The irony
@dicey @gav @hidden @Leaflord @Hyolobrika
"Albert Einstein presented the theories of special relativity and general relativity in publications that either contained no formal references to previous literature, or referred only to a small number of his predecessors"
"Subsequently, claims have been put forward about both theories, asserting that they were formulated, either wholly or in part, by others before Einstein"
@dicey @gav @hidden @Leaflord @Hyolobrika
In his History of the theories of ether and electricity from 1953, E. T. Whittaker claimed that relativity is the creation of Poincaré and Lorentz and attributed to Einstein's papers only little importance

In physics, an object, like your pants, can shrink when you put them in the dryer. But the dryer can NEVER shrink the “length” of your pants. Length is a static qualitative property that can neither shrink nor expand.....no way in Hell.

And you will need a video camera of at least 1/(.5c) fps to observe it.
@TheMadPirate @gav @hidden @Leaflord @dicey @Hyolobrika
1 / 0.5c = time / length
time / length frames per second makes no sense
This might be some number of seconds per meter per second
or in other words a camera rate of per meter
like some number of meters to the negative one power
Your units are wrong
Rethink and or rewrite what you are trying to say

A car is moving a 0.99 times the speed of light relative to the ground on the race track & the finish line
A wall is a certain distance past the finish line
When the center of the car touches the finish line for both reference frames
From one reference frame the car hits the wall
From the other reference frame the car does not hit the wall
For a certain car length and wall distance from the finish line
So contradictory
@TheMadPirate @gav @hidden @Humpleupagus @Leaflord @dicey @Hyolobrika
There are two types of time
1 Order of events
2 The time reading on a physical device called a clock
If the order of events changes that is contradictory and impossible
If the order that people witness events occuring such as due to the finite speed of light and speed of sound is different from one person to another that might not be a contradiction
Two clocks showing two different times does not mean the order changes
@TheMadPirate @gav @hidden @Humpleupagus @Leaflord @dicey @Hyolobrika
From the reference frame in which the race car is stationary it hits the wall when it's center is on the finish line because the distance from the finish line to the wall is shorter
From the reference frame where the car is moving and the finish line is stationary the car does not hit the wall when it's center is over the finish line becauze the car is shorter
Is the car destroyed when it's center intersects finish line?
Think for example on the problem of an astronaut falling into a blackhole, pass the event horizon, the astronaut stopped moving and will take an "infinite" time to fall into the blackhole, whereas from the point of view of the astronaut he keeps falling into the blackhole with the corresponding acceleration. The issue there is that the self time and the observers time are different and do no advance in the same way.
@TheMadPirate @gav @hidden @Humpleupagus @Leaflord @dicey @Hyolobrika
Gav is right
No common person owns these really fast objects to prove it
People just trust by faith the stories about atomic clocks in super fast planes having different times than the ones stationary relative to the earth
All the so called experiments use equipment that the common person can not afford and does not have access to

There are no perfect vacuums only very low density medfiums that are called vacuums
In different reference frames the very low density medium that you want to pretend is a vacuum would be moving in different velocities
Light is not traveling through a vacuum, never traveled through a vacuum and never will travel through a vacuum

YES. I FUCKING HATE IT. WITH ALL MY GUTS AND SOUL. I HATE THOSE BLABBERING CHARLATANS.

If you accept the special theory of relativity you have to reject object truth and objective reality
Does that mean Gav is right that it is post modern?
You do not have to reject objective truth and objective reality to say Newtonian Physics is close enough
>If you accept the special theory of relativity you have to reject object truth and objective reality
No. It is exactly the opposite. Einstein's theory of Relativity states that the laws of nature are absolute, they are the SAME for ALL observers EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE. That's the opposite of philosophical relativism.
It gets even crazier with wormholes though.
A logical system based on two contradictory thesis is obviously inconsistent and thus can be disregarded as logically fallacious and nonsense.
@TheMadPirate @gav @hidden @Leaflord @dicey @Hyolobrika
Supposedly clocks moving at fast speeds relative to one another that started at the same time before they started moving relative to one another will give different results although I have never tested that
But that does not prove Einstein's theory because other theories also give that result
Self contrafictions disprove Einstein's theory
Those who point out Einstein's contradictions are called not smart or antisemitic
