A measurement necessitates reference to a standard. When you count 10 fringe shifts, what does that mean, if you don't compare it with some standard count? Love, Jenny

Assume you have a body temperature of 98.6 degF. Measure the apparent temperature very carefully, and the difference will be indicative of your acceleration. > Remember, you aren't allowed to reference anything > to abnything else. How about assuming something about your local physics? >> Counting fringe shifts is absolute - no reference >> required. > Counting is not the same as measuring. You are kidding, right? "microfine transitions of a caesium atom" is not a measurement? The odometer of your car counts the number of times your wheels rotate, but this is not a measurement? > A measurement necessitates reference to a standard.

Let's recap. You don't like relativity because you think it is complicated. For you, complicated is Bad. Disputing complicated is Good. Disputing complicated with a simple disputation is Extra Good. You like simple. Simple is Good. So you claim to have a simple physics, which must be Good because it is simple. > I didn't > disprove Einstein to get your, or anyones acclaim. I did it to STOP > the incredible waste of manpower in 'teaching' relativity. What waste of manpower? The only one that seems to be wasting manpower is you. Whose actions besides your own have you influenced? What impact have you had whatsoever? What are the practical, documented manpower savings you have produced? > There are > no "rubber rulers" needed to understand my new physics. And you say THAT as though it were commendable. Are "rubber rulers" complicated? Does this make them Bad? > Those who > want simple truths should be rejoicing! Why do you think people who want simple truths are entitled to them? Nature is as simple as it is, and no simpler. Wanting it to be simpler does not make nature simpler. PD

You can fly in the wrong direction all you want. Some of us will simply be noting that you are flying in the wrong direction, and then watching you continue to do it. > But to do such, one must do more than "make a claim".

One might as well try to teach arithmetic to a river stone. This is not a forum for "Shut me up if you can" or "Convince me I'm wrong if you dare." If that is the game you want, I hope you like solitaire. > Can you string more than two > sentences together to do that?

The estimate of the universe's mass doesn't come from Newton's law of U. G. Please do catch up. And I'm curious why tangles of something massless have mass, as you say. > Correct that, and you can > stop the insane searches for mass. NoEinstein |
