normal clocks that are not responsive to motion
through a dielectric shouldn't change rate.

I tried to buy a 'normal clock' at the clock store but they told me they
are no longer made. They used to be made in Newton's days, but now
EVERYTHING that is made of charged particles responds to motion through
space, which is a dielectric medium. Maxwell managed to change the laws of
physics with his equations.

Did you try to buy a light-clock specifically designed to
respond to motion through media? If the clock store had one
I think you would find most of the clocks you have are
"normal" when you blow hydrogen gas at a significant fraction
of c toward or past their cases.

The gas moving between the light-clock's mirrors will cause it
to slow however.


And the neutronium clocks are too heavy to carry around.

So, let me borrow your 'normal clock' pleeeeze. I will gladly return it
just as soon as my twin brings it back from his trip to the Andromeda
Galaxy.

"normal" clocks are usually inertial mechanisms. Are you disputing
this statement with your suggestion that a light-clock should behave
the same way as an inertial clock ?


<<A Lorentz transformation or any other coordinate
transformation will convert electric or magnetic
fields into mixtures of electric and magnetic fields,
but no transformation mixes them with the
gravitational field. >>

If you can, then you will be demonstrating that
General Relativity is unnecessay and you'll have
some evidence of an inertial ether to support your
argument.

I'll trade you a normal clock for a light-clock.
You might get a good deal on this one but you'll
have to supply your own launch vehicle and figure out
how to expose it to moving ism.
