Gerald L. O'Barr <globarr...@xxxxxxxxx> comments:
I see. You are expecting invisible angels to come
to your defense!

I am sorry, Bill, but LET is not an invisible
angle story. In the ether, a light clock shows the
exact change in rate that is required, and it does so
perfectly, with no invisible angels doing anything!

And in the ether, an equal potential surface shows
the exact change in dimension that is required, and
there is no need for an angel to do anything. In
fact, there is no need for one single angel in the
LET theory. So I am sorry, your story will do you no
good.
But to really get down to the real facts, LET is
actually the theory that is keeping Newton's laws!
It is SR that is really using angels (your impossible
4-D spacetime continuum, and jumps in time, and back
in time, and breaks in symmetries, and on and on with
impossible things that just happens.) So you can
keep all these angels for yourself. LET does not
need or use such things!

But thanks for reading, anyway!
