• Relativity's most irrational claim.

    From Laurence Clark Crossen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 16 11:37:07 2023
    It denies relative motion for light.

    A cruise liner has a tennis court beneath the deck.
    A tennis ball shooter shoots balls at 20 mph in the direction the ship is sailing.
    The ship is sailing at 100 mph.
    The ball is moving relative to the water at 120 mph.

    Two flashlights placed end to end away from each other shine.
    The light beams are moving 2c relative to each other.
    Relativity denies this.

    If optical extinction rigidly prevents light speed from varying within any medium.
    Air in the MMX is moving with Earth at 30 km/sec.
    Light moves strictly at c in that air, sharing the velocity of the air, thus moving C + V relative to the Sun.

    THEN RELATIVITY WILL FIND THIS FORMULA NECESSARY:
    NEGATE RELATIVE VELOCITY FORMULA:
    u= u' + v / 1 + (u'v/c^2)

    Example:
    train= 100 mph= v
    passenger= 5mph= u'
    relative velocity= u

    5 +100= 105
    5x100= 500
    100^2= 10,000
    SO! 105/1+ (500/10,000)
    105/1+ .05 OR 105/1.05= 100= u !!!!

    ABOVE IS FOR NEGATING RELATIVE VELOCITY BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT FOR APPROACHING VELOCITY OR NEGATIVE ADDITIVE VELOCITY FOR TWO CARS AT 60mph ACH IT GIVES ZERO!!!

    "if you are standing downwind from a sound source, that sound will reach you more quickly than if you were standing the same distance upwind - because the pressure disturbance travels with the bulk of the medium." Just as sound speed in this case is S +
    V, so is light speed C + V in the above-mentioned instance.

    What evidence do you have to offer that "... light should as well making it C + V relative to the Sun"? I do believe that you are just making this up as you go along!

    There is evidence to the contrary and you can easily find it in a textbook!

    u= u' + v / 1 + (u'v/c^2)
    u= v + u' ; passenger velocity= train + passenger in train
    then 100mph + 5= 105 mph

    Omnidirectional light or a ball of light expands at 2c spherically, i.e. the diameter increases at 2c as the radius increases at c, of course,
    because light's speed is constant.

    An image from a relativistic approach exists insofar as "behind the wavefront",
    then as passing the last look and the look back, as that the look back,
    is "reverse angle", so the rear-view would only see if proceeding on the
    track the image came from, or as what image arrives in space otherwise
    as that it would go out of perspective, which would appear as having shrunk, but shrinking while it's observed, vanishing when it's not.

    I.e., something approaching directly and also meeting directly, is visible coming and going, while not directly, it's only visible where it was,
    as when the image arrives as when it was emitted.

    Loosely, ....

    Regarding the relativity formula negating additive velocity given above,
    here is the details of an example with light:
    What is the additive velocity or the velocity of the light beam to the stationary observer?
    v= space ship velocity= 0.5c
    u'= light beam leaves space ship at c in direction of the ships motion.
    u= Galilean= Observer sees light moving 1.5c
    u= Relativity= c
    REQUIRING THE FORMULA:
    c + 0.5c/ 1 + 0.5/c^2
    1.5c/ 1 + 0.5/ 9^10
    9^10= 3,486,784,401
    0.5/ 3,486,784,401 =0.00000000014339859953
    1 + 0.00000000014339859953= 1.00000000014339859953
    450,000/ 1.00000000014339859953= 449,999.99993547063022075342

    Obviously, you don't know $hit about relativity and are apparently quite proud of the fact that your huge brain can figure all of this out without *ever* having read even a single textbook! Amazing! Also, doubly amazing is that you have many clones
    here who think the exact same way as you do! You guys should form a club and have a meeting where you can all rant and rave at mainstream physics! I'm pretty sure that Woz would be glad to host an event in his basement!
    Omnidirectional light or a ball of light expands at 2c spherically, i.e. the diameter increases at 2c as the radius increases at c, of course,
    because light's speed is constant.

    An image from a relativistic approach exists insofar as "behind the wavefront",
    then as passing the last look and the look back, as that the look back,
    is "reverse angle", so the rear-view would only see if proceeding on the track the image came from, or as what image arrives in space otherwise
    as that it would go out of perspective, which would appear as having shrunk, but shrinking while it's observed, vanishing when it's not.

    I.e., something approaching directly and also meeting directly, is visible coming and going, while not directly, it's only visible where it was,
    as when the image arrives as when it was emitted.

    Loosely, ....


    When watching, it's motion and in motion.


    First, when talking about an irrational claim, is to make the case,
    that "irrational", is about the "rational". Here, "rational" is two
    things: it's both the completion of the reasoning, and, the completion
    of never being irrational, the rational. So, "relativity's most irrational", claim, would have to be so minimally irrational or directly rational,
    as what's never exercised irrational, is "irrational roots in relativity,
    are space and time units, their roots and rational roots and irrational roots".

    This is that "linear keeps in rational roots, irrational roots are also called non-linearities".

    Then, insofar as an irrational claim, then is for "what claim of Relativity actually
    is reasonably or reasonatingly irrational, claim that if irrational at all goes with it,
    other claims".

    I.e., relativity has an "ideal" "claim of irrationality", a guarantee of the guarantee's of its reasonings, that "if irrational at all falls down all roots",
    changing "confusion about everything to do with science, or here relativity, where I can't axiomatize integrable my integrand, that I do, what the guarantees of non-confusion, mean in the applied, and finally to the direct action, usually relativity's first effect, effects in light.

    Then "look" is to effect perspective, and "watch" is to effect perspective, that image is reflectively being present in the perspective, that "motion"
    and "motion in real-time", is that at any instant, the light diffuses, including shine.

    Clearly it's galilean as a "to light speed impulse", explaining for example chrome effects,
    reflections and that in effect mirrors, where the light is reflected, participate with
    the other observable incident rays at that location, going out, as reflections of sources
    make for that "under the eclipse the leaves of the tree have fringes in their shadow",
    that that moment of the focus, is that "look" is an effect of focus, that each location
    has only one "look" at a time, and is watching what it's looking at, or looking.

    I.e. "it's galilean to an infinite speed impulse, including a light speed impulse",
    making "thus effectively there are no mirrors between any two points in space".

    Then under "irrational roots" there finding either side "overcomplete" that not
    having that, property of mutual completion, it's called "Dirichlet" and "irrational roots"
    where "Dirichlet is rationals 1 irrationals 0" that "a Dirichlet function is about any
    function that density properties in completion are the same everywhere, but it's
    exactly two complementary domains only denseness properties and one 1 the other 0".

    Or, "relativity's most irrational claim" is then "for Einstein either SR or GR, here it
    is that special relativity's most irrational claim, is that light that went one meter,
    did not also go less than one meter with any object in the same 1 meter or it over 1 second".

    Then, "restoring relativity's most irrational claim to a contrivance of overcompleteness,
    a usual property guaranteeing what we have adds up, that light's speed is a constant
    and invariant, that then it's glow and shine, the optical and geometric".

    Light is always incident from all angles.

    The scale of the resolution of an image, here is what it means science has achieved "20 orders
    of magnitude resolution" and all the way to atomic scale "25 orders of magnitude resolution",
    the entire body of observability, in the micro is micro-optical and micro-geometric, and in
    the macro is macro-optical and macro-geometric, and in the meso- is optical and geometric.

    So, here I have even put the needle in "I won't even hear nonsense about relativity at all",
    "it's harder to actually of course validate special relativity experimentally", i.e. that point
    being that of course as far as I can tell, every experience I've ever had is explained quite
    well, my interpretation of having "researched special relativity" and "resolved relativity
    in foundations, physics", the point being that by being academic and making an apologetics
    first, then as it goes along I just point to the entire apologetics, mathematical foundations,
    coming up to physical foundations, of bringing that along and bringing one along, an
    entire canon and an apologetics that for "Relativity: the entire discussion and Einstein's
    theories thereon, with all respects to theories real physics", that making arguments in
    relativity always explaining "the light wasn't there", it's that special relativity is given
    the terms in the units, and dimensionless, about why "according to SI's units its these
    necessary formalisms in the Special Relativity all what may apply", is that then for
    example "wherever it falls out or even loosens in contraction, SR has no irrational
    claim in it, only any mistaken derivations after SR and other units, then also and
    especially: that SR's reflection and imaging optical and geometric the light-like,
    is built as continuity laws when not invariances, any invariance that is undercomplete".

    Then this is that "any conservation law is two conservation laws, one of it".

    And they have one continuity law, which least action in theory is time, t.

    "Relativity's most irrational claim: SR's, that things don't move, under roots
    building image, as so for each bundle of roots, that parallel transport is
    the entire picture, what under optical and gometric terms is only one point image, also only one-sided".


    Think of perspective as looking from infinitely far away, it's called 2-D perspective.

    This way mentally you reconstruct what you're seeing besides what's in front of the eyes -
    also it's the model construct in space terms which are of course equivalent: one mental drawing.

    The point is being that for Einstein and "SR or GR themselves or both",
    is that GR changes in the future, while SR is from the past, so having SR
    in front, is corresponding to the contents, which in imaging are free".

    So, one must separate "SR and GR" or "GR, then SR", and these days enough
    it's "why yes my units are classical but SR will relativize them, SR is then say
    STR and then GTR" and as Einstein's "SR, then GR, called STR then GTR".
    There's though that STR-arians say as GR then "GTR...", but it is though,
    "ah but now, my old GR is already Einstein's new old GR and already old SR's GTR to SR", so in this manner it's still SR and GR to "according to the units",
    that into STR are "these are our units..." then as "then it's one of Einstein's
    'either SR, _or_ GR_", simply gently factoring Einstein's "SR" and "GR" among the other resulting constructs, as of course they go together in usual boost addition, what are frames the entire frame.

    It's not irrational, though, both Special Relativity and General Relativity of course
    have a no-nonsense theory, which are quite true and absolutely so in all respects.

    So, any "irrational claim" about relativity must have some "how irrational is it"
    and "how is it irrational", then there's "that's obviously irrational", or, "our knowledge of the theory really ends here, picking one or the other of
    the SR or GR because I don't have both, is that SR at least is computed always as constant velocity, because everything else in the universe is moving.

    "Light never moves: only glows and goes away."

    Light Speed Rest Frame theory <-> Glow Speed Rest Frame theory

    Then, rays over time, helps establish it's a continuous theory.

    If you were honest you would have said I was correct about what the formula does yet made an error in working it out. You would have said I was honest and made an error. Using a formula to negate relative velocity is what is dishonest because it does not
    represent the physics.

    The physics is not true because, even if the source velocity does not affect the relative velocity, the sink (observer) velocity does, as in the example of the MMX given above.

    u'= light beam leaves space ship at c in direction of the ships motion.
    u= Galilean= Observer sees light moving 1.5c
    u= Relativity= c
    REQUIRING THE FORMULA:

    u' + v
    u= -------------
    1 + (u'v/c^2)

    u'= c
    v= .5c

    u' +v= 1.5c

    u'v= .5c

    c^2= = 1

    .5c/1= 0.5c

    1.5c/1.5c

    ERGO: IT AMOUNTS TO 1C REGARDLESS OF RELATIVE MOTION.
    IT IS LYING WITH MATHEMATICS.
    IT IS RELATIVITY.
    So when observer u measures the speed of that light, he gets c.

    Now all you have to do is show, by real experiment (not thought
    experiment) that that is wrong, and you'll get the Nobel prize.

    No, lady - Your gurus will simply assert that the measurement
    was "improper". Just like they're doing now.

    The physics is not true because, even if the source velocity does not affect the relative velocity, the sink (observer) velocity does, as in the example of the MMX given above.

    Your posts are nonsense.

    It has already been done, my dear Sylvia, and the person has already won
    the Nobel Prize (1907) for it thanks to a device of his creation called an "interferometer".
    It was Albert Michelson.
    Henri Poincaré in France gave the complete explanation (June 1905) with transformations called "Lorentz transformations".
    Today the question no longer arises (except among anti-relativist cranks)
    As for the general additions of all speeds, therefore including the speed
    of light, and from all angles, we can use Doctor'Hachel's equation, either
    in natural form or in vector form.
    In natural form, this gives:

    <http://news2.nemoweb.net/jntp?9zAnqjTXWGRmKenIUVIE4mtdBE0@jntp/Data.Media:1>

    in vector form, this gives:

    <http://news2.nemoweb.net/jntp?9zAnqjTXWGRmKenIUVIE4mtdBE0@jntp/Data.Media:2>

    The Hague court (Netherlands) and the Nobel Prize committee, after forty
    years of heated debate, today authorize physicists to copy these equations
    in their books, and even, admirably, students to use them in their exam
    papers. Which was unthinkable just a few months ago...

    If you were honest

    Which I am

    you would have said I was correct about what the formula does yet made
    an error in working it out.

    Your equation was incorrect and you calculated an incorrect result.

    You would have said I was honest and made an error.

    But I don't think you are honest. You come with preconceived notions
    about reality and you're not willing to accept experimental results.

    Using a formula to negate relative velocity is what is dishonest because it does
    not represent the physics.

    Ah, but it DOES agree with reality. That's why it is used.

    The physics is not true because, even if the source velocity does not affect the
    relative velocity, the sink (observer) velocity does,

    Velocity is relative and can be applied to either the source or the detector, so your
    assertion is wrong.

    as in the example of the MMX given above.

    The MMX has source and detector at rest wrt each other, so there is no relative velocity. The MMX is meant to measure the relative velocity of a presumed ether,
    which was not detected. Conclusion: either there is no ether or ether is entrained
    by the earth (which is refuted by starlight aberration experiments).

    The mere name of that site just screams "kꙩꙩksite".

    Just as sound shares the velocity of the medium, by the same token, light should as well making it C + V relative to the Sun.

    Since light has no medium, how can light have a velocity relative to its medium?

    And what the heck, are you claiming the sun is the medium for light?

    How can you tell the difference?
    Light has its own motion but so does the atom.
    The atom can compete with light.
    At a motion BH the atom moves ahead of light
    near light speed leaving light behind.

    Sciencevstruth.org is a flat-out crank site. From the owner of that site...

    "I am a general surgeon turned truth seeker and philosopher"

    It is generally irrelvant, what the profession of a person is, who made

    If you want to reject a statement, than you need to reject the statement itself, not its proponent.

    It is in all cases illegal to adress the proponent himself on the basis

    certain ethnic groups or similar.

    Just stick to the topic and disprove the statement itself!

    The ball is moving relative to the water at 120 mph.

    In relativity you need to describe this more precisely.

    Two flashlights placed end to end away from each other shine.
    The light beams are moving 2c relative to each other.
    Relativity denies this.

    Again, you are omitting the basic assumptions of the theory.
    "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

    If optical extinction rigidly prevents light speed from varying within any medium.
    Air in the MMX is moving with Earth at 30 km/sec.
    Light moves strictly at c in that air, sharing the velocity of the air, thus moving C + V relative to the Sun.

    And now you've changedc the context.

    THEN RELATIVITY WILL FIND THIS FORMULA NECESSARY:
    NEGATE RELATIVE VELOCITY FORMULA:
    u= u' + v / 1 + (u'v/c^2)

    Example:
    train= 100 mph= v
    passenger= 5mph= u'
    relative velocity= u

    5 +100= 105
    5x100= 500
    100^2= 10,000
    SO! 105/1+ (500/10,000)
    105/1+ .05 OR 105/1.05= 100= u !!!!

    ABOVE IS FOR NEGATING RELATIVE VELOCITY BECAUSE IF YOU DO IT FOR APPROACHING VELOCITY OR NEGATIVE ADDITIVE VELOCITY FOR TWO CARS AT 60mph ACH IT GIVES ZERO!!!

    Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of any NATO expansion. Of course he
    uses it as a propaganda tool. But his real motivation is the restoration of
    the Russian empire. Without NATO expansion he would have invaded Ukraine exactly the same and at the same time(*), he'd only have used a different excuse (typically they use "the oppression of the ethnic Russians" card").

    Id like to hear what sort of BS you can pull out of your backside to prove this false claim. Although I do understand that faced with having to admit MMX
    does confirm light travels at constant speeds in non inertial frames..
    its a good tactic for you to change the subject to another experiment.
    (Even though it’s inevitable that this new experiment will also confirm emission theory. Like IvesStillwell or Sagnac for instance. But it will buy you a bit more time to figure out what the next change of subject for you could be)

    you would have said I was correct about what the formula does yet made

    Your equation was incorrect and you calculated an incorrect result.

    You would have said I was honest and made an error.

    But I don't think you are honest. You come with preconceived notions about reality and you're not willing to accept experimental results.

    You just looked in the mirror Gary. And saw the sick beast and did not like it.

    Ahh! So you do admit that empirical data from MMX shows that light does travel

    Apparently, you don't think at all. May we call you "Rock"?
    Using a formula to negate relative velocity is what is dishonest because it does
    not represent the physics.

    Ah, but it DOES agree with reality. That's why it is used.

    But the galilean u= v+u’ also agrees with reality. That’s why it’s used.

    So you prove your own dishonesty by spouting a partial truth. The GT

    in the application. You're as bad as Wozzie-boy.

    In other words you can’t deny u=v+u’ agrees with what you called “ reality”

    No wonder we have global warming with you lot in charge.

    The physics is not true because, even if the source velocity does not
    affect the relative velocity, the sink (observer) velocity does,

    Velocity is relative and can be applied to either the source or the detector,
    so your assertion is wrong.

    as in the example of the MMX given above.

    The MMX has source and detector at rest wrt each other, so there is no relative
    velocity. The MMX is meant to measure the relative velocity of a presumed ether,
    which was not detected. Conclusion: either there is no ether or ether is entrained
    by the earth (which is refuted by starlight aberration experiments).

    Notice if there is no ether...it does not follow that lightspeed cannot be c+v for
    any observer.

    The MMX cannot determine that because the source and detector are at rest wrt each
    other - DUH! Other experiments have determined that c is invariant. You've stuck your

    Well..its not quite so simple.

    Measuring the SOL in different inertial frames requires moving clocks.
    Clocks are calibrated by the SOL. Its circular because clocks are assumed to tick invariantly by the POR.

    Its an:

    A1) All that is red is a plant
    A2) Grass is red
    C0) Thus grass is a plant

    effect. False axioms can result in a true conclusion.

    Its clear that Lorentz Invariance is an accurate description of
    observations. However, the correctness of the LT doesn't depend on the
    axioms of SR.

    Because the two axioms of SR cannot be verified independently, due to their circular nature, there are other axioms that can also result in the LT.

    Indeed, one consistent alternative is the Lorenzt Ether Theory. However, it
    is strongly noted that an ether of Lorenz's understanding isn't a
    requirement or claimed, any Lorentz Invariant background field will do.
    Lorentz clearly wasn't aware of modern massless quantum fields.

    So, The POR states that the rate of clock ticks must be independent of
    inertial frame. However, directly, measuring clocks ticks of inertial
    frames shows they, apparently do change.

    SR resolves this apparent conflict by claiming that this is an illusion,
    such that clocks are actually experiencing more time (different path in "space-time"). That is, time is covereved at a different rate, say 100s/s.

    The alternative is simply that clocks do indeed tick slow when moving
    through a background field, such that the same Lorentz invariance of a
    velocity unobservable, but actually existing background field.

    Why does this matter?

    Well... it eliminates the nonsensical block universe consequence of SR

    Lee Smolin:

    "...And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously
    for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made
    time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a
    logical and metaphysical dead end…”

    That is, SR states that the future is deterministic, Quantum Mechanics says
    it isn't.

    It also eliminates magic. The SR worldview states that a true empty universe has physical characteristics. This is also nonsensical. X, T and c are
    clearly meaningless in such a universe. There are no clocks and rulers in
    such a universe to verify such a metaphysical claim.

    Its clear that this universe is no where empty, thus attributing an
    invariant SOL to an emergent property of Quantum Fields eliminates this
    magic.

    Sure they are. Its fundamental to the axioms of SR. According to SR, clocks tick at the same rate irrespective of inertial velocity, that is, clock
    ticks are invariant with respect to inertial velocity.

    Clock tick *rates*, never change, according to the POR, thus clock tick
    rates are invariant. That's what "invariant" means.


    Its clear that Lorentz Invariance is an accurate description of
    observations. However, the correctness of the LT doesn't depend on the
    axioms of SR.

    Of course it doesn't. The LT is a description of reality, not a caise of
    it.

    That's not the point, the statement isn't a claim that the LT is a cause of
    SR, it is a statement that the axioms of SR may be wrong yet the LT still remains valid.

    A cause of the LT might well be a background field.

    Because the two axioms of SR cannot be verified independently, due to
    their
    circular nature, there are other axioms that can also result in the LT.

    They are not circular, and they can be confirmed experimentally.

    Nope, the two axioms cannot be confirmed independently of each other.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious.
    Unfortunately, its also clear from the literature, that many have missed
    this.

    The POR states that the laws of physics are independent of inertial frame.
    This means that clock tick rates must be independent of inertial frame.

    The POR requires a definition of time to know that clocks satisfy it. Time
    is defined by clock tick rates.

    The SOL also requires a definition of time, that is it relies on clock tick rates being *assumed* to be independent of inertial frame.

    That is, all measurements to confirm the invariance of the SOL, must use clocks. However, its impossible to independently measure the tick rates of clocks, without referring back to the SOL. Thus the SOL and clock tick rates are inherently interlocked. They can both change together, and still achieve the same results.

    Its well known that SOL, Length and Time are locked together by
    *definition*. Because they are interdependent, one can arbitrarily co vary
    any of them and not change the results.

    Indeed its now well accepted that The Lorentz Ether Theory is an alternative approach to the LT. Indeed, it was discovered prior to SR. It is entirely consistent. There is no experimentally way, within a specific domain, to distinguish them.

    This is not a claim that the LET is correct, however, it *proves* that
    axioms contradictory the the SR axioms still result in the same LT
    description of observations.

    The reason *WHY* this is possible, is precisely *BECAUSE* the axioms are "DEPENDANT" on each other. LET and SR both work because their axioms,
    whilst consistent, depend on each other.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_ether_theory.

    SR claims that there is this entity "space-time", that is "time" that exists *independent* of clocks, such that clocks can travel through this "time" at different rates, say 100 secs/sec, thus accounting for clock reading
    different on "different paths in space-time".

    However, its quite impossible to determine that this "time" can be travelled through at different rates, without having a method, other than clocks, to determine just what this magical thing "time" is.

    Its the elephant in the room that most ignore in complete ignorance of the problem. In SR "time" and "clocks" cannot be the same, yet its impossible to define one without the other, thus time and clocks form a circular
    definition.

    Unless time can be defined independently of clocks, its impossible to know
    that the apparent measured slow clock tick rates of inertial clocks are not because the clocks are indeed physically slowing down in a background,
    rather than travelling through time "space-time" at a faster rate as
    demanded by SR.

    Clocks read different on inertial trips. To explain this *requires*
    independent definitions of time and clocks.

    Unfortunately, many just haven't cottoned on to the slight of hand of time being defined by clocks and clocks defining time....

    However, feel free to describe an experiment that *simultaneously* shows the invariance of the SOL AND the invariance of clocks ticks with inertial
    frames.

    The reality is, if there is invariance for both, SR results, if not, among others, LET results.

    The problem with the SR *model*, is that it assigns physical characteristics
    to truly empty space. This is magic, as noted here:

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    Indeed, the major issues with Relativity's concept of time is noted here:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_time

    ...as noted in the Lee Smolin quote

    "...And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously
    for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made
    time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a
    logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin."

    Today, its trivially obvious, that Einstein's two axioms formed a stop gap, blind "as if" behavioural model. Time and space cannot be the result of a physically empty geometric construct, that is the magic of the emperors new clothes

    Space:

    Space is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real
    physical, measurable objects do not all merge into one object. It expresses
    the fact that there are discrete, separate objects that can be identified
    from other objects. Without individual physical objects, space does not
    exist. That is, “space” is how separation of physical objects is accounted for.

    Time:

    Time is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real physical, separate measurable objects change their state such as position and
    momentum. If no individual mass-energy objects changes their state,
    including the quantum vacuum, time does not exist. That is, “time” is how change of a physical object’s state is accounted for.

    Time and Space cannot exist in a physically empty universe, thus the claim
    that the SOL in vacuum, exists is nonsensical. Of course, there is no where
    in the universe that is empty.

    The properties of space and time must be an emergent phenomena of real
    physical objects, such as quantum fields. I have no idea of the details, but
    I don't hold to magic.

    Notice if there is no ether...it does not follow that lightspeed cannot be c+v for any observer.

    The MMX cannot determine that because the source and detector are at rest
    wrt each other - DUH! Other experiments have determined that c is invariant.

    Well..its not quite so simple.

    Measuring the SOL in different inertial frames requires moving clocks. Clocks are calibrated by the SOL. Its circular because clocks are assumed to tick invariantly by the POR.

    Clock ticks are n't "invariant.." They measure "proper" time.

    Sure they are. Its fundamental to the axioms of SR. According to SR, clocks tick at the same rate irrespective of inertial velocity, that is, clock ticks are invariant with respect to inertial velocity.

    You're conflating "invariance" with "proper."

    Clock tick *rates*, never change, according to the POR, thus clock tick rates are invariant. That's what "invariant" means.

    Clocks exhibit time dilation, thus time is not invariant.

    Its clear that Lorentz Invariance is an accurate description of observations. However, the correctness of the LT doesn't depend on the axioms of SR.

    Of course it doesn't. The LT is a description of reality, not a caise of it.

    That's not the point, the statement isn't a claim that the LT is a cause of SR, it is a statement that the axioms of SR may be wrong yet the LT still remains valid.

    A cause of the LT might well be a background field.

    That is irrelevant. As Mermin said, "Shut up and calculate."

    Because the two axioms of SR cannot be verified independently, due to their
    circular nature, there are other axioms that can also result in the LT.

    They are not circular, and they can be confirmed experimentally.

    Nope, the two axioms cannot be confirmed independently of each other.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious. Unfortunately, its also clear from the literature, that many have missed this.

    The POR states that the laws of physics are independent of inertial frame. This means that clock tick rates must be independent of inertial frame.

    And that's where you go flying off into wrongland.

    The POR requires a definition of time to know that clocks satisfy it. Time is defined by clock tick rates.

    The SOL also requires a definition of time, that is it relies on clock tick rates being *assumed* to be independent of inertial frame.

    YOU are the only one assuming that :-))

    That is, all measurements to confirm the invariance of the SOL, must use clocks. However, its impossible to independently measure the tick rates of clocks, without referring back to the SOL. Thus the SOL and clock tick rates are inherently interlocked. They can both change together, and still achieve the same results.

    This violates the historical record. You must be a historian.

    depends on what you mean by "time":

    If you mean the value displayed by a specific clock at a specific event (point) in spacetime, that _IS_ invariant under change of coordinates (because it is completely independent of coordinates).

    In this scenario, an observer in S' reads a clock in S as he passes, yes?
    Of course, he reads what and observer in S reads.

    If you mean the time coordinate of a given coordinate system, that _IS_ invariant under change of coordinates (a coordinate system is a diffeomorphism from a region of the manifold to a region of R^4 --
    using other coordinates does not affect the mapping of the given
    coordinate system).

    That seems very similar to the one above. They are basically not
    very interesting results. Sort of like tautologies.

    If you mean the elapsed proper time along the path of a specific clock,
    that _IS_ invariant under change of coordinates (because it is
    completely independent of coordinates).

    So one of two observers in S' read the clock in S at t1 and t2, so of course
    he gets the proper time, t2 - t1; however, they must be read at times t1' and t2' which are different from t1 and t2 and different from t2' - t1', introducing
    your next option:

    If you mean how coordinate systems each map their time coordinate to the time displayed on a given clock, that is not invariant under change of coordinates. This is where "time dilation" occurs (and is the only place
    it occurs).

    Tom Roberts

    Yes, of course, this is the interesting one. Aylward referred to this, which you
    have dubbed a possible definition of invariant:

    Clock tick *rates*, never change, according to the POR, thus clock tick
    rates are invariant. That's what "invariant" means.

    But he conflates the definition of the passage proper time in S with the passage of time in S', perspective from the moving system and vice versa:

    Measuring the SOL in different inertial frames requires moving clocks. Clocks are calibrated by the SOL. Its circular because clocks are assumed to tick invariantly by the POR.

    He appears to be badly confused and I doubt if your input was particularly helpful to him. Heck, it took me a while to figure out how to respond, correctly, I hope :-)

    BTW, have you been following the "discussion" about Weber equation on a different thread?

    I don’t think anyone can actually see what’s happening inside the
    caesium atom as it is sitting on the ground or in a satelitte. It’s all theoretical conjecture for any theory. But my “evidence” is reference on: Force, gravity, gravitational potential etc for theory
    And reference on Nuclear magnetic resonance, descriptions
    of how caesium clocks operate, spectral lines of elements, PMT’s,
    etc . And of course information on harmonic oscillators and everyday observations of resonating systems in nature or technology including spring based harmonic oscillators, vibrating structures and engines etc.
    I doubt you could ever supply any observational evidence of your wristwatch speeding up as you take the elevator up to your penthouse.

    Only if you ignore basic physics. The Force on the atoms which slows

    http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/gpot.html

    Even Albert recognised the connection between

    think it was due to his delusional theories of relativity.

    How deep can you get into a gravity time well?
    Light does not slow down as c so it does not obey
    escape speed leaving gravity. It is c constant.
    The atom responds to escape velocity instead.
    Voyagers are slowing down because of that.
    Light isn't...

    You have that backwards. It is your silly idea that resonances cause all

    No, according to the first postulate, the laws of nature are locally the

    only the effects of gravitational potential differences from one point
    to another which causes a frequency difference (via redshift or blueshift).

    No, it is not! Gravitational potential is not a force! Gravitational acceleration (times the mass) is the force. Gravitational potential and gravitational acceleration vary with distance differently. GR effects
    vary with potential (1/r relationship). Gravitational acceleration is
    what causes force/weight which would cause affects on a mass-based
    resonance.

    Even Albert recognised the connection between
    resonant frequency and g potential.

    No, he knew GR varied with potential differences, not force, so there is
    no direct connection.

    vary with potential (1/r relationship). Gravitational acceleration is
    what causes force/weight which would cause affects on a mass-based resonance.

    I’ve heard this boloney above before. Fact is:
    Gravity is a force. Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
    And GMm/r does correctly model the gravitational force on
    atoms which causes the atoms natural resonant
    frequencies to change at different altitudes.
    Notice even going back to late 17th C the force of gravity
    at different distances r was predicated on the assumption
    that the gravitational “shadow” disc of the planet as seen from
    the hypothetical observer decreases inversely proportional
    to the observers distance r. Not inverse r squared.
    Basic geometry. Try doing an experiment.
    Place a ball on a table at distance x from camera lens
    Photograph it. Move it back to distance 2x. Photo that
    and compare disc sizes of both images.
    The 2x disc will be half the size of the x disc.
    That distance relationship is not r^2.


    Grow up, stop fantasising about magic goblins and relativistic
    warp drives and start leaning basic maths and geometry for a change .

    Even Albert recognised the connection between
    resonant frequency and g potential.
    No, he knew GR varied with potential differences, not force, so there is
    no direct connection.

    Didn’t stop him from using ‘r’ and not r^2 when he was trying to con his followers into thinking changes in natural resonant frequencies due to external force was actually magic goblins farting in different time dimensions.

    So you admit that you have no evidence for your "resonance" claims.

    No Volney. I’m trying to get you to realise that you have no evidence
    to prove that external force cannot change natural frequencies of
    atomic resonance.
    You have that backwards. It is your silly idea that resonances cause all
    the changes in natural frequencies via resonances, you have to support
    your claim. Plus one cannot prove a negative.

    I can support my claim. GPS, Hafael Keating, Pound Rebka all
    prove that atomic resonance changes its natural resonant frequencies

    No, they don't. You only wish that they do.

    When subjected to external force. Be it gravity or horizontal acceleration (What Relativists term as ‘kinematic’ and ‘gravitational’.)

    The Cs atoms in an atomic clock are in freefall.

    As observed in Caesium atoms whose natural
    resonant frequency slows down when subjected to additional
    force due to either acceleration or gravitational force.

    No, according to the first postulate, the laws of nature are locally the
    same everywhere. So a Cs clock ticks at one second per second. It is
    only the effects of gravitational potential differences from one point
    to another which causes a frequency difference (via redshift or blueshift).

    The first postulate. Hmm ..what part of the bible was that from again?

    Go show the first postulate as being false and collect your Nobel Prize.
    It's like conservation of momentum, conservation of charge and so forth.
    If they were shown to be false so much physics just falls apart. The
    first postulate simply states the laws of physics are the same
    everywhere (and everywhen). Meaning, in this case, 1 second to a local
    observer is 9192631770 Cs atomic transitions, whether the atomic clock
    is on earth or in orbit.

    Notice I have endless amounts of evidence to back up my claim

    You have no evidence whatsoever.

    Oh I forgot...relativists don’t do evidence.

    No, you don't do evidence. You haven't shown *any* evidence in this thread.

    I suppose I better not mention my evidence from Hafael Keating or GPS.

    You don't have any evidence from them. They are evidence supporting
    SR/GR instead.

    It might destabilise an already destabilised relativist.

    You have none to disprove it.

    You cannot disprove a negative.

    Blarney

    Yet it's true. Provide a proof that unicorns don't exist. A real proof,
    not just "nobody has ever seen one".

    Plus, as I stated, resonance would go proportional to force (inverse r >>>> squared) while GR effects are proportional to potential (inverse r).


    Only if you ignore basic physics. The Force on the atoms which slows
    down its natural resonant frequency is also referred to
    as gravitational potential.

    No, it is not! Gravitational potential is not a force! Gravitational
    acceleration (times the mass) is the force. Gravitational potential and
    gravitational acceleration vary with distance differently. GR effects
    vary with potential (1/r relationship). Gravitational acceleration is
    what causes force/weight which would cause affects on a mass-based
    resonance.

    I’ve heard this boloney above before. Fact is:
    Gravity is a force. Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
    And GMm/r does correctly model the gravitational force on
    atoms which causes the atoms natural resonant
    frequencies to change at different altitudes.

    GMm/r isn't even a force! It has units of energy, instead.

    GMm/r² is a force, the force of gravity.

    Notice even going back to late 17th C the force of gravity
    at different distances r was predicated on the assumption
    that the gravitational “shadow” disc of the planet as seen from
    the hypothetical observer decreases inversely proportional
    to the observers distance r. Not inverse r squared.

    Yet the force is known since Newton to go as inverse r squared.

    Basic geometry. Try doing an experiment.
    Place a ball on a table at distance x from camera lens
    Photograph it. Move it back to distance 2x. Photo that
    and compare disc sizes of both images.
    The 2x disc will be half the size of the x disc.

    But 1/4 the area, which is what counts.

    That distance relationship is not r^2.

    The exposed area is.


    Grow up, stop fantasising about magic goblins and relativistic
    warp drives and start leaning basic maths and geometry for a change .

    The math and geometry of special relativity is beautiful, fascinating.

    Even Albert recognised the connection between
    resonant frequency and g potential.

    No, he knew GR varied with potential differences, not force, so there is
    no direct connection.

    Didn’t stop him from using ‘r’ and not r^2 when he was trying to con his
    followers into thinking changes in natural resonant frequencies due to external force was actually magic goblins farting in different time dimensions.

    Word salad. Albert never connected resonant frequencies to inverse r.

    In pound Rebka it is the different resonant rates of the atoms in the detector at a different altitude that create the illusion of relativistic dilation.

    Nothing to do with relativity.

    :-))

    Said Gary as he floated off into space.
    If it isn’t a force Gary,...then what is pushing you/pulling you

    Oh I know..Albert Einstein’s relativistic glue.

    Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
    And GMm/r does correctly model the gravitational force
    Nope. F = GMm/r^2. Gravitational potential is GM/r.

    If gravity has nothing to do with GM/r...then why does it take
    work Energy/ force to lift an object from earths surface to an altitude?
    What force is this ‘work’ being applied against if gravity has nothing
    to do with gravitational potential?

    Anyways I have evidence that GM/r correctly models the different resonant frequencies die to differing gravitational strengths at different altitudes. GPS, Hafael Keating, Pound Rebka etc

    That distance relationship is not r^2.
    Diameter varies as 1/r, but area is what counts, and area varies as 1/r^2.

    You can’t change the rules governing the universe.
    Because what really counts is distance between M and m.
    It’s modelled mathematically as GM/r
    And the evidence from Hafael Keating confirms this relationship
    between force and distance from Center.
    It is a mistake to think that acceleration is force.
    Force creates the acceleration. Acceleration is just a way to
    measure the effects of the force. Acceleration is just a definition of

    But they do. Didn’t you claim that the observed change in ticking rates

    That change is due to the different force exerted on atoms at different altitudes. As defined by GM/r.
    You can’t win the argument. Because relativity only assumes that observed effects are relativistic. All theory, including relativity or classical, is assumption only.
    As long as assumptions matches predictions.
    Also in classical theory resonance had already been observed as a precedence. In that changing a resonant systems weight or mass will alter
    it’s natural resonant frequency. Heavier= slower . As observed in Caesium atoms.
    At least Classical theory has precedence. SR and GR don’t.

    When subjected to external force. Be it gravity or horizontal acceleration (What Relativists term as ‘kinematic’ and ‘gravitational’.)

    BUT, I will always only see it tick out seconds and not notice any difference. Regardless of altitude. Only if I compare my clock to another at
    a different altitude will I see any difference.And it will always be
    the other clock which is running at a different rate. Not mine.

    Wrong. GMm/r and GMm/r^2 are only mathematical formulas.
    Neither are a force. They are squiggles on paper.
    Force is what we experience when we are pulled to the floor by an invisible unknown
    mechanism. No one knows what “force” really is. We can only measure it

    Volume is r^3 . Area r^2. Circumference and diameter r.
    I’ll use r. It works. And if pressed I can say this force is
    directional. It points in one vector. And the volume and
    gravitational mass is greatest in a line going through the Center
    of the earth to the observer. And Force points in this direction
    And this is best modelled by r.
    Anyways you ignore the facts that:
    A) Relativity arbitrarily uses r not r^2 or r^3. Why is Albert allowed
    to use r but not a classical model?
    B) Gravitational potential uses r. And describes this as the amount of
    work needed to raise an object to a certain altitude.
    What is the force that requires this amount of work to be neccesary?
    The only force that could do this is the force of gravity pressing back.
    So therefore all things being equal, if it takes x amount of workforce to raise an object against G.
    Then G must be pushing back at this same amount x of force.
    Otherwise you will have a deficit on one side of the equation.

    I’ve heard this boloney above before. Fact is:
    Gravity is a force. Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
    And GMm/r does correctly model the gravitational force on
    atoms which causes the atoms natural resonant
    frequencies to change at different altitudes.
    GMm/r isn't even a force! It has units of energy, instead.

    GMm/r² is a force, the force of gravity.

    Not to mention ...escape velocity. The force needed to counter
    the force of gravity is modelled by r. Not r^2


    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity



    Notice even going back to late 17th C the force of gravity
    at different distances r was predicated on the assumption
    that the gravitational “shadow” disc of the planet as seen from
    the hypothetical observer decreases inversely proportional
    to the observers distance r. Not inverse r squared.
    Yet the force is known since Newton to go as inverse r squared.
    Basic geometry. Try doing an experiment.
    Place a ball on a table at distance x from camera lens
    Photograph it. Move it back to distance 2x. Photo that
    and compare disc sizes of both images.
    The 2x disc will be half the size of the x disc.
    But 1/4 the area, which is what counts.
    That distance relationship is not r^2.
    The exposed area is.


    Grow up, stop fantasising about magic goblins and relativistic
    warp drives and start leaning basic maths and geometry for a change .
    The math and geometry of special relativity is beautiful, fascinating.

    Even Albert recognised the connection between
    resonant frequency and g potential.

    No, he knew GR varied with potential differences, not force, so there is >> no direct connection.

    Didn’t stop him from using ‘r’ and not r^2 when he was trying to con his
    followers into thinking changes in natural resonant frequencies due to external force was actually magic goblins farting in different time dimensions.
    Word salad. Albert never connected resonant frequencies to inverse r.

    Louie, Louie, Louie! You're the only one pretending it has nothing to do

    Force creates the acceleration. Acceleration is just a way to
    measure the effects of the force. Acceleration is just a definition of
    the change in rate of velocity.

    Or does acceleration create force? Deceleration is just negative
    acceleration. When a moving object is suddenly stopped by running
    into a stationary object, the stationary object is subjected to a force.
    So force is a way to measure acceleration.

    You don't know the difference between gravitational potential and force

    If GM/r is not modelling gravitational force....then why is it called *gravitational* potential?
    And if you are suggesting doing ‘work’ involves applying no force or energy...then please let me know the secret because you have
    just invented free energy.

    And why is it that it’s OK for relativity to use GM/r to model the ticking rates of atoms at different altitudes ..but not OK for a classical model
    to use GM/r to model the ticking rates of atoms at different altitudes ?

    And the evidence from Hafael Keating confirms this relationship
    between force and distance from Center.

    Assuming the conclusion.

    It is a mistake to think that acceleration is force.
    Force creates the acceleration. Acceleration is just a way to
    measure the effects of the force. Acceleration is just a definition of the change in rate of velocity.

    Force = mass * acceleration but that doesn't have anything to do with GR varying as potential, not acceleration/force.

    GR is a separate theory to classical theory. But if you are trying to

    as dictated by gravitational potential, doesn’t need any force to counter

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    Escape velocity is a velocity (duh-h-h!), not a force! It is determined
    by the amount of potential (GM/r) it has to work against for an object
    to escape.

    The kinematic data from Hafael Keating shows the horizontal acceleration (produced by force) of the east and westward planes on tick rates follows
    the same rate as GM/r does for the gravity force pushing down. In other words...
    Comparing tick rates of different strengths of horizontal force applied to the plane (and thus the caesium atoms) shows that less force applied leads to a proportionally smaller rate of increase of ticking of the resonant frequency of the atoms. And greater force applied results in a larger rate of decrease in the ticking of the atoms natural frequency. Confirming that
    GM/r must be used to model not only the force of gravity at different altitudes on atoms tick rates. But also for the force applied horizontally.

    First is speed in kilometers per hour relative to earth Center followed by tick rate in
    nanoseconds gained, lost.

    Westward plane 800 kph +96
    Observer 1600 kph. 0
    Westward plane 2400 kph -184

    Notice the higher the speed of the plane relative to the earth Center
    the greater the rate of change in the slowing of the ticking rate. Echoing GM/r
    in gravitational force on rate of change in ticking.( Ie more G force slower ticking)
    A 800 kph increase in speed to 1600, relative to earth Center gives only a 90 nanosecond decrease in ticking. ANOTHER 800 kph increase in speed to 2400
    for the eastward plane results in approx 180 nanosecond decrease in ticking.
    In other words the stronger the downward force of G and the stronger the horizontal force applied. Leads to a greater rate of decrease in ticking.

    But you need force (gravity)to accelerate something downwards

    The units of velocity are meters/second (m/s).

    Nope, a jet plane can go in a dive and its engines can accelerate its

    Oh I know..Albert Einstein’s relativistic glue.

    Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.

    Nobody said that gravity has nothing to do with GM/r. I even called that

    then why does it take

    Why are you conflating energy and force? Do you even understand the

    to lift an object from earths surface to an altitude?
    What force is this ‘work’ being applied against if gravity has nothing

    Again conflating gravitational force with gravitational potential.

    Anyways I have evidence that GM/r correctly models the different resonant frequencies die to differing gravitational strengths at different altitudes.

    Again with empty claims of evidence.

    Diameter varies as 1/r, but area is what counts, and area varies as 1/r^2.

    You can’t change the rules governing the universe.

    So why are you trying to change the rules by claiming GR effects are due
    to gravitational force? When even the relationship is incorrect.

    Because what really counts is distance between M and m.
    It’s modelled mathematically as GM/r

    For potential, but not the force.

    And the evidence from Hafael Keating confirms this relationship
    between force and distance from Center.

    No, it confirms GR.

    It is a mistake to think that acceleration is force.
    Force creates the acceleration. Acceleration is just a way to

    You're conflating "invariance" with "proper."

    Clocks exhibit time dilation, thus time is not invariant.

    In this context, observers travel through "time" at different rates. The different rates, say 100 secs/sec is the equivalent of taking different
    paths from London to Edinburgh. The clocks simple read off the amount of
    time they cover. They don't run slow or fast.

    That is, because clocks travel though "time" at different rates, according
    to SR, clocks will be observed to run slow, despite that the clocks do not
    run slow. This is "time dilation".

    It works in the same way as Dr. Who in his TARDIS. Dr. Who's time and clocks runs just as normal, however, he gets to the future before other observers.

    Clocks running slow is a feature of background theories such as the Lorentz Ether Theory, not Special Relativity.



    Its clear that Lorentz Invariance is an accurate description of observations. However, the correctness of the LT doesn't depend on the axioms of SR.

    Of course it doesn't. The LT is a description of reality, not a caise of it.

    That's not the point, the statement isn't a claim that the LT is a cause
    of
    SR, it is a statement that the axioms of SR may be wrong yet the LT still
    remains valid.

    A cause of the LT might well be a background field.

    That is irrelevant. As Mermin said, "Shut up and calculate."

    Oh dear.... you are a victim of the emperors new clothes syndrome.

    It is relevant in that it is impossible for physical processes to occur
    without physical causes.

    It matters when physics has reached a brick wall in constructing a quantum theory of gravity, almost certainly, in part, because of the incompatibility
    of time in QM and GR.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_time

    It's also relevant in that those such as you don't understand that that they are actually describing such background field explanations, yet believe that they are describing SR.


    Because the two axioms of SR cannot be verified independently, due to their
    circular nature, there are other axioms that can also result in the
    LT.

    They are not circular, and they can be confirmed experimentally.

    Nope, the two axioms cannot be confirmed independently of each other.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious. Unfortunately, its also clear from the literature, that many have missed this.

    The POR states that the laws of physics are independent of inertial
    frame.
    This means that clock tick rates must be independent of inertial frame.

    And that's where you go flying off into wrongland.

    Again, you simply have no correct understanding of SR.

    No observer can tell if he is moving with respect to another inertial
    observer. This is fundamental to the POR mate. This means that no observer's clock can tick any different from another.

    Observers take "different paths in space-time". That's why clocks and
    lengths, apparently, read differently, in SR, not because rules and clocks change how they record events.

    Background approaches modify the processes themselves.

    You should take the time to actually understand the distinction to
    understand SR correctly.

    Once one understands SR correctly, one can then get a grasp of what issues there are with it, and noted by Lee Smolin.

    The POR requires a definition of time to know that clocks satisfy it. Time
    is defined by clock tick rates.

    The SOL also requires a definition of time, that is it relies on clock
    tick
    rates being *assumed* to be independent of inertial frame.

    YOU are the only one assuming that :-))

    It's fundamental to the SR interpretation of the LT, that clock ticks are independent of inertial frame. This isn't debatable.

    You have a comic book understanding of SR. Seriously.

    That is, all measurements to confirm the invariance of the SOL, must use
    clocks. However, its impossible to independently measure the tick rates
    of
    clocks, without referring back to the SOL. Thus the SOL and clock tick
    rates
    are inherently interlocked. They can both change together, and still
    achieve
    the same results.

    This violates the historical record. You must be a historian.

    In other words "nope, I am unable to describe a method of measuring the SOL
    AND clock rates independently, from inertial observers so will just blabber"

    This is pretty simple. the SOL requires a definition of time and length. To verify the SOL for another inertial system, one needs to independently
    measure both the SOL and the TIME in that inertial system. This is
    impossible.

    The ability to have different definitions of time and the SOL is what allows approaches such as

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_dynamics

    SR uses a consistent set of definitions, however, consistency does not mean correct. This is why LET exists as valid theory.

    In pound Rebka it is the different resonant rates of the atoms in the detector

    Nothing to do with relativity.
    Flail, flail, flail.

    Fact is: Gravity is a force.
    :-))

    Said Gary as he floated off into space.
    If it isn’t a force Gary,...then what is pushing you/pulling you
    towards the earths surface?
    Oh I know..Albert Einstein’s relativistic glue.

    Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity.
    And GMm/r does correctly model the gravitational force
    Nope. F = GMm/r^2. Gravitational potential is GM/r.

    If gravity has nothing to do with GM/r...

    Nobody said that gravity has nothing to do with GM/r. I even called that
    the gravitational potential many times.

    And like I said..Einstein used r (g potential) to model his tick rates.
    He knew it would work.
    Why can’t classical theory use r?
    The usual...one rule for relativity, another wrong one ( acceleration) for classical.
    It’s called match fixing by crooked relativists.
    Ives Stillwell did it too. They deliberately used
    the wrong equation for classical to make sure it gave incorrect predictions. And then stole the correct classical formula and pretended it was relativity’s
    formula.
    And by the way you are wrong to pretend area is r^2 for a push classical
    model. As the “shadow cast” definitely does not not diminish by r^2.
    I calculate what observer at Center of sphere would see. So at r, earths surface,
    1/2 the observed area of the inside of the sphere is earth, the other 1/2 sky. At 2r it’s 33% of total area of the inside of the sphere is earths shadow...etc.
    (Its Not strictly r but definitely not r^2)
    r=100% (earths surface)
    2r=33%
    3r =21%
    4r=16%
    5r=13%

    There is little data on observed rates of increase in
    ticking for 2r and above except gravity probe A&B and GPS.
    But using that data in graph form* gives approx values for r as:
    r 0
    2r +320 ps
    3r +400 ps
    4r +500 ps
    5r +580 ps

    Not too far off from the classical predictions.

    You're conflating "invariance" with "proper."

    You are simply confused.

    Au contraire, Ailing One, I know what "proper" means. You do, too, but you want to call it something else. Not a good idea!

    Clocks exhibit time dilation, thus time is not invariant.

    Oh dear....you clearly do not understand SR, clocks or time.

    Pot, kettle, black, Confused One.

    SR holds that there is an entity "space-time" that is measured by different observers with rulers and clocks. "space-time" is an invariant.

    That is, in this context there is an entity "time" that is measured by clocks.

    There is also rulers which measure the space part. You seem to be
    ignoring that.

    In this context, observers travel through "time" at different rates.

    Fuzzy language. All inertial observers travel through time at the
    PROPER rate of 1 second/second. Clocks moving wrt an observer
    are OBSERVED to travel through time at different rares. They still
    have the same PROPER time of 1 sec/sec.

    The > different rates, say 100 secs/sec is the equivalent of taking different
    paths from London to Edinburgh. The clocks simple read off the amount of time they cover. They don't run slow or fast.

    The only you got wrong is that clocks do NOT "travel through time at
    different rates." You're making the mistake that the reading of clocks observed
    by an observer in relative motion is somehow unique and absolute. Another observer moving at a different speed with disagree, so you can't say the moving clock is running slow at some specific rate.

    Clocks running slow is a feature of background theories such as the Lorentz Ether Theory, not Special Relativity.

    No, it's what YOU are saying, and it's weirdly distorted.

    A cause of the LT might well be a background field.

    It matters when physics has reached a brick wall in constructing a quantum theory of gravity, almost certainly, in part, because of the incompatibility of time in QM and GR.

    Another fuzzy assertion. Although basic QM has absolute time, QFT is based
    on SR.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_time

    Didn't you read the disclaimer at the beginning of that link?

    "This article needs attention from an expert in Physics. The specific problem is: his article has some interesting ideas in it, but some of it is wrong"

    It's also relevant in that those such as you don't understand that that they are actually describing such background field explanations, yet believe that they are describing SR.

    Nope. You use fuzzy language like "background field explanations" with NO explanation of its meaning. A sure sign of balderdash.

    Nope, the two axioms cannot be confirmed independently of each other.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious.

    Nope. You are clearly arguing simplistically. The two-way speed of light can be measured with one ruler and one clock. That allows idiots to come in and claim that maybe the speed is different coming back than going out, but other observations refute that. So, the fictitious requirement for two clocks is just
    a "background field explanation."

    This means that clock tick rates must be independent of inertial frame.

    And that's where you go flying off into wrongland.

    Again, you simply have no correct understanding of SR.

    Pot, kettle, black :-))

    No observer can tell if he is moving with respect to another inertial observer.

    Of COURSE an observer can tell if he's moving wrt another observer!
    What you should say is, "There is no such thing as absolute motion."
    You are confusing yourself with more fuzzy language.

    This is fundamental to the POR mate.

    It is after I've corrected your silly statement.

    This means that no observer's clock can tick any different from another.

    And that's PROPER time, but a moving clock is observed to tick at a
    slower rate.

    Observers take "different paths in space-time". That's why clocks and lengths, apparently, read differently, in SR, not because rules and clocks change how they record events.

    If you'd just user the PROPER terms, like proper time:

    and coordinate time:

    To verify the SOL for another inertial system, one needs to independently measure both the SOL and the TIME in that inertial system. This is impossible.

    Dead wrong, Kevin. The MMX used the same equipment in different (approximately) inertial frames to measure the SoL. Admittedly, the measurements were performed in air and had deleterious effects, but
    LLR experiments are consistent with the SoL not being dependent on
    the motion of the mirror on the moon.

    Yes Gary. And you still haven’t answered the question...
    Why is it OK for Einstein to use r to model the effects of
    the force of gravity to model his tick rates.
    But not OK for classical?
    Still waiting for you to answer this question...or will you
    snip my question again?

    Louie, Louie, Loco Louie! 1st, relativity IS classical physics.
    2nd, YOU are the only fool claiming that tick rates are due to
    the force of gravity. Everyone's been telling you over and over
    that its gravitational potential, GM/r, which is NOT force.
    You seem to spend a lot of time playing with your mental blocks.

    Any normal person would have begun questioning his assumptions
    long ago. I sure would have. But here you are running around in
    circles instead of flunking your physics tests.

    No, Louie, it's called dimensional analysis, a powerful way to tell who knows what they're talking about and who's just flatulent.

    What is *really* different between the two formula? Nothing, except squaring r for one and not for the other.

    A BIG difference, flatulent one. Force is the derivative of potential:

    What'sa matter, Louie, are you as ignorant of calculus as you are of physics?

    Not nearly as bad at physics as you are.

    Louie, Louie, Louie, you just flunked your first test in high school physics!

    It’s called match fixing by crooks.

    Both have G, both have mass, and both have (G and mass) divided

    The only difference is that one equation is just 1/r, 1/2R, etc
    And the other increases the rate of change in the inverse proportion by
    squaring r like this 1/r2, 1/2r^2 ,etc
    The thing I find amazing about you mathematicians when you do
    physics is how you pretend the same 2 things are not related at all.

    Don't be silly, Flatulent Louie, I told you before about the relationship of
    potential and force, but you're too demented to remember and too ignorant
    to understand.

    For example ( ignoring friction): Using my hand I push a block of wood across
    a table, using x energy
    You call that force.

    No, physics-challenged Louie, energy is force times distance.

    Evasive nonsense.
    Definitely not, Loco Louie. It's in elementary physics texts.
    Only a demented relativist would pretend pushing
    block across a table is using force but pushing it up in the air isn’t.
    Fuzzy thinking, Flatulent Louie. It takes NO force to push a block
    across a frictionless table. Pushing a block UP doesn't involve
    friction, so your comparison was apples to ants.

    Evasive nonsense.
    You ignored the fact I already above “ignoring friction.”
    So answer the question. Ignoring or in addition to the effects
    of friction, why does it take force to push a block across a
    table but the same force isn’t used to push it up in height?
    Cant answer.?
    Thought not.

    No wonder relativity fails every one of its predictions.
    No wonder you're reduced to lying to protect your demented ego.
    How many times does a demented fool need to be instructed?
    F = dE/dr. Don't understand calculus, either, eh, Louie?

    Einstein didn't really "use r" to model the effects of gravity on the

    suitable region with weak gravity and speeds <<< c, the metric can be accurately approximated as depending on the Newtonian gravitational

    [#] Physicists use the term "classical" to mean
    non-quantum, so SR and GR are classical theories.

    Newtonian physics cannot "use r", or anything else, to model varying
    tick rates of clocks, because it has time that is "Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably

    No I’m talking physics not maths. Classical physics is not assumptions.
    It is purely empirically based. We classical theorists do not accept assumptions
    as observations.

    And for hundreds of years we have know that resonant systems
    are harmonic oscillators. And adding more weight or mass to a resonant
    system causes its natural resonant frequency to decrease.
    And all observations of atoms show us that an atom....is a resonant system.

    I need a New theory?
    No. Just 100’s of years of confirmed peer reviewed data. That’s what I
    use. And it does model tick rates of atoms. Using centuries of observations
    of resonant systems, harmonic oscillators and using r to model the increase
    in tick rates at different altitudes.
    Here is a classical model gravity strength at different altitudes
    Using classical models gravitational shadow at different altitudes r:
    r=100% (earths surface)
    2r=33%
    3r =21%
    4r=16%
    5r=13%

    The available data from gravity probe and GPS is limited but wiki uses this data to
    model a graph of the observed increase in tick rates at different altitudes r. From
    which the values at different altitudes r are quoted below.
    Notice in particular the progression from 2 to 5 r is very similar in rates for both
    the classical predictions (cited above)and the observed data below.

    r 0
    2r 320
    3r 440
    4r 480
    5r 540

    Fact is Tom...you cant ignore the data just because it proves a classical model can correctly predict observed tick rates of caesium atoms at
    different altitudes.

    Definitely not, Loco Louie. It's in elementary physics texts.

    Only a demented relativist would pretend pushing

    Fuzzy thinking, Flatulent Louie. It takes NO force to push a block
    across a frictionless table. Pushing a block UP doesn't involve
    friction, so your comparison was apples to ants.

    Evasive nonsense.
    You ignored the fact I already above “ignoring friction.”

    So why does it take force to push a block across a frictionless table
    top, Loco Louie? :-))

    So answer the question. Ignoring or in addition to the effects

    Cant answer.?

    I already answered, but you flunked your physics test anyway.

    Thought not.

    Of course you don't think. If you did, you wouldn't make all these

    How many times does a demented fool need to be instructed?
    F = dE/dr. Don't understand calculus, either, eh, Louie?

    I understand that you think that one uses force to push

    relativists call force when applied vertically? Work?

    We've been talking BASIC high school physics, Louie. It doesn't
    address anything about relativity.

    You need to take a remedial physic course, Louie, and you'd

    Yes Gary. And you still haven’t answered the question...
    Why is it OK for Einstein to use r to model the effects of
    the force of gravity to model his tick rates.
    But not OK for classical?
    Still waiting for you to answer this question...or will you
    snip my question again?

    Louie, Louie, Loco Louie! 1st, relativity IS classical physics.
    2nd, YOU are the only fool claiming that tick rates are due to

    Cloud cuckoo land for gary. He thinks gravitational potential has
    nothing to do with gravity!!! Joker.

    Loco Louie doesn't even understand high school physics. Otherwise,
    he never make such ridiculous assertions.

    Let me guess Gary. Gravitational potential is
    an effect caused by magic gnomes in the 14th dimension and
    has nothing to do with gravity?

    Is that your answer on your physics test? You flunked another one.

    Anyways you still couldnt answer the question. Thought not.
    Here it is again.
    If Einstein could use r to model the effects of gravity on
    the tick rates of atoms at different altitudes. Then why
    cant a classical model use r to model the effects of gravity on
    the tick rates of atoms?

    Flatulent Louie, relativity IS a classical theory. Perhaps you're

    physics assumes time is absolute, so OF COURSE it predicts no
    tine dilation. Learn some physics, Lowbrow Louie

    classical compared to upstart models like QFT.

    Then why
    cant a classical model use r to model the effects of gravity on
    the tick rates of atoms?

    Because it simply doesn't work. Units are wrong, and numbers don't match measurements.

    Because Newton said that gravitational force is inversely proportional
    with distance squared.

    Did Newton say that Einstein could ignore Newtons r^2 and use gravitational potential r instead to model gravity’s effects on atomic tick rates.

    Newton would slap you silly for trying to use potential where force
    belongs. Obviously Newton didn't know of GR, but he would certainly be
    capable of analyzing Einstein's equations and agree that (for weak
    gravity & slow speeds), using potential is the correct answer.

    But a classical model
    couldn’t use gravitational potential r to model tick rates of atoms?

    But classical relativity *does* model gravitational time dilation
    proportional to the potential 1/r. Again, do the math if you don't
    agree. Of course, the tick rates of atoms are always 1 second per second locally.

    Nope, a = GM/r^2. And F = ma, therefore F = GMm/r^2 You just flunked your second test in high school physics!

    Notice even your Hero Einstein used GM/r to calculate

    GM/r is NOT force, Loco Louie. You fell into your own trap and proved

    One rule for Albert and the wrong rules for the competition. It’s called match fixing by crooks.

    Nope, it's called Loco Louie louses up physics.

    No, physics-challenged Louie, energy is force times distance.

    Evasive nonsense.

    Definitely not, Loco Louie. It's in elementary physics texts.

    Only a demented relativist would pretend pushing
    block across a table is using force but pushing it up in the air isn’t.

    Fuzzy thinking, Flatulent Louie. It takes NO force to push a block across a frictionless table. Pushing a block UP doesn't involve friction, so your comparison was apples to ants.

    Evasive nonsense.
    You ignored the fact I already above “ignoring friction.”

    So why does it take force to push a block across a frictionless table top, Loco Louie? :-))

    Answer the question fatty. Why does it take force to push a block
    across the table...but not up in the air?
    I did, Flatulent Bulimic Louie. It does NOT take any force to push a block across a frictionless table top (at constant velocity), so you have misrepresented what happens in the real world.

    So Gary thinks it doesn’t take any force to move a block from one side
    of the table to the other? Which special super powers do you use
    to move the block?

    And it DOES take a force to hold the block above the table top, contrary
    to your vacuous claim which you misrepresented again!
    Let me guess...you use ‘work’ not force to push things vertically.
    And to do ‘work’ you don’t need to apply any force.
    F = ma, demented Louie. Uou flunked your third physics test.
    Have you patented this free energy invention of yours?
    I have several patents, but I wouldn't be as stupid as you to
    suggest such a ridiculous thing. This happens when you're
    incapable of understanding physics.
    So answer the question. Ignoring or in addition to the effects
    of friction, why does it take force to push a block across a
    table but the same force isn’t used to push it up in height?
    Cant answer.?

    I already answered, but you flunked your physics test anyway.

    Thought not.

    Of course you don't think. If you did, you wouldn't make all these ridiculous blunders.

    No wonder relativity fails every one of its predictions.

    No wonder you're reduced to lying to protect your demented ego
    .
    How many times does a demented fool need to be instructed?
    F = dE/dr. Don't understand calculus, either, eh, Louie?

    I understand that you think that one uses force to push horizontally. But not vertically. What magical new thingy do relativists call force when applied vertically? Work?

    We've been talking BASIC high school physics, Louie. It doesn't address anything about relativity.

    You need to take a remedial physic course, Louie, and you'd better learn some math, too.. You are making a prize fool of yourself. What did you take instead of high school physics? Fingerpainting?

    Yes Gary. And you still haven’t answered the question...
    Why is it OK for Einstein to use r to model the effects of
    the force of gravity to model his tick rates.
    But not OK for classical?
    Still waiting for you to answer this question...or will you
    snip my question again?

    Louie, Louie, Loco Louie! 1st, relativity IS classical physics.
    2nd, YOU are the only fool claiming that tick rates are due to
    the force of gravity. Everyone's been telling you over and over
    that its gravitational potential, GM/r, which is NOT force.

    Cloud cuckoo land for gary. He thinks gravitational potential has nothing to do with gravity!!! Joker.

    Loco Louie doesn't even understand high school physics. Otherwise,
    he never make such ridiculous assertions.

    Let me guess Gary. Gravitational potential is
    an effect caused by magic gnomes in the 14th dimension and
    has nothing to do with gravity?

    Is that your answer on your physics test? You flunked another one.

    Anyways you still couldnt answer the question. Thought not.
    Here it is again.
    If Einstein could use r to model the effects of gravity on
    the tick rates of atoms at different altitudes. Then why
    cant a classical model use r to model the effects of gravity on
    the tick rates of atoms?

    Flatulent Louie, relativity IS a classical theory. Perhaps you're
    trying to argue Newtonian physics vs. relativity. Newtonian
    physics assumes time is absolute, so OF COURSE it predicts no
    tine dilation. Learn some physics, Lowbrow Louie

    No you didn’t answer. All you could say when asked the question
    was to repeat the vacuous mantra “”GM/r DOES have something to do with force. It's just that the force varies as 1/r^2, not 1/r. “
    Or this silly zippo statement “GM/r,...is NOT force. “
    Evasive or what.
    Not evasive, Demented Louie. Face it, you don't understand the simplest thing about physics, which is a description of the real world. People in that condition are delusional.
    Because if you think to calculate gravity force for different altitudes one must use r^2 to calculate atomic tick rates,
    Incorrect, because you have this delusional belief that "tick rates" just MUST be dependent on force, when reality demonstrates conclusively
    that it's not. You also have the delusion that if "tick rates" vary as GM/r, then GM/r just MUST be force.
    Then why is it that you think it’s OK for Einstein to calculate the force of
    gravity on tick rates using just r!!!
    He doesn't, Lunatic Louie. GM/r is potential.

    So gravity has nothing to do with einsteins imaginary “gravitational
    Time dilation”
    Why is it called “gravitational” ( time dilation)?
    Does gravitational in german mean marvel superhero magic forces?

    Let me guess: Gary’s 1st postulate:
    “Different strengths of gravitational force at different
    altitudes is calculated using r in relativity. But all other theories
    have to use the incorrect calculation using r^2”
    (Source: Book of Gary, last chapter in the bible)
    Silly Psychopathic Louie! You're like a donkey kicking against
    a spiked goad. The donkey gets a damaged foot and you get

    Relativity does NOT use 1/r to model the force of gravity. It doesn't
    even have the correct units (which makes it automatically wrong!)

    but not OK for a classical model to use it.
    Otherwise, heaven forbid! Classical theory could also correctly
    predict and explain GPS etc.

    Except that Newtonian gravity can't. (be careful of your wording. GR is considered a classical theory nowadays) There simply isn't anything in
    it with that effect. Remember in Newtonian physics time is universal
    everywhere so there is no equivalent to gravitational time dilation, nor
    could there be.

    And by the way area of earths shadow does fall off at r. Not r^2.

    Umbra or penumbra?

    You just didn’t do the calculations. Or were unable to seeing as relativists
    dont do geometry.

    r=100% (earths surface)
    2r=33%
    3r =21%
    4r=16%
    5r=13%

    Notice not only is it r! But it’s also very close to observations of tick rates
    from other sources like gravity probe A and B and GPS

    And your point is...? (no, not the one on top of your head)

    As listed below ( source wiki gravitational time dilation rates for different altitudes)
    (Picoseconds gained with r)
    r 0
    2r 320
    3r 440
    4r 480
    5r 540

    The 1/r potential is referenced to infinity, so this is a difference of potentials. With potential from r to 2r being half that from r to
    infinity, this could work for 640 picoseconds from r to infinity.

    So we can make a new table for differences between r and multiples
    assuming 1/r relationship:

    r r 0
    r 2r 320
    r 3r 427
    r 4r 480
    r 5r 512

    I don't know where you got your numbers from but a so-so match with 1/r.

    I’m not the one who was pretending that the force of gravity on tick rates wasn’t modelled by GM/r, when in fact Einstein was modelling the force

    “ while GR effects are proportional to potential (inverse r). “

    but not OK for a classical model to use it.
    Otherwise, heaven forbid! Classical theory could also correctly

    Except that Newtonian gravity can't. (be careful of your wording. GR is considered a classical theory nowadays)

    I don’t consider GR a classical theory.
    Classical theory has light only at c relative to source.
    Classical theory has no time dilation effects.
    Classical theory has light as a wave only.

    There simply isn't anything in
    it with that effect. Remember in Newtonian physics time is universal everywhere so there is no equivalent to gravitational time dilation, nor could there be.
    And by the way area of earths shadow does fall off at r. Not r^2.
    Umbra or penumbra?

    I don’t like rules but looking at the two the umbra is closest.
    Whether or not the shadow is fuzzy as Wiki umbra suggests is
    hard to guess. Does gravity diffract? I haven’t studied that
    possibility. Of course with gravity whether or not it’s push or
    another model one has to take into account that the edge of the
    shadow will be the edge of the sphere. And thus less mass at
    the edge of the shadow.
    The illustration Wiki supplies is handy.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra#/media/File:Kernschatten_und_Halbschatten.svg

    3r =21%
    4r=16%
    5r=13%

    Notice not only is it r! But it’s also very close to observations of tick rates
    from other sources like gravity probe A and B and GPS
    And your point is...? (no, not the one on top of your head)

    Very funny. (Did you ever read the excellent cartoon strip Zippy the pinhead?) My point is that within error margins of around 10 % it matches observations. Note even Hafael Keating couldn’t do better than 10% errors.
    And for total error for the eastward plane the relativistic prediction
    is off from the observed by a 33% error!!

    As listed below ( source wiki gravitational time dilation rates for different
    altitudes)
    (Picoseconds gained with r)
    r 0
    2r 320
    3r 440
    4r 480
    5r 540

    The 1/r potential is referenced to infinity, so this is a difference of potentials. With potential from r to 2r being half that from r to
    infinity, this could work for 640 picoseconds from r to infinity.


    Whatever. Notice the progression of tick rates from r to r5
    is matched very well by the progression in area of shadow
    from r to r5. Nothing like the r^2 inverse relationship you
    claimed elsewhere for classical theory.
    As I mentioned earlier the “great” Hafael Keating “evidence” supporting Einsteins theories is actually WAY off from his
    relativistic predictions.
    Between 10-30% off.!!

    So we can make a new table for differences between r and multiples
    assuming 1/r relationship:

    r r 0
    r 2r 320
    r 3r 427
    r 4r 480
    r 5r 512

    I don't know where you got your numbers from but a so-so match with 1/r.

    <12% error max. Not as bad as Hafael Keatings 30% error for relativity.
    My calculations can only be approximate values as I had to calculate
    angle subtended by earth shadow on hypothetical observer using pencil
    on paper with technical draughting equipment.
    And measure off a online wiki graph for rough approx tick rates.
    Seeing as no actual observed tick data is available for exact 1-5 r
    distances. However my point really was ...it is *no where NEAR* 1/ r^2
    as you claimed it had to be.

    ‘Relativity does not use 1/r to model the force of gravity’ !
    You have changed your mind.

    No, I haven't. Relativity does not model any inverse r effect as a
    force. Newtonian GM/r is NOT a force either. Remember, objects at
    different potentials are unaffected by the potential.

    Here’s a quote from you earlier in this thread:
    “ while GR effects are proportional to potential (inverse r). “

    GR effects, not force. Specifically the effect involved is the redshift/blueshift of a timing signal from different potentials, as
    Pound-Rebka discovered.

    but not OK for a classical model to use it.
    Otherwise, heaven forbid! Classical theory could also correctly
    predict and explain GPS etc.

    Except that Newtonian gravity can't. (be careful of your wording. GR is
    considered a classical theory nowadays)

    I don’t consider GR a classical theory.

    Nobody cares what you consider. GR is 100+ years old and has no quantum effects, unlike modern theories like QFT.

    Classical theory has light only at c relative to source.
    Classical theory has no time dilation effects.
    Classical theory has light as a wave only.

    Again, nobody cares what you believe.

    There simply isn't anything in
    it with that effect. Remember in Newtonian physics time is universal
    everywhere so there is no equivalent to gravitational time dilation, nor
    could there be.
    And by the way area of earths shadow does fall off at r. Not r^2.
    Umbra or penumbra?

    I don’t like rules but looking at the two the umbra is closest.
    Whether or not the shadow is fuzzy as Wiki umbra suggests is
    hard to guess. Does gravity diffract? I haven’t studied that
    possibility. Of course with gravity whether or not it’s push or
    another model one has to take into account that the edge of the
    shadow will be the edge of the sphere. And thus less mass at
    the edge of the shadow.
    The illustration Wiki supplies is handy.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra,_penumbra_and_antumbra#/media/File:Kernschatten_und_Halbschatten.svg

    And the area covered is proportional to the inverse square of the distance.

    Notice if you continue the the two converging ‘umbra’ lines
    to the left. Where they meet, outside the image is where the observer
    is when calculating the area of the sky covered/subtended by the earth shadow.

    Area covered is proportional to the inverse square of the distance,
    until the convergence, where the shading body's image becomes larger
    than the source.

    As I mentioned earlier the “great” Hafael Keating “evidence” supporting Einsteins theories is actually WAY off from his
    relativistic predictions.
    Between 10-30% off.!!

    And as I mentioned, H-K is not the end of the discussion as many better measurements have been performed since. Many "breakthrough" experiments
    push the bleeding edge of technology and have significant measurement
    errors.

    So we can make a new table for differences between r and multiples
    assuming 1/r relationship:

    r r 0
    r 2r 320
    r 3r 427
    r 4r 480
    r 5r 512

    Nowhere do I claim GR time dilation effects are proportional to 1/r^2.
    That is the Newtonian force relationship, which is an approximation of
    GR effects for weak gravity and slow speeds.

    of the table to the other? Which special super powers do you use
    to move the block?

    It's called inertia, Lobotomized Louie. You just flunked your 4th physics test.

    I flunked the test? You did.

    So now you're reduced to the childish, "Oh yeah, well so are you!" behavior.


    It’s called acceleration. And you use force to accelerate the block. Not inertia.

    You asked what MOVES the block. Motion includes UNIFORM motion.
    What causes a block to move across a frictionless table? I answered correctly. The problem is that you use imprecise language.

    Seeing as before you applied the force to the block..it wasn’t moving.

    Well, you didn't SAY it wasn't moving, so YOU are your own problem in
    that you can't pose a proper thought experiment.

    Wasn’t it obvious that I meant move a block?

    A professor is giving a lecture and has made an assertion as part of his presentation and says that It is obvious. Then he steps back, stares at
    the board and ponders for several minutes. Then he turns and walks out
    of the lecture hall. He is absent for a fairly long time and just before the class is scheduled to end the professor reappears, and announces "Yes,
    it is obvious."

    Ask anyone, physicist or otherwise and they will automatically
    and correctly assume I meant move it from a stationary position.

    Only in your sloppy manners. I took it to mean uniform motion, and
    I am a physicist.

    And it DOES take a force to hold the block above the table top, contrary
    to your vacuous claim which you misrepresented again!
    ....
    Not evasive, Demented Louie. Face it, you don't understand the simplest
    thing about physics, which is a description of the real world. People in
    that condition are delusional.
    ....
    Incorrect, because you have this delusional belief that "tick rates" just
    MUST be dependent on force, when reality demonstrates conclusively that it's not. You also have the delusion that if "tick rates" vary as GM/r,
    then GM/r just MUST be force.

    No comment, Louie? This is the crux of your misunderstanding.

    I’m not the one who was pretending that the force of gravity on tick rates wasn’t modelled by GM/r, when in fact Einstein was modelling the force
    of gravity on tick rates using GM/r.

    See? You continue to INSIST that tick rates MUST be affected by FORCE.
    That is demonstrably incorrect, false, bogus, erroneous. You've been instructed that force is NOT GM/r, yet you foolishly and arrogantly refuse to accept simple high school physics. You exhibit extreme unwillingness to
    learn.

    So why should I be expected to explain the contradiction in your own argument?
    That’s your responsibility.

    My argument had no contradiction, Lying Louie. As Volney and I have pointed out, F = GMm/r^2 in simple Newtonian high school physics. It's not possible that GM/r can be a force since it has the wrong dimensional units.

    Which is also why I asked you to explain why you think lifting an object vertically
    does not need any force.
    If it doesnt then how does it get lifted vertically without force.?

    No one claims an object at a planet's surface can resist gravity without a force
    being involved. Where do you get these strange fantasies?

    Then why is it that you think it’s OK for Einstein to calculate the force of
    gravity on tick rates using just r!!!

    He doesn't, Lunatic Louie. GM/r is potential.

    So gravity has nothing to do with einsteins imaginary “gravitational
    Time dilation”

    Only trolls misrepresent facts the way you do, Leprous Louie.

    Why is it called “gravitational” ( time dilation)?
    Does gravitational in german mean marvel superhero magic forces?

    Your asinine misrepresentations means you just flunked the entire physics course.

    “Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.” -- Benjamin Franklin
    And, Loser Louie, you are adamantly unwilling to learn. You need to lose one more thing: your vaunting ego.

    Yes Gary and you have no ego

    Everyone has an ego. You, however, have much more than your share.

    Is that why your comments contain such filthy insults instead of
    rational arguments ?

    Try your calculation again. And *show me* how you calculate the size in the sky in degrees of earths shadow for an observer at *2r*.
    Dont forget...the shadow of the earth at r for the observer (standing on
    the earths surface) is 50% (180 degrees ) of the total area
    observed. So your area must be no more than 1/4 of that 50% if you use r^2

    Here is an illustration to clarify what 180 degrees means.
    In this wiki illustration linked below imagine you are the observer and
    you are represented by the dot (earth) in the illustration.
    The equatorial line of the outer sphere represents the earths surface
    below you. So at r, you see 180 degrees sky above.
    And earths shadow is 180 degrees below you, represented by the horizontal equatorial line of the outer sphere in the illustration.
    So then...at 2r you will look down below you and the earth has moved away
    from your feet. And the earth now will take up a certain amount of your
    vision below you, but less than the 180 degrees it did at r.
    What angle do you think the earths shadow will now subtend at 2r?

    If it follows inverse square..then your earth shadow should
    subtend to no more than 1/4 of 180degrees.
    I think you will find that this is an incorrect assumption you make.
    Because I calculate earths shadow at 2 r will subtend to 60degrees of
    the view below you. Only1/3 of 180degrees.

    SR holds that there is an entity "space-time" that is measured by
    different
    observers with rulers and clocks. "space-time" is an invariant.

    That is, in this context there is an entity "time" that is measured by
    clocks.

    There is also rulers which measure the space part. You seem to be
    ignoring that.

    Oh dear.... "in this context" is a direct reference to the fact that
    referring to "space-time" is a needless and an irrelevant complication.

    Clocks measure time, not space. Only rulers measure space. If clocks read differently it's because there are differences either in time or clocks,
    thus space is not relevant.

    All inertial observers travel through time at the
    PROPER rate of 1 second/second.

    Yep.

    Clocks moving wrt an observer
    are OBSERVED to travel through time at different rates.

    Nope. If this were only so, clocks taking different paths would never physically read different when reunited.

    Either clocks physically slow down, OR they travel through time "space-time"
    at different rates.

    You can't have it both ways. Something has to give. There is a real physical effect. An observation, by itself cannot account for all observers agreeing
    on a final *difference*.


    They still have the same PROPER time of 1 sec/sec.

    Yep.


    That is, because clocks travel though "time" at different rates,
    according
    to SR, clocks will be observed to run slow, despite that the clocks do
    not
    run slow. This is "time dilation".

    The only you got wrong is that clocks do NOT "travel through time at >different rates."

    Sure they do, according to SR.

    Reunited clocks read different, thus its not an optical illusion type
    effect, its a real, physical difference. This requires a physical
    explanation.

    Either clocks physically slow down, OR they travel through time
    ("space-time") at different rates. Its the gamma factor dude.

    An odometer reads different going from London to Edinburgh either because it takes a different path OR because the odometer calibration changes.

    You're making the mistake that the reading of clocks observed
    by an observer in relative motion is somehow unique and absolute.

    Nope. You are making the mistake of not reading what has actually been
    written and substitute your own made up meanderings.

    You are trying to answer questions posted by others, not me.

    I have specifically explained in detail that clocks read differently and not unique, and why they do. In contrast, you are just blabbering.

    Another observer moving at a different speed with disagree, so you can't
    say the moving
    clock is running slow at some specific rate.

    Strawman. I never made that claim. I specifically denied that and gave the
    only alternative, to wit, clocks travel through time at different rates, according to SR

    Clocks running slow is a feature of background theories such as the
    Lorentz
    Ether Theory, not Special Relativity.

    No, it's what YOU are saying, and it's weirdly distorted.

    Nope.

    You need to improve your English comprehension mate.


    It matters when physics has reached a brick wall in constructing a
    quantum
    theory of gravity, almost certainly, in part, because of the
    incompatibility
    of time in QM and GR.

    Another fuzzy assertion.

    The incompatibility of time in QM and GR is well known and precise. It is
    your knowledge of this that is fuzzy.

    Although basic QM has absolute time, QFT is based
    on SR.

    Nope. QFT is based on the Lorentz Transform.

    The LT does not depend on SR. It is a common misunderstanding that it does.


    It's also relevant in that those such as you don't understand that that
    they
    are actually describing such background field explanations, yet believe
    that
    they are describing SR.

    Nope. You use fuzzy language like "background field explanations" with NO >explanation of its meaning. A sure sign of balderdash.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    "In 2005, Robert B. Laughlin (Physics Nobel Laureate, Stanford University), wrote about the nature of space: "It is ironic that Einstein's most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that
    no such medium existed ... The word 'ether' has extremely negative
    connotations in theoretical physics because of its past association with opposition to relativity. This is unfortunate because, stripped of these connotations, it rather nicely captures the way most physicists actually
    think about the vacuum. ... Relativity actually says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of matter pervading the universe, only that any
    such matter must have relativistic symmetry (i.e., as measured)."[40]"

    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    Professor (UK head of department) of Physics at Cambridge, David Tong (Adams prize winner) has a YouTube general audience lecture on QFT:

    http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/

    Royal Institute Lecture on YouTube on QFT (Quantum Field Theory)

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

    Time into video 0:31 :

    "...What are we made of...what are the fundamental building blocks of nature...?"

    Time into video 19:30 :

    "... so there is spread something throughout this room, something we call
    the electron field… it’s like a fluid that fills… the entire universe… and
    the ripples of this electron fluid… the waves of this fluid get tied into little bundles of energy, by the rules of quantum mechanics... and these bundles of energy are what we call the particle the electron....and the same
    is true for every kind of particle in the universe..."

    Thus QFT is an Ether in denial.

    QF are "background fields".

    Nope, the two axioms cannot be confirmed independently of each other.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious. s

    Nope. You are clearly arguing simplistically. The two-way speed of light >can
    be measured with one ruler and one clock. That allows idiots to come in
    and
    claim that maybe the speed is different coming back than going out, but
    other
    observations refute that. So, the fictitious requirement for two clocks is >just
    a "background field explanation."

    Yeah... you just don't understand what you haven't been instructed in or
    read in a book.

    Sure, I understand, that you just haven't thought about the problem, because
    no one pointed it out to you.

    The TWLS is not the issue. We all know about the OWLS and TWLS problem. The issue is that by definition, ANY speed require a measurement of *both* time
    and length.

    The SOL cannot be ascertained without definitions of time and length.

    Alternative definitions of length and time result in the same LT.

    The reason that this is possible is precisely because the two axioms SOL and POR, cannot be verified independently of each other.

    The POR require the assumption that moving clocks satisfy it, that is,
    always tick at he same rate. However, determining the SOL in a moving frame requires that time first be known. There are TWO unknowns, both the SOL ant
    the clock tick rates

    Its astounding that so many just can't get this. The reason is that most
    just regurgitate what they are taught without going hey... there's a problem there.

    One is assuming that which one is trying to prove.


    No observer can tell if he is moving with respect to another inertial
    observer.

    Of COURSE an observer can tell if he's moving wrt another observer!
    What you should say is, "There is no such thing as absolute motion."
    You are confusing yourself with more fuzzy language.

    Ho hum..... Your trying very hard, vainly, to get brownie points..... its trivially obvious that in the context of this discussion on SR that that statement means

    "No observer can tell if he is moving with respect to another inertial
    observer if the observers are in closed boxes"

    Its was a resentment of the Principle of Relativity. Dah....


    This means that no observer's clock can tick any different from another.

    And that's PROPER time, but a moving clock is observed to tick at a
    slower rate.

    Sure, a moving clock is only *observed* to tick slow, its not physically
    real in SR, that is why the rational alternative, that is required to
    explain why clocks physically read different, is that clocks travel through "time" at different rates.


    It has to be one or the other mate.

    You are really confused as to what "space-time" actually means in SR, physically.

    It means that there is an invariant or absolute object of reality that is
    fixed in 4 dimensions. Its called the "Block Universe"

    Different observers can get to different points in this "block universe" of "space-time" in different times.

    This is time travel.

    Observers take "different paths in space-time". That's why clocks and
    lengths, apparently, read differently, in SR, not because rules and
    clocks
    change how they record events.


    you might get less confused about SR.

    I have a pretty good handle on SR mate. In contrast, any idea that isn't in
    the book you read, you can't understand.

    Indeed, here is what is one of the few actually correct accounts of the
    Twins Paradox that doesn't use acceleration or frame switching.

    The reality is there is significant active research in deriving space and

    Others just deny them because they don't understand that they have been renamed, yet want to appear as if they are clever by saying yeah dude...
    what an idiot.... ethers were disproved years ago..."

    They were not. The reality is, they were ignored because in 1905, quantum fields having been discovered.

    Einstein:

    "The theory of relativity belongs to a class of "principle-theories...As
    such, it employs an analytic method, which means that the elements of this theory are not based on hypothesis but on empirical discovery."

    That is, physical hypotheses (mechanisms) are ignored from the outset,
    Einstein is directly declaring here explicitly, that he not going to offer
    an explanation, for example, a hypothesis as to why "sources could
    immediately find a common speed".

    He was simply avoiding the issue due to expediency.

    This is pretty simple. the SOL requires a definition of time and length.

    No problem, we have those.

    Unfortunately, we don't have them independently.

    One can only make consistent choices, from many consistent choices.

    To verify the SOL for another inertial system, one needs to independently
    measure both the SOL and the TIME in that inertial system. This is
    impossible.

    Dead wrong, Kevin. The MMX used the same equipment in different >(approximately) inertial frames to measure the SoL. Admittedly, the >measurements were performed in air and had deleterious effects, but
    LLR experiments are consistent with the SoL not being dependent on
    the motion of the mirror on the moon.

    Oh dear... None of this has any relevance to the issue. The observer and observed are traveling in the MMX at the *same* speed. dah... There is no relative speed for their to be measuring clocks from different points of
    view. Indeed, the MMX can be explained simply by assuming photons.

    You just don't understand the point.

    Describe how a *non* moving observer actually *measures* the *proper* time
    that a *moving* observer experiences.

    How does one actually know what the clock tick rates are of the moving observer, from their point of view, if when the non moving observer measures it, the ticks are actually measured to run slow.?

    Suppose the measurements of the moving clock are the actually reality. That moving clocks *physically* run slow.

    One has to use the axioms of relativity to *assume* that the moving clock
    ticks at the same rate.

    This is the bit you just don't get. You are so wrapped up in that which
    isn't in debate. that you don't understand what the problem is.

    If one actually measures a moving clock running slow, and we do, the
    simplest explanation, is that it actually is. Dah.....

    If so, then SR is just a convenient fiction.

    False abstract fictions are used all the time.

    In designing electronic circuits one uses concepts such as signal flows and gain and so forth. One can design complex systems doing so, but its all only
    an "as if" fiction.

    The ability to have different definitions of time and the SOL is what
    allows
    approaches such as

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_dynamics

    SR uses a consistent set of definitions, however, consistency does not
    mean
    correct.

    Ho hum.... usual Strawman. The validly of the LT is not in debate. SR is.
    There are no unique tests of SR, there are only tests of the LT.

    As has LET, and any other that simply states that there is a physical background that time and space emerged from. Sure, the Lorentz ether is

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    Hint: in a true empty universe, there are no rulers and clocks, thus its impossible for any physical property such as an invariant *physical* SOL to exist. SR requires it does.

    This is why LET exists as a valid theory.

    It's only valid in a subset of SR's validity, so nobody with common sense >would use it.

    LET is always valid where SR is valid. Its the same equations mate.

    See above from the Nobel Laureate Robert B. Laughlin as to how pretty much
    all physicists actually think about reality.

    No one with common sense believes that the speed of light exists in a truly empty universe. There are no clocks and rulers in such a universe. Pretty
    much every one has missed that particular elephant in the room.

    Fortunately, we know that the universe is no where empty. Its called the quantum vacuum.

    That is, in this context there is an entity "time" that is measured by clocks.

    There is also rulers which measure the space part. You seem to be

    Maybe, maybe not. Minkowski diagrams have been a bane to many who

    Clocks measure time, not space. Only rulers measure space.

    Not really. Clocks measure space, too:

    https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Hand-Tools-Measuring-Tools-Laser-Distance-Measurer/N-5yc1vZc23p

    If clocks read differently it's because there are differences either in time or clocks,
    thus space is not relevant.

    I refer you to Tom Roberts' post.

    Clocks moving wrt an observer are OBSERVED to travel through time at different rates.

    Nope. If this were only so, clocks taking different paths would never physically read different when reunited.

    Either clocks physically slow down, OR they travel through time "space-time" at different rates.

    You can't have it both ways. Something has to give. There is a real physical effect. An observation, by itself cannot account for all observers agreeing on a final *difference*.

    I refer you to Tom Roberts' post.

    That is, because clocks travel though "time" at different rates, according
    to SR, clocks will be observed to run slow, despite that the clocks do not
    run slow. This is "time dilation".

    The only you got wrong is that clocks do NOT "travel through time at different rates."

    Sure they do, according to SR.

    Reunited clocks read different, thus its not an optical illusion type effect, its a real, physical difference. This requires a physical explanation.

    Either clocks physically slow down, OR they travel through time ("space-time") at different rates. Its the gamma factor dude.

    Nope. I refer you to Tom Roberts' post.

    An odometer reads different going from London to Edinburgh either because it takes a different path OR because the odometer calibration changes.

    Think "different path": see Tom Roberts' post.

    You're making the mistake that the reading of clocks observed
    by an observer in relative motion is somehow unique and absolute.

    Nope. You are making the mistake of not reading what has actually been written and substitute your own made up meanderings.

    Hmm, you accuse me of not reading the literature and then accuse me of

    YOU seem to be the one "substituting your own made up meanderings"

    You are trying to answer questions posted by others, not me.

    AH, but my answer applies directly to your meanderings, even if you don't realize it.

    I have specifically explained in detail that clocks read differently and not unique, and why they do. In contrast, you are just blabbering.

    Pot, kettle, black. But if different observers read different values for the same clock, your argument that "clocks read differently" cannot be used
    to claim "clocks physically slow down, OR they travel through time ("space-
    time") at different rates."

    Another observer moving at a different speed with disagree, so you can't say the moving clock is running slow at some specific rate.

    Strawman. I never made that claim.

    SR does, and it's unavoidable. You look at a subset of the phenomenon and believe you have the whole thing figured out.

    I specifically denied that and gave the only alternative, to wit, clocks travel
    through time at different rates, according to SR

    It matters when physics has reached a brick wall in constructing a quantum theory of gravity, almost certainly, in part, because of the incompatibility of time in QM and GR.

    Another fuzzy assertion.

    The incompatibility of time in QM and GR is well known and precise. It is your knowledge of this that is fuzzy.

    Although basic QM has absolute time, QFT is based on SR.

    Nope. QFT is based on the Lorentz Transform.

    The LT does not depend on SR. It is a common misunderstanding that it does.

    It's seems to be a specific misunderstanding of YOU that the LT is part of SR.

    It's also relevant in that those such as you don't understand that that they are actually describing such background field explanations, yet believe
    that they are describing SR.

    Nope. You use fuzzy language like "background field explanations" with NO explanation of its meaning. A sure sign of balderdash.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    "In 2005, Robert B. Laughlin (Physics Nobel Laureate, Stanford University), wrote about the nature of space: "It is ironic that Einstein's most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed ... The word 'ether' has extremely negative connotations in theoretical physics because of its past association with opposition to relativity. This is unfortunate because, stripped of these connotations, it rather nicely captures the way most physicists actually think about the vacuum. ... Relativity actually says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of matter pervading the universe, only that any such matter must have relativistic symmetry (i.e., as measured)."[40]"

    “spacetime is likely to be an approximate description of something quite different.” – Steven Carlip

    Professor (UK head of department) of Physics at Cambridge, David Tong (Adams prize winner) has a YouTube general audience lecture on QFT:

    http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/

    Royal Institute Lecture on YouTube on QFT (Quantum Field Theory)

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

    Time into video 0:31 :

    "...What are we made of...what are the fundamental building blocks of nature...?"

    Time into video 19:30 :

    "... so there is spread something throughout this room, something we call the electron field… it’s like a fluid that fills… the entire universe… and
    the ripples of this electron fluid… the waves of this fluid get tied into little bundles of energy, by the rules of quantum mechanics... and these bundles of energy are what we call the particle the electron....and the same is true for every kind of particle in the universe..."

    Thus QFT is an Ether in denial.

    QF are "background fields".

    You seem to be dismissing the most accurate theory we have to describe
    one domain of reality.

    The two postulates of SR are clearly circular. This is obvious. s

    Nope. You are clearly arguing simplistically. The two-way speed of light can be measured with one ruler and one clock. That allows idiots to come
    in and claim that maybe the speed is different coming back than going out, but other observations refute that. So, the fictitious requirement for two clocks is just a "background field explanation."

    Yeah... you just don't understand what you haven't been instructed in or read in a book.

    See? Your disparagement of me is both A and not-A :-)))

    Sure, I understand, that you just haven't thought about the problem, because no one pointed it out to you.

    #1. ad hominem. In your case, playing the "holier than thou" card.

    The TWLS is not the issue. We all know about the OWLS and TWLS problem.
    The issue is that by definition, ANY speed require a measurement of *both* time and length.

    The SOL cannot be ascertained without definitions of time and length.

    Alternative definitions of length and time result in the same LT.

    The reason that this is possible is precisely because the two axioms SOL and POR, cannot be verified independently of each other.

    The POR require the assumption that moving clocks satisfy it, that is, always tick at he same rate. However, determining the SOL in a moving frame requires that time first be known. There are TWO unknowns, both the SOL ant the clock tick rates

    The problem is not as simple as you believe. Physics requires THREE, not two independent parameters: length, time and mass. We have had standards which have changed as technology has advanced. They are not circular.

    Its astounding that so many just can't get this. The reason is that most just regurgitate what they are taught without going hey... there's a problem there.

    I will say, however, that it's an excellent idea not to switch frames:

    "An extremely important strategy in solving relativity problems is to plant yourself in a frame and stay there. The only thoughts running through your head should be what you observe. That is, don’t try to use reasoning along the lines
    of, 'Well, the person I’m looking at in this other frame sees such-and-such.'

    change in different frames when measured in that frame.

    Describe how a *non* moving observer actually *measures* the *proper* time that a *moving* observer experiences.

    How does one actually know what the clock tick rates are of the moving observer, from their point of view, if when the non moving observer measures it, the ticks are actually measured to run slow.?

    Fortunately, we know that the universe is no where empty. Its called the quantum vacuum.

    Certainly it's real in some sense, but we don't really understand it, and has Steve Carlip pointed out, we don't understand space-time, either.

    Whew! I spent way too much time treating this long, long message. Please address only short matters in the future or I won't respond.

    You are twice a liar, don't_know. HRP publishes over 30 journals but only three of them were tagged as "predatory" and UJPA was NOT among them.

    Your accusation is essentially ad hominem: attacking the medium rather
    than the message. It's the coward's way.

    As for your other scurrilous lie, they list reviewers and I have the review of my paper to prove it was reviewed.

    it publishes any crap (like your crap paper) for a fee.

    And that's your third lie, don't_know. They didn't charge me anything (probably because they thought it was so good they didn't want to miss
    the chance of publishing a seminal work :-)

    Don't_know, you have the habits of a troll and the behavior of a pit bull. Of course
    you want to bury two of your gigantic missteps when you dishonestly attacked the
    paper: DOI: 10.13189/ujpa.2023.170101. The really big one was claiming PEMDAS doesn't matter, but the really, really big was was claiming that the 4MF is a definition.
    Nature doesn't care a fig about human definitions, don't_know, and has no obligation
    to follow them.

    Alfred North Whitehead once said, ""Civilization advances by extending the number
    of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them."

    and that's what the 4MF is: an operation done without thinking about its assumptions.
    It works in certain domains but doesn't work beyond c^2/v speeds. When the 4MF is
    DERIVED from the basic physics, it's IOTTMCO.

    The problem is that you're not a "casual" observer. You're an extremely biased one
    with the manners of a Hamas Palestinian.

    He has nothing but lies and slander, like this:

    .....BTW, I was not the only one rubbing your nose in your shit , there were several of us.

    No, Dono, that's another lie. Athel's only criticisms weren't technical since his field didn't overlap the subject matter. The criticisms were (1) HRP had purported "predatory practices" against three (out of over 30) of the journals they published, none of them being UJPA, and (2) he thought the number of citations on my published literature wasn't very high.

    So (1) was guilt by association and (2) was because most of my work was classified.

    PCH complained that tachyons with speeds greater than c^/v could be
    observed by only certain observers but not all. I showed him that was
    not true and he went away without even an "Oh, sorry. my mistake."
    I don't remember anyone else who made any substantive comment.

    So Dono, YOU are the ONLY dung-thrower, but none of it lands on me.
    You speak in vague generalities and ad hominems, just like Wozniak
    because neither of you have anything valid. I'm still waiting for you to

    relative speed between observer's frames to the speed of the tachyons. So , you end up with contradictory outcomes: there is causality violation depending on the relative speed between frames. The shell game that you have been playing all along. You have
    been pantsed. Again.

    So did you go directly from figure to figure again without reading and
    trying to understand the text? Obviously, Figure 4 is NOT "identical" to Figure 2, as you dishonestly claim. The return arrow does not complete
    a path to [0,0] as Figure 2 does. You obviously didn't even read the
    caption to Figure 4, which explains why the return path to [0,0] is wrong.

    As for Figure 5, it's not even POSSIBLE that it's "identical" to Figure 2 because it's from the perspective of C and D in the moving frame.

    The causality violation still exists, the "response" is received before the "call",

    Dono, either you're abysmally stupid or you're a lying weasel. The path
    back to [0,0] in Figure 4 and back to [L,0] in Figure 5 cannot logically
    exist as explained in the text which you're either too lazy or too stupid
    to read.

    I just showed that they were different, which anyone with good
    eyesight can see. So you double down on misrepresentation
    and vilification rather than doing the hard work of trying to
    understand the argument like any honest person would do.

    As you have done in the past, you , in true crank fashion, deny the
    sleigh of hands that you are trying.

    So you want to take sleigh ride? Okay, go right ahead, but first know
    that the denial is on your part. Since you are too lazy to read and try to understand a seven-page paper, I'll lay out the arguments that any
    competent physicist could glean by actually reading it:

    (1) The 4MF isn't immune from criticism because it's declared to be a "definition. Nature doesn't care about what humans assert.

    (2) By (1), the 4MF, particularly its transformation into other inertial frames, must be justified only if it can be derived from more basic considerations.

    (3) The basic energy equation is E = mc^2/(1 - u^2/c^2)^0.5.
    For tachyons, m --> im.

    (4) E = imc^2/(1 - u^2/c^2)^0.5 is the accepted relationship for tachyons.

    (5) E' = imc^2/(1 - u'^2/c^2)^0.5, where u' = (u -v)/(1 - uv/c^2).

    (6) Equivalently, E' = mc^/(u'^2/c^2 - 1)^0.5

    (7) E' never becomes negative for ANY real value of u', therefore the 4MF
    is invalid for tachyons when u > c^2/v. For u < c^2/v, tachyons are
    detectable by a stationary receiver, and there is no causality violation, as described by Method I.

    (8) u' becomes asymptotic as u approaches c^2/v. Going beyond that
    is mathematically inappropriate.

    (9) Tachyons with u > c^2/v can be detected by moving the receiver
    toward the tachyon source such that u' < c^2/v, which converts the
    situation to Method II.

    (10) Claims that Method II violates causality are based on switching
    frames in the middle of solving the problem. Figures 4 and 5 in
    DOI: 10.13189/ujpa.2023.170101 show that the two frames disagree
    with the position of the observers, which is due to the relativity of simultaneity. THAT is why switching frames in the middle leads to
    incorrect conclusions, namely causality violation. The moral is to
    stay in ONE frame and solve the problem. Then it's okay to go to the
    other frame and STAY there and solve the whole problem. When you
    do that, you cannot complete a path that violates causality.

    Hence, tachyons would not violate causality even if they existed.
    There, I've done your work for you since you seemed incapable of
    doing it yourself. So pick a paragraph that you think is incorrect and
    we'll discuss it. There's no need for vilification and posturing.

    In the classical (as in non-crank) explanation of the "relativistic anti-telephone", no one is switching any frames. The causality violation is clearly present in Fig 1. So, whatever handwaving you are trying, it is just crank crap.

    Omnidirectional light or a ball of light expands at 2c spherically, i.e. the
    diameter increases at 2c as the radius increases at c, of course,
    because light's speed is constant.

    An image from a relativistic approach exists insofar as "behind the wavefront",
    then as passing the last look and the look back, as that the look back,
    is "reverse angle", so the rear-view would only see if proceeding on the track the image came from, or as what image arrives in space otherwise
    as that it would go out of perspective, which would appear as having shrunk,
    but shrinking while it's observed, vanishing when it's not.

    I.e., something approaching directly and also meeting directly, is visible coming and going, while not directly, it's only visible where it was,
    as when the image arrives as when it was emitted.

    Loosely, ....
    When watching, it's motion and in motion.


    First, when talking about an irrational claim, is to make the case,
    that "irrational", is about the "rational". Here, "rational" is two
    things: it's both the completion of the reasoning, and, the completion
    of never being irrational, the rational. So, "relativity's most irrational", claim, would have to be so minimally irrational or directly rational,
    as what's never exercised irrational, is "irrational roots in relativity, are space and time units, their roots and rational roots and irrational roots".

    This is that "linear keeps in rational roots, irrational roots are also called non-linearities".

    Then, insofar as an irrational claim, then is for "what claim of Relativity actually
    is reasonably or reasonatingly irrational, claim that if irrational at all goes with it,
    other claims".

    I.e., relativity has an "ideal" "claim of irrationality", a guarantee of the guarantee's of its reasonings, that "if irrational at all falls down all roots",
    changing "confusion about everything to do with science, or here relativity, where I can't axiomatize integrable my integrand, that I do, what the guarantees of non-confusion, mean in the applied, and finally to the direct action, usually relativity's first effect, effects in light.

    Then "look" is to effect perspective, and "watch" is to effect perspective, that image is reflectively being present in the perspective, that "motion" and "motion in real-time", is that at any instant, the light diffuses, including shine.

    Clearly it's galilean as a "to light speed impulse", explaining for example chrome effects,
    reflections and that in effect mirrors, where the light is reflected, participate with
    the other observable incident rays at that location, going out, as reflections of sources
    make for that "under the eclipse the leaves of the tree have fringes in their shadow",
    that that moment of the focus, is that "look" is an effect of focus, that each location
    has only one "look" at a time, and is watching what it's looking at, or looking.

    I.e. "it's galilean to an infinite speed impulse, including a light speed impulse",
    making "thus effectively there are no mirrors between any two points in space".

    Then under "irrational roots" there finding either side "overcomplete" that not
    having that, property of mutual completion, it's called "Dirichlet" and "irrational roots"
    where "Dirichlet is rationals 1 irrationals 0" that "a Dirichlet function is about any
    function that density properties in completion are the same everywhere, but it's
    exactly two complementary domains only denseness properties and one 1 the other 0".

    Or, "relativity's most irrational claim" is then "for Einstein either SR or GR, here it
    is that special relativity's most irrational claim, is that light that went one meter,
    did not also go less than one meter with any object in the same 1 meter or it
    over 1 second".

    Then, "restoring relativity's most irrational claim to a contrivance of overcompleteness,
    a usual property guaranteeing what we have adds up, that light's speed is a constant
    and invariant, that then it's glow and shine, the optical and geometric".

    Light is always incident from all angles.

    The scale of the resolution of an image, here is what it means science has achieved "20 orders
    of magnitude resolution" and all the way to atomic scale "25 orders of magnitude resolution",
    the entire body of observability, in the micro is micro-optical and micro-geometric, and in
    the macro is macro-optical and macro-geometric, and in the meso- is optical and geometric.

    So, here I have even put the needle in "I won't even hear nonsense about relativity at all",
    "it's harder to actually of course validate special relativity experimentally", i.e. that point
    being that of course as far as I can tell, every experience I've ever had is explained quite
    well, my interpretation of having "researched special relativity" and "resolved relativity
    in foundations, physics", the point being that by being academic and making an apologetics
    first, then as it goes along I just point to the entire apologetics, mathematical foundations,
    coming up to physical foundations, of bringing that along and bringing one along, an
    entire canon and an apologetics that for "Relativity: the entire discussion and Einstein's
    theories thereon, with all respects to theories real physics", that making arguments in
    relativity always explaining "the light wasn't there", it's that special relativity is given
    the terms in the units, and dimensionless, about why "according to SI's units its these
    necessary formalisms in the Special Relativity all what may apply", is that then for
    example "wherever it falls out or even loosens in contraction, SR has no irrational
    claim in it, only any mistaken derivations after SR and other units, then also and
    especially: that SR's reflection and imaging optical and geometric the light-like,
    is built as continuity laws when not invariances, any invariance that is undercomplete".

    Then this is that "any conservation law is two conservation laws, one of it".

    And they have one continuity law, which least action in theory is time, t.

    "Relativity's most irrational claim: SR's, that things don't move, under roots
    building image, as so for each bundle of roots, that parallel transport is the entire picture, what under optical and gometric terms is only one point image, also only one-sided".


    Think of perspective as looking from infinitely far away, it's called 2-D perspective.

    This way mentally you reconstruct what you're seeing besides what's in front of the eyes -
    also it's the model construct in space terms which are of course equivalent: one mental drawing.

    The point is being that for Einstein and "SR or GR themselves or both",
    is that GR changes in the future, while SR is from the past, so having SR
    in front, is corresponding to the contents, which in imaging are free".

    So, one must separate "SR and GR" or "GR, then SR", and these days enough it's "why yes my units are classical but SR will relativize them, SR is then say
    STR and then GTR" and as Einstein's "SR, then GR, called STR then GTR". There's though that STR-arians say as GR then "GTR...", but it is though, "ah but now, my old GR is already Einstein's new old GR and already old SR's GTR to SR", so in this manner it's still SR and GR to "according to the units",
    that into STR are "these are our units..." then as "then it's one of Einstein's
    'either SR, _or_ GR_", simply gently factoring Einstein's "SR" and "GR" among
    the other resulting constructs, as of course they go together in usual boost addition, what are frames the entire frame.

    It's not irrational, though, both Special Relativity and General Relativity of course
    have a no-nonsense theory, which are quite true and absolutely so in all respects.

    So, any "irrational claim" about relativity must have some "how irrational is it"
    and "how is it irrational", then there's "that's obviously irrational", or, "our knowledge of the theory really ends here, picking one or the other of the SR or GR because I don't have both, is that SR at least is computed always
    as constant velocity, because everything else in the universe is moving.

    "Light never moves: only glows and goes away."

    Light Speed Rest Frame theory <-> Glow Speed Rest Frame theory

    Then, rays over time, helps establish it's a continuous theory.


    Relativity's most irrational claim is "pi is not equal to four".

    The unit radius inside the unit grid, outside of grid makes four,
    outside of circle make pi, inside grid points a square, 2 root two, or 2.818....

    So, for pi/4, and also 4/pi, irrational to each other radians and grid units, it's the most irrational claim that substance is particles.

    Relativity's most irrational claim, ....

    "Relativity's claim is all these rigid rods are 1 unit and measured at rest."

    only to get slapped around.

    Not true, Dono. Although the tachyonic antitelephone gedanken uses only two observers in relative motion:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyonic_antitelephone#Two-way_example

    four observers are commonly employed in tachyon discussions:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon#Causality

    I haven't invented these ideas. I merely put handles on them (Method I
    and Method II, respectively) for convenience. You needn't suppose any "pomposity" was involved :-)

    (10) Claims that Method II violates causality are based on switching frames in the middle of solving the problem.

    Crooked crank,

    No, Dono. A "crank" is someone that adheres to an idea in spite of overwhelming evidence that it is false. OTOH, a person that adheres to
    an unpopular idea that eventually has merit is a champion.

    I'm not saying I'm the latter, but I'm not the former either. And I'm not "crooked", either. Your assertion that I'm trying to pull a fast one by adding observers is unfounded. Actually, it was easier to prove that Method I was free of causality violation than Method II.

    You cannot remove the causality violation by switching frames.

    You have it backwards, Dono. When you DON'T switch frames there is no causality violation.

    Figures 4 and 5 in DOI: 10.13189/ujpa.2023.170101 show that the two
    frames disagree with the position of the observers, which is due to the relativity of simultaneity.

    Crooked crank,

    It's way past time to stop the derogatory, ill-mannered nonsense, Dono.
    It's what "cranks" do.

    You cannot remove the causality violation by switching frames.

    You cannot change the outcome of an experiment (the presence of the
    causality violation) by switching frames.

    Sure you can:

    "An extremely important strategy in solving relativity problems is to plant yourself in a frame and stay there. The only thoughts running through your head should be what you observe. That is, don’t try to use reasoning along the lines
    of, 'Well, the person I’m looking at in this other frame sees such-and-such.' This will almost certainly cause an error somewhere along the way, because you will inevitably end up writing down an equation that combines quantities that are measured in different frames, which is a no-no. -- David Morin, "Introduction
    to Classical Mechanics," p. 522.

    "one should never mix together the descriptions of one phenomenon
    yielded by different observers, otherwise--even in ordinary physics--
    one would immediately meet contradictions" -- E. Recami
    "Classical Tachyons and Possible Applications," Rivista Del Nuovo
    Cimento, 9:6 (1986), p. 66.

    THAT is why switching frames in the middle leads to
    incorrect conclusions, namely causality violation.

    In the classical (as in non-crank) explanation of the "relativistic anti- telephone", no one is switching any frames.

    It's subtle, but yes, they are, Dono. Look at it solely from A's perspective. He sends a signal to D at t = 0 at u = \infty. It arrives at D at t = 0 (A's time). D sends it back to A at what maximum speed? Can it be faster
    than infinity? If u_return = -\infty, it arrives back at A at t = 0.

    The causality violation is clearly present in Fig 1.

    Yes, it is -- because the signal going out was from the perspective of A
    (u = \infty) but the signal coming back was from the perspective of D
    (u' = -\infty). Of course, u' = (u - v)/(1 - uv/c^2), or rearranging:

    u = (u' + v)/(1 + u'v/c^2)

    Let u' approach -\infty then u = +c^2/v, which says the signal reverses direction, which is nonsense. It happens at u' = -c^2/v, where u = \infty.

    So, whatever handwaving you are trying, it is just crank crap.

    It's just algebra, Dono. Try handwaving around that singularity at u' = -c^2/v.

    The moral is to stay in ONE frame and solve the problem.

    Classical explanations (as in the original one by Tolman) STAY in one frame.

    No, they don't, Dono. They switch in Method I gedankens and they switch in Method II gedankens, as I just demonstrated for you. They ASSUMED that D
    could send the signal back at u' < -c^2/v (u' = -\infty idealistically), which can only be done from D's perspective. In DOI: 10.13189/ujpa.2023.170101 Figures 4 and 5 demonstrate this: the arrows with a question mark are from
    the other frame's perspective and cannot be done without switching frames. They also show that the relativity of simultaneity is the reason why causality cannot be violated, even for superluminal objects.

    Tolman, unlike you was not a crooked crank.

    No, but he was wrong because he switched frames in the middle of trying to solve the problem. Relativity of simultaneity bit him in rear.

    You cannot remove the causality violation by switching frames.

    You cannot change the outcome of an experiment (the presence of the causality violation) by switching frames.
    Sure you can:

    "An extremely important strategy in solving relativity problems is to plant yourself in a frame and stay there. The only thoughts running through your head
    should be what you observe. That is, don’t try to use reasoning along the lines
    of, 'Well, the person I’m looking at in this other frame sees such-and-such.'
    This will almost certainly cause an error somewhere along the way, because you

    But you are advocating exactly the opposite.



    In the classical (as in non-crank) explanation of the "relativistic anti- telephone", no one is switching any frames.
    It's subtle, but yes, they are, Dono.

    SR holds that there is an entity "space-time" that is measured by different observers with rulers and clocks. "space-time" is an
    invariant.

    That is, in this context there is an entity "time" that is measured by clocks.

    There is also rulers which measure the space part. You seem to be
    ignoring that.


    Clocks measure time, not space. Only rulers measure space.

    Not really. Clocks measure space, too:

    Only if one *assume*s that a speed, such as c, is valid. c can only be
    verified as valid when referred back to clocks. Its circular.

    In this context, clocks are ticking time, not "space-time". They measure in seconds.


    I have specifically explained in detail that clocks read differently and
    not
    unique, and why they do. In contrast, you are just blabbering.

    Pot, kettle, black. But if different observers read different values for

    I don't understand your point.

    I am, of course, simplifying the issue for the discussion.

    Because of the circularity the the POR and SOL, there are actually an
    infinite number of ways of assigning how the clocks read different. They can
    be a mix of clocks slowing down and time travel.

    This is a complication not relevant for the discussion.

    Another observer moving at a different speed with disagree, so you can't say the moving clock is running slow at some specific rate.

    Strawman. I never made that claim.

    SR does, and it's unavoidable. You look at a subset of the phenomenon and >believe you have the whole thing figured out.

    I don't understand you language. To be clear. I never made the claim that SR states that moving clocks run slow

    SR most certainly does not claim that moving clocks run slow. Is your claim that SR says they do?

    SR claims that clocks "take different paths in space-time", always.

    Time dilation is at the level of "optical illusion" in SR. its an "as if"
    and never physically true.


    Professor (UK head of department) of Physics at Cambridge, David Tong
    (Adams
    prize winner) has a YouTube general audience lecture on QFT:

    http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/

    Royal Institute Lecture on YouTube on QFT (Quantum Field Theory)

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

    Time into video 0:31 :

    "...What are we made of...what are the fundamental building blocks of nature...?"

    Time into video 19:30 :

    "... so there is spread something throughout this room, something we call
    the electron field… it’s like a fluid that fills… the entire universe…
    and
    the ripples of this electron fluid… the waves of this fluid get tied into
    little bundles of energy, by the rules of quantum mechanics... and these
    bundles of energy are what we call the particle the electron....and the
    same
    is true for every kind of particle in the universe..."

    Thus QFT is an Ether in denial.

    QF are "background fields".

    You seem to be dismissing the most accurate theory we have to describe
    one domain of reality.

    Nope. I am dismissing the name. A QF is an ether.


    It means that there is an invariant or absolute object of reality that is
    fixed in 4 dimensions. Its called the "Block Universe"

    I don't believe in the block universe. You shouldn't either.

    Its impossible to accept the SR interpretation without the BU.

    https://www.realclearscience.com/2018/09/03/the_block_universe_theory_explained_282664.html

    I can't access that link. It wants checks my system don't support.

    However, the Block Universe can be proven to be a direct consequence of the
    SR interpretation of the LT. Its trivially obvious.

    One 3rd party argument is here:

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/Petkov-BlockUniverse.pdf

    As I noted prior, its a position held by Lee Smolin.

    Observers take "different paths in space-time". That's why clocks and lengths, apparently, read differently, in SR, not because rules and
    clocks change how they record events.


    you might get less confused about SR.

    I have a pretty good handle on SR mate.

    So you deleted the references to proper time and coordinate time. How
    come?

    Its not relevant. Many get way, way confused on the difference between coordinate systems and reference frames and thus conflate them. Einstein was quite confused on this, using the terms interchangeably.

    Coordinate systems, by definition, have no effect of any physical results whatsoever. They are just a change of variables. One has a function, and its tautological inverse function to swap coordinates back and forth.

    The point of the Lorentz Transform is that it is a *frame* transform that
    uses coordinates simply for convenience.

    A coordinate transform cannot make clocks read different on travel through different paths.

    The LT represents a *frame* transform that does allow for clocks to read different. The GT represents a frame transform that does not allow for
    clocks to read different. The coordinate systems used for a universe
    satisfying the LT of GT are irrelevant. The physical difference between LT frames and GT frames are very relevant.

    If the coordinate system is locked to the frame, then one may analyse on an
    "as if" basis.

    The point is that a rotating coordinate system cannot generate effective forces in an inertial reference frame, it only makes it more difficult to mathematically deal with, so one don't usually do it.

    Thus when terms like "coordinate time" are mentioned, I roll my eyes.


    Indeed, here is what is one of the few actually correct accounts of the
    Twins Paradox that doesn't use acceleration or frame switching.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/twinsparadox/twinsparadox.xht

    I think you disparage some perfectly valid explanations. I've thought
    a lot about the TP in the past and have no need to revisit it.

    If acceleration was actually required to explain the TP, SR would be false. Thus, explanations claiming that acceleration are required, should be disparaged.

    Sure, SR can deal with accelerations (but not gravity), but that's a
    different issue.

    I am also bit of a dab hand at GR, here's my derivation of the Riemann
    Curvature Tensor....

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/riemann/riemann.xht

    You seem to have good handle on tensor calculus. I'm impressed.

    Its a hobby. I have a passing knowledge. My interest is in the fundamentals.

    This is pretty simple. the SOL requires a definition of time and
    length.

    No problem, we have those.

    Unfortunately, we don't have them independently.

    Yes, we do. We had length, time and mass standards, surely you know the >history of the meter:

    Nope. If both length and clock rates have the same function of motion, it
    all cancels out.

    Its impossible to independently define X, T and c. This is obvious.

    Nature can be more subtle than anticipated.

    https://www.nist.gov/si-redefinition/meter

    as well as time and mass.

    One can only make consistent choices, from many consistent choices.

    To verify the SOL for another inertial system, one needs to
    independently
    measure both the SOL and the TIME in that inertial system. This is impossible.

    Dead wrong, Kevin. The MMX used the same equipment in different (approximately) inertial frames to measure the SoL. Admittedly, the measurements were performed in air and had deleterious effects, but
    LLR experiments are consistent with the SoL not being dependent on
    the motion of the mirror on the moon.

    Oh dear... None of this has any relevance to the issue. The observer and
    observed are traveling in the MMX at the *same* speed. dah... There is no
    relative speed for their to be measuring clocks from different points of
    view. Indeed, the MMX can be explained simply by assuming photons.

    You just don't understand the point.

    Ah, but I do understand. And the MMX moved into different inertial frames
    as the earth turned, so your requirement was met without reference to time.

    Oh dear.... interference fringes are dependant on l, c and t

    hint c=l/t

    You seem to miss the point that it is already accepted by mainstream physics that LET IS a valid mathematical explanation of the the LT, and hence, with
    the additional assumption, that the LT is universal, all of the results of
    SR, including for example, the Dirac Equation are reproduced.

    The reason LET works is precisely because of the circularities in the POR
    and POR wit regard to X, T and c

    One doesn't have to agree that LET is actually true, however you claim that there is no flexibility in how X, T and c interact is a claim that is
    already proven to be false.

    The frequency of a tuned circuit, whether it be tank, crystal or atomic, >>doesn't
    change in different frames when measured in that frame.

    Only if one assumes that the clocks don't change in their rates.

    The clock is the only reference to time. Time and clocks are not, logically, the same. Clocks measure time.

    How are you going to check that the rates of the clocks are not different?

    Its a circular argument.

    Describe how a *non* moving observer actually *measures* the *proper*
    time
    that a *moving* observer experiences.

    A "moving" observer can consider himself to be stationary, so he can refer
    to
    the time standard he carries with him.

    But he don't know that such a clock isn't ticking different because of his motion.

    When he actually measures a clock in another system, it reads different,
    thus he should logically conclude that his clock has problems....

    How does one actually know what the clock tick rates are of the moving
    observer, from their point of view, if when the non moving observer
    measures
    it, the ticks are actually measured to run slow.?

    Because movement is relative -- Duh! The "one" is moving relative to the >"moving one"

    Oh dear.... you just don't get it.

    When observers try and actually measure other clocks, they measure them as ticking different.

    Thus they are quite entitled to conclude that clocks do physically depend on motion, thus contradicting the POR.

    To save the POR one has to *assume* aspects of c, L and T

    As I noted, SR is *only* a consistent interpretation of observations, it
    isn't the *only* consistent interpretation of observations.

    Suppose the measurements of the moving clock are the actually reality.
    That
    moving clocks *physically* run slow.

    Why would I imagine such nonsense?

    There is nothing nonsensical about taking a view that when one actually measures the the frequency of moving clocks that they are truly physically running slow. Its the obvious 1st choice. If it looks like a duck, quacks
    like a duck....

    One need to apply the theory of SR to decide otherwise.

    One has to use the axioms of relativity to *assume* that the moving clock
    ticks at the same rate.

    Nope, I KNOW that they do because I'm always moving at different rates.

    Nope. Prove that clocks tick at the same rate when in motion. The direct measurement of inertial clocks say they don't. Its the quacks like a duck thing.

    Unfortunately, those stuck in a circular argument loop often don't know. Its the how "the the bible is proven to be the word of god because the bible
    says its the word of god" fallacy deludes many.

    If all processes go in step on motion, no one would be the wiser. its
    subtle, its why many have missed it, which has led to truly magical
    thinking.

    As has LET, and any other that simply states that there is a physical
    background that time and space emerged from. Sure, the Lorentz ether is
    clearly wrong.

    The reason why the SR *interpretation* of the LT is not tenable, is here:

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    Pardon me if I don't go there.

    You should, it avoids one believing in magic.

    Hint: in a true empty universe, there are no rulers and clocks, thus its
    impossible for any physical property such as an invariant *physical* SOL
    to
    exist. SR requires it does.

    There is no such thing as a "true empty universe" so the point is moot.
    We haven't discovered everything yet.

    The concept is of major importance. It's why SR works.

    Straight lines, X, T and c cannot exist in a truly empty universe. The fact that they do in this universe, says its not empty.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    When you understand this, you will understand why Lee Smolin stated that:

    "...the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it
    until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end"

    SR was invented before QFT existed. It ignored fields as a mechanism as to
    how it could work because it had no idea how in 1905. It did this by
    inventing the "as if" "space-time" *model*.

    The SR model is physically nonsense. Its view of time and space, is
    physically wrong. Space and time must be an aspect of real physical
    processes of real physical objects.

    Sure, physically nonsense descriptions can be very useful. The entire field
    of analog circuit design uses such false ideas, yet create real products.

    You have more than one observer. One observer says the clock is running
    50% the "normal rate, the other says it's running at 80% of the normal rate. Also, two observers in relative motion measure the other's clock as running slow.

    So it's obvious that what they're reading is not the "actual" rate of the clock,

    It IS nonsensical, and it isn't obvious. It seems to me that you are a canard :-)

    SR most certainly does not claim that moving clocks run slow. Is your claim that SR says they do?

    It seems to me that YOU are doing the quacking.

    SR claims that clocks "take different paths in space-time", always.

    Time dilation is at the level of "optical illusion" in SR. its an "as if" and never physically true.

    Reality is that stationary and moving clocks are synchronized when
    they pass, but later they disagree. so it's not exactly an optical illusion.

    "... so there is spread something throughout this room, something
    we call the electron field… it’s like a fluid that fills… the entire
    universe… > >> and the ripples of this electron fluid… the waves of this fluid get tied into little bundles of energy, by the rules of quantum
    mechanics... and these bundles of energy are what we call the particle the electron....and the same is true for every kind of particle in the universe..."

    Thus QFT is an Ether in denial.

    QF are "background fields".

    You seem to be dismissing the most accurate theory we have to describe
    one domain of reality.

    Nope. I am dismissing the name. A QF is an ether.

    Calling it an ether is dissembling, IMHO, because it does not have a motion
    of its own as the classical ether was presumed to have.

    It means that there is an invariant or absolute object of reality that is
    fixed in 4 dimensions. Its called the "Block Universe"

    I don't believe in the block universe. You shouldn't either.

    Its impossible to accept the SR interpretation without the BU.

    However, the Block Universe can be proven to be a direct
    consequence of the SR interpretation of the LT. Its trivially obvious.

    I disagree. And there's more than one block universe concept,so
    it seems that you can waffle around and come to any conclusion
    you want.

    One 3rd party argument is here:

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/Petkov-BlockUniverse.pdf

    As I noted prior, its a position held by Lee Smolin.

    Yeah, well, he's an iconoclast. I like to hear what he has to say, but
    I don't fall at his feet.

    I have a pretty good handle on SR mate.

    So you deleted the references to proper time and coordinate time. How come?

    Its not relevant. Many get way, way confused on the difference between coordinate systems and reference frames and thus conflate them. Einstein was quite confused on this, using the terms interchangeably.

    Coordinate systems, by definition, have no effect of any physical results whatsoever. They are just a change of variables. One has a function, and its tautological inverse function to swap coordinates back and forth.

    The point of the Lorentz Transform is that it is a *frame* transform that uses coordinates simply for convenience.

    A coordinate transform cannot make clocks read different on travel through different paths.

    They're merely matrices to hold observers with instruments like clocks, etc. And since observers populate ALL coordinate systems and have instruments
    to make measurements, you are equivocating.

    The LT represents a *frame* transform that does allow for clocks to read different. The GT represents a frame transform that does not allow for clocks to read different. The coordinate systems used for a universe satisfying the LT of GT are irrelevant. The physical difference between LT frames and GT frames are very relevant.

    If the coordinate system is locked to the frame, then one may analyse on an "as if" basis.

    The point is that a rotating coordinate system cannot generate effective forces in an inertial reference frame, it only makes it more difficult to mathematically deal with, so one don't usually do it.

    Thus when terms like "coordinate time" are mentioned, I roll my eyes.

    When someone rolls their eyes at coordinate time, I roll MY eyes. Why
    don't you kick over the traces and coin "frame time"? :-))

    As for me and my house, I'll stick with a term that is actually understood
    by physicists.

    Indeed, here is what is one of the few actually correct accounts of the Twins Paradox that doesn't use acceleration or frame switching.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/twinsparadox/twinsparadox.xht

    I think you disparage some perfectly valid explanations. I've thought
    a lot about the TP in the past and have no need to revisit it.

    If acceleration was actually required to explain the TP, SR would be false. Thus, explanations claiming that acceleration are required, should be disparaged.

    Since there's more than one way to explain the TP( and they all agree), it's illogical to reject the argument using acceleration.

    I am also bit of a dab hand at GR, here's my derivation of the Riemann Curvature Tensor....

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/riemann/riemann.xht

    You seem to have good handle on tensor calculus. I'm impressed.

    Its a hobby. I have a passing knowledge. My interest is in the fundamentals.

    Well, so am I, but in considering the possible existence of tachyons.

    This is pretty simple. the SOL requires a definition of time and length.

    No problem, we have those.

    Unfortunately, we don't have them independently.

    Yes, we do. We had length, time and mass standards, surely you know the history of the meter:

    Nope. If both length and clock rates have the same function of motion, it all cancels out.

    Its impossible to independently define X, T and c. This is obvious.

    No one is claiming that: only any two are needed (for kinematics).

    Nature can be more subtle than anticipated.

    "God is subtle, but he is not malicious" — Albert Einstein

    "God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they
    cannot be seen." -- Stephen Hawking

    The MMX used the same equipment in different (approximately)
    inertial frames to measure the SoL. Admittedly, the
    measurements were performed in air and had deleterious effects, but LLR experiments are consistent with the SoL not being dependent on
    the motion of the mirror on the moon.

    Oh dear... None of this has any relevance to the issue. The observer and observed are traveling in the MMX at the *same* speed. dah... There is no
    relative speed for their to be measuring clocks from different points of view. Indeed, the MMX can be explained simply by assuming photons.

    You just don't understand the point.

    Ah, but I do understand. And the MMX moved into different inertial frames as the earth turned, so your requirement was met without reference to time.

    Oh dear.... interference fringes are dependant on l, c and t

    hint c=l/t

    If there were a classical ether, the speed of light would not have been constant.

    You seem to miss the point that it is already accepted by mainstream physics that LET IS a valid mathematical explanation of the the LT, and hence, with the additional assumption, that the LT is universal, all of the results of SR, including for example, the Dirac Equation are reproduced.

    The LT is kinematic. Can you derive dynamics from it?

    The reason LET works is precisely because of the circularities in the POR and POR wit regard to X, T and c

    I disagree.

    One doesn't have to agree that LET is actually true, however you claim that there is no flexibility in how X, T and c interact is a claim that is already proven to be false.

    You are misstating my position. It's called straw man.

    The frequency of a tuned circuit, whether it be tank, crystal or atomic, doesn't change in different frames when measured in that frame.

    Only if one assumes that the clocks don't change in their rates.

    What evidence do you have that clocks change their rate in different
    frames?

    The clock is the only reference to time. Time and clocks are not, logically, the same. Clocks measure time.

    How are you going to check that the rates of the clocks are not different?

    Its a circular argument.

    I disagree. You're arguing FOR Lorentz's ether theory which had the property of motion. That has been refuted.

    Describe how a *non* moving observer actually *measures* the *proper* time that a *moving* observer experiences.

    A "moving" observer can consider himself to be stationary, so he can refer to the time standard he carries with him.

    But he don't know that such a clock isn't ticking different because of his motion.

    What motion? The PoR says that a "moving" observer can consider himself to
    be stationary, so if he has an equivalent time standard as the "nonmoving" observer, it's giving him proper time.

    When he actually measures a clock in another system, it reads different, thus he should logically conclude that his clock has problems....

    But when the moving clock comes back, it's ticking at the same rate as his,
    so you are advocating an ether in motion again, which has been refuted.

    How does one actually know what the clock tick rates are of the moving observer, from their point of view, if when the non moving observer measures it, the ticks are actually measured to run slow.?

    Because movement is relative -- Duh! The "one" is moving relative to the "moving one"

    Oh dear.... you just don't get it.

    When observers try and actually measure other clocks, they measure them as ticking different.

    Each measures the other as ticking SLOW, not just different.

    Thus they are quite entitled to conclude that clocks do physically depend on motion, thus contradicting the POR.

    Not when each observes the other's clock as moving slow. The "ether-in-motion" theory has been refuted, so no one is entitled to your speculation.

    To save the POR one has to *assume* aspects of c, L and T

    Sure, one must define two of them.

    As I noted, SR is *only* a consistent interpretation of observations, it isn't the *only* consistent interpretation of observations.

    I don't think you've come up with a robust alternative.

    Suppose the measurements of the moving clock are the actually reality. That moving clocks *physically* run slow.

    Why would I imagine such nonsense?

    There is nothing nonsensical about taking a view that when one actually measures the the frequency of moving clocks that they are truly physically running slow. Its the obvious 1st choice. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck....

    One need to apply the theory of SR to decide otherwise.

    One only need refute a classical ether theory, which has happened.

    One has to use the axioms of relativity to *assume* that the moving clock
    ticks at the same rate.

    Nope, I KNOW that they do because I'm always moving at different rates.

    Nope. Prove that clocks tick at the same rate when in motion. The direct measurement of inertial clocks say they don't. Its the quacks like a duck thing.

    See above.

    Unfortunately, those stuck in a circular argument loop often don't know. Its the how "the the bible is proven to be the word of god because the bible says its the word of god" fallacy deludes many.

    If all processes go in step on motion, no one would be the wiser. its subtle, its why many have missed it, which has led to truly magical thinking.

    Nobody's "missed" it, Kevin. Physicists have gone beyond "angels on the
    head of a pin" arguments.

    As has LET, and any other that simply states that there is a physical background that time and space emerged from. Sure, the Lorentz ether is clearly wrong.

    The reason why the SR *interpretation* of the LT is not tenable, is here:

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    Pardon me if I don't go there.

    You should, it avoids one believing in magic.

    No, I shouldn't. I can tell from what you;re arguing that it's baloney.

    Hint: in a true empty universe, there are no rulers and clocks, thus its impossible for any physical property such as an invariant *physical* SOL to exist. SR requires it does.

    There is no such thing as a "true empty universe" so the point is moot.
    We haven't discovered everything yet.

    The concept is of major importance. It's why SR works.

    So? It's the universe we live in and we're stuck with it.

    Straight lines, X, T and c cannot exist in a truly empty universe. The fact that they do in this universe, says its not empty.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    When you understand this, you will understand why Lee Smolin stated that:

    "...the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end"

    Blockhead universe concept is a dead end, I agree with Smolin.

    SR was invented before QFT existed. It ignored fields as a mechanism as to how it could work because it had no idea how in 1905. It did this by inventing the "as if" "space-time" *model*.

    The SR model is physically nonsense. Its view of time and space, is physically wrong. Space and time must be an aspect of real physical processes of real physical objects.

    And, pray tell, what would be the reason for the existence of those real physical processes? You just move to one more layer of uncertainty.

    Sure, physically nonsense descriptions can be very useful. The entire field of analog circuit design uses such false ideas, yet create real products.

    The traveler measures not only a merely changed distance, but a shorter distance.
    Kevin typically ignores this. The distance is shorter because of the relativity of
    simultaneity. Distance is measured by noting the starting point and the ending point *at the same time*. The "same time" is different in different frames. Time is
    the key factor in length contraction AND time dilation. That's why David Mermin
    entitled his book, "It's About Time."

    What are you babbling on about?

    I explain in full detail in my TP calculation that the traveller measures a shorter distance for himself, and that the stay at home also agrees that the traveller distance is shorter.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/twinsparadox/twinsparadox.xht


    The distance is shorter because of the relativity of
    simultaneity.

    "relativity of simultaneity" is code for "the front and back end of the rod
    are at different points in time", however time travel makes people sound
    like nutjobs, so its usually avoided.

    The problem is that many are scared shitless to actually state the elephant
    in the room.

    That is, what is the only rational physical interpretation of the SR model
    of the LT?

    Its time travel in a block universe.

    The way one lives in denial of this, is to persist in the "path in
    space-time" euphuism and simply refuse to acknowledge what that actually
    means.

    Only one axis of the Minkowski diagram is spatial length, the other, now get this, represents *time*. A length in the time axis physically means going at different rates, say 100sec/sec. Its the only way to interpret a "length" in time. This is the bit Tom Roberts just don't get. I understand his
    viewpoint, unfortunately, he don't understand what time actually is.

    One covers more or less of another's time, in their own time. Thus, one
    covers time at different rates.

    See below on "time represents a real physical process" as clarification on this.

    Distance is measured by noting the starting point and the ending
    point *at the same time*. The "same time" is different in different
    frames. Time is
    the key factor in length contraction AND time dilation.

    Sure.... absolutely...we agree.

    The red herring in the TP is that the time difference occurs on a one way
    trip, and this can be checked by sending signals back and forth, thus no
    need to ever experience accelerations by going back. Return just doubles up
    the time.

    Its how the LT has to work. Any observer has to agree on the physical
    results, without accelerations.

    The problem with SR isn't the LT, and its base conclusions, its the interpretation of the LT.

    We now now that physical objects are excitations in a field. Its QFT. Thus
    the universe absolutely does have background fields. They are ethers in all
    but name.

    A truly empty universe cannot possible have any characteristics. Epsilon0
    thus cannot possible exist, neither can c. This is truly obvious, unfortunately, many have been gaslighted into the delusion that nothing is something.

    The only reason "c in vacuum" can exist, is if the vacuum isn't actually
    empty.

    The basic flaw in the "space-time" view is that time represents a real
    physical process, thus space cannot be exchanged with time. Its not a
    kinematic effect. Its objects physically ageing.

    Space:

    Space is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real
    physical, measurable objects do not all merge into one object. It expresses
    the fact that there are discrete, separate objects that can be identified
    from other objects. Without individual physical objects, space does not
    exist. That is, “space” is how separation of physical objects is accounted for.

    Time:

    Time is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real physical, separate measurable objects change their state such as position and
    momentum. If no individual mass-energy objects changes their state,
    including the quantum vacuum, time does not exist. That is, “time” is how change of a physical object’s state is accounted for.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/Geometry&Relativity.html

    Its real physical objects that create space and time, thus space-time" is physically wrong, and can only represent an "as-if".

    SR is a blind behavioural mathematical model, that works, for the wrong
    reason.

    One don't even need SR or LET to get to the basic equations.

    Nobody understands that. There are a lot of speculations, though. Joan Vaccaro
    has put her finger on the REAL elephant in the room: the fact that there is, in fact, an asymmetry between time and space.

    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspa.2015.0670 https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.04012

    The Minkowski diagram tends to brush over this, so one must be VERY careful using it. I point this out in DOI: 10.13189/ujpa.2023.170101.

    One covers more or less of another's time, in their own time. Thus, one covers time at different rates.

    "covers" time? What does that mean? One always experiences time at one
    second per second.

    See below on "time represents a real physical process" as clarification on this.

    Distance is measured by noting the starting point and the ending
    point *at the same time*. The "same time" is different in different frames. Time is the key factor in length contraction AND time dilation.

    Yes, clocks at points A and B can be synchronized by Einstein sync and a traveler with a clock synchronized at A goes from A to B. He compares
    clocks as he passes B. Time dilation! One way travel but two way clock sync which must be completed before the traveler arrives at B.

    Its how the LT has to work. Any observer has to agree on the physical results, without accelerations.

    Acceleration doesn't matter, although an argument using acceleration
    yields the same results as non-accelerated approaches. So using
    acceleration is not stupid.

    The only reason "c in vacuum" can exist, is if the vacuum isn't actually empty.

    The question you're not addressing is, "Can a volume of space be truly empty?"

    The basic flaw in the "space-time" view is that time represents a real physical process, thus space cannot be exchanged with time. Its not a kinematic effect. Its objects physically ageing.

    I tend to agree. One interpretation of time is that it's a quantum process of matter. Possibly, the virtual particle sea can be considered as matter for this
    purpose. As far as proving that connection. we're not there yet.

    Space:

    Space is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real physical, measurable objects do not all merge into one object. It expresses the fact that there are discrete, separate objects that can be identified from other objects. Without individual physical objects, space does not exist.

    But does the ZPE count as "individual physical objects"?

    One don't even need SR or LET to get to the basic equations.

    What about the basic assumptions (postulates)? One must start with
    those. SR has such which are observed behaviors of nature. If your
    postulates aren't observables ... ?

    Tachyon physics has that problem, but at least it can be explored as an extension of SR which has extensive experimental verification.

    There's your mistake. The other axis represents time IN THE INERTIAL

    You can draw the diagram using any inertial frame, and in other frames
    your original axes are skewed, and NEITHER represents time, because it represents time IN THE ORIGINAL FRAME (only).

    Your attempt to argue by exhaustive enumeration fails because YOU forgot
    a third possibility: clocks following different paths through spacetime
    have different path lengths between a given pair of endpoints, and the
    clock's elapsed proper time is that path length.

    This is no different from two sides of a triangle having
    a different total path length than the third side.

    Nope. That's precisely what "travels through time at different rates
    means". Its what actually *creates* the different path length.
    Its why time in the LT has the gamma factor.

    Hmmmm. So for a right triangle with sides along Cartesian x and y axes,
    the hypotenuse "travels through y at a different rate [#]" -- have you
    ever seen anyone make such a silly claim?

    [#] Different from what? -- from the leg along the x
    axis that does not "travel through y" at all? And you
    seem to forget that the hypotenuse also "travels
    through x"... [I disavow any such use of "traveling";
    I am merely paralleling your usage to show how silly
    it is.]

    The Lorentz transform has a gamma factor for both x and t, and they are
    due to the algebra that is predicated on preserving the group structure,
    not any half-baked notion of "traveling through time".

    The "path length" can't change without travelling through "space-time",
    that is "time", at different rates, by action of the gamma factor.

    Except that every clock "travels through time" at 1 second per second.
    It is only when you look at a clock from a different inertial frame, AND
    FORGET THAT YOU ARE DOING SO, that you can deceive yourself like that.

    Your  use of the word "path length" is just a meaningless word used to
    avoid the fact that SR is time travel into the future.

    Nonsense. For a timelike path, its path length is well defined and equal
    to the elapsed proper time of a clock that follows the path.

    But yes, due to the way we humans perceive time, SR and GR model
    timelike paths as necessarily future directed. Anything else would be
    instantly and completely refuted by very basic observations of the world
    we inhabit. And in accordance with myriad observations, SR and GR also
    model clocks traveling between a given pair of endpoints along different
    paths as having different path lengths (elapsed proper times) -- just
    like triangles on a Euclidean plane.

    Did you even read the abstract???? -- it directly implies the universe
    cannot be 3D, implying it must be (3+1)-D as in SR. Of course nobody
    really expects SR to describe the universe, that requires GR and a much

    Omnidirectional light or a ball of light expands at 2c spherically, i.e. the
    diameter increases at 2c as the radius increases at c, of course,
    because light's speed is constant.

    An image from a relativistic approach exists insofar as "behind the wavefront",
    then as passing the last look and the look back, as that the look back,
    is "reverse angle", so the rear-view would only see if proceeding on the track the image came from, or as what image arrives in space otherwise
    as that it would go out of perspective, which would appear as having shrunk,
    but shrinking while it's observed, vanishing when it's not.

    I.e., something approaching directly and also meeting directly, is visible coming and going, while not directly, it's only visible where it was,
    as when the image arrives as when it was emitted.

    Loosely, ....
    When watching, it's motion and in motion.


    First, when talking about an irrational claim, is to make the case,
    that "irrational", is about the "rational". Here, "rational" is two
    things: it's both the completion of the reasoning, and, the completion
    of never being irrational, the rational. So, "relativity's most irrational", claim, would have to be so minimally irrational or directly rational,
    as what's never exercised irrational, is "irrational roots in relativity, are space and time units, their roots and rational roots and irrational roots".

    This is that "linear keeps in rational roots, irrational roots are also called non-linearities".

    Then, insofar as an irrational claim, then is for "what claim of Relativity actually
    is reasonably or reasonatingly irrational, claim that if irrational at all goes with it,
    other claims".

    I.e., relativity has an "ideal" "claim of irrationality", a guarantee of the guarantee's of its reasonings, that "if irrational at all falls down all roots",
    changing "confusion about everything to do with science, or here relativity, where I can't axiomatize integrable my integrand, that I do, what the guarantees of non-confusion, mean in the applied, and finally to the direct action, usually relativity's first effect, effects in light.

    Then "look" is to effect perspective, and "watch" is to effect perspective, that image is reflectively being present in the perspective, that "motion" and "motion in real-time", is that at any instant, the light diffuses, including shine.

    Clearly it's galilean as a "to light speed impulse", explaining for example chrome effects,
    reflections and that in effect mirrors, where the light is reflected, participate with
    the other observable incident rays at that location, going out, as reflections of sources
    make for that "under the eclipse the leaves of the tree have fringes in their shadow",
    that that moment of the focus, is that "look" is an effect of focus, that each location
    has only one "look" at a time, and is watching what it's looking at, or looking.

    I.e. "it's galilean to an infinite speed impulse, including a light speed impulse",
    making "thus effectively there are no mirrors between any two points in space".

    Then under "irrational roots" there finding either side "overcomplete" that not
    having that, property of mutual completion, it's called "Dirichlet" and "irrational roots"
    where "Dirichlet is rationals 1 irrationals 0" that "a Dirichlet function is about any
    function that density properties in completion are the same everywhere, but it's
    exactly two complementary domains only denseness properties and one 1 the other 0".

    Or, "relativity's most irrational claim" is then "for Einstein either SR or GR, here it
    is that special relativity's most irrational claim, is that light that went one meter,
    did not also go less than one meter with any object in the same 1 meter or it
    over 1 second".

    Then, "restoring relativity's most irrational claim to a contrivance of overcompleteness,
    a usual property guaranteeing what we have adds up, that light's speed is a constant
    and invariant, that then it's glow and shine, the optical and geometric".

    Light is always incident from all angles.

    The scale of the resolution of an image, here is what it means science has achieved "20 orders
    of magnitude resolution" and all the way to atomic scale "25 orders of magnitude resolution",
    the entire body of observability, in the micro is micro-optical and micro-geometric, and in
    the macro is macro-optical and macro-geometric, and in the meso- is optical and geometric.

    So, here I have even put the needle in "I won't even hear nonsense about relativity at all",
    "it's harder to actually of course validate special relativity experimentally", i.e. that point
    being that of course as far as I can tell, every experience I've ever had is explained quite
    well, my interpretation of having "researched special relativity" and "resolved relativity
    in foundations, physics", the point being that by being academic and making an apologetics
    first, then as it goes along I just point to the entire apologetics, mathematical foundations,
    coming up to physical foundations, of bringing that along and bringing one along, an
    entire canon and an apologetics that for "Relativity: the entire discussion and Einstein's
    theories thereon, with all respects to theories real physics", that making arguments in
    relativity always explaining "the light wasn't there", it's that special relativity is given
    the terms in the units, and dimensionless, about why "according to SI's units its these
    necessary formalisms in the Special Relativity all what may apply", is that then for
    example "wherever it falls out or even loosens in contraction, SR has no irrational
    claim in it, only any mistaken derivations after SR and other units, then also and
    especially: that SR's reflection and imaging optical and geometric the light-like,
    is built as continuity laws when not invariances, any invariance that is undercomplete".

    Then this is that "any conservation law is two conservation laws, one of it".

    And they have one continuity law, which least action in theory is time, t.

    "Relativity's most irrational claim: SR's, that things don't move, under roots
    building image, as so for each bundle of roots, that parallel transport is the entire picture, what under optical and gometric terms is only one point image, also only one-sided".


    Think of perspective as looking from infinitely far away, it's called 2-D perspective.

    This way mentally you reconstruct what you're seeing besides what's in front of the eyes -
    also it's the model construct in space terms which are of course equivalent: one mental drawing.

    The point is being that for Einstein and "SR or GR themselves or both",
    is that GR changes in the future, while SR is from the past, so having SR
    in front, is corresponding to the contents, which in imaging are free".

    So, one must separate "SR and GR" or "GR, then SR", and these days enough it's "why yes my units are classical but SR will relativize them, SR is then say
    STR and then GTR" and as Einstein's "SR, then GR, called STR then GTR". There's though that STR-arians say as GR then "GTR...", but it is though, "ah but now, my old GR is already Einstein's new old GR and already old SR's GTR to SR", so in this manner it's still SR and GR to "according to the units",
    that into STR are "these are our units..." then as "then it's one of Einstein's
    'either SR, _or_ GR_", simply gently factoring Einstein's "SR" and "GR" among
    the other resulting constructs, as of course they go together in usual boost addition, what are frames the entire frame.

    It's not irrational, though, both Special Relativity and General Relativity of course
    have a no-nonsense theory, which are quite true and absolutely so in all respects.

    So, any "irrational claim" about relativity must have some "how irrational is it"
    and "how is it irrational", then there's "that's obviously irrational", or, "our knowledge of the theory really ends here, picking one or the other of the SR or GR because I don't have both, is that SR at least is computed always
    as constant velocity, because everything else in the universe is moving.

    "Light never moves: only glows and goes away."

    Light Speed Rest Frame theory <-> Glow Speed Rest Frame theory

    Then, rays over time, helps establish it's a continuous theory.

    Continuous theory!

    The traveller measures not only a merely changed distance, but a shorter distance. Kevin typically ignores this.

    What are you babbling on about?

    I explain in full detail in my TP calculation that the traveller measures
    a
    shorter distance for himself, and that the stay at home also agrees that
    the
    traveller distance is shorter.

    Does the home twin agree? On what basis does he agree?

    The twins both agree.

    The home twin does the calculation for both the ages on a one way trip, as
    does the traveller, and both get the same answer.

    The "Star and twin A" are always in the same frame, so always get L whether they consider the Star pair and twin A moving or not.

    The traveller twin B is not in the Star twin A frame, so always gets
    gamma.L, whether he considers the "star pair and twin A" moving or not.

    The lengths are always asymmetrical, whoever is considered at rest.

    It looks like the standard flaw is to assume that twin B's time is
    synchronised by the at rest length. It isn't, because Twin A is moving
    relative to the Star as well as the Twin.

    I use whatever the LT spits out for the times and distances.

    Sure, I sometimes might be a tad brief in my prose...

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/xht/twinsparadox/twinsparadox.xht

    The distance is shorter because of the relativity of simultaneity.

    "relativity of simultaneity" is code for "the front and back end of the
    rod
    are at different points in time", however time travel makes people sound
    like nutjobs, so its usually avoided.

    There you go being "a tad brief" again :-) An observer ALWAYS measures
    the front end and back end of the rod at the SAME time.

    That is not the point.

    The point is that when the static observer is measuring events occurring at
    one end of the moving rod and the other end, the events act as if they are
    at different points in time, with regard to the rod thinking that they are
    at the same time.

    That leads to the mental picture that the back and front of the rod are in different points in time.

    This truly obviously light bulb understanding of " relativity of
    simultaneity", is the "sounds like a nutjob"



    The way one lives in denial of this, is to persist in the "path in
    space-time" euphuism and simply refuse to acknowledge what that actually
    means.

    Only one axis of the Minkowski diagram is spatial length, the other, now
    get
    this, represents *time*. A length in the time axis physically means going
    at
    different rates, say 100sec/sec. Its the only way to interpret a "length"
    in
    time. This is the bit Tom Roberts just don't get. I understand his
    viewpoint, unfortunately, he don't understand what time actually is.

    Nobody understands that. There are a lot of speculations, though. Joan >Vaccaro
    has put her finger on the REAL elephant in the room: the fact that there
    is, in
    fact, an asymmetry between time and space.

    We don't know what synchronise time to all objects in the universe. We do
    know that time represents physical change.

    https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspa.2015.0670 https://arxiv.org/abs/1502.04012

    This is exactly the point. Time is a physical process. Objects evolve, that
    is change state.

    The synchronisation of time for all objects needs to be stable to 1 part in 10^20 or so, otherwise the atoms would have dismantled themselves by now.

    The *apparent* SOL must be invariant because its a term in the fine
    structure constant. It the apparent SOL varied the FSC would be such that
    this universe couldn't exist as it's fine tuned.

    One covers more or less of another's time, in their own time. Thus, one
    covers time at different rates.

    "covers" time? What does that mean? One always experiences time at one >second per second.

    "Covers more of the time of another observer"

    One gets to the future, before someone else.

    This seems clear to me.

    See below on "time represents a real physical process" as clarification on this.


    Its how the LT has to work. Any observer has to agree on the physical
    results, without accelerations.

    Acceleration doesn't matter, although an argument using acceleration
    yields the same results as non-accelerated approaches. So using
    acceleration is not stupid.

    The problem with introducing acceleration, is that it implies that
    acceleration is how/why the differences occur.

    Indeed, I had this view of SR until our resident expert Tom Roberts
    explained around 23 years ago in this NG.

    Most of the time Tom is on the ball, however, he has difficulty in dealing
    with alternative interpretations.

    The problem with SR isn't the LT, and its base conclusions, its the
    interpretation of the LT.

    We now [k]now that physical objects are excitations in a field. Its QFT.
    Thus
    the universe absolutely does have background fields. They are ethers in
    all
    but name.

    A truly empty universe cannot possible have any characteristics. Epsilon0
    thus cannot possible exist, neither can c. This is truly obvious,
    unfortunately, many have been gaslighted into the delusion that nothing
    is
    something.

    The only reason "c in vacuum" can exist, is if the vacuum isn't actually
    empty.

    The question you're not addressing is, "Can a volume of space be truly >empty?"

    In principle, yes.

    In this universe....maybe.....

    Space:

    Space is the concept that is used to account for the fact that real
    physical, measurable objects do not all merge into one object. It
    expresses
    the fact that there are discrete, separate objects that can be identified
    from other objects. Without individual physical objects, space does not
    exist. That is, “space” is how separation of physical objects is
    accounted
    for.

    But does the ZPE count as "individual physical objects"?

    "individual objects" means any method to identify a change. Its a
    definition.

    Different lumped disturbances in a rope would do.

    If there is complete homogeneity, one can't detect anything.


    One don't even need SR or LET to get to the basic equations.

    What about the basic assumptions (postulates)? One must start with
    those. SR has such which are observed behaviors of nature. If your >postulates aren't observables ... ?

    The problem is that the alleged observed behaviour may have different consistent interpretations.

    As noted before. If one measures a moving clock, it appears to tick slow. SR denies this is physically real and offers one alternative.

    The POR implies that clock ticks, locally must always tick the same, thus always tick the same.

    However, this can just be an illusions, as described by:

    Neil deGrasse Tyson has an "explanation" of SR time on youTube

    time point 1:20

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2s1-RHuljo

    "Time ticks more slowly for you... not just your clock its
    everything...about you and your environment slows down... you don't notice
    this because everything slows down..."


    Tyson don't actually understand that he is not describing SR, but the background alternative. Oh the irony....

    He is explaining how things are, apparently, truly physically changing (in
    his view), but that no one notices, hence the POR is apparently true, but actually isn't.

    The root to this, as noted prior, the axioms of SR are circular, allowing different interpretations of the LT.

    Except that every clock "travels through time" at 1 second per second. It
    is only when you look at a clock from a different inertial frame, AND
    FORGET THAT YOU ARE DOING SO, that you can deceive yourself like that.

    This is the twaddle of SR. Time is a real physical process. It describes how objects change their real physical state.

    Sure, it can be useful to engage a blind behaviour mathematical model and pretend that its a "length". It isn't.

    Time isn't a length, its a physical process.

    Your use of the word "path length" is just a meaningless word used to
    avoid the fact that SR is time travel into the future.

    Nonsense. For a timelike path, its path length is well defined and equal to >the elapsed proper time of a clock that follows the path.

    More of the same twaddle

    Time is a real physical process. It describes how objects change their real physical state.

    You are so indoctrinated with your math, that you just cant get to grips
    with physical reality.


    But yes, due to the way we humans perceive time, SR and GR model timelike >paths as necessarily future directed. Anything else would be instantly and >completely refuted by very basic observations of the world we inhabit. And
    in accordance with myriad observations, SR and GR also model clocks

    Again, more of the same twaddle

    Time is a real physical process. It describes how objects change their real physical state.

    Lee Smolin:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/jun/10/time-reborn-farewell-reality-review

    "...And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously
    for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made
    time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a
    logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin."

    You just cant get out of the mind virus that SR is a blind mathematical
    model. It isn't reality. Claiming that "time" is simply another axis and ignoring what it actually is delusional.


    Einstein:

    "The theory of relativity belongs to a class of "principle-theories...As
    such, it employs an analytic method, which means that the elements of this theory are not based on hypothesis but on empirical discovery."

    That is, physical hypotheses (mechanisms) are ignored from the outset, so clearly makes no statement as to what those processes might be. Einstein is directly declaring here explicitly, that he not even going to offer an explanation.

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/Petkov-BlockUniverse.pdf - 3rd party account of the block universe

    Did you even read the abstract???? -- it directly implies the universe
    cannot be 3D, implying it must be (3+1)-D as in SR.

    Sure, it says that IF the SR interpretation of the LT is correct, the
    universe is described by some sort of 4 D model

    What's your point?

    Only one axis of the Minkowski diagram is spatial length, the other, now
    get
    this, represents *time*. A length in the time axis physically means going
    at
    different rates, say 100sec/sec. Its the only way to interpret a "length"
    in
    time. This is the bit Tom Roberts just don't get. I understand his
    viewpoint, unfortunately, he don't understand what time actually is.

    Nobody understands that.

    When any object in the universe, including the quantum vacuum, changes its position, time has changed.

    This is truly obvious. If nothing changes position, somewhere, than time has stopped, that is, don't exist

    This includes Spin. There must be something internal that moves from one position to another. That's why something like String Theory must be
    correct. Internal vibrations is the obvious solution.

    All there is in the universe, are objects, that move. Period. Anything else
    as an explanation is magic.

    There are a lot of speculations, though. Joan Vaccaro
    has put her finger on the REAL elephant in the room: the fact that there
    is, in
    fact, an asymmetry between time and space.

    This is truly a WOW.... I haven't ever thought of this before, but after
    the fact, its so f'ing obvious. Its a killer to the space-time view as
    reality

    Sure, an object, say, an electron cannot be localised in time, because it always exists, however it can be localised in space.

    A fundamental object has an infinite "length" in the time axis.

    What's also interesting is that in "Gravitation" MTW Box 2.1 "Farewell to
    ict" it explains that:

    "One participant in special relativity will have to be put to the sword: x^4=ict .... no one has discovered a way to make an imaginary coordinate
    work in the general curved spacetime manifold"

    The problem is the naive illusion of a time=space because of the apparent invariance of the SOL, via x=ct


    Einstein:

    "The theory of relativity belongs to a class of "principle-theories...As
    such, it employs an analytic method, which means that the elements of this theory are not based on hypothesis but on empirical discovery."

    That is, physical hypotheses (mechanisms) are ignored from the outset, so clearly makes no statement as to what those processes might be. Einstein is directly declaring here explicitly, that he not even going to offer an explanation.

    Einstein simply ignores the issue. Unfortunately, the followers took this to
    be "no physical mechanism is required to explain the SOL"

    Its trivially obvious that if the universe was truly empty, the SOL would be infinite. It isn't because there is $hit in the way.

    The symmetry and group arguments for SR are actually only anthropic
    arguments. Its "whatever the actual physical mechanism is that generates our universe is, it must satisfy the LT"

    https://www.kevinaylward.co.uk/gr/misc/AxiomaticSR.html - Tom Roberts derivation.

    The LT clearly has a physical cause, it cant be magic.

    QFT with its "particles are excitations in a field" is an explicit
    declaration that there exists throughout the vacuum, a real physical
    substance. Most are too $hit scared to state this because of all the
    historical bad press on "Ether"

    This is truly obvious.

    Hmmm. This depends on unusual meanings of words.

    Not true. Physicists don't way that because in QFT it is not true. ALso
    because the fields of QFT are not at all an "ether".

    Sure it does. if the quantum fields have no position, its impossible to
    write f(x,t) to describe anything with referance to it.

    Its true to anyone that don't believe in magic.

    Not in our best physical theories.

    Present a description of an experiment that can demonstrate that if nothing changes, time exists.

    Hint: clocks can't work if nothing at all changes

    You have truly lost the plot mate.


    This includes Spin. There must be something internal that moves from one position to another.

    Not in QFT.

    QFT is a macroscopic description of events. It doesn't address physically
    how E=mc^2, that is how can mass be notionally exchanged with energy.

    That's why something like String Theory must be correct. Internal
    vibrations is the obvious solution.

    Only to people like you who reify their personal fantasies.

    ...and you argument as what spin physically is, is?

    That is, how does an electron, considered a point particle, have spin?

    Hint: magic don't exist.

    The only option is internal motion.

    All there is in the universe are objects, that move. Again truly obvious.

    Give us another explanation.


    All there is in the universe, are objects, that move. Period.

    Not in QFT. In QFT, all that exists are fields.

    Er nope. What QFT actually means is a matter of strong debate:


    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/quantum-field-theory/

    There is a detailed description as to the interpretation of QFT is it
    particle or fields that are fundamental?

    Particles move mate. But so do fields.

    Extract....

    5.1.1 The Particle Interpretation

    5.1.1.1 The Particle Concept

    5.1.1.2 Why QFT Seems to be About Particles ......

    5.1.2 The Field Interpretation .... Since various arguments seem to speak against a particle interpretation...

    QFT with its "particles are excitations in a field" is an explicit
    declaration that there exists throughout the vacuum, a real physical
    substance.

    Hmmm. This depends on unusual meanings of words.

    Ho hummm.....FFS

    Either the fields of QFT are simple a mathematical abstractions of
    observations or they are physically real themselves.

    In the event that thee are an abstraction, they must still be referring to something physical, or it QFT means nothing. QFT wont describe physical observations at all.

    What it refers to, must be physically real, otherwise QFT is physically meaningless.

    You are denying that physical reality actually exists mate.

    Most are too $hit scared to state this because of all the historical bad
    press on "Ether"


    Not true. Physicists don't way that because in QFT it is not true. ALso >because the fields of QFT are not at all an "ether".

    Sure they are.

    Hmmm. When one writes f(x.t) one is expressing its value with respect to

    for suitable f(.,.), x, and t.

    This is truly obvious.

    No "magic" is involved, only coordinates. But one DOES need to
    understand the mathematics involved, and it is quite clear that YOU don't.
