From: BURT on 7 Apr 2010 22:17 The Olympic runner cannot say that while he was running the race he was still and the Earth did it. And you cannot make walls move by moving yourself toward a wall. All of this means relativity is wrong. Mitch Raemsch

Uncle Ben ================================================= Nonsense, Galileo lived 400 years ago. "It is essential to have time defined by means of stationary clocks in the stationary system" - Einstein. tau = t * sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) tau is the time of the moving clock. xi = x' / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) xi is the expanded length of the moving pole that didn't fit in the barn and got even longer when it moved. 300 years of physics overthrown by the amateur critic Uncle Albert, but that's history, not news. Right, Uncle Bonehead? -- Uncle Androcles, professional engineer.

Flat atoms is another SR physics that is a botch. Mitch Raemsch |
