However, unlike Einstein's predictions, the experimental results would disagree with the predictions. For example, there would be a Glirdian relativity "twin paradox" that would not be observed. The corresponding Einsteinian "twin paradox" is actually observed. - Tim

Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are left to decide which is most applicable to you. There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill- filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the same spot and repeat the process eternally. This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry or crackpot theories without challenge. You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I purchase a new computer or hard drive. I'm fully aware that you may be so stupid as to reply, but the purpose of this message is to encourage others to kill-file fuckwits like you. I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't, damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day.

Ok, so I have shown in my thought experiment how it is better to describe nature as light traveling as a wave at 'c' relative to where the source *is* relative to the wave's interaction with the aether. I have shown how the behaviors of four wave fronts in two identical frames of reference is better explained by Simultaneity of Relativity. And what is the response? <crickets>

It tells me you can't see beyond the fish bowl you exist in. I have just shown, in my thought experiment, how light waves behave in nature. How the distance the light travels is from where the source *is* relative to the interaction of the light wave and the aether. My thought experiment explains away de Sitter's binary stars nonsense about the "extreme scrambling of their lightsignals". There is no extreme scrambling because a photon propagates away from each star at 'c' as a wave which soon after being emitted by a star is under the influence of the aether which exists around both stars and travels at 'c' relative to this aether. But do you care to know the truth? Of course not, if it is not what you have been indoctrinated into believing, it is incorrect. Of course, you can not find anything incorrect in my thought experiment except for the fact it is beyond your abilities of comprehension and intuition. |
