    bases at the circumference, such that when not rotating they fill
    the disk (with a slightly jagged circumference). Assume each
    triangle is able to resist any centrifugal force. Then when the

    "length contraction" of their bases.

    Here's a question that some may find interesting: Why do the bases of
    the triangles 'length contract' but not the gaps between the bases of adjacent triangles?

    Because the bases of the triangles are pulled together by inter-atomic
    bonds, while the gaps are not.

    All bun, no meat, with any of these claims. I guess it proves some
    people can live on carbs alone. That can't be a very good life.

    It's very simple. It's only required that, finally, the constancy of c on vacuum be disproved, because vacuum doesn't exist.

    Vacuum is a convenient FICTION, where n = 1 in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

    Once it is learned that n < 1 or n > 1 in different parts of the infinite universe, you'll have FTL c' = c/n (for n < 1).

    Now that would violate the first postulate (not just the second),
    wouldn't it.

    Permittivity and permeability are the foundations of Maxwell's theory and the basis of modern RF Engineering and physics.

    This is beyond the matter of light speed and electromagnetism. Them involve the ENTIRE science of electricity and magnetism.

    But what could you know, Mr. PC repairman.

    c₀ =1/√(μ₀ε₀)

    You just contradicted yourself when you claimed "This is beyond the
    matter of light speed and electromagnetism." This is the speed of light according to Maxwell.

    CONSTANTS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE? GTFO!

    That's what the first postulate states. Do you think that μ₀ and/or ε₀ are different elsewhere? That would have to be true if c was different elsewhere.

    Try to measure them in the center of Andromeda.

    What? You can't?. Then shut the fuck up.

    Astronomers and physicists are much more clever than you are. They come
    up with ideas to measure such things indirectly, what would happen if
    such constants were different. An obvious example may be "what if ε₀
    were different in Andromeda?" One would say "The speed of light there
    would be different because Maxwell said c=1/√(μ₀ε₀)". They'd measure the
    speed of light in Andromeda and see it's c, of course, and conclude "It
    appears that ε₀, or at least the product μ₀ε₀, is the same in Andromeda
    as it is here."

    I don't see any puff. AC-B actually was a post-doc at Berkely.
    (and he became a full-grown scientist there)

    In any case, whatever reputation I may have today doesn't depend of
    whatever qualifications I may have had in 1967.


    There is no "American decline" .

    Oh well, I suppose that if you insist you can argue
    that it never amounted to much to begin with.
    It has always depended on a strong inverse brain drain.
    The USA has found a way to make the rest of the world pay

    I agree with the intro of her book. I can only hope that once inside the book she doesn't advocate for :

    -critical race theory
    -making math "equitable"

    ...any other leftard bullshit that is what is really wasting the time of American students. US students win at Olympiads despite and in spite of the leftard ideas about what teaching should be all about.

    It appears that "One way speed of light" was split out from "Speed of light" into
    a separate article. The history of this article documents its former existence as part of the "Speed of light" article, and I can see a historical record of my
    contributions, 100% of which Martin tossed out.

    Exceptionalism of the USA space science: 50 years ago, astronauts played golf in the Moon.

    Months ago, Japan and India missions crashed on the Moon, while trying to land there.

    Now the Russian fucked up, as the autonomous spacecraft committed sepuku against the South Pole.

    Next, the second Indian mission, with russian technology.

    Something very fishy here: '70s tech and computers better than today?

    enough to know. They pointed out it is illogical nonsense. For example, curved space is a pure reification fallacy, so we know just from that it is nonsense.

    Here's a question that some may find interesting: Why do the bases of

    Because the bases of the triangles are pulled together by inter-atomic bonds, while the gaps are not.

    Atoms are not contracting in length.
    It would interfere with chemistry.

    Mansouri and Sexl are clearly on the side that OWLS measurement is dependent on the clock synchro (which is dependent on OWLS measurement). You only need to read and understand their papers to know that. I am not familiar with Clifford and Ohanian's
    positions but I am very familiar with the Mansouri-Sexl papers and with Zhang book.

    denied any ability to measure the one way speed of light because of the clock synchronization issue.
    The basic disagreement between Martin, D.H and myself revolved
    around the conventionality thesis, which is summarized here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spacetime-convensimul/

    I am an anti-conventionalist. Martin and D.H were conventionalists.
    D.H was willing to allow language indicating that the debate
    is far from settled. Martin, however, considered that the anti-conventionalists, who include authorities such as Clifford Will, Mansouri & Sexl, and Ohanian, are just plain wrong.

    The central section that Martin and I fought over was this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_speed_of_light#The_one-way_speed
    In the current way that this section is worded, the conventionalists
    just plain won the war, pure and simple. Zhang and Anderson are
    right, while Will, Mansouri & Sexl, and Ohanian are wrong, et cetera.

    The entire article reflects this viewpoint.
    Mansouri and Sexl are clearly on the side that OWLS measurement is dependent on the clock synchro (which is dependent on OWLS measurement). You only need to read and understand their papers to know that. I am not familiar with Clifford and Ohanian's
    positions but I am very familiar with the Mansouri-Sexl papers and with Zhang book.

    Neither does that quite correspond to my reading of Mansouri and Sexl,
    but that is how Martin interpreted their writings.
    | Some authors such as Mansouri and Sexl (1977)[9][10] as well as Will
    | (1992)[11] argued that this problem doesn't affect measurements of the
    | isotropy of the one-way speed of light, for instance, due to direction-
    | dependent changes relative to a "preferred" (aether) frame Σ. They based
    | their analysis on a specific interpretation of the RMS test theory in relation
    | to experiments in which light follows a unidirectional path and to slow clock-
    | transport experiments. Will agreed that it is impossible to measure the
    | one-way speed between two clocks using a time-of-flight method without |synchronization scheme, though he argued: "...a test of the isotropy of the
    | speed between the same two clocks as the orientation of the propagation
    | path varies relative to Σ should not depend on how they were synchronized...".

    But it does! Looks like Will did not read any of the papers on tests of OWLS isotropy. All these tests, with no exception, assume one of the two clock synchronization conventions outlined in the Mansouri papers. The theory of these tests cannot be
    derived absent one of the two conventions. Which convention is chosen depends on which one makes the theory of the experiment simpler. The more modern tests assume the more complex synchronizations described by the Standard Model Extension. Either way,
    you cannot have a test of OWLS (an)isotropy without first assuming a clock synchro convention. So, the wiki page is correct.

    On the contrary, one can test OWLS isotropy with clocks that have
    not been synchronized at all. In addition, I presented Martin several
    examples of single-clock tests of OWLS isotropy, challenging him
    to find where the second clock was hidden which he claimed needed
    to be synchronized. He never located the second clock.

    No, it is not. Science demands scientific observations/experimental

    However, you need just ONE such observation/experiment to disprove relativity. Not 100 authors writing or "1,500 accomplished scientists"
    who just "know" relativity is "wrong". ONE experimental result. I also
    doubt these "1,500 accomplished scientists" are actually scientists.

    since they would know that "knowing" relativity is wrong without

    And again, after 100+ years, there is NO such scientific observations or experimental evidence discovered. None.

    The Irish have an adage that does a good job of explaining Laurence's

    The first, and only, time I went deer hunting was in my 20's and I got
    out to the meadow where I had seen deer earlier shortly before dawn. I
    could make out deer at the far end of the meadow moving around grazing
    and I wondered why they were staying so far away. As it slowly became
    lighter I finally understood, what I saw as deer in the distance was
    actually mounds of dirt. I was so disgusted with myself I never went
    deer hunting again.

    That is my most extreme example but it explains many things clearly.

    The brilliance of Mansouri and Sexl (and later, the brilliance of the creators of SME) is that they created a parametrized theory of SR that can be used to test, amongst many other things, the OWLS anisotropy without employing any clocks at all. So, the
    fact that Martin could not answer your challenge only means that he was not familiar enough with RMS/SME theories and/or the experiments based on these theories. The page on "Test theories of SR" is in badly need of a rewrite, maybe you should study the
    papers and the experiments , learn the subtleties and rewrite the page. That would be very useful. BTW, I am not seeing any theory on the I-S experiment, I am still waiting....

    To be clear, because special relativity predicts that relative motion causes time dilation, and because both twins are in relative motion, it predicts both twins' time dilates. This is a contradictory and illogical prediction with no predictive value.

    evidence to disprove a theory. Not "elementary logic" like Newton's
    bishops had, or which Copernicus' critics had.

    However, you need just ONE such observation/experiment to disprove relativity. Not 100 authors writing or "1,500 accomplished scientists"
    who just "know" relativity is "wrong". ONE experimental result. I also
    doubt these "1,500 accomplished scientists" are actually scientists.
    Either they aren't, or their words are taken out of context, or they
    have PhDs in the 'science' of underwater basketweaving, or they are 95
    years old and demented to the point that they yell at the moon or
    something. No REAL physicist would just "know" relativity is wrong,
    since they would know that "knowing" relativity is wrong without
    evidence isn't science. Religion, maybe, but not science.

    And again, after 100+ years, there is NO such scientific observations or experimental evidence discovered. None.
    If only one is moving it must necessarily be absolute motion. Then the cause would have to be absolute and not relative motion.

    Martin considered himself to be a strict "conventionalist" and completely denied any ability to measure the one way speed of light because of the
    clock synchronization issue.


    PS For your amusement, my take on it.
    The whole clock synchronisation issue became completely irrelevant in
    1983, when the speed of light obtained a defined value.
    It is no longer measurable, not one-way, both ways, or anyway.
    This was of course not for fun,
    but because it is really impossible experimentally
    to measure the speed of light to adequate accuracy.

    The problem became one of measuring distances.
    In these terms the problem becomes meaningless.
    There is no way that a distance can have two values,
    one measured from left to right,
    and another one measuring from right to left,
    or that only the average of the two can have meaning,

    It *does* have predictive values, of course. I can do the twin paradox
    with specific speeds and distances and relativity predicts the age
    difference. This is done all the time with muon storage rings etc.

    But once again, if you want to prove relativity wrong, you have to
    create an experiment which specifically contradicts a prediction of
    relativity. 100+ years so far and it has never happened.

    BTW this is why Dingle remains absolutely correct and why his refutation of special relativity is eternally true.

    Explain this to me, logically, please, if you can.

    Do you mean aside from the attribution not being a quote of mine?
    Get some fresh air and exercise. My point is exactly that there is
    nothing to argue against. That is what Rutherford said.

    "There is nothing to argue against" means agreement in any sane world.

    No, in a sane world, it means relativity doesn't have a case. Case
    dismissed.

    Whodat did say 'agreement in any sane world'. But in the insane bizarro
    world of Laurence, "I can't find anything to argue against" means it's
    wrong. And he thinks his bizarro world is sane.

    There's nothing to argue against 2+2=4, so that's wrong in Laurence's bizarroworld?

    Unfortunately "eager eyes" lives only in the bizarro world where
    impossible things are exclusively eagerly seen.

    No, it is not. Science demands scientific observations/experimental

    I have mentioned before that an illogical theory does not have predictive value so you are incorrect.
    It *does* have predictive values, of course. I can do the twin paradox
    with specific speeds and distances and relativity predicts the age difference. This is done all the time with muon storage rings etc.

    But once again, if you want to prove relativity wrong, you have to
    create an experiment which specifically contradicts a prediction of relativity. 100+ years so far and it has never happened.
    BTW this is why Dingle remains absolutely correct and why his refutation of special relativity is eternally true.
    Dingle was wrong because he got the problem wrong.
    I see you are ignorant of the early history of special relativity's claims about time dilation because Dingle correctly criticized that sufficiently to refute it. You are also unaware that GR was invoked to save SR's time dilation nonsense by more

    And again, you don't understand the twin paradox. Time dilation as
    described in the 1905 paper only applies to inertial motion. And you can
    apply it to the PORTIONS of the journey where one twin moves at a
    constant speed relative to the other. However the turnaround
    event/acceleration causes all of the effects which causes the traveling
    twin to age less. It is NOT symmetrical.

    Then I take your argument to be that time dilation is caused by inertial motion. How does it cause that? How does acceleration cause it?

    Read the 1905 paper!

    Get some fresh air and exercise. My point is exactly that there is

    "There is nothing to argue against" means agreement in any sane world.

    No, in a sane world, it means relativity doesn't have a case. Case dismissed.

    Whodat did say 'agreement in any sane world'. But in the insane bizarro
    world of Laurence, "I can't find anything to argue against" means it's
    wrong. And he thinks his bizarro world is sane.

    There's nothing to argue against 2+2=4, so that's wrong in Laurence's
    bizarroworld?

    Would you show me where I said 2+2 does not equal 4?

    whodat said "There is nothing to argue against" means agreement in any

    You disagreed, you said it means it doesn't have a case.
    I said there is nothing to argue against 2+2=4. [do you agree?]
    So you apparently there isn't a case to state 2+2=4, according to your bizarroworld. So it must be false?

    Martin considered himself to be a strict "conventionalist" and completely denied any ability to measure the one way speed of light because of the clock synchronization issue.

    The whole clock synchronisation issue became completely irrelevant in
    1983, when the speed of light obtained a defined value.
    It is no longer measurable, not one-way, both ways, or anyway.
    This was of course not for fun,

    The problem became one of measuring distances.

    Whether it did, or not, again depends on silly philosophies.
    It emphasises the point that all this talk
    about different speeds of light (one way, two way, average)
    is completely unphysical. There is just the speed of light. Period.

    It also emphasises that this 'speed of light' is not
    a physical quantity at all.
    It is no more that a conversion factor between units,
    of no greater physical relevance than the foot/mile.
    (and yes, this alo holds for E=mc^2)

    What all those philosophies have in common is a rejection

    The particle accelerator experiment with Lithium merely measured the change in the number of transitions of electrons at one-third the speed of light compared with ions not moving. It only proved those transitions slowed. It did not prove that any other
    rate of change slows with speed much less that time itself (all rates of change) changes with speed. To conclude that it proves time changes with speed is an unwarranted inference, and math knowledge is irrelevant.

    Kinematics is clearly physics. I think you meant "dynamics", not "physics".

    Yes, OK, one may quarrel about words, while agreeing about content.

    In my usage, the 'kinematics' are those things
    that all physical theories must have in common,
    so the description in terms of events in space-time.
    (in particular a spacetime with ds^2 = dt^2 - dr^2)
    This may disagree with your usage of the words.

    All physical theories, like Maxwellian electrodynamics,
    are necessarily set -in- that spacetime. (no GR as yet) [1]

    In other words, the spacetime is an a-priori,
    you must have it first,
    before you can have any physical theories at all.
    (that is, Lorentz invariant physical theories,
    because the relativity postulate says
    that all physical theories must be Lorentz-invariant)

    All this is nothing but an Einsteinian modernisation
    of Kant's original idea of the a-priori.
    In Kant's version you need Euclidean geometry as an a-priori
    in order to be able to measure anything spatial at all.
    The very design of your instrumentation depends on it.
    (just imagine measuring anything at all
    with fluid Salvador Dali style instruments)

    The fundamental understanding of Einstein 1905 was
    that all this mess with electrodynamics and aether,
    as it existed then, can be resolved once and for all,
    once you understand that it all hangs on the existence
    of an underlying Lorentz invariant space-time,
    with space and time treated on an equal footing.
    So with an absolute fundamental velocity, the same for all.
    (not to be confused with c, but practically indistinguishable from it)

    Your usage in words may differ,
    but I don't think that you disagree in principle.

    OTOH, I may be completely mistaken in this.
    You might be one of those (neo)positivists/empirists/conventionalists/
    who reject the Einsteinian insight that you must -postulate-
    what space-time is like before you start doing physics.
    (in some form of the relativity postulates)
    Or more plainly, you might reject space-time physics as fundamental.

    As we have seen in this forum, and in some IMHO misguided literature,
    that rejection leads you into all kinds of pseudo-empirical
    and un-physical sophistry about various, and different
    'speeds of light', which may, or may not be measurable.

    If the latter, we must agree to disagree.
    I also hope that I may have been able to help
    to clarify the issues,

    Jan


    [1] Of course general relativity reinforces all this.
    You really get absolutely nowhere at all with it
    unless you -postulate- local Lorentz invariance
    for inertial observers as the basis for it all.

    Here are “plus-sign” Lorentz Transforms, axis X′ ( primed ) being the pavement and axis X ( unprimed ) being the moving axis, moving with negative speed-v. The transforms reverse the sign of speed-v to +v.

    x = gamma × ( x′ + vt′ )

    t = gamma × ( t′ + vx′ / c² )

    Here is the Galilean form shown in textbooks.

    x = x′ + vt′

    t = t′

    Example numbers: the origin x = 0 of axis X moves negatively at speed v = – 3 miles per hour. This motion continues for time t′ = 1 hour. Point-x′ is fixed value x′ = 0. It is always at the origin of axis X′. Speed-v reversed to positive
    speed-v.

    x = 0 miles + 3 mph × 1 hour = 3 miles

    t = 1 hour

    Speed of point-x on axis X is x / t:

    x / t = 3 miles / 1 hour = 3 miles per hour

    The origin of axis X moves negatively at 3 mph away from the origin [ x′ = 0 ] of axis X′. Point-x′ is at origin point [ x′ = 0 ] appears on retreating axis X to move positively for 1 hour, beginning at [ x = 0 ] and ending up at x = 3 miles,
    hence 3 mph.

    One new number: the origin x = 0 of axis X moves negatively at speed v = – 3 miles per hour. This motion continues for time t′ = 1 hour. Point-x′ is fixed value x′ = 1 on axis X′.

    x = 1 mile + 3 mph × 1 hour = 4 miles

    t = 1 hour

    Speed of point-x on axis X is x / t:

    x / t = 4 miles / 1 hour = 4 miles per hour

    Wolfgang Pauli: “It’s not even wrong.”

    Stationary point x′ = 1 appears on negatively moving axis X to move from x = 1 to x = 4 over the course of an hour. Distance equals 3 miles.

    3 miles / 1 hour = 3 miles per hour

    Read the 1905 paper!

    According to Einstein, relative motion and not inertial motion causes time dilation. That is why Dingle correctly criticized it that way.

    If you think "relative motion" and "inertial motion" are mutually
    exclusive or something, you are much more confused than I thought.

    And again, you don't understand the twin paradox. Time dilation as described in the 1905 paper only applies to inertial motion. And you can
    apply it to the PORTIONS of the journey where one twin moves at a constant speed relative to the other. However the turnaround event/acceleration causes all of the effects which causes the traveling
    twin to age less. It is NOT symmetrical.
    Then I take your argument to be that time dilation is caused by inertial motion. How does it cause that? How does acceleration cause it? Time dilation is pure ad hoc fiction.

    What time does time dilate? October, 1971????

    How amny clocks does it take to measure Time dilation??? you're gonna
    need a lot of clocks, and then point to the one dat looks like it
    worked.

    maybe the other clock...

    Truth is, Time dilation has never been proven my any experiment that
    wasn't a fraud.

    Only fraud experiments prove Time dilation.


    Might as well put a thousand clocks on a plane going in one direction...

    one of those clocks gotta work.

    Yes, and there are other processes of change besides oscillations of clocks like aging (except Paul hasn't aged since 3 years old).

    BTW, you can see it happening in practice,

    Those synchronous one second flashers atop each windmill

    Interesting. I didn't know they did that, but that makes sense. Which

    towers have the flashers in synch, I subconsciously assumed there was
    one flasher device on the bridge which flashed all the lights. Except
    for one day when one of the flashers was flashing once per second but
    not in synch with the others. GPS time would explain it if one failed.

    Those flashers will have a back-up timebase of course.
    If its GPS is lost it will go on at its own rate.
    (and it will show)

    Taking time from GPS is obviously much simpler
    and more cost-effective than laying kilometers of wiring,

    In particle physics, "kinematics" includes not only the spacetime

    Must I really remind you of the standard meaning of 'kinematics'? ====================================================================== Kinematics is a subfield of physics, developed in classical mechanics,
    that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of
    bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause
    them to move.[1][2][3] Kinematics, as a field of study, is often
    referred to as the "geometry of motion" and is occasionally seen as a
    branch of mathematics.[4][5][6] ===================================================================== <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics>
    or just about any other dictionary.

    Get it? Kinematics comes before physics,
    and it can even be seen as a branch of mathematics.

    Consider a set of parallel copper bars having 40 cm spacing .
    Incoming waves impinge on the grating at zero degrees incidence .

    The first order diffraction of 1.5 GHz microwaves is approx. 30 degrees
    The first order diffraction of 1.71 KHz sound in air is approx. 30 degrees
    The first order diffraction of 7.40 KHz sound in water is approx. 30 degrees

    WHAT IS THE PRIMARY QUANTITY BEING MEASURED BY THE GRATING?
    And yes, this is a fundamental physics question.

    Poincaré transformations are used for this:
    We have an event that occurs in an R repository,
    in a given position and in a given time.

    At the MOMENT, when the event is perceived, and not when it occurs, the observer O starts his watch.

    Observer O then says, there is an event E that happened in
    x,y,z), there is now a time To.

    Attention, To is ALWAYS negative in principle. We never perceive an event
    that will occur in the future.

    He sets for example E=(12,9,0,-15)

    To=-sqrt(x²+y²+z²)/c
    Another observer O' who crosses O at this precise moment, and at speed
    Vo=0.8c, also recovers the photons on his retina.

    But he will not see the event in the same place (as in the aberration of
    the aposition of the stars at the zenith).

    Nor will he design the event that took place at the same time.

    It is necessary to use the transformers of Poincaré to know all that, and
    all becomes very simple.

    E=(40,9,0,-41).

    Here is a perfect example illustrating the transformations of Poincaré
    and their utility.

    You’re right. It’s wrong.

    A stationary point such as x′ = 1 or x′ = 2 can certainly exist on axis X′. It’s just that those stationary points cannot be transformed into points-of-speed on axis X, whereas x′ = 0 of speed-0 can be transformed into speed +v on axis X when
    axis X itself has speed –v on axis X′.

    More: when the full gamma transform is used, stationary point x′ = 1 on axis X′ can be transformed into stationary point-x on axis X.

    x = gamma × ( x′ + vt′ )

    x = gamma × ( 1 + vt′ )

    t′ = 0

    x = gamma × 1

    For example, gamma = 1.5

    x = 1.5 × 1 = 1.5

    Point-x has transformed value 1.5

    It is a vexatious business described in 1905-Section §4. A moving meter stick of length 1 meter does not appear to be something in motion with length 1.5 meters. It’s the reverse. The moving meter stick “appears” to have length 2 / 3 meters.

    Sadly, you can't understand something so simple. It doesn't matter how many "time dilation" measures have been made in experiments because they do not represent all rates of change. To take them as clocks representing all rates of change is a huge,
    unwarranted leap and a vast over-generalization. Time dilation is ignorant fiction. For example, there is no good reason to suppose that if Lithium time dilates at a certain speed aging would do the same. It is junk science called relativity. You have
    the institutions on your side; I have the science.

    It's hardly an "unwarranted conclusion" since particle accelerators take

    You did not understand. It is an unwarranted inference from one process of change to all.

    What, are you saying that it must be tested for all possible
    combinations? Like if x+2=2+x is true for x=10, x=1 and x=5 there's no

    Two-way methods are more accurate than one-way

    How else could it be done anyway?

    Actually it is not two way, but a great many ways,
    involving many stations, with corrections applied to corrections
    to get everything just right.

    The two-way communication would typically be via a single

    Section §4: time dilation and Lorentz Contraction

    The ALGEBRA of Section §4 allows the moving guy to say, “My clock is slower than your clock,” and “My meter stick is shorter than your meter stick.” But Special Relativity won’t let the moving guy be the observer. So the stationary guy says,
    “Your clock is slower than my clock,” and “Your meter stick is shorter than my meter stick.”

    Velocity-addition is likewise Lorentz Transformation. The ALGEBRA allows the moving guy to say, “My clock is faster than your clock, so my rifle bullet is slower than your rifle bullet.” But Special Relativity won’t let the moving guy be the
    observer. The stationary guy must be the observer, saying to the moving guy, “Your rifle bullet is not up to speed.” The velocity-addition-formula cannot function as intended on that basis.

    You did not understand. It is an unwarranted inference from one process of change to all.
    What, are you saying that it must be tested for all possible
    combinations? Like if x+2=2+x is true for x=10, x=1 and x=5 there's no evidence it's true for x=3 or x=7?

    Face it. Particle accelerators take into account SR, and they work. If
    they didn't take into account SR in their design, they wouldn't work.
    The unwarranted inference (and over-generalization) is from, e.g., Lithium to the aging process, among many other processes that do not change their rate with speed as Lithium does. There is no good reason to infer from the slower pace of Lithium at
    higher speeds to claim the rate of organisms aging does the same.

    So you actually are saying it needs to be tried for all possible

    ages at half the rate. Then if it does, instead of, say a rat, we'd have
    to try it with a monkey. If it works with a monkey we have to try it
    with a platypus. And...

    This is not true. Go back and read Einstein's 1905 paper. In it he
    starts out
    "Let us take a system of co-ordinates in which the
    equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good. In order
    to render our presentation more precise and to
    distinguish this system of co-ordinates verbally from
    others which will be introduced hereafter, we call it
    the “stationary system.”

    This starts with an English translation of the German phrase used by mathematicians to select an ARBITRARY system of coordinates that satisfy
    the given condition. Moreover, his words are quite clear that
    "stationary system" is merely a LABEL for whichever coordinates one
    chooses to give that label.

    So whichever guy you call "moving", anyone else can call "stationary".
    Given Einstein's first postulate, ANY inertial frame can be so chosen.

    Because the bases of the triangles are pulled together by inter-atomic bonds, while the gaps are not.

    Yes, and more accurately: as the rotating bases are brought up to speed from rest in the lab frame, the necessary inter-atomic forces required to maintain rigidness of a base in its proper frame won't be uniformly distributed. Hence the leading edge will
    experience less of an average acceleration compared to the trailing edge; and will approach one another or 'length contract' in the lab frame.

    The good old rule of the thumb applies still.
    "Never discus politics with Americans who want to.
    They are all crazy."

    A white bureaucrat sued the school system, claiming discrimination.
    For instance:
    "White culture's values are homogeneous and supremacist; that
    the "Protestant work ethic" is an example of White Supremacy
    and "[Chislett's] interest in excellence was perfectionism and
    consistent with White Supremacy"

    Thus USA decays into socialist tribalism, as ethnic groups fight for
    political influence, to grab larger shares of a shrinking pie -

    ROTFL. 'Socialist tribalism', sure.
    Americans are completely clueless about things like 'socialism'.
    (the real thing)
    I will agree with you that the USA is descending into tribalism,
    sectarian quarrels, and crazy and blind partisanship,
    but none of it is 'socialist',
    except perhaps in their perverted sense of the word.

    yeah, an accurate sense of socialism is 'sharing' ...

    "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
    - G. Orwell: "Animal Farm"

    Do Orwell's books get any traction in Europe?

    Yes of course.
    Orwell is still hugely popular in Europe among high school students.
    They have to learn English, so they have to read English books.
    The easier and the shorter the better of course.
    'Animal Farm is their favorite, after Winnie the Pooh.
    And '1984' too, but less so.
    Too much digging in depth there, and by now too obsolete.

    He was the great prophet of the last century. They used to be popular
    here, but no longer - the left doesn't approve of his blunt portrayals of their agenda -
    (he was also banned in the soviet block)

    Yes, yes, crazy, crazy.
    No one except crazy Americans sees Orwell's books
    as having anything to do with 'socialism'. (their take on it)
    Orwell is obviously caricaturing Stalinism,
    and ruthless power hunger in general,

    Here's a question that some may find interesting: Why do the bases of the triangles 'length contract' but not the gaps between the bases of adjacent triangles?

    Because the bases of the triangles are pulled together by inter-atomic bonds, while the gaps are not.

    Yes, and more accurately: as the rotating bases are brought up to speed from rest in the lab frame, the necessary inter-atomic forces required to maintain rigidness of a base in its proper frame won't be uniformly distributed. Hence the leading edge
    will experience less of an average acceleration compared to the trailing edge; and will approach one another or 'length contract' in the lab frame.

    Ignoring the physics and focusing only on the maths of SR has lead me astray many times in the past.

    How could rotation contract a disk?

    The "cause" is unknown (practically all "causes" in physics are unknown).
    The only reason this seems odd compared to other theories is that
    space is not a "medium" or "substance". So for now this is modelled by
    noticing that the phenomena observed in experiments fit into a certain kinematical and geometric "accounting".

    Nobody knows the "cause" for the finite speed of light and its constancy. Nobody knows the "cause" for the value of its speed.
    Nobody knows the "cause" for the Planck constant and why it's constant.
    Etc.

    Eventually. I'm really spending most of my time catching up on

    Time dilation has been around for 120 years and nobody has been able to ask a question: What is time dilation?

    I ask a question:

    V = ( 8 + 12 ) / 2 = 20 / 2 = 10

    Option-A: V = ( 8 + 12 ) / 2 = 8 / 2 + 12 / 2 = 4 + 6 = 10

    Option-B: V = ( 8 + 12 ) / 2 = 8 / 1 + 12 / 6 = 8 + 2 = 10

    Which is it?

    Einstein says it is A and the Large Hadron Collider says it is B.

    You can only add to your own velocity.
    Your movement does not move other frames...
    All forces are geometric. And gravity is not an open curve metric.

    Yes, they are.

    Length contraction acts only in the direction of the object's
    motion. Time dilation, of the object's clock, is independent of the
    object's direction.

    Yes. This is GEOMETRY -- geometrical projections of an invariant length
    or time interval onto a measuring apparatus. You merely point out
    differences due to the fact that there are three spatial axes but only
    one time axis.

    A proper time time interval can be measured by a single inertial
    observer, ignoring the whole universe. By definition, he is
    stationary; space interval = 0

    A proper distance interval, where time interval = 0, cannot be
    measured by a single observer, alone. He must communicate
    with another observer on his grid, using synchronized clocks.

    So there's another time-space asymmetry.

    I think....

    Never say "I think" because it`s an oxymoron.

    w.

    Well maybe I'am so stupid that I don't understand your fine words, and if I'am
    allowed to use my amateur physicist freedom to speak freely:

    If question is confirmed real physical phenomena (if not then nothing below written), then first questions:

    Inputs of spontaneous human combustion reaction:

    Underclothes materials ?
    Body materials ?
    Unexplained new physics involved ?

    Outputs of spontaneous human combustion reaction:

    Remnants materials ?

    Some preliminary guesses of mine with new physics:

    If the Universe contains something like “dark matter” (not same), maybe different mass type (not antimatter) than presently known mass ?

    Maybe this different mass type consist something like presently known quarks, but not same ?

    Maybe this different mass type consist something like presently known leptons (for example something like electrons, but not same), but not same ?

    Maybe this different mass type forms hidden invisible 3+1 dimensions with its own photon like photon (not our photon) in the Universe something like our visible 3+1 dimensions of the Universe with our photon ?

    Now underclothes materials contains ordinary electrons and if these contain also some special material that has property reacting like “short circuit” with some parts of body’s surface material or other body’s materials (electrons react
    with electron like particles (not electrons) which results photons and also invisible photon like photons (not photons) ?

    If so then one should ask money from NASA to investigate this spontaneous human combustion more closely, if those bodies really originated somehow from this hidden part of the Universe, if it exists ?

    Best Regards,

    Hannu Poropudas

    I found also one other stange interview from youtube which contains strange burning effect (if this was real physical phenomena, if not real physical phenomena then nothing below written):

    About youtube video AL BIELEK THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT.mp4

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVE94Zvy17c

    AL BIELEK seems to me to have some mental illness ?

    Impossible points in his interview in my opinion:

    1. Time travel to future from 1943 to 1983 ?
    2. Time travel Back with alien help from 1983 to 1943 ?
    3. Antgravity technology in future 1983 which he mentioned.
    4. 500 million inhabitants in the Earth in 1983, this remembers fremasons future plans written in some statue in North America ?
    5. False that the ship has moved to other distant place due this experiment ?
    6. Possible false that Albert Einstein was involved in planning Philadelphia Experiment ?

    Possible true point could be in the Philadelphia Experiment in my opinion (if this phenomea was real physical phenomena):

    I remember that this Philadelphia Experiment question was in one my old article 1994 in sci.physics (COPY BELOW).

    I remember now that H-M said then that this experiment could have something
    to do with radiation periphery which lies few kilometers height above Earth's surface.

    In my opininion this kind experiment shoud be done again with
    high speed airplane (with robot crew first) in
    height few kilometers above Earth's surface ???

    This movie 'Philadelphia Experiment' was also here in Finland
    few months ago in TV. It was quite strange, but strange enough
    there could be still some sense in that TV-movie, if that all

    I found an interesting example article how to calculate DEGAUSSING system:

    Sardono Sarwito, Juniarko Prananda, Eddy Setyo Koenhardono, Anggela Wahyu Kurniawan, 2017.
    Study of Calculation of Degaussing System for
    Reducing Magnetic Field from Submersible Vehicle.
    International Journal of Marine Engineering Innovation and Research, Vol. 1(2), Mar. 2017. 68-75.

    What you think does these calculations really work for preventing magnetic mines explosions for submersible vehicles ?

    Hannu

    This Sardono S et al 2017 degaussing system DOES NOT WORK due they used static magnetic field ?

    I found WORKIG METHODS from the company (pdf) Vallon GmbH / Germany.

    Vallon Degaussing systems pages (28 pages) Theory on page 27:

    "Theory

    Degaussing

    Principle

    Inside a ferromagnetic crystal, a larger amount of atoms always has the same orientation. This
    area can be considered from the outside as a domain (Weiß domain); its volume ranges from 0.001
    to 0.1 mm³. If several areas have the same orientation, a work piece is magnetic.

    N---S N---S N---S
    N---S N---S N---S

    Degaussing is achieved by reversing the homogenous orientation of the Weiß domains and thus
    creating an extreme disorder with the effect that the magnetic impact of the different areas is
    neutralized.

    N N--S N
    S S S--N

    In practice, mainly the following methods are used:

    • The work piece is exposed to a strong alternating magnetic field, which is constantly
    reduced to zero.
    • The work piece is lead through a strong alternating magnetic field, at a slow and constant
    speed.
    • The work piece is heated to >800°C (exceeding Curie-point), and slowly cooled down in a
    neutral spot (which is exposed to the magnetic field of the earth only).
    Since the degaussing effect of the alternating field is at its optimum only if it has the same orien-
    tation as the magnetic field of the work piece, divers methods of creating the degaussing field
    will be necessary (degaussing coils, degaussing yokes)."

    I'am sorry about two poor (N---S) figures above, please look them from the reference pdf paper.

    I think....

    Never say "I think" because it`s an oxymoron.

    w.

    Well maybe I'am so stupid that I don't understand your fine words, and if I'am
    allowed to use my amateur physicist freedom to speak freely:

    If question is confirmed real physical phenomena (if not then nothing below written), then first questions:

    Inputs of spontaneous human combustion reaction:

    Underclothes materials ?
    Body materials ?
    Unexplained new physics involved ?

    Outputs of spontaneous human combustion reaction:

    Remnants materials ?

    Some preliminary guesses of mine with new physics:

    If the Universe contains something like “dark matter” (not same), maybe different mass type (not antimatter) than presently known mass ?

    Maybe this different mass type consist something like presently known quarks, but not same ?

    Maybe this different mass type consist something like presently known leptons (for example something like electrons, but not same), but not same ?

    Maybe this different mass type forms hidden invisible 3+1 dimensions with its own photon like photon (not our photon) in the Universe something like our visible 3+1 dimensions of the Universe with our photon ?

    Now underclothes materials contains ordinary electrons and if these contain also some special material that has property reacting like “short circuit” with some parts of body’s surface material or other body’s materials (electrons react
    with electron like particles (not electrons) which results photons and also invisible photon like photons (not photons) ?

    If so then one should ask money from NASA to investigate this spontaneous human combustion more closely, if those bodies really originated somehow from this hidden part of the Universe, if it exists ?

    Best Regards,

    Hannu Poropudas

    I found also one other stange interview from youtube which contains strange burning effect (if this was real physical phenomena, if not real physical phenomena then nothing below written):

    About youtube video AL BIELEK THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT.mp4

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVE94Zvy17c

    AL BIELEK seems to me to have some mental illness ?

    Impossible points in his interview in my opinion:

    1. Time travel to future from 1943 to 1983 ?
    2. Time travel Back with alien help from 1983 to 1943 ?
    3. Antgravity technology in future 1983 which he mentioned.
    4. 500 million inhabitants in the Earth in 1983, this remembers fremasons future plans written in some statue in North America ?
    5. False that the ship has moved to other distant place due this experiment ?
    6. Possible false that Albert Einstein was involved in planning Philadelphia Experiment ?

    Possible true point could be in the Philadelphia Experiment in my opinion (if this phenomea was real physical phenomena):

    Badly burned sailors on the deck of the ship due this experiment.
    This would be interesting (if this phenomena was real) that was in this case

    I found one very SPECULATIVE paper (97 pages pdf) of Anonymous, Ph.d's * from the net,
    but I think it could contain some practical numbers (worth of future trials?) of the Eldriges's generators,
    if I ignore paper's all SPECULATIVE pages ?
    (* = Ph.d's who wish to remain anonymous)

    https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=d5900781e117f930fbb24c6a76000da6fc820918

    I COPY below those practical numbers (worth of future trials?):

    In the Absract of the paper (page 4):
    "By calculation, the required magnetic
    field to reduce a ship's radar reflection to less dm 1%, at L-Band (1.5) GHz, is in excess of 15 000 A/m."

    (page 10):
    "By the way, the Eldridge's generator was rated at 4 600 kVA and could deliver 6 000 HP.
    Two generators, as described in the book, could deliver more than 12 000 HP (almost 9 MW)."

    (Equation (2) on page 12):
    "In order to “camouflage” an object against radar waves, one must cover it with a layer for
    which this ratio of wave resistances has the value I in the region of centimeter waves. According
    to [the law of refraction and the boundary conditions] this means that if we call the constants of
    the desired material epsilon and mu and those of air epsilon_0 and mu_0 , then

    epsilon / epsilon_0 = mu / mu_0 (2)

    Hence, the problem concerns not only the dielectric constant but also the relationship between the
    dielectric constant and the permeability. A substance must be formed whose relative permeability

    mu_r = mu / mu_0

    , is of the same magnitude as its relative dielectric constant epsilon / epsilon_0 .”

    (page 23):
    "Equation (2) above can be satisfied at L-Band if H 0 is "tuned" to 15 000 A/m. That is to say, if there is
    1 turn/m around the ship carrying a current of 15 000 amperes, the ship's radar reflection will drop to a fraction of
    its zero current value at 1.5 GHz."

    P.S. Be CAREFUL in possible future trials!!!

    Yes. This is GEOMETRY -- geometrical projections of an invariant length

    A proper time time interval can be measured by a single inertial

    stationary; space interval = 0

    A proper distance interval, where time interval = 0, cannot be
    measured by a single observer, alone. He must communicate
    with another observer on his grid, using synchronized clocks.

    So there's another time-space asymmetry.

    There are many discoveries in the history of science. What do we know about scientific discovery? What is the purpose of scientific discovery?

    1. The discovery must come from an objective or physical phenomenon of fact and cannot be an illusory phenomenon. This phenomenon must be sharable, that is, it must be scientifically repeatable.

    A discovery that satisfies this point can be called a discovery of a discipline or a disciplinary experiment. This kind of discovery can be generalized to help us discover more unknown phenomena and promote scientific research.

    2. The findings to reveal the unknown laws behind phenomena, and can summarize general rules, laws or principles, with not only physical meaning, but also mathematical expressions.

    In accordance with the above findings, it can be called a major or important scientific discovery. This discovery is beneficial evidence and strengthening support for existing theories, establishing branches of theories and disciplines, and
    promoting the improvement and expansion of discipline theories.

    3. By establishing the principles of universality and a general system theory, the discovery is widely used to explain, predict, or reconstruct the physical properties of things, the changes of states, and the connections and interactions between
    them through mathematical logical deduction, conclusion, and extension.

    Discoveries that fit this point are scientific milestones that we call great or the greatest discoveries.

    The greatest discoveries in the history of science are all similar. It's a fact that the apple fell, but that's not a scientific discovery. Only when you find the law of gravity and turn it into Newton's law can you say it is a great scientific
    discovery.

    The Michelson-Morley experiment is a fact through which only Einstein first proposed the invariant speed of light as the postulate of special relativity, thus creating the theory of relativity. This is what we call the greatest scientific discovery.


    The Earth's aberration has been known for nearly 300 years, but it was Dr. Cui Silong who saw the essence of space-time deflection through this phenomenon and established unified physics. This became the greatest discovery in physics in recent
    decades.

    There is a simple expression for the Earth's aberration, which Dr. Cui used as a postulate of the unified theory of physics, deriving the basic expression of relativity and quantum mechanics, not only explaining what behind Schrödinger's equation
    and strange quantum phenomena, but also reconciling gravitation with three other forces. For the first time in physics, the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics were conceptually and mathematically unified. That's why I believe that history will
    prove that the significance of Dr Cui Silong's discovery will be comparable to the greatest discoveries of Newton and Einstein.

    Our conversation about Dr. Cui Silong's theory has been updated on the website: https://www.tastphysics.com/ Stay tuned.

    On January 24, 2022, Chinese scientists published a paper that experimentally Ruling Out Real-Valued Standard Formalism of Quantum Theory (paper link: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.128.040403). This achievement further
    proves that Dr. Cui Silong stated that the imaginary part of the complex function was part of the source of quantum theory when he derived the Schrödinger equation using Analytical Space-Time Theory more than 20 years ago. This makes us even more
    convinced of the correctness of Analytical Space-Time Theory.
    The great physics discoveries are those that identify the universal laws behind objective phenomena.
    For the unification of the fundamental forces, a program of conversations among three experts has been launched on this website https://www.tastphysics.com/ on the following tentative topics:

    1. Space frames, symmetry and correlation

    2. Space of deflection & space of rotation

    3. Concurrence & causality

    4. Strange quantum phenomena

    5. Hidden variable

    6. Inertial and non-inertial frames

    7. Gravitation and interactions

    8. Relationship of concepts and logic chain

    9. Simplicity & paradigm

    10. Underlying logics of physics & philosophy

    11. Verification of fundamental principles

    12. Boundary between metaphysics and physics

    Dr. Cui Silong’s discovery of the phenomenon of space-time deflection is one of the greatest physical discoveries of recent decades. It all started with the discovery of the angular variable hidden behind the Lorentz factor. Both the real and
    imaginary parts of the complex function in the article originate from the postulates as principles (I) and (II). It may be incomplete to derive the Schrödinger equation without discussing the role of the imaginary part in quantum theory. For many
    decades, we have wondered what lies behind the Schrödinger equation. By taking into account the imaginary part of the complex function, we can make new discoveries and interpretations of phenomena such as consciousness & existence, life, dark matter &
    energy, elementary particles, subjective & objective, and the origin & evolution of the universe. The advancement of physics is a collective effort of the entire scientific community.

    https://www.tastphysics.com/

    We can reject, oppose, question or ignore a physical doctrine or theory, but we can never scorn or reject a physical discovery, because physical discoveries come from physical phenomena and existence and cannot be denied, and what we can do can be a
    different interpretation of it.
