"Einstein's Unfortunate Legacy #2"
....
Under General Relativity, on the other hand, while there is a
transformation for
time (the time dilation), there is no analogous transformation for length.
Duh??? General relativity is identical to special relativity in a region
where gravitational effects can be ignored, and the predictions therefore
agree perfectly. GR is constructed by pasting together lots of local
inertial frames, each of which behaves separately exactly as in special
relativity.
General Relativity was accepted after it "correctly" predicted
the time dilation, the precession of Mercury's Orbit, and the bending of
light
as it passed the Sun. What was conveniently overlooked was the fact that
the
Sun's field is about 5 orders of magnitude too weak to reveal the error
which
exists.
Oh no! You mean that thousands of physicists have done the calculations and
found they agreed with experiment, but you, who have demonstrated you do not
understand the required mathematics, have come up with a different answer.
It's so difficult to know who to believe...
