There is no time dilation.
1. Clocks in different frames runs at different rates.
2. A clock second does not represent the same duration (absolute time
content) in different frames. In other words a clock second is not a
universal interval of time in different frames.

There is no physical length contraction.
1. The physical length of a meter stick remains that same in all
frames.
2. The observer assumes that the light path length of his meter stick
is the physical length of his meter stick and then he uses this
assumption and the SR equations to predict the light path length of a
moving meter stick is contractioned by a factor of 1/gamma.

IRT is a new theory of relativity. It includes the above concept for
time and length. A description of IRT is available in the following

That's what time dilation MEANS.

It isn't required that the clock second represent the same duration in
different frames. And you confuse "universal" with "absolute".

Nowhere is there *measurement* in this statement. Length contraction
is (indirectly) *measured*.

That IS time dilation!

General relativity is a fruitful tool to predict time
dilation agreeing with observations.

Force of gravity is the force of the displaced aether pushing back on
the matter which displaced the aether.

Motion of energy is motion of the aether.

Time is a concept.

It is Aether Displacement where aether is an elastic medium and is
displaced by matter and pushes back in an attempt to return to a state
of rest. The pushing back is gravity. Light propagates at 'c' relative
to the aether, just like any wave does in any medium. If you want to
call the motion of the aether flow science, go for it.

No. Einstein said it had to be immaterial in his Leiden lectures. And

Einstein had to say it was immaterial in order for Einstein to say
"the idea of motion may not be applied to [aether]". Einstein had to
say that or two frames of reference occupying the same three
dimensional space would not have the aether at rest relative to both
frames. What Einstein was incorrect about is two frames moving
relative to one another in shared space cannot have the aether be
motionless relative to both. It is physically impossible.

When you say everything is in the aether, that is exactly right.
Matter exists in the aether. Matter has displaced the aether which
would otherwise exist where the matter is.

Einstein also said the state of the aether is dependent on its
connections to the matter and the state of the aether in the
surrounding space.

What is the 'state' of the aether and the 'state' of the surrounding
aether if it isn't its state of displacement?

If we can't measure contraction it should not be considered a fact in
science.

There is no shrinking energy. No flat atom forms no contraction of
space.
The universe cannot go flat.

Well, first of all, science offers proof of nothing, so if you're

Secondly, indirect evidence is among the best in science for a variety

Hey wormy that's not time dilation....that's GPS second containing

Sam, I gotta agree with Ken.

Time *has* to be the same everywhere.*
The faster or slower aging of one system
over another just has to do with how fast they are
going relative to each other.
*They* have faster or slower pulses relative
to Time, which was already said in the
first part of the sentence when I said 'faster'.

Because Time *is* our monitor.

Sure I have a working theory. The GPS second is redefined to have 4.15
more periods of Cs 133 radiation than the groound clock second...this
is done to make the GPS second contains the same amount of absolute


time as the ground second.

The differences are:
1. clocks in relative motion are truly running at different rates.
That means that if clock A is running faster than clock B then clock B
is running slower than clock A. There is no such thing as mutual time
dilation.

Hey idiot the definition for time "time is what the clock measures" is
wrong....why? Because a clock second does not contain the same amount
of time (same amount of duration or absolute time) in different
frames.

We use physical ruler to measure length everyday. There is no need to
invent a rubber ruler so that you can make the speed of light to be

Hey idiot....light path length of a meter stick is frame
dependent....not the physical length as asserted by the runts of the
Srians like you. In fact modern interpretation of SR is that the
geometric projection of a moving meter stick is contracted....this is
equiavlent to the light path length of a moving meter stick is
shorter.

Time is our reference. Everything has this reference.
It cannot be different for any part or you no

Einstein did not say that the ether is immaterial. He said that we
can't assign the idea of motion to parts of it; which means that we
can't track the motion of individual portions. He was right about
that, but for a reason nobody pointed out: HIS aether was a
continuous compressible material NOT MADE OF or configured into
PARTICLES. (There is no way to track a portion of matter that is
easily dispersed into multiple directions, in each of which a smaller
portion of it flows.)

>< When you say everything is in the aether, that is exactly right.

In my terms, "aether" (ether) denotes the continuous aspect of a
material field whether or not particles are part of that continuum. As
such, it IS matter; the one and only kind of matter that exists.
Particles are made of this space-filling material, which they do
displace by their presence.

>< Einstein also said the state of the aether is dependent on its connections to the matter and the state of the aether in the surrounding space. >

If we let "aether" denote only the continuous non-particulate aspect
of matter, and let its "state" denote its local density, then he was
right about that.

>< What is the 'state' of the aether and the 'state' of the surrounding aether if it isn't its state of displacement? >

The "states" of matter are solid, liquid and gaseous. If the word
"aether" includes particles, then THEY are what constitute those
states of matter. (Amorphous matter has no such states.)
It is well known that the state of a group of particles (atoms and
molecules) depends on their relations -- connections -- to each other;
and so does the condition -- density and pressure -- of the
intervening easily movable resistively-compressible etheric matter.

Mitch, you can't decide what is fact and what is not fact based on
intuition and thinking.
The only way to tell -- and this is what science does -- is from
experimental evidence (direct and indirect).
You say flat atoms are impossible and inconceivable, but you can't
really KNOW that until you've done careful experimental tests to see
if that's really so. Nature is very surprising.

I've mentioned before the rapidity distributions of secondary
particles from hadron-hadron collisions in both fixed target and
collider experiments. This is explicitly looking at the very same

You didn't seem to absorb the statement made above. You went on ahead
to simply state, without any evidence one way or the other, that

The *distribution* of the secondary particles are seen to contract.
You can google "calorimeter pseudorapidity segmentation" if you'd like
to do some initial contact.

> I doubt this. There are no flat particles.'

This is the statement you simply cannot make without the benefit of
experimental evidence, Mitch. That's my point.

But you are wrong. Indirect evidence is not conclusive.

SR says they will be MEASURED to run at different rates, when measured form
other frames. Every clock runs at the correct rate for its own frame. It
is LET (of which you IRT is a bastardised subset that doesn't work) which
has acutal slowing of clocks in different frames. And it still gives mutual
measured time dilation.

So... how do you synchronise clocks in your 'theory'. How can I set up two
clocks some distance apart (but not moving relative to each other) and have
them in synch. How do you determine if they are in sych?

Yes, it takes more time to tick since the previous tick. That doesn't
mean time has changed. It just means the clock is running slower. If
you have a battery operated clock in your house and it starts to tick
slower has time changed, or do you replace the batteries?

Hey idiot....you got it wrong.....absolute time is absolute but a
standard clock second does not represent the same amount of absolute
time in different frames. That's why the GPS second had to be
redefined to make it contain the same amount of absolute time as the
ground clock second.

You move the clocks in the opposite directions with the same velocity
and stop them simultaneously. Such clocks will remain synchronized.
Or you calculate the time rate difference using IRT equations and set
the clocks before launch.

light path length is measured. Using this assumed standard the light

So absolute time is useless. None of our clocks show it and we don't know

But we don't know how much of this so-called absolute time there is in
either a ground clock second or a GPS clock second. All we can do is adjust
the ticking rate so they tick at the same rate. No need to know this
so-called absolute time at all.

And your theory says it will be shorter. And as the length of a ruler is
its light path length, someone moving with the ruler would assume the length
of the ruler is hosrter, because we just showed its light path length is
shorter. So your theory predicts length contraction.

There is no change in a ruler itself when it is moving .. differently moving
observers will measure different lengths for the same ruler. If the motion
of the ruler changes, different observers will say different things about
how the measurement of its length changed (some may say it is measured
longer, others shorter, some may say it is the same). However, any observer
that is comoving with the ruler will always get the largest measurement of
its length.

No such measurement ever been made....in fact it is impossible to do
so. SR predicts length contraction mathematically and prediction is
not a measurement. The modern SR interpretation is that no physical
length (material length) contraction. The geometric projection of a
moving ruler is contracted.....much like a longer ladder can pass
through a narrow door way by orientation.
You really need to keep up with what SR is saying before you keep on

Sure SR/GR do know that as follows:
N periods of Cs 133 radiation on the ground clock contains a specific
amount of absolute time. That same amount of absolute time is
represented by N+4.15 periods of Cs 133 radiation.

Clocks apart cannot be in sync unless they were originally out of sync

There is no way to make two spatially separated clocks to have the
same reading at the same instant of time. However, two clocks in the
same frame will run at the same rate. BTW that's the reason why
physicists refused to measure the one-way speed of light.
In SR Einstein assumed that the speed of light is isotropic and he
sync the two spatially separated clocks by sending a light signal to
the other clock and when the signal arrive at the other clock you
advance the clock to have a reading of L/c.

And we don't know how much of your 'absolute time' there is in the ground
clock second, or how much in the GPS clock second. All you know is that
their relative ticking rates are the same when measured by the ground clock.

But you can keep clocks in sync in SR by syncing them when together and then
moving them apart. You can't do that in your theory. Or by sending
known-speed signals between them; you could do that in yours, but then in
your theory, you wouldn't measure isotropic speed for light in that case
using those clocks.

Yes if you move them at the same velocity and stop them
simultaneously. IRT agrees with that. That's why I proposed
experiments to get two spatially separated clocks to measure the one-
way speed of light.

Fucking idiot...IRT posits that the speed of light is a constant math
ratio in all frames. That's why it is a super set of SR and LET. You

You don't have to know....all you need is that a ground clock second
represent a specific amount of absolute time. The pripose of the SR
math is to figure out the clock reading on the observed clock for that
specific value of absolute itme in the observer's frame.

The redefined GPS second contains that same amount of absolute time as
the standard groiund clock second.

No they are not the same....the GPS second contains N+4.15 more
periods of Cs133 radiation.

No idiot its you who don't understand science. No such measurement
ever been made. You use the term "measuure" to give credence to your
bogus theory.

So that means that no physical change to the material length of the
ruler....so the SR contraction is the geometric effect. Similarly in
IRT no physical change in the length of a moving ruler but the light
path length of a moving ruler is predicted to be shorter or longer
than the observer's ruler.

No fucking idiot....there is no such mesurement made.

So length contraction is not real.....it is a projectional effect.

It took 15 years for you to learn this. I'm so proud!

Einstein set up a theory of appearences. There is no space
contraction.

You just said that you can't make two spatially separated clocks have the

No .. it doesn't. Unless IRT has RoS, which you say it doesn't

But IRT will give different times for clocks moved apart at the same speed
.. they won't stay in sync

You say your theory has time slower at higher levels of absolute motion, but
not RoS. That means that moving clocks apart will result in them going out
of sync.

Then IRT is self contradictory, which we all know (but you won't admit)

No .. it is not. Otherwise it would predict all the things SR predicts ..
it doesn't.

You had a period instead of a comma .. that should have read "You are so

They adjusted the rate of the GPS clock ticking. That is all. They could
have done the correction in the receiver instead, but doing it in the
satellite is easier.

Calling that a "redefinition of the second" is blatantly incorrect.

Which we cannot know

Nope. Its for working out the relative times for two clocks. No need for
some third frame in which the time is called 'absolute'

You mean the clocks tick at the same rate

[typo, should have been "the ground observer"]

Yes .. they are.

And when measured by a ground observer, the ground click and gps clock tick
at the same rate
