In this post of Thursday, Feb 23 2006, I asked the question "Tell me
why Einstein's SR was wrong"

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/c6a12ad55cf8ea92

The choice of answer was :

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


There were 5 dissenting replies

a) = 1
b) = 0
c) = 0
d) = 4

If the replying poster did not pick (a), (b) or (c) then they are
counted as (d).

No-one picked (b) The problem lies in the second postulate (consistency
of physics), although interestingly there did seem to be some confusion
on what constituted consistency.

Ken Seto's post seem to imply option (c), but since he did not outright
declare it, it was counted as (d)

Despite asking posters to vote for an option and not post
justifications of their theories, Tim Shuba was the only contributor to
make a selection, although he couldn't resist adding a qualifying
explanation.

xxein: Gee. What were those choices again? I thought the second
postulate was light and the first was consistency (your words).

I don't think I would trust you with baking soda and water in the same
room.

Dirk, once again, got his own name right.
