Relativity Example
This post has a completely worked out example of time dilation and length contraction, showing that it is perfectly consistent for each frame to view clocks in the other frame to be time-dilated. But the key fact is that relativity of simultaneity is an *essential* feature to make SR work. Without that, it really i... 10 Jul 2010 09:25

Physicist Comedians Take Colbert Report by Storm
From "13.7 - Cosmos and Culture" essay on threats to science ----------------------------------------------------------------------- But what of physicists who go on the Colbert Report and talk about time-travel and research in "string theory" as "reading the mind of God"? What of physicists selling us a 10^... 13 Jul 2010 02:12

Faust in Copenhagen " A struggle for the soul of physics", by Gino Segre
P 151 para 1: "Some uncertainty, ultimately linked to the fact that Planck's constant is nonzero, is always left over." What does this mean? There is something seriously out of balance with mankind physics- with what we theorize and perform in the reality of our experiments. ... 11 Jul 2010 10:29

Discrete Scale Relativity Beats QED on New Proton Radius Test
Read the latest issue of Nature [8 July 2010]. A new very high precision measurement of the proton radius is 5-sigma lower than QED-based expectations. QED-based value is 0.877 to 0.9 fermi New measurement indicates that the proton radius is 0.84 fermi. Decades ago Discrete Scale Relativity predicted tha... 10 Jul 2010 13:49

Proper Time at any rate
You could be in slower or faster time and you would never know the difference. The appearence is just the same. Even if time changed in a jump you would not know. This is science's proper time sameness. Flow time rate can jump in momentum exchange of energy. Mitch Raemsch ... 12 Jul 2010 00:53
