"In synch" in which system, Paul? (In STR, if they are
synchronous in system 1 they are NOT in synch in any
differently moving system.)

You KNOW you are right even though you are routinely wrong? Interesting.

....except your only evidence for this are curve fits of light curves in a
program with as many adjustable parameters as you need. Even when the
program gives you answers you *know* are wrong, like a fantastically wrong
distance to the star, you mutter 'extinction has happened' and ignore that
you are wrong. Even when you tell me personally that you hardly get all of
the light curves right, you are still correct?

You ignore all other experiments and observations that prove you wrong. You
are yet to even field a GUESS as to why Filippas and Fox's experiment does
not confirm ballistic theory despite the experiment being 45 years old, and
having been pointed out to you literally hundreds of times over the previous
decade.

Does that sound like science to you? Or the behavior of a crank?

So Henri, given you are sure it is one of those, why don't you establish
which? The methodology is well documented, and the figures are easily
checked in an independent fashion.

Atomic clocks of sufficient precision are easy to come by in 2010, so there
really is no excuse for you.

Ah, so it is another one of those 'willusions' that conspires to make
reality behave as if relativity were true?

Where does this confidence come from, Henri? You were just given an entirely
true scenario in which this is false, and you simply resort to assigning
blame to malfeasence or 'timing errors'.

Why Henri, were you not listening? Your 'original point' was that your
*THOUGHT* experiment (remember, thought experiments are not real
experiments) with the *ASSUMPTION* that synchronicity is absolute manages to
'show' that Einstein is 'stupid'.

Paul gave you an example in which simultaneity is broken. I've given you one
previously: Hafele-Keating, in which all you do is laugh and dismiss the
experiment with a handwave because you haven't figured out how to address it
despite a decade of it being shoved in your goddamn face.

What's "long". From here to Mars? How do you propose to lay out a
physical ruler from here to Mars?

There are no such things as perfectly rigid rods or perfect clocks,
even in principle, any more than there is instantaneous communication
even in principle. Just saying the words does not make it something
that is relevant to our universe.

That's in conflict with experiment. Assertion does not overrule
experiment.
