To Endrocles,
Time flows at a constant rate throughout the universe no matter at what
velocity one travels in relation to a "stationary" observer. For example
each of us aged one year between Jan. 1 2003 and Jan. 1 2004, no matter how
far we travelled during that year.
In other words, time dilation is a myth, since "Time waits for no one".
My Selected Papers clearly explain the difference between observed reality
and actual reality.
The same event watched from a different perspective may appear to last
longer or shorter, but in reality it last the same length of time no matter
who is looking at it.
Just in case you wonder, I don't believe that a virgin can give birth to a
child either, especially if she was married at the time. Yet there are a
great number of people on this earth who believe exactly that. Nor do I
believe in the god of thunder and lightning.
To be a scientist you have to have the courage to discard the illogical, no
matter what religion or cult tells you to the contrary. Because the
scientific method doesn't allow for miracles.
A body can be black or white, but it can't be both black AND white all over,
at any given point in time.
"Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of
the improbable."
H. L. Mencken (1880-1956), US journalist.
