From a logical point of view, the birth of Einstein's theory of relativity consists in a single illegitimate act: the substitution of a false proposition of the ether theory ("The speed of light relative to the observer is independent of the speed of the light source") for the true antithesis given by Newton's emission theory of light ("The speed of light relative to the observer varies with the speed of the light source"). Accordingly, if the arguments of the theory were valid and if experiments were performed and interpreted correctly, and if science were democratic, any experiment would either refute or fail to confirm the theory of relativity. Yet since science is totalitarian, all experiments gloriously confirm Divine Albert's Divine Theory. Examples:

In 1887 (the ad hoc length contraction hypothesis is not advanced yet) the Michelson-Morley experiment confirmed the assumption that the speed of light varies with the speed of the light source and refuted the assumption that the speed of light is independent of the speed of the light source. Nowadays Einsteinians teach that the experiment has confirmed the latter assumption.

In a gravitational field the speed of light varies like the speed of cannonballs so a frequency shift of phi/c^2 must be measured. The Pound-Rebka experiment confirmed this prediction but Einsteinians teach that the experiment has gloriously confirmed Divine Albert's Divine Theory.

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2010AAS...21530404H
"In January 1924 Arthur Eddington wrote to Walter S. Adams at the Mt. Wilson Observatory suggesting a measurement of the "Einstein shift" in Sirius B and providing an estimate of its magnitude. Adams' 1925 published results agreed remarkably well with Eddington's estimate. Initially this achievement was hailed as the third empirical test of General Relativity (after Mercury's anomalous perihelion advance and the 1919 measurement of the deflection of starlight). It has been known for some time that both Eddington's estimate and Adams' measurement underestimated the true Sirius B gravitational redshift by a factor of four."

When cosmic-ray muons bump into an obstacle so that their speed instantly changes from about 300000km/s to zero, their forced and quick disintegration makes Einsteinians sing "Divine Einstein" and go into convulsions. Why? Simply because rationality in today's science is so devastated that, as the muon undergoes such a terrible crash, Einsteinians can safely say 'Lo, a muon at rest' (nobody cares to contradict them) and infer that non-crashing (moving) muons undergo time dilation and for that reason live longer than crashing ("at rest") muons. Sane science would compare the short lifetime of muons "at rest" with the short lifetime of a driver whose car has come to a sudden stop into a wall.

The official lie: Einstein was able to predict, WITHOUT ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHATSOEVER, that the orbit of Mercury should precess by an extra 43 seconds of arc per century:

http://physics.ucr.edu/~wudka/Physics7/Notes_www/node98.html
"This discrepancy cannot be accounted for using Newton's formalism. Many ad-hoc fixes were devised (such as assuming there was a certain amount of dust between the Sun and Mercury) but none were consistent with other observations (for example, no evidence of dust was found when the region between Mercury and the Sun was carefully scrutinized). In contrast, Einstein was able to predict, WITHOUT ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHATSOEVER, that the orbit of Mercury should precess by an extra 43 seconds of arc per century should the General Theory of Relativity be correct."

In fact, Einstein changed his theory several times until eventually it "predicted" the known-in-advance precession. According to Etienne Klein, if Popper's criteria had been respected, the theory's failure to account for the precession of the perihelion of Mercury should have led to its rejection:

http://alasource.blogs.nouvelobs.com/archive/2009/01/26/l-erreur-d-einstein-la-deuxieme.html
"D'abord il [Einstein] fait une hypothèse fausse (facile à dire aujourd'hui !) dans son équation de départ qui décrit les relations étroites entre géométrie de l'espace et contenu de matière de cet espace. Avec cette hypothèse il tente de calculer l'avance du périhélie de Mercure. Cette petite anomalie (à l'époque) du mouvement de la planète était un mystère. Einstein et Besso aboutissent finalement sur un nombre aberrant et s'aperçoivent qu'en fait le résultat est cent fois trop grand à cause d'une erreur dans la masse du soleil... Mais, même corrigé, le résultat reste loin des observations. Pourtant le physicien ne rejeta pas son idée. "Nous voyons là que si les critères de Popper étaient toujours respectés, la théorie aurait dû être abandonnée", constate, ironique, Etienne Klein. Un coup de main d'un autre ami, Grossmann, sortira Einstein de la difficulté et sa nouvelle équation s'avéra bonne. En quelques jours, il trouve la bonne réponse pour l'avance du périhélie de Mercure..."

Steve Carlip: "It is well known that the deflection of light is twice that predicted by Newtonian theory; in this sense, at least, light falls with twice the acceleration of ordinary "slow" matter."

This implies that, in 1919, Eddington's results rejected the variation of the speed of light predicted by Newton's emission theory and confirmed the twice-as-great variation predicted by Einstein's general relativity. Is that true? Of course not. First, Eddington fudged the results - the effect was actually too small for him to have discerned. Second, forty years later, the Pound-Rebka experiment unequivocally showed that light falls with the acceleration of ordinary matter, as predicted by Newton's emission theory of light:

http://www.einstein-online.info/spotlights/redshift_white_dwarfs
Albert Einstein Institute: "...you do not need general relativity to derive the correct prediction for the gravitational redshift. A combination of Newtonian gravity, a particle theory of light, and the weak equivalence principle (gravitating mass equals inertial mass) suffices. (...) The gravitational redshift was first measured on earth in 1960-65 by Pound, Rebka, and Snider at Harvard University..."

Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud: "Le monde entier a cru pendant plus de cinquante ans à une théorie non vérifiée. Car, nous le savons aujourd'hui, les premières preuves, issues notamment d'une célèbre éclipse de 1919, n'en étaient pas. Elles reposaient en partie sur des manipulations peu avouables visant à obtenir un résultat connu à l'avance, et sur des mesures entachées d'incertitudes, quand il ne s'agissait pas de fraudes caractérisées. Il aura fallu attendre les années 1970 pour que de nouvelles méthodes parviennent enfin à fournir des preuves expérimentales solides de la relativité."

That is, for more than 50 years the experimental confirmation of Divine Albert's Divine Theory was complete fraud but then, in the 1970's, absolute honesty was established in Einsteiniana and Divine Albert's Divine Theory was gloriously and irreversibly reconfirmed. Opponents of the Divine Theory have nothing to say - they can only join the Divine Choir:

xxein: Belief makes measurement into the belief of the believer. It
is experimental interpretation guided by a belief to make a
measurement correspond to that belief.

M and M were fooled by what was really happening while P-R forced/made
observation to comply to a belief.

You have no certain knowledge of how to do a scientific investigation.

What is the cause of gravity? Why/how does it affect our clocks and
measured distance to make measurements (well that falls under a
belief, doesn't it)?

Why did Pioneer become an anomaly? Did Einstein get his Nobel with a
false belief?

If you can shove belief behind, you may have a chance of understanding
the reality of the physic.

Until then, I suppose we will suffer your posts as a weak attempt to
convert readers into your feeble belief.

I am also glad to be in the company of John Baez. Pentcho Valev

“A few years ago John Baez, the main ideologue in Einsteiniana, found
it suitable to inform the world that the science he had preached up
until then was going to become schizophrenic - Baez had no more
confidence in it and shifted allegiance accordingly:
http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_5.html
John Baez: "On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which tries to
explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum mechanics
into account. On the other hand we have General Relativity, which
tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics into
account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track but
until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or both,
OUR PICTURE OF THE WORLD WILL BE DEEPLY SCHIZOPHRENIC. (...) I
realized I didn't have enough confidence in either theory to engage in
these heated debates. I also realized that there were other questions
to work on: questions where I could actually tell when I was on the
right track, questions where researchers cooperate more and fight
less. So, I eventually decided to quit working on quantum gravity."
John Baez quitting Einsteiniana is like Tomas de Torquemada quitting
the Holy Inquisition. How did the scientific community react? There
was no reaction. The era we live in can be called the era of
Postscientism: theoretical science is long dead, once flourishing
false theories quietly disappear, there is no sane replacement, nobody
cares. Einsteiniana's dignitaries have already abandoned the Divine
Theory but keep this secret. Still hints do leak out now and then: “

Wrong. The momentum changes, the length changes, the kinetic energy of
the rod changes. If the rod is charged, then its electric field and
magnetic field both change. Lots of things happen to the rod.

At worst, people have called out the fact that you are poorly educated
in even freshman physics, and yet you feel properly positioned to
question intelligently relativity and quantum mechanics. Nobody has
called you a monkey. If you want people to call you that, then your

Hold on here. Look at what you've done. You've not read Baez directly,
you've only read a shallow snippet of what Baez said from Valev (who is
himself deeply and openly dishonest), and so you have NO idea of the
context of Baez's statement, and furthermore YOU DON'T CARE to look it
up. (And if you look, you dishonest troll, you will even see the places
where Valev has snipped important parts of what Baez said.) The second
thing you've done is to claim that Baez has done something he has NOT.
Baez said he has quit doing active research on quantum gravity. This in
NO WAY says he believes that relativity is wrong, and in fact if you
would ever read anything that Baez has produced recently, you would
IMMEDIATELY see that this is the completely wrong conclusion.

Tamhane, you have become a dishonest spin-monger propagandist. Like
Wilson, you feel free to lie openly or say anything, as long as serves
to push the needle your way. If you do not look yourself in the mirror
and ask yourself, "Tamhane, what has happened to you? Where is your
dignity? Where is your sense of honor and self-respect?" then you are
hiding from an ugly truth.

It's pretty simple. Freshman physics is what is taught to freshmen. What
is taught to freshman is codified in textbooks used to teach freshmen.
Thus, you see, it is not simply a difference of opinion between you and
me. There is an external reference. Which we can always refer to, to
settle the argument.

Now, you may want to say that you have a right to call freshman physics
what YOUR MIND produces. But, no sir, that is not freshman physics. That
is the bastardized crap that your mind has produced. Do not confuse what
your mind has produced with freshman physics.

If calling you out for not knowing freshman physics is uncivilized, then
so be it. You yourself have said that you have never seen many of the
examples and lessons that are ROUTINELY taught in freshman physics, and
so you confess yourself that you do not know freshman physics to the
degree that most students have. If acknowledging what you say yourself
is uncivilized, then so be it. You yourself have said that you have
grave misgivings about what is taught in freshman physics. If
acknowledging that you do not believe freshman physics is uncivilized,
then so be it.

I think it is sufficient and proper for Tamhane and others to openly air
the fact that Tamhane has deep misgivings about freshman physics, and
that Tamhane has not benefited from the education that most other
students get in the basics of physics, and yet Tamhane has felt
self-qualified enough despite this to write a book about relativity,
complaining that he doesn't understand what it says.

Science isn't a debating exercise. If you think that debate is how
science is done, then you're an even bigger fool than you've

Yeah, but your miss the point apparently. They only change because they
are 100% rigid fixed! This is what relativity says

Isn't it interesting what you consider civilized?

Do you consider it civilized to state that relativity is WRONG, and to
have the audacity to write a BOOK about it with pretense of expertise,
when you do not understand what relativity says?

Do you consider it civilized to state that relativity is wrong, when you
have not understood even classical, freshman physics, and you have open
questions about that?

Do you consider it civilized to demand people treat your misstatements
as honest questions from an inquisitive student, when you have not asked
honest questions and you are not interested in the answers? Do you
consider it civilized when you want gentle and polite answers, when your
statements (not questions) are neither gentle nor polite?

Do you consider it civilized to call others monkeys and members of a
religious cult and (by quote to B Russell) therefore idiots, when you
know NOTHING about science yourself?

He did not miss the point; he is trying to get around it. He is too
religious to tolerate attack on physics, which he treats as religion.
He forgets that physics is science and not religion. In fact it is
crime to treat it as religion. According to him there is nothing
wrong in physics. This means that all theories are gospel for him. He
will argue that he is not against proper replacement. These views are
contradictory. If he thinks that there is nothing wrong in present
theories how he can accept alternatives at the same time. This is
plain hypocrisy.

Get around what? His statement is wrong, and I said it was wrong.

If someone says that 2+3=11, then the statement is wrong, and saying
that it is wrong is not trying to "get around" any point that 2+3=11.

Whoa, there! I never said that. What I *do* find funny is that you are
looking for fault in simple concepts in freshman physics and looking for
fault in special relativity.

If someone believes that the earth is 6600 years old and is not round,
then he will get laughed at, especially if he's asking questions about
cosmology and astronomy. This doesn't mean that scientists don't think
there are no open questions in cosmology -- just not about the age of
the earth and its shape.

Part of the art of being a good scientist is knowing where the good
questions are.

You do not want to discuss. You are making *statements* that relativity
is wrong, and that it is run by religious zealots. That is not an entry
to discussion -- you who complain about lack of civility.

To discuss something, you have to know something about the subject of
discussion. In recent weeks, you have both demonstrated and admitted
that you know nothing about relativity and that you do not understand
the tenets of freshman physics either. This puts you out of position to
DISCUSS anything about relativity, though it does put you in the
position to ASK POLITE QUESTIONS about freshman physics and about
relativity.

For some reason, this rankles you. You do not want to ask questions
about things you do not know about. Instead, you want to have your
pretenses honored and to DISCUSS it like knowledgeable people would.

Don't be an idiot. If I defend to the teeth that 2+3=5 and is not 11, is
that treating arithmetic as a religion, when religion is anathema to
arithmetic? If I tell you what terms like "inertial reference frame" and
"field" MEAN and you do not believe me and want your own meaning to
those words considered valid instead, is that treating those terms like
religion? If I tell you that a theory is the most successful one to date
and passes all *scientific* measures of validity, is that adherence to
the scientific method then treating it as religion?

If you want to say that it is right to ask whether the earth is flat,
that is right to ask whether 2+3=11, whether it is right what "field" is
not properly defined by physicists, and that anyone who defends against
those statements is a religious zealot, be my guest. You'll elevate
yourself among the ranks of the Hysterical Whiners.

Momentum and KE and length and electric and magnetic field all have the
same status. If one is not an intrinsic property of the rod, then
neither are the others.

The measurable properties listed above certainly change.

I'm FINE with you saying that the rod doesn't change with observer. But
the length -- that measurable property -- certainly does.

What's stupid is to say
1. The rod doesn't change with the observer.
2. Property X is an intrinsic property of the rod, because I fucking say
so, that's way.
3. Therefore property X cannot change with observer.

Science isn’t a debating exercise but a branch called physics is.
Physics has to carry this unfortunate cross on its back because it is
the only science that must supply fundamental theories. If you are
against this concept then you are not a physicist.
In every theory there is a weakness and possibility of replacement.
That is why physics must oblige to face debate.
Henry’s ideas are not half baked and ill conceived. Sometimes there
can be a mistake. Because unlike you, his way of pursual of science is
different. He likes to examine and only those who are intelligent
pursue this path. Others are satisfied in learning by rote.
His posts suggest that he has a good thinking mind. Why anybody should
get offended simply because he questions validity of SR. I can’t
understand this emotional binding. When emotions did became part of
physics?

basic understanding of what science is and how it operates.

Bullshit, again, Tamhane. You want to turn physics into philosophy,
whose fundamental truth is determined by REASON. That is crapola.
Physics is no different than other sciences in the application of the
scientific method. There are weaknesses and the possibility of
replacement in ANY science, whether biochemistry or geology or particle
physics. The method for doing that is with the scientific method.

But I suspect WHY you want physics to be different. It's because you
have an interest in physics and you don't have an interest in
biochemistry or geology. And you want it to be accessible to you because
you're interested in it. And you want to make a fundamental contribution
to it, and so you have to make it different than the others to become
accessible to you. And what you know you have at your disposal is
REASON, and so you want the fundamental questions of the subject you're
interested in to be decidable by REASON alone. You don't want to be
bothered with all the mess and details and laborious learning that the
other sciences would require.

DO NOT LIE TO YOURSELF. Physics is science. To make a contribution to
science of ANY kind, you have to learn how to do science. Pretending
that physics is different, more like philosophy, is foolishness aimed
only at soothing your ego and giving you hope for success.

Note there is more than one person who believes the earth is flat. Does
this reassure one of them, knowing that there is another who believes

There is more than one person who believes we never landed on the moon.
Should that be reassuring to those who believe that?

You've not pointed to any! All you've done is made statements where you

Does it occur to you that in the past you never saw a *correct* point

If three students in a class of 30 have the same (common)

converting horizontal motion into vertical motion, then defending

Not every question is worth answering.

When you make statements about relativity that are wrong, and it is
obvious that they are wrong because you don't know what the words mean,
or that you think they are wrong because they conflict with the
teachings of Aristotle, then those statements ARE NOT WORTH REBUTTAL.

You may, if you are lucky, get a suggestion on how to correct your
misunderstanding of the words used by reading a particular book. If you
do not want to read a book and want answers only on this newsgroup, you
will find little interest and LOTS of open mockery. If you object to the

If you object to this pattern, then ask yourself who is responsible for it?

Because you are posting them OFF-TOPIC in a relativity group. If you
want to have anyone discuss your doubts about freshman physics, then ask
them in sci.physics and hope for the best that someone will think the

If you think it is malicious to not answer your questions about freshman
physics on a relativity group, then you are a fool. If you think it is
malicious to not treat your comments about relativity seriously when you
don't know what the words mean and you have problems with freshman
physics, then you are also a fool.

By comparison, even a moron would do better. Why you are bringing in

It is extremity in foolishness to say that rod adjusts its length

You are wrong. I don’t have any intentions while I made those
statements. On the contrary by rejecting reason in physics you are
making science subservient to the whims of some physicists.
Be honest! Take a look at yourself. Most often people are discussing
theoretical part in this newsgroup. In any case there is very little
math in SR. In case, SR is just a model as tom says then why you are
so much disturbed when somebody says SR theory is wrong?
When somebody says SR is wrong they make a point based on reason and
if it is just a model you would just say, well that is the
inconsistency in the theory but at present this is the only model we
have.
You don’t take this approach. You try to justify that inconsistency.

Henry says that earth cannot possibly be flat and you say that it is
flat. Of course you know relativity but what you don’t know is that it
is wrong. Simply because YOU say that it is correct, doesn’t make it
correct.
Once again I wish to remind you that you were the person who was
guilty in bringing up the topic that was classical mechanics. And even
that you fumbled at. This is because of your philosophy that doesn’t
allow reason, which means that nobody has permission to think over the

In this thread he used diversion tactics. He is a very bad physicist
but a seasoned politician. Main question was, how can Muon face a
contractred length? In the stationary frame if the length AB is fixed
and if Muon has to travel this distance, how could it have travelled
this distance but at the same time lesser than this distance. This is
only possible if by some magic, there is a new path A’B’ for Muon,
which is lesser than AB. But a stationary observer has seen that the
Muon has travelled a distance AB and the Muon was on no other path.
Muon also agrees that it took the same path. According to SR this
length AB is in continuous contraction in various proportions to suit
all the different velocities.
Unless mathematical equations or geometry relate to reality, it should
be treated as wrong.

No relativist has EVER claimed that. Don't be an idiot.

What is claimed is that one's perspective view of the rod, that is, its PROJECTION in three-space, varies according to one's motion.

Do you have any issue with the fact that a photograph of a rod, that is, a two-dimensional PROJECTION of the rod onto a surface, shows the projected image of the rod as being different depending on the position (mixture of x,y,z) from which one views the rod?

Add a time dimension. What makes you have such an issue with the fact that the PROJECTION of the rod onto a three-dimensional volume shows a different length depending on the velocity (mixture of x,y,z and time) from which one views the rod?

We just don't normally see these effects because the time dimension is disproportionate to the x,y,z dimensions. In other words, at all ordinary speeds that we can reach, our perspective of the rod has hardly changed at all.

The Michelson-Morley experiment has two possible explanations: length contraction and emission theory.

However, all variants of emission theory have been excluded by experiments specifically designed to test for their effects.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory

Therefore, the Michelson-Morley experiment provides a direct, quantitative measurement of length contraction.

So what? Don't believe everything you see.
Nothing happens to the rod no matter how many moving observers look at it.

> Do you have any issue with the fact that a photograph of a rod, that is, a two-dimensional PROJECTION of the rod onto a surface, shows the projected image of the rod as being different depending on the position (mixture of x,y,z) from which one views the rod?

That is completely irrelevant and merely a a spatial effect.

Time and space are not related.

That article was obviously written by someone with the scientific aptitude of Pigdog.

All claimed refutations of ballistic theory are now themselves refuted in my ongoing thesis, www.scisite.info/new ballistic theory.html

As you are aware, I had already squashed the Sagnac myth about BaTh here: http://www.scisite.info/ringgyro.html.

A recent addition to BaTh is that 'fields' are made of an 'aetherlike' substance that has the ability to modify the speeds and properties of any light passing through. The stronger the fields, the greater the effect.... So extinction (unification) is not dependent so much on the density of matter in the region but rather on the strengths of local fields.
It is fanciful to think that individual photons retain their original shapes and sizes for maybe billions of years. Rather, the new BaTh considers that they slowly merge into the sea of other EM moving in roughly the same direction, combining speeds and reinforcing their own wavelength range into a broad web-like wavefront.

Let's look at what it said.
"One's perspective view of the rod, that is, its PROJECTION in three-space,
varies according to one's motion."
A projection is like a shadow or a map, one dimension is lost as we produce
a shape in only two dimensions. The projection of a rod can be a rectangle,
a circle, a hexagon and its shadow changes based on the position of the sun.
But what's a projection in three-space if not the rod itself to itself? No
dimension has been lost so its not a projection. Why capitalise? Okay,
what it means is the projection onto the retina, but that varies according
to one's position, motion has nothing to do with it.
Then the idiot says you should not be an idiot when you point out that by
the PoR the Einstein length expansion of the rod is caused by the moving
observer who sees the rod coming toward him.
Of course you did set him up for it, but that's the fun you are having.

contraction and emission theory.

Yosemite Samuelson
===========================================================
So when the front of the rod moves from 1 to to x and the back of the rod
moves from 0 to vt so that the length of the moving rod is x-vt = 1, and
according to Einstein the length of the moving rod is (x-vt) divided by a
number less than one, namely sqrt(1-v^2/c^2), making the length of
the rod greater than x-vt = 1,
xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = 1/ 0.5 = 2 because v = 0.866c,
MMX disproves Einstein's idiotic math by providing a direct,
quantitative measurement of length contraction which is not
Einstein's length dilation, the third possibility, correct?
You never could count to three.

At some velocities the rod can become a black hole. At least density
should increase so much that it should pierce the ground. Does this
actually happen? If not doesn’t measurement made from the moving frame
apparent?
And what about Earth? If the Muon is falling on the equator, there is
no globe that rotates around an axis but there will be a disc that
will be seen as rotating. On the other hand, for the Muon falling on
the North Pole, shape of Earth will be entirely different.
And what about time? For a Muon Earth will almost stop rotating.

Excellent point indeed! Projections are the coordinate components and
not the vector or a metric itself.
But strictly speaking, in the Muon’s frame, length of the rod is split
into two components. Part remains a length and part is converted into
time. How can this happen?

You have to understand the significance of Einstein's flawed RoS before you can fully appreciate the extent of the stupidity.
The claim is that even though nothing happens to a moving rod, its end are not the same distance apart at the same instant in the rest frame.

Measurement of the STOPPED muon lifespan is such a simple experiment that it is part of the standard undergraduate physics curriculum. One STOPS muons in a plastic scintillator and measures the difference between time of entry and the STOPPED muon's decay. In a classroom environment, the STOPPED muon mean lifespan of 2.2 usec is typically confirmed to about 5 percent.

http://www.advancedlab.org/mediawiki/index.php/Muon_Lifetime
http://mxp.physics.umn.edu/s01/Projects/Muon/muonfinal1c.pdf

High precision measurements have determined the STOPPED muon lifespan to a part per million.

In a classroom environment, the STOPPED muon mean lifespan of 2.2 usec is typically confirmed to about 5 percent.http://www.pma.caltech.edu/~ph77/labs/exp15.pdfhttp://www.advancedlab.org/mediawiki/index.php/Muon_Lifetimehttp://mxp.physics.umn.edu/s01/Projects/Muon/muonfinal1c.pdf

First you will have to make basic physical sequence clear. Is the Muon
moving towards the ground or the ground is moving towards Muon?
