It is 2010, Paul. Did you know that? Perhaps you could catch up to where physics is today, instead of in 1890.

Again, two points: - It elaborates on the fact that geometrical "space" is a concept that is based on our physical world, and not the other way round - It also provides commentary on the first message of this thread. > > Note: he evidently misunderstood the meaning of the expression > > "absolute space" but intelligent readers won't have a problem with > > that; and he makes a doubtful claim about possible 4D space that he > > next waters down, but which isn't relevant here. > > > [..] > > >> Then Lorentz came along and also gave it the > >> properties that it must compress all matter moving within it, > > > Amazing, still the same nonsense about "compression"! > > Blame Lorentz .. I'm not saying it is correct. You don't stop saying that he stated such nonsense. Where?

You keep on repeating the same nonsense about Lorentz contraction implying "compression". Harald

No one (not you or I) is disputing the observational apspects of SR, GR,or, in fact anything else. Instead the whole debate is about what causes the observed behavior. IOW, were debating the philosophical basis not the actual science. Boiling down my position on this succinctly as follows, 1. I take as given Maxwell's was on the right track when he posited a perfect (inviscid) fluid state with predominant vorticity. 2. I note the fact GR is founded upon a hydrodynamical expression for just such a perfect fluid. 3. We accept QM and SM Tenets that all material systems are nothing more that some form of complex oscillatory wave patterns and interacting fields. 4. Therefore given 1, 2, 3 above all material systems would, by their very nature, be completely dependent upon the local perfect fluid properties in which they exist. This, in turn, would make their properties appear and measuably, locally invariant. In other words, the EVERYTHING changes equally making everything measure invariant. It truly is, Dirac's dilemna... 5. Because of 1,2,3,4 Lorentz's postulates would simply be the natural behavior of such a system (the perfect fluid). No compression is required, or present. Fields simply conform to that shape as as Uno Ingard states so elequently in his article in Condon & Odishaw's "Handbook of Physics" So natured card not about what people thought they should see and behaved precisely as a perfect fluid medium should have. YES UNCLE AL, the perfect fluid of the aether has NO LORENTZ VIOLATION!!!! Paul Stowe |
