    It was not because of him and his lame 1905 paper. It was due to the endorsement
    of Minkowski and his
    mathematical formalism, following the lead of Poincaré, which made relativity a
    "respectable" theory.

    As one of the top mathematicians in Europe by that epoch (along with Poincaré,
    Hilbert, Klein), HIS theory of
    4D SPACETIME captured the imagination of respectable scientists by then.

    (Ricci, Levi-Civita, Grossman, Hilbert),
    the scientific world HAD TO FOLLOW THE PROPOSALS OF MATHEMATICIANS, not
    physicists.

    What you seem to miss in the above is that mathematics can only describe models that could represent the universe. It can describe many such
    models, but is incapable of choosing between them. It takes physics to determine which model is the correct one.

    Sylvia.

    Not necessarily.

    If we take the geometry of Minkowski (4D universe) and that of Hachel
    (3DD+1 universe), we realize that at the start, things seem quite similar.
    But the more we progress in the concepts and the equations, the more it differs.

    We then say to ourselves: the best is experimentation.

    The problem is that as things stand now (but not for much longer, I think,
    as the practice progresses) the basic equations and predictions are the
    same.

    Except that already, and we already had it as early as 1905, the RR
    equations are incoherent if we practice at observable speeds.

    They therefore have no chance of being true. None.

    We can therefore, just by theory, guillotine the RR.

    I have long since asked physicists how they can describe a Langevin in
    apparent velocities. All of them replied that they couldn't, and that they
    no longer understood anything.

    In France recently, Professor Python tried to defame me.

    The audience was very surprised to find that he didn't even know what he
    was talking about.

    A humorous video was made (if you can read the French).

    So your humour, such as it is, rivals the level of stupidity of your

    Oui, je sais, je suis magnifique.

    I see that you're adopting the standard crank practice of introducing non-standard abbreviations, which you do not define, and then proceeding
    to use them in the apparent expectation that people will know what you mean.

    Sylvia.

    Sylvia, you are delightful, and I greatly appreciate your insightful
    advice.
    But I assure you that I do my best to:
    1. never use abstract or ambiguous words.
    2. use the same terms as the others when I think they are justified.

    I was recently talking about the term "transverse Doppler effect" used by physicists. I find this term equivocal, because this effect is clearly omnidirectional. It is due not to the angle of approach, which plays no
    role in it, but to pure relative speed. It would be more accurate to speak
    of the "internal Doppler effect".

    This is called the relativistic gamma factor by the way.

    I only want to modify small things (by more than three or four moreover)
    at the level of the appellations.

    I am sometimes criticized for using terms that were widely used by
    relativist scientists long before I was born.

    Like for example the term "barycentric relativistic frame of reference" or
    the term "apparent velocity of an object, particle, or rocket".

    But no, these terms already exist. I only use very concrete and
    understandable concepts.

    The only term that I use and which can, indeed, pose a problem is that of anisochrony. The reader can say "what the hell is that?"

    But all the other things are already known to everyone, and the unknown
    terms can be deduced from themselves, such as the term "relativity of the internal chronotropy of watches by change of frame of reference".

    If someone tells me "I don't understand", it's probably because he didn't
    do anything to understand.

    We are talking here about a phenomenon known to all, and which is the way
    in which the
    clocks internal mechanism measures time.
    That is To'=To/sqrt(1-Vo²/c²)

    So don't worry Sylvia, I'm the most concrete and "baby step" of men. If I sometimes use a new term, it's because it's absolutely necessary for the
    song.
