In fact that article may NEVER appear in my news reader because it may get dropped or blocked along the way. Many 'new' users of usenet arrive via google and are ignorant of the fact that usenet groups predate, and are distinct from google. -- bz please pardon my infinite ignorance, the set-of-things-I-do-not-know is an infinite set.

Time is a concept. The rate at which an atomic clock ticks has nothing to do with time.
