That is blatantly incorrect. The MMX was not the basis for SR. It is one of many experiments that is consistent with SR predictions. There are many such experiments. A quick search for experimental evidence for SR will reveal list and details of a multitude of such experiments. > This single fact is of vital importance.

Again, that is an outright lie. That analogy is NOT the sole basis for analysis of MMX.

The floats correspond to the MMX apparatus in the laboratory, fixed on earth which is (according to the aether theory of the time) in a stream of flowing aether (due to earths motion wrt the aether) > If this analogy (with respect to the motion > of earth in ether) is correct, then the > subsequent mathematics (that gives us the > famous Lorentz transformation) is correct. Hence the test .. if the values predicted by having the earth in a stream of flowing aether are found, then that would support that theory. If not, they would refute it. That no such result was found refuted the theory where the earth is in motion wrt the aether. > But is this analogy correct?

No .. the river bank is the earth and laboratory apparatus Remainder of argument is moot due to your total misunderstanding of the analogy. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

Nor anyones faith. BTW: Are you going to correct your article that has completely incorrect opposite interpretation of the river/bank analogy of MMX?

Relativity-belief requries not just faith, but folly or crminality. > BTW: Are you going to correct your article that has completely > incorrect opposite interpretation of the river/bank analogy of MMX? Are you all going to correct all your lying text books, research papers that are continuing with the preposterous lies that I have exposed in http://adda-enterprises.com/MMInt/MMInt.htm Once that is done, the rubbish of einstein disposed of that is, we can get to the REAL physics based upon my discovery of the true relationship between mass and energy.
