@All Time to stir the pot a bit, lol. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2094665,00.htmlIf the Europeans are right, Einstein was not just wrong but almost clueless. The implications could be huge. Particles that move faster than light are essentially moving backwards in time, which could make the phrase cause and effect obsolete. This is funny and shows the actual extent of the delusion out there in La La land, what if there is no time dilation, never has been and never will be because it is absurd. What if time dilation was solely due to politics, you see Einstein was an ambitious man and he knew no theory would fly which contradicted Maxwell's equations because they had already been accepted as fact, not proven beyond all doubt but accepted. The problem is that once something is accepted in the world of science it is next to impossible to reverse because that would imply people who consider themselves to be beyond reproach must be wrong in some way and they could never wrong in their funny little world so they must first grow old and die then be proven wrong. Thus Einstein's belief in some "fabric of space" or media in which energy could propagate had to be abandoned and a work around concocted hence time dilation was born. Not because there was actual time dilation which is absurd but because Maxwell's equations did not include any external influences or forces as he stated for all to see in his papers. My guess is that an ambitious patent clerk with dreams of grandeur patched together a theory, mostly borrowed from a french physicist, and figured he could correct it after the fact before anyone smart enough noticed it's flaws. It should be no surprise that one year after the release of GR only one person had the balls to state they understood it and it should also be no surprise that this nonsense continues even as we speak. No one is tearing up the Einsteinian rule book just yet. As physicists well know, astonishing results like this often turn out to be wrong, especially when they haven't been double-checked. Sometimes that means the group announcing the big news has done shoddy work, like the Utah chemists who announced to great fanfare back in 1989 that they'd achieved controlled nuclear fusion on a tabletop — the cold-fusion kerfuffle — trumping the physicists who'd been struggling for years to do the same thing with billion-dollar machines. Wow, this sounds more like a pissing contest that science, more politics. And sometimes, the researchers have gone about things the right way, carefully checking their equipment and their calculations to make sure they aren't being fooled by some mundane, potentially embarrassing glitch. Like believing in unicorns, time dilation and fairy dust, that kind of glitch?. Check your premise boys. Or maybe it won't: the history of science may be littered with claims that were ultimately proved false, but some outrageous ideas turn out to be true in the end. Take dark matter, the mysterious, invisible stuff that outweighs the visible stars and galaxies by a factor of 10 to 1. When it was first proposed in the 1930s, nobody believed it. When it reappeared in the 1960s, everyone laughed. Now it's firmly accepted as a fundamental part of the universe. Now I think we are getting somewhere, a mysterious invisible stuff filling the universe which was discovered, dicarded, laughed at, rediscoved and again discarded, ridiculed, then finally accepted when given was no other choice. We could ask a simple question here, have we been given any real undeniable proof that time can change? Well sure we have when a clock, atomic or not, when compared to another shows a difference, that is a change in the rate at which time passes. Hold on a second I have time dilation in every clock in my house, no wait the batteries are low in some of them and they are just plain old cheap clocks. Hmm could it be that the rate of the passage of time has not changed but the clocks themselves have in some way? Could it be that time is not effected by velocity but matter is which is the reason the clocks appear to change their rate?. Could it be possible that some mysterious invisible stuff filling the universe has effected our clocks, you see this is the problem with mysterious invisible stuff we do not understand, we do not know what it can effect or how it can effect things hence the term "mysterious". Could it be that we have never measured a change in the stuff our clocks are made of because all the things we use to measure this stuff are effected in exactly the same way giving the appearance that nothing has changed?. @FuzzyTomCat Those pesky Zipties or Zipnot things of Rosemary's go faster than the speed of light ?? Those damn Zipons keep making my beer warm so I have to drink it all real fast which is why I'm always drunk, I wish Rosemary would do something about them. Regards AC
