The laws of physics in the absolute frame are DIFFERENT than they are in inertial reference frames. That's what distinguishes the absolute rest frame.

Inertial frame of reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference "In physics, an inertial frame of reference (also inertial reference frame or inertial frame ) is a frame of reference which describes time homogeneously and space homogeneously, isotropically, and in a time independent manner. This allows motion and interactions to be described without the presence of fictitious forces. Special relativity states that there are actually infinitely many such frames, and the physical laws takes the same form as they do in any other inertial frame of the same handedness. In flat spacetimes, all inertial frames are in a state of constant, uniform motion with respect to one another". "By contrast, in non-inertial reference frames, the laws of physics are dependent upon the particular frame of reference, and the usual physical forces must be supplemented by what are called fictitious forces. All non-inertial frames are accelerating with respect to all inertial frames". Do read the reference, Ken. including the > absolute frame.

Seto--You really need to sit down and learn special relativity. There has never been an observation that contracts a prediction of special relativity. It remains a very fruitful theory and you should take the time to learn it, Seto. What is the experimental basis of special relativity? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html How do you add velocities in special relativity? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/velocity.html Can special relativity handle acceleration? http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/acceleration.html

Since there is no "absolute" reference frame, we have no idea (and neither do you) of what you are obsessed with. Whether a body is in motion or at rest depends strictly on the point of view of the observer.

Seto, do you know the difference between inertial reference frames and non-inertial reference frames? Inertial frame of reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_frame_of_reference |
