FR couldn't be disproved for a whole year against the entire world so I think the likelihood of GR being right is pretty much null.

GR makes testable predictions that are validated by observation. You have numerology. > >> What evidence is there that the speed of light in a vacuum is not c, >> Phil? > > The Hubble Sphere is enough showing GR is wrong. Phil, you don't know what you are talking about when you babble about 'the hubble sphere'. Hell, for some reason you think its' relevant to anomalous dispersion in pulsar signaling. > >>> E=mc^2 never really was proven, ... >> >> Theories are not proven, Phil.

So you have not, and you are lying about it. Don't you have something else to do, Phil?

Observers in non-inertial frames do not expect the principle of relativity to apply.

What you think doesn't matter, does it, Phil? GR doesn't prove itself by disproving others. Did you expect it should?

So you're basically saying SR works only as far as the MM experiment is concerned and nothing else. SR is consequently quite useless... > What evidence do you have that the principle of relativity is wrong, > Phil? - If you bring the MM experiment in orbit it won't work - Many discrepancies in time dilation of incoming probes were observed - GR not only doesn't explain the Hubble Sphere but doesn't even know its own cosmological constant - blah blah blah > What evidence is there that the speed of light in a vacuum is not c, > Phil? That's the other postulate. See above. > ? Even physical laws are not proven, Phil. Were you expecting that it > should be? This is quite a pathetic approach to solving problems if you can't even prove your equations and your own sanity. > What you think doesn't matter, does it, Phil? > GR doesn't prove itself by disproving others.
