Einstein's theory was based on that postulate and so the objection to that postulate was, as he described, an "objection against the Theory of Relativity". Cheers, Harald

Do you know the intended meaning of those words? Do you how the PoR was originally formulated, so that you can understand those words correctly? Harald > 2. Moving clocks run slow.

That sounds overly dramatic. Certainly the discover of an aether frame would undermine the basis for his Special and General Relativity (although they could still survive as approximate theories, good for macroscopic phenomena. This latter possibility is kind of weird, because SR is known to be accurate for describing the very tiny world of subatomic particles. Presumably the discovery of an aether frame would be relevant at the super-microscopic level in which quarks seem macroscopic.) But rejection of the generalized principle of relativity on philosophical or other basis would not have much impact on the physical theory of relativity. Physicists *DO* reject the generalized principle of relativity expressed as the requirement of general covariance because it is physically vacuous. -- Daryl McCullough Ithaca, NY

Aha. That's exactly what I was trying to express when you asked me to elaborate. Just how long have "physicists" felt this way, and when did they start reading my Usenet posts? :-) :-) :-) (I had an argument along these lines with John Baez years ago. I noticed another argument that I had with him -- to the effect that force is momentum flux -- later surfaced as an outstanding revalation in his home pages). |
