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

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

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

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
uni students are wordcel functionaries who dont understand what there saying but reiterating what they were told physics is no exception
>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.
