Roberts has been asked on other occasions to provide his calculations, but he never seems to do so.

When it comes to debunking the nonsense posted about all this, its not exactly necessary. Why should people do this guys physics for him? -- Just \int_0^\infty du it! -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Why do the cranks demand that SR/GR be either 100% accurate for _everything_ (and make predictions about everything) *or* it must be nonsense? What theory is "perfect" if SR/GR isn't?

Dmitri Rabounski from "Regress in Physics" certainly is. On relativity subjects he publishes only the antirelativistic refuse from mainstream journals, like Rg Cahill's garbage. He's a great admirer and friend to Reg, by his own admission.

Who would not want to be a great admirer and friend of the Man Who Turned The Scientific World On Its Ear? http://www.scieng.flinders.edu.au/cpes/people/cahill_r/Steene.pdf | "Flinders University theoretical physicist Reg Cahill has | turned the scientific world on its ear by claiming he has | found science's Holy Grail - the fabled Theory of | Everything." :-) Dirk Vdm |
