AI and ST

[uitterdijk]

Dear physicist,    AI and STR

My previous email with the subject line: “Question of Conscience”  prompted one of the recipients to raise the issue of the velocity of light to AI.

For the background of ‘Question of Conscience’ see Chapter XXIV  ‘Why an inertial frame can only be an imaginary frame’, in my book 'Physics since Einstein’.

That contact with AI eventually lead to a most interesting discussion with AI, shown in the separately attached article as chapter XLV  ‘AI and STR’ , added to that book too.

I would therefore like to express my sincere thanks to the person who took this initiative.

Page 1 of the article shows the original question and AI's answer.

Page 2 shows my commentary on that answer.  Then, pages 1 and 2 are again presented to AI as one issue.

Page 3 shows AI's response to that issue.

AI's (second) response is extremely surprising, closing of with the sentence:

                  “Your concerns about the AI’s text are valid and shed light on the nuances that are often overlooked in casual discussions of special relativity. 

   Thanks for bringing these key points to attention!”

I close the article ‘AI and STR’ of with the following conclusion:

During the past 40 years that I tried to convince the scientific establishment of Physics of the invalidity of Einstein’s STR, no one ever reacted like AI does at the end in the closing-of remark. 

This remark popped up after confronting AI with my arguments against it’s initial defence of the mainstream opinion. 

  This surprising difference must stem from the essential difference between AI and humans. 

AI has no feelings or emotions, while the attempts to convince physicists of the invalidity of the STR are met with an impenetrable wall of several kinds of feelings and emotions, built up during their career.

Kind regards,
