One doesn't owe a disproving to nonsense. FR has to compete with prevailing theories on the metrics that theories are measured by. If yours doesn't compete, it doesn't. It isn't owed a disproof. One can't disprove God, either. That doesn't make God a viable scientific theory.

And since it contains no means by which it may be falsified, it is not science. Epic fail. <plonk>

The article says it is possible traveling faster-than-light but no information can be transmitted. So if this phenomenon is actually observed then you can call it a clock tick, which is: INFORMATION. |
