SR is consequently quite useless... Not at all. It works in thousands of applications. If you think that there are only two -- the MM experiment and experiments with a significant change in gravitational field -- then you are sadly unaware. > > > 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 What makes you say that? > - Many discrepancies in time dilation of incoming probes were observed Name one. > - GR not only doesn't explain the Hubble Sphere but doesn't even know > its own cosmological constant This doesn't have anything to do with the principle of relativity, Phil.

None of those are measurements of the speed of light in a vacuum, Phil. What evidence is there that the speed of light in a vacuum is not c, Phil? > > > ? Even physical laws are not proven, Phil.

I'm sorry if you were under the impression that physical laws were proven. Perhaps you need a first year course in the scientific method. > > > What you think doesn't matter, does it, Phil? > > GR doesn't prove itself by disproving others.
