The talk is disappointing because Ken just reads straight from the
slides. He also pronounces clock as cock and second as sucking which
is alarming when a page contains 5 instances of "clock second".
15 minutes into the talk, he seemed to be crossing out some of his
text and drew what appeared to be a penis in the top right of a slide,
which i put down to him saying "clock second" so many times. Then
appeared text: "Ken is a moron", "Ken is a crank", "CRACKPOT", "10
years and still a moron".
I have to admit, it was hilarious and only someone from this newsgroup
could have done it.
So come on, spill the beans, who was it?
I missed the presentation.
Did someone capture this?
Dirk Vdm
It was hilarious and pathetic, as expected...
> Did someone capture this?
It will be on line soon in the NPA Web site.
Anyway, here is a screenshot taken at the last second of
the "conference" :
There was a "joker" drawing/writing slanders on the slides. Obviously
this "joker" has a maturity mental problem and is to weak to control
them, unlike the others who may disagree with Seto's stuff but can
refrain from slanders.
But I blame the presentation system since it is trivial to block
"whiteboard" sharing and giving access only to the presenter.
With visual and sound illustrating how mentally sick he is...

You're right. Anyway it should have been obvious to anyone, even
to the rednecks who organized this "conference" that Seto was
unable to answer to any question. Especially not mine (= Ben
Taylor) about closing velocity, coordinates and absolute rest.

These guys from NPA are nuts in computing as well as in science.

I'd love to think it was Ken himself who did it. If the whole
invention of the Seto persona throughout the years was an
elabolate hoax, it would clearly rate as one of the best trolls
ever. Either way, David de Sheister and the NPA look like total
buffoons, so it's hard to not to see the production as a
resounding success. Thanks, Ken!

If I knew there'd be an open whiteboard I would have suffered through the
presentation.
I will forever imagine his voice whenever I read something he writes, which
makes it hilarious instead of just pathetic.
You are right. His real voice is not hilarious, it's pathetic. This guy
is deeply sick, both mentally and physically.
It was painfull to see him almost unable to read his own slides (what he
basically did all the conference long). Not to speak about the way he
handled questions. Even nuts from NPA have noticed how a poor fool he
is.
Sorry about that...
"I am Spartacus!"
I am one of at least four different individuals who "participated" in
Ken's fine presentation. Someone (not me) first posted a link to
Dirk's immortal fumbles, and then started doodling on the screen.
At that point, I noticed the drawing tools on the right of the
screen, and tried them out. I had only just awoken, and remembered
that Ken's presentation was at 10 AM (EST). I noticed right away that
Ken reads (very badly) off his own slides, a mortal sin for even a
freshman in college.
The science Ken presented was his usual "IRT is a subset of SRT"
nonsense. A relative of mine was responsible for some of the drawings
on the slides, and such words as "SEX" and "BOOBS". I drew the
rectangles, triangles, and the words "Tully loves me."(A Sesame Street
reference)
However, we didn't write "Eric Gisse rules" (way to go, Eric!) or
the many comments about "Cock seconds", though I wish I had.
I got kicked off twice; apparently, the moderator thought that
there was ONE hacker, when there were actually several.
I almost felt bad for the moderator, as you could see the sweat
pouring from his brow, as he tried to maintain control of a situation
spiralling violently out of control. Ken tried, at several points, to
answer questions by referring to slides that had been severely
defaced, so severely that, he could barely find his own work amongst
the graffitti.
The moderator confessed to not "being a tech guru", which was the
understatement of the year, since all the "hacking" merely used tools
that were publicly available on that site.
I do feel some small pangs of regret for ruining Ken's big
moment, so, for anyone who might have been offended, I SINCERELY
apologize, and promise never to do it again.
And I missed all this :-((
I notice that the "video" is available at
http://www.worldnpa.org/php2/index.php?tab0=More&tab1=Media&tab2=Display&id=189
but it's only sound and slides... no heads & online drawings.
Didn't anyone run a screen video snag of the entire thing?
Dirk Vdm
Sorry, I didn't. I didn't realize that the presentation would be that
entertaining until the middle. Hearing Ken's voice live was a treat,
too. I'll never be able to read one of his posts again without the
sound going through my head (like those old movies where you see a
letter on the screen, and hear the words spoken by the writer...)
Ken's knowledge of physics is only barely exceeded by his facility
with the English language.
I've posted a Youtube clip of part of the presentation, but wasn't
expecting the strange comments and drawings on the slides after 0:50:
Genius over turns 100 years of Relativity theory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyg8ZoEfcp0
Got it.
Pity it's so short.
But thanks.
Still can't decide whether I should feel sorry for or amused over
Ken ... (:(
Dirk Vdm
Man, Ken Shito is as stupid in real life as in this NG :-)
It has the signature of a well-known troll exposed both here and in
Wikipedia.
Congrats xxxx you did me laugh :-D
ROTFLOL....the runts of the SRians in these NGs came out in force to
destroy the slides of my presentation. This is clearly an act of
desperation....they failed to give a convincing arguement at the
internet about the flaws of SR so they resort to disrupt my
presentation.
BTW the defintion for a runt of the SRians is as follows:
A moron who thinks that SR is a religion. An idiot who doesn't know
the limitations of SR. A mental midget who can't comprehend beyond
what he was taught in school. An imbecile who follows the real SR
experts around like a puppy and eats up their shit like gourmet puppy
chow. An asshole who will attack anybody who disagrees with SR.
Ken Seto
Glad I'm not one of those then
So I guess I can decide now not to have to feel sorry for Ken :-)
Thanks, Ken - you're a real sport!
Dirk Vdm
Yes indeed....you are a runt of the SRians because you claimed that
there are different closing velocities between the bomb and the light
fronts from A and B. This violates the isotropy of the speed of light
in the ship.

If it was only half true... Your mistakes are archived in Internet
togheter the corrections and arguments to your nonsenses :-D
It is clear they were merely bored by your "presentation" and this
message from you show your "desperation".
Really worrying... I had ken down as someone bright and fesity, able
to think for himself quick on his feet. Then after seeing his
presentation, I see him as an ageing old man lacking the vitality to
pick up a relativity book and study it for a few years and THEN
creating his own theory. Now I've seen erics picture: I had him down
as a bright graduate, maybe in the middle of a PhD and into all things
worldly. After looking at his pic, he really does look like a sad,
lonely virgin loser with no friends, with only his physics books and
burgers to give him comfort.
Thank FUCK you don't know what I look like cos anonymity is fantastic

You say

So, your IRT contains a subset in which the postulates are
violated by its own concepts.
Doesn't that hurt, Ken?

IRT math contains SR math and thus IRT gives the same prediction as
SRT...that's what I mean SRT is a subset of IRT. The bogus concept of
relativity of simultaneity is not needed to explain all the paradoxes
of SRT. Why? Because IRT says that there is no physical length
contraction and no absolute time dilation.....the GPS uses absolute
time to synch the satellite clock with the ground clock....the GPS
clock second is set to have 4.15 periods more period of Cs radiation
than the ground clock second. This redefinition of the GPS second is
designed to make the GPS second to contain the same amount of absolute
time as the ground clock second.

So IRT contains a subset with a bogus concept.
And it still doesn't hurt.
Remarkable.
Dirk Vdm
Why should it hurt???? SRT is based on false assertions and IRT
eliminates these false assertions.
Ken Seto
>
> Dirk Vdm

Can't. If it contains SRT as a subset, then it HAS to contain those
assertions. Then by claiming that the assertions are false, IRT
automatically becomes self-contradictory.
There, that was easy.

Ken, feeling sorry for you does not mean abstaining from criticism of

seriously off track.
PD
According to your theory, if A moves with velocity v in B's frame,
then B doesn't move with velocity -v in A's frame whereas SRT depends
upon B moving with velocity -v in A's frame as a fundamental
postulate.

A's clock second has different duration than B's clock second.
Therefore they will not measure the same v wrt each other. Besides the
sign in front of -v for A is arbituary assigned by B. From A's point
of view B moves with -V_a.
BTW when B asserts that A moves at -v is an assertion....not a
postulate as you asserted.
Ken Seto
I was typing quickly, so I reversed the order - sue me. It is
difficult to care about writing about nonsense properly. On the other
hand, what I wrote is actually accurate (within your world view).
Though you insist that SRT is a subset of IRT (making IRT a superset
of SRT), in reality, since you deny one of the two fundamental
postulates of SRT (as best I can follow), IRT would have to be a
subset of SRT. (Draw Venn diagrams if you have trouble following
this). This means that itwould not necessary have the same
predictions, and you can't automatically use SRT's experimental
results as a support for IRT.
BTW, great talk - next time try not to read off your slides word for
word.
On the other hand, as Dirk, PD, and others have tried to explain to
you, if SRT is a subset of IRT, and SRT is fundamentally
contradictory, the failures of SRT AUTOMATICALLY undermine IRT.
No idiot.....IRT includes the predictions of SRT and more and that's
why IRT is a superset of SRT. The equations of IRT are valid in all
environments including gravity. IRT gives different interpretations
for time dilation and length contraction and that's why IRT does not
rely on making contradictory assertion to explain the paradoxes of SR.
This is similar that SR math is based on LET math but SR give
different interpretations than LET.
Ken Seto
It's a postulate as in being recognised as an assumption that may be
false, whereas an assertion is simply stating something to be true.
The speed of light being the same in all frames is a postulate in SRT,
not an assertion, for example.
> IRT math contains SR math and thus IRT gives the same prediction as

That is well know. However, many of the math you do in your own theory
is wrong.. you make many math calculations but some are correct.
> The bogus concept of

That to is well known. Even Einstein claimed that. Some prefer to use
SR, some dont.
>Why? Because IRT says that there is no physical length
> contraction and no absolute time dilation.....
Again, Ken, you misunderstand or mis-calculate in your own theory. IRT
does say that there is "physical" length contraction and time
dilation.
Right when you said that from B's point of view A moves at -v is an
assertion....not a postulate.
Ken Seto.
No this is not well known. The barn and the pole paradox need the RoS
to resolve. In IRT there is no paradox.....the pole does not fit into
the barn no matter how fast it moves.

You are wrong....IRT says that the physical length of a meter stick
remains the same in all frames. What is changed according to the IRT
observer is that the light path length of a meter stick moving wrt the
IRT observer.
Ken Seto.
Look above. I said:
"According to your theory, if A moves with velocity v in B's frame,
then B doesn't move with velocity -v in A's frame whereas SRT
depends
upon B moving with velocity -v in A's frame as a fundamental
postulate."
Can you see where it says postulate?
Yeup .. I agree, those posts based on your appearance are just low.
I may not agree with you when you're wrong, but that does not mean such
personal attacks are at all justified.
There seems to be a problem here.
You say IRT contains SR as a subset. SR definitely asserts that the
pole does fit in the barn (and equivalent experiments have been done).
Therefore IRT contains the statement that the pole fits in the barn.
Yet IRT also contains the statement that the pole does not fit into
the barn, according to what you just said. Therefore, IRT is self-
contradictory.
Even a 3rd-grader can see that.
I don't normally read your post. The reason is that you sent a
threatening letter to my Daughter which I turned over to the FBI. I
answer this post because you made false statement about my theory.
> You say IRT contains SR as a subset. SR definitely asserts that the

No the modern interpretation of SR on length contraction is that the
geometric projection of a meter stick moving wrt the observer is
contracted.....not the physical length of the moving meter stick. This
new interpretation means that the meter stick is not physically
contracted. This new interpretation agrees with the IRT interpretation
that the light path length of a moving meter stick is shorter than the
light path length of the IRT observer's meter stick.....the light path
length of IRT observer's meter stick is assumed to be the physical
length of his meter stick.
> Therefore IRT contains the statement that the pole fits in the barn.
No ....the new SR interpretation says that the physical length of the
pole does not fit into the barn.....the geometric projection will fit
into the barn.
The IRT interpretation is that the light path length of the moving
pole is predicted to be shorter than the barn and thus it is able to
fit into the barn. However, the physical length of the pole is not
able to fit into the barn.

What do you mean by 'the physical length'. If you refer to the space
physically occupied by the rod in the barn frame, then the length of that is
physically shorter. If you mean the intrinsic inherent length of the pole
(in its own frame), then it is not

Sorry, this is in no way a "modern" or "new" or "different"
interpretation of relativity, and moreover it is wrong. The statements
of relativity have not changed.
The statement of relativity is that the pole DOES fit in the barn,
regardless whether you call it a physical contraction or a geometric
projection or changes the physical length of the pole or what.
The statement of relativity is that the pole DOES fit in the barn.
IRT claims that it does not.
IRT then is buying into an internal contradiction if it includes SR as
a subset.

SR makes no such statement that the physical length of the pole does
not fit into the barn. Wherever did you get that fool idea?

No geometric projection is not the physical length of the pole. A long

The physical length of a meter stick is its material length.

No....that's geometric projection the pole is never physically
contracted (shorter) as viewed in any frame (including the barn
frame).

Intrinsic length is physical length is material length. Material

The SR interpretation that the geometric projection of the pole is
contracted is equivalent to the the IRT interpretation that the light
path length of the pole is shorter than the barn length.

The geometric projection will fit into the barn but not the material
length. When you orient a long ladder through a shorter door way its
material length is not changed.

Can't you read? IRT says that the light path length will fit into the
barn but not its material length. The length contraction equation in
IRT predicts the light path length of the moving pole. Similarly the
length contraction in SRT predicts the geometric projection of the
pole not its material length.

Do you think Ken is making this up? I remember the initial presentation of
this and found it to be most odd.
[...]
No, he's not making it up. His children received a letter from a
network security somebody-or-other, but it certainly didn't come from
me. When Ken accused me of it, I contacted his family to find out if
someone was impersonating me or using my name in any way. It didn't,
and I'm not involved in any way. Ken just makes things up, as you
know, and rages.
I was wondering how far the 'making things up' path went.
So there are two measures of the barn .. what you call its light path length
(though you've not defined that) and its physical length (its material
length as you'd measure in its own frame of reference). One is shorter than
the barn and one not.
So does the pole fit inside the barn or not? Can you close both barn doors
at the same time with the pole wholly contained within? SR says you can.
What does IRT say?
In IRT the material length of a meter stick is a universal
constant....that is it remains the same length no metter how fast it
is moving.
An IRT observer assumes that the light path length of his meter stick
is the material length of his meter stick. He uses the IRT length
contraction and length expansion equations to predict the light path
length of a meter stick moving wrt him.
In SR the material length of a meter stick is also a universal
constant. An SR observer uses the length contraction equation to
predict the geometric projected length of the moving meter stick unto
his frame.
The material length of the pole is never able to fit into the shorter
length of the barn in both theories. However, the predicted the light
path length and the geometric projected length can be fit into the
barn.

The material length of the pole does not fit into the barn. The light
path length or the geometric projected length can fit into the barn.

NO....SR says that the geometric projection can fit into the barn with
the barn doors closed simultaneously. Think about it: from the pole
frame point of view the pole is never completely inside the barn with
the doors closed simultaneously....the front door open before the rear
door closes. This means that the material length of the pole is never
inside the barn with the dorrs closed simultaneously.

What is 'light path length'
Why would anyone assume the light path length of something is its length
instead of its physical length?

Why would he care what the light path length is (whatever that is) if it
isn't the material length?

Which is the length the object occupies in the observers frame. That is
still physical. For example, a pole will fit physically within the barn
with the doors both closed for a moment accoprding to SR.

The pole does not occupy a length the sme as its physical length in the
bvarn frame, though. The pole DOES fit in the barn according to SR.

Does the pole fit in the barn in IRT?

Does the pole fit in the barn in IRT?

Finally .. so IRT says you can't close the doors and the pole doesn't fit
SR say you CAN close the doors and the pole DOES fit.
So SR is not a subset of IRT

It says the pole fits

That's right

It is in the barn frame. SR says, in the barn frame, the pole would fit
inside the barn with both doors shut simultaneously.
Are you claiming IRT says it does not?
