From: Peter Webb on 6 Jun 2010 21:28 I've been in science long enough to know that disciples of schools of thought usually dig in their heels on whatever they decide. Before I say more, I'll say I need to review the whole field myself and evaluate it after that review. _______________________________________ While you are at it, you should review the evidence that the earth is not flat. Get back to us when you have reached a conclusion. However counter-intuitive it may be to you, the earth is basically round and objects at high relative speed behave as predicted by SR. But review the literature yourself and make your own decision.

You might ask yourself, philosophically, why the term "non-fiction" is used instead of "fact" by the librarian population. > A disbelief in SR can very fairly be compared to a belief in a flat earth.

From: Peter Webb on 15 Jun 2010 08:28 I am just interested to learn that there are more people than I thought who object to Einstein and Relativity. The booklist is larger than I thought.... ___________________________________ Its all relative. How do books claiming that Einstein's special theory of relativity is wrong compare in number to those which claim that angels are real, or that Atlantis existed, or that people of earth will be reborn in a rapture? Idiot.
From: Peter Webb on 15 Jun 2010 20:25 Among my list of "doubter" books (see below) is actully one by Einstein himself... ______________________________ What makes you think it is a book which "doubts" Relativity? The title seems to evoke the book "Dialog concerning two new sciences" by Galileo, which was not a "doubter" book at all. The title/author is located very near the bottom, and I put a row of "X" both before and after that entry. I hope more people realize I was including a "real expert" who appeared, based on the title, to be trying to respond--as an expert--to those who had _objections_. I was even thinking about buying that book and reading it over any of the other books. ______________________________ What, you were actually thinking of buying a book and learning some physics? I bet you don't. The only evidence that seems to matter to you is counts of books you have never read on Amazon; its hard to imagine you taking the effort to actually learn something about the subject you like to post on.
