Re: New version of a relativity FAQ

Pmb says...

This is a good example of why I don't read/pay attention to Tom's comments.
If 2+2 = 4 in 1948 then just because its 2008 there is no reason to suspect
that 2+2 does not equal 4.

In this case Einstein's arguement is far from
being time dependant since none of the material in his arguement would hinge
on such arguements

That's wrong. The understanding of General Relativity has *advanced*
since 1948. Yes, if Einstein was stating a mathematical theorem, then
no, it would still be a theorem today (although it is very likely that
it would be formulated in different language). But Einstein's remarks
were not of the character of a mathematical theorem.
