Really? What makes you say that?

Say you have a ruler that is expanding, with marks at regular
intervals, and observers parked at each of the marks.

An observer sitting at the mark "3" looks at the mark "4" and notices
that it is receding from him at 0.1 marks/day. The same observer looks
at the mark "6" and notices that it's receding from him at 0.3
marks/day. The same observer looks at the mark "12" and notices that
it's receding from him at 0.9 marks/day. This observer concludes that
the marks at 4, 6, and 12 were all at the very spot where he is sitting
10 days ago.

The observer sitting at the mark "4" looks at the mark "3" and notices
that it is receding from him at 0.1 marks/day. The same observer looks
at the mark "16" and notices that it is receding from him at 1.2
marks/day. The same observer looks at the mark "-3" and notices that it
is receding from him at 0.7 marks/day. This observer concludes that the
marks at 3, 16, and -3 were all at the very spot where he is sitting 10
days ago.

Likewise the observer sitting at the mark "12" looks at the mark "3"
and notices that it is receding from him at 0.9 marks/day. The same
observer looks at the mark at "4" and notices that it is receding at
0.8 marks/day. This observer concludes that the marks at 3 and 4 were
all at the very spot where he is sitting 10 days ago.

All of these observers agree completely on what happened 10 days ago.
They also all agree on the measured rate of expansion, 0.1
marks/day/mark. Now where is the "natural center" of that expansion
about which all the vector momenta of the observers add to zero?

(Henri hasn't read a whole lot, and as a result he hasn't thought a
whole lot, and as a result he is mistaken about a whole lot -- despite
having been born with a "scientific mind" with which to do a whole lot
more than he's actually done.)

Yet for all your idiotic posting, you have not once proven that general
relativity is not an accurate model of reality.

I asked this of you months ago and you simply refused. (EG)

Obviously you can't understand it, but here it is once again:

You neither understood the question nor understand the concept of
properly quoting who says what.

I asked you to prove that general realtivity is not an accurate model
of reality. Nowhere in that request was anything about your asinine
"model" of reality that is backed up by a wager of 1000 burger bucks or
whatever the f*** it is that isn't backed by the United States
treasury.

You say a muon slows down in a scintillator and you don't know how

A non-partisan lurker would instantly see that, so I have no idea what

Unfortuantely Androcles is fighting a rigged battle. He knows full well
that is idiocy has an advantage. He doesn't have to do experiments, be
logical, prove things are right or back up his ideas. He just needs to
continues beating his chest.

The only think heavyweight about him is the stone in his skull.

Really? What makes you say that?

Say you have a ruler that is expanding, with marks at regular
intervals, and observers parked at each of the marks.

An observer sitting at the mark "3" looks at the mark "4" and notices
that it is receding from him at 0.1 marks/day. The same observer looks
at the mark "6" and notices that it's receding from him at 0.3
marks/day. The same observer looks at the mark "12" and notices that
it's receding from him at 0.9 marks/day. This observer concludes that
the marks at 4, 6, and 12 were all at the very spot where he is sitting
10 days ago.

The observer sitting at the mark "4" looks at the mark "3" and notices
that it is receding from him at 0.1 marks/day. The same observer looks
at the mark "16" and notices that it is receding from him at 1.2
marks/day. The same observer looks at the mark "-3" and notices that it
is receding from him at 0.7 marks/day. This observer concludes that the
marks at 3, 16, and -3 were all at the very spot where he is sitting 10
days ago.

Likewise the observer sitting at the mark "12" looks at the mark "3"
and notices that it is receding from him at 0.9 marks/day. The same
observer looks at the mark at "4" and notices that it is receding at
0.8 marks/day. This observer concludes that the marks at 3 and 4 were
all at the very spot where he is sitting 10 days ago.

All of these observers agree completely on what happened 10 days ago.
They also all agree on the measured rate of expansion, 0.1
marks/day/mark. Now where is the "natural center" of that expansion
about which all the vector momenta of the observers add to zero?

(Henri hasn't read a whole lot, and as a result he hasn't thought a
whole lot, and as a result he is mistaken about a whole lot -- despite
having been born with a "scientific mind" with which to do a whole lot
more than he's actually done.)

PD
Excellent post! Now please describe the above with orthogonally

positioned rulers. (three dimensions). Dwain W. Higginbotham

I heard your call today for some sensible response, and I will try
that.
There may be some denial about that being the "official" verdict today,

but here in these ngs, that does seem to be true. However, it is
foolish
to take the posts here as being representative of what is "official" in

physics today. That apparent "verdict" is propounded by those who
post here, alright, but they are only a tiny tiny number of scientists
out
of all those who could post here but don't. Thus, we can say that is
the
official verdict of those who are apparently in the majority of those
who
post here, and that can be supported by archival evidence.

Well it is pretty bloody obvious to me that the MMX certainly did NOT prove
that there could not be at least a local EM reference frame...particularly when
Einstein used the same contraction idea that Lorentz invented.

If SR is correct then so must be LET. SR actually relies on an absolute
refernce frame

It is a fact, that because of Lorentz's (Fitzgerald's) supposed 'contractions',
it is a feature of LET that any observer moving through the aether will always
MEASURE the OW speed of light as being c.

Einstein's master stroke was to turn the whole theory back to front. He BEGAN
with the idea of CONSTANT MEASURED OWLS as a postulate. Thus, it seemingly
didn't matter if an aether existed or not, particulalry after he concocted his
outlandish definition of clock synchronisation, (which just happens to be
correct according to the Ballistic theory of light).

I see your point, and I can agree that is one way to describe what AE
actually did with the luminous ether theory. If by "outlandish
definition"
you refer to "moving clocks run slow", I must again agree that is an
apt
description of what he meant, but it was outlandish even more so in
that
it appears to be true.

Since when?
There is no believable proof of that Tom.

The math evidence is very strong, however, and while math is no

better than logic in representing reality, it does sometimes make
predictions that are later confirmed. The Twin Paradox is only one
of two thought experiments that support the math of SR, and the
two are different such that one supports the other. The other is
often known as the moving train experiment, where time dilation is
shown to depend on POV of the observer. I have posted that one
here before and asked for anyone to deny its intuitive conclusion,
but no one was able to do that.

AE's conclusion that "moving clocks run slow" is the basis for my
model that carries forward that concept to my claim that time is a
property of matter and passes dependent of an object's motion.
Quote:

Einstein plodded his way backwards and ended up formulating exactly the same
mathematical theory that Lorentz had previously produced. ..although his
'contractions were observational rather than physical.

Both works are in Theoretical Physics, which disdains empirical
research
and embraces math and logic, so both works seem to me to have been
as non-physical as anything can be.

Yes but at least the aether theories have some kind of physical connection.
Contractions are actually REAL.

That is too counterintuitive for me to agree with at this point. It is

too hard
for me to believe that physical objects will contract in different
frames. I
think that it is time that varies, creating that effect, but that it is
only an illusion
based on the time dilation effect. I have yet to figure out how that
occurs, but
I hope to do just that sooner or later.
Quote:

The problem was, in Einstein's case, there was NO physical connection with the
real world. If one actually wants to delve more deeply into any of the claims
of relativity one must resort to the existence of an aether, which of course is
what Einstein believed in himself.

Only if you are working with the reality of the universe does one have
to
accept an ether. If you are adding 2x2, no ether is required, since
math
is an imaginary tool we use to compare imaginary or real objects.
There
is no such thing as a "2" in existence in the universe, other than as
it exits
in our heads. There are, however, two apples and two oranges, which
can be both real and imaginary, depending on which is our choice.

On that basis, I cannot agree that it is correct to say there is no
physical
connection between SR and reality. SR is not representative of
reality,
true, but it is an excellent tool for us.

Is it?
Where? In charged particle accelerators? There are alternative explanations for
those effects.
There is no evidence that SR applies to neutral objects.

Well, the principle of relativity is one, which is holding up still.

But I
agree there are alternative explanations for much of what has been
explained from the conclusions of SR. The tenet about relative
motion, which is IMO the basis of SR, is another great tool tool for
us, even though some have gotten carried away with what they have
concluded from that.

By necessity, all our tools
have a
connection to reality - that cannot be avoided if they are to be valid
tools
for us to use. To say 2x2=4 is almost meaningless in itself until and
unless it is ultimately in reference to something real. As a tool for
the
teaching of math, we could say it is not meaningless because ultimately
it
will be used to count real objects.

Well, I have often wondered if the laws of maths would exist in the absence of
everything alse.
I believe they would.

I don't see something that is based and depend on the existence of

other
things can exist without any of those other things, so I must disagree.
Quote:

After all that, I must say, however, that I agree we cannot refer to
the real
universe without including an ether.

I don't accept that an absolute universal aether exists. Maybe local aetherlike
frames exist but that is all.

Why not? And at what point do the frames begin, and why?

My model suggests one that does
not
conflict with any known observed effects but instead explains reality
in a
better way than some in place as "official verdicts" by sci.ngs
posters.

If you want an aether, you have to cope with the concept of a 'physical'
infinity.

I must disagree, as I don't agree there is such a thing, whatever

it means.
