Yep. The same Paul Andersen that can't figure out v = x/t,
Where x = 100000m and t = 2.2 microseconds, the life of a muon.
He thinks you have to slow the muon down with a scintillator to
measure its speed to make sure it is less than c.

Does the Paul Andersen that can't figure out v = x/t or
Asin(xt) +Asin(xt+180) = 0 have some black holes in his world?
Not surprising, I suppose. Observation means nothing to him. If
he can dream it then it exists.
What I'd like to know though is why a Wilson Can't Hack thinks he
needs a star that isn't in a tiny orbit at the focus of a 1/2 spiral?

You got that right, and Andersen is ineducable. He still can't figure v
= x/t.

Andersen cannot produce the desired result of x/t, so he slows the muon
with a scintillator.
Henri's program cannot reproduce an ellipse. Henri needs 20 or so lines
of code replaced. Not a big deal, but it will make an enormous
difference.

Henri produces beautiful and accurate ellipses. I sent you some more
coordinates. (The first were for e=0.25 not 0.5). Would you like to plot them.
I'll send the full 20000 if you wnat them.

What mistake? You think Kepler's equation is a mistake?
You think my ellipse centred on zero is a mistake?
You think my 1,000,000 points to your pathetic 70,000 is a mistake?
You think my finding V1493 Aql that you can't do is a mistake?
You think my 0.9999 eccentricity that you can't do is a mistake?

You've got a strange idea of what a mistake is.

What I'd like to know, though, is why a Wilson Can't Hack thinks he
needs a star that isn't in a tiny orbit at the focus of a 1/2 spiral?

No, it was "George, would you agree that ...". The
answer is that IMO your statement is incomplete.

The value of the interval, or "the amount of time
occupied by the orbit." as you put it later, is
what you are proposing as a standard for the
measurement of time, one unit.

Duration IS a measurement Henri.

And I explained that the "amount" is not the
same depending on how it is measured. You
are trying to wheasel your way around that
and hide the fact that your argument relies
not on the constancy of the amount but on
your assumption that the amount is the same
regardless of how it is measured.

You said some time ago that Pythagoras was a
result of direction not being absolute. That
means that even though there is fixed distance
between two dots on a piece of paper, you get
different values for x and y components when
you make measurements using coordinate axes.
The direction of the axes is not absolute in
the x-y plane.

The same is true of space and time, there is
a fixed interval between events but the time
and distance components vary depending on the
motion of the instruments measuring. for the
same reason, the direction of the t axis is
not absolute, it is tangent to the worldline
of the observing instrument.

Spacetime and it's contents existed but there
was nobody around to measure it in coordinates
called "space" and "time".

Not as long as it was more accurate than any

Look up what "invariant" means, you meant

There you go, trying to do your usual sleight

Two different values, both of which you want
to call "one". That doesn't work Henri, try
again.

If you don't measure it, it doesn't have a

Which amount are you calling "one" Henri,
there are two different values throughout
the experiment. They are both constant of
course.

However you want to express it, you cannot
assume something contrary to GR in order
to produce a falsification of GR. Assuming
both measured values will be the same does
that and that is why your argument is bogus.

> We certainly don't know that time is not universal.
> 'Now' HERE is NOW everywhere.

We know that spacetime intervals are invariant,
or in that sense as you said before, spacetime
is absolute (though coordinates aren't).
Splitting the interval into x, y, z and t
components depends on your choice of direction
for the axes, including the t axis.

The data is not suspect, it is what it is, but
derived values such as eccentricity would need
to be recalculated if your alternative model
might influence their values.

Nope, c+v is falsified by Sagnac and no amount
of matches would ever overcome that. Even without
Sagnac, your logic is inverted, to test the model
with binaries, you have to examine those that are
NOT variable. I taught you the logic in a recent
post.

Then by your own admission, you have not "already
