Using math is one of the best ways we model the world.

I have no idea where you get this non sequitur.
The doubling from Einstein's first estimate to his calculation in GR can be
traced to the curvature of space.

Observational measurements are ALL We HAVE with which to understand the world.
And there is UNDERSTANDING of the model on which to base it. I suppose that's
what you mean by "logic", though your personal, private language is not clear to me.

I have no idea where you get this non sequitur, either.
The second postulate is a valid statement about the world we inhabit, within the
domain of SR. But it need not be the basis for SR any more -- we have learned
quite a lot since 1905.
> You have not studied the physic.
You have never stated what you mean by "the physic [sic]". You seem to mean
something like "the way the world really works", and that simply cannot be
studied by humans, because our minds are not able to do so -- we can only think
THOUGHTS, and thoughts are not "the way the world works", they are at best
MODELS of how it works.
As long as you cling to your personal, private language, communication will be
poor to impossible. There is a reason we have a technical vocabulary; you should
learn it and use it.
> You only parrot physicists with
> their measurements.
Again, measurements are ALL WE HAVE with which to understand the world. And I am
not "parroting", I am discussing from a position of UNDERSTANDING. Understanding
of the models, of course.
You seem to be projecting your own limitations onto me. It seems
you can only "parrot", rather than understand modern physics.

Hmmm. Special Relativity and QM are reconcilable in QFT, which is the foundation
of our standard model of the weak, strong, and electromagnetic interactions. It
is GR (not "Relativity theory") that is incompatible with QM....
I choose both GR and QM, of course, each in its own appropriate domain.
I do not know a self-consistent theory that applies in both domains. Neither do
you. Until we find one, we have to make do with what we have. Fortunately it is
easy to show that the effects of either in the other's domain are completely
negligible for virtually all physical situations.

I have no idea what you are trying to say in your personal, private language.
_I_ certainly do not "define" any "physic [sic]" -- that is YOUR private
language, not mine. Until you learn to use the standard, technical vocabulary,
communication will be poor to impossible.
