Don't feed the troll .. you're playing his game.
On the contrary, it's my game, and he's playing it with me. I used to
make a fair amount of money off suckers in bars in college who thought
they were pretty good at 8-ball.

Well, I am still waiting for the scientist who is going to explain
what is wrong with the Galilean transformation equations being used to
explain the transmission of light the way I use them.
THEY ARE WRONG.
How many variations of "they are wrong - see <example #23423423>" do
you require before you figure out what was known over a century ago?
That is exactly what the church court told Galileo while he was
alive. All you are doing is reciting dogma.
Do you really not understand the difference between
"the book says the answer is 3"
and
"the experiment measures 3.000 to within the
limits of experimental precision"
?
I would say that, on the contrary, sticking to your
beliefs as you do in the face of overwhelming physical
evidence to the contrary constitutes religious faith.
What else would you call it?

Well, Randy, you say that you have experimental evidence. Let's just
briefly review the evidence. The first evidence was the perihelon of
the orbit of Mercury. So let's examine that evidence. Mercury is
traveling at a velocity of 30 miles per second. At a velocity of 30
miles per second, n' in my equations, is identical to t' in the
Lorentz equations to several decimal places. So, as you say, this is
indeed religious faith. Two numbers that agree to several decimal
places have to be taken on faith that scientists will not be able to
prove that one is the correct answer and the other is wrong. So all
you have to do is produce the proof that n' as derived from the
Galilean transformation equations is the one that is wrong. Now as
far as other experiments that have been described, all seem to involve
velocities slower than 30 miles per second, so unless scientists can
think of a good reason otherwise, that seems to be the experiment with
the highest degree of accuracy.
Then we have experiments involving sub-atomic particles, etc. We
could discuss some of those if you would like to do it, but I do not
have much information about them. So the perihelon of the orbit of
Mercury seems to be the best option right now. Why don't you just use
that to prove that these equations are wrong?
x'=x-vt
t'=t
w = velocity of light
x=wt
x'=wn'
wn'=wt-vt
n'=t(1-v/w)
