There is no requirement that there has been an infinite mass to test that theory. VELOCITY is one manifestation of energy which has never, and will never, cause even a speck of mass to grow bigger. You yourself acknowledged that when the SR divisor goes to zero, E becomes infinite. Now, why the change of heart? Is 186,272 miles per second an infinite velocity? If not, then, the E resulting from traveling such velocity can't be infinite either. Mathematical equations not relating to ENERGY can be quadratic, as you say, but NO energy equation can ever be anything but LINEAR! In the past you've argued that gamma rays have no mass. But all radioactive decay involves the release of gamma rays, does it not? And all radioactive decay LOWERS the atomic weight of the matter, does it not? Then, gamma rays must have mass, otherwise the radioactive decay would keep the mass the same! Having even one gamma ray, with mass, travel at very, very close to 'c' would, if SR is correct, require most of the energy in the Universe to make that one spec of matter go so fast. But, obviously, there is enough energy in a lone atom to cause that gamma ray to go so fact. To me, THAT is a more profound disproof of SR than your injected requirement that a near infinite mass is required before SR can be disproved. Violating the Law of the Conservation of Energy is the simplest and most profound disproof of SR to be had; credit one...

SR is a theory, not a quantity. A theory doesn't "go to" any number. What number does Coulomb's law "go to"? > There is no > requirement that there has been an infinite mass to test that theory. I said nothing about an infinite mass. Please check your reading again. > VELOCITY is one manifestation of energy which has never, and will > never, cause even a speck of mass to grow bigger. You yourself > acknowledged that when the SR divisor goes to zero, E becomes > infinite. Yes, but that divisor never gets to zero. It *approaches* zero. But it stays nonzero, and so the mass stays finite. > Now, why the change of heart? Is 186,272 miles per second > an infinite velocity? If not, then, the E resulting from traveling > such velocity can't be infinite either. Don't be ridiculous. Take a look at the quantity 1/(2-x). This quantity goes to infinity when x is quite finite and has the value 2. It doesn't require x to be infinite for 1/(2-x) to be infinite. Did you fail 5th grade algebra? > Mathematical equations not > relating to ENERGY can be quadratic, as you say, but NO energy > equation can ever be anything but LINEAR! But it IS, right there. KE = (1/2)mv^2. That's quadratic in v. Here's another one: Work = F * d = F * ((1/2)at*2). That's quadratic in t. > > In the past you've argued that gamma rays have no mass.

There are four basic kinds of natural radioactive decay: alpha, beta, gamma, and fission. > And all radioactive decay LOWERS the atomic weight of the matter, does > it not? Then, gamma rays must have mass, otherwise the radioactive > decay would keep the mass the same! No sir. Mass is not a conserved quantity, never has been. There is no law of conservation of mass. > Having even one gamma ray, with > mass, travel at very, very close to 'c' would, if SR is correct, > require most of the energy in the Universe to make that one spec of > matter go so fast. Nope, because SR does not say that the Lorentz factor applies to gamma rays at all.
