That is very correct.  <shrug>

Your unsubstantiated opinion due to your lack of knowledge.  <shrug>

You, peter webb, have no fvcking idea what you are babbling about as
usual.  <shrug>

That is no lie.  You, peter webb, just have to study more.  <shrug>

Just replace whatever the Lorentz transform with either the Voigt or
Larmor’s transform.
____________________________________________
Another stupid comment from you. The Voigt and Larmor transformations would 
only produce the same answers as Lorentz if they were the same as Lorentz. 
They aren't, and so produce different answers. If you claim they produce the 
same answers, then you are claiming they are mathematically identical to 
Lorentz. They aren't. If they were the same as Lorentz, you have no basis to 
claim they are different.



Also, in practical applications, any transform
would degenerate into the Galilean transform.  Thus, even if a
transform says the Aether must exist, it will satisfy the principle of
relativity at low speeds.  <shrug>
____________________________________________________
No, you are supposed to be supporting your claim that the Larmor and Voigt 
transformations are consistent with all experimental tests of Relativity. 
This is simply not true, and you have not produced a single reference or 
reason to think they do satisfy all tests of Relativity. I have provided 
several tests of Relativity which both fail, for example the Hafele Keating 
experiment. If you really believe that the Larmor and Voight transformations 
correctly predict the outcome of Hafele Keating, provide your calculations. 
(Of course you can't; you have heard of these things but as you know zero 
physics you have no idea how to use them or what they mean).



Tell us.  Did you raise these stupid questions yourself, or some
professor asked you to relay the questions?  <shrug>
_______________________________________________________
So, go for it. Provide some reason to think that the Larmor and Voigt 
transforms correctly predict the outcome of Hafele Keating, as you 
incorrectly claim.
