So what was the breaking point? This ought to be amusing, considering
you are old enough to have been around for every fundamental
experiment that supports SR save for the MMX.

Perhaps you had a mentor that was of the old guard who could never
accept SR and passed his beliefs on to you, which stuck because of
your massive ignorance of all things mathematical and physical?

If what you say is true, you have been stupid for a better fraction of
a century - Uncle Al was right, stupidity is forever.
