This is a post aimed at anyone who thinks Einstein's SR was wrong.


SR is based on two postulates:

i) The speed of light is constant for all observers.

ii) The laws of physics will be valid for all observers.

(For the pedantic among, this is a précis of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity.)


So, if you think Einstein/SR is wrong, please indicate by choosing one
of the following options:

a) The problem lies in the first postulate (speed of light).

b) The problem lies in the second postulate (consistency of physics)

c) I agree with the postulates, but I think that the analysis
and conclusions are wrong.

d) Some other reason / don't know, it's just plain wrong



Mark your answers a,b,c or d. I'm not interested in colleting theories
at this point, just your vote (you will be snipped!)

I'll create a summary at the close of the thread.

I guess you were hoping that those who thing SR is wrong
would answer your, perfectly reasonable, questions and
that this would lead to an intelligent discussion in which
you could point out where they had gone wrong.

As you see from the replies, the crackpots on this group
are completely incapable of any kind of logical approach,
especially if the perceive that it might be the start of a
logical argument which they will lose.

I have asked several of the crackpots how they would
approach a very simple question of basic experimental
physics, such as measuring the speed of a train.

To date, I have got nothing but abuse from the. One
can only speculate as to why this is.
