The point is, you cannot detect a change in relativistic mass on
yourself

Sure you can. The observer in the moving frame will definitely read an
increase in weight.

That will be offset by an inertial increase. Eotvosch remains valid in an
inertial frame.

The question asked in that paper I mentioned to Jekyl was not about
measurements in an inertial frame. IT was about measurements in a
gravitational field. The author of the paper made a mistake and his
assumption that he made to get there (whatever that assumption may have
been) got him the wrong answer. I wrote the author about it and am waiting
for a response.


This will be due to an increase in the gravitational field as recorded by
the moving observer. The observer at rest will attribute the increase in
weight as an increase in passive gravitational mass.

Mass does not increase, it gets harder to accelerate. This has the same
effect as if the mass was increased.

No comment. Hear people say this hundreds of times before and I have no wish
to discuss this further.

Thanks for the response
