About 40 years ago the writer came across the observation in a

two independent variables. One of those variables, E, M, or C must be
dependent upon the other two.
Why?
Just looking at the mathematical formula how can you determine that?
xxein: If you accept a relativity, there are really no independent
variables. Nothing is anchored to an objectivity.
There is a certain E and M and c, but there is something else.
Movement. It gives us our sense of time. But through time, it also
gives us a false sense of movement, E, M and c.
It's not really Einstein's fault. He just made a relativity popular
through some difficult mathematics.
We might have been weaned to it, but we can be weaned out of it also.
This is most difficult (or impossible) for believers at this stage of
the game. 'Things' seem to work so well. I am in an agreement here
but it is not the physic.
I don't think anybody would agree that a real physic would or could
change what we currently measure as our 'physics'. But wouldn't it be
nice to understand how that works? After all, there is some form of
an objectivity present. We exist, the universe exists. It becomes
not a matter of how we exist (the physic), but how we think we exist
(a physics). This has many false answers and no matter how
sophisticated we try to be, we always change it in the morrow.
I might not be entirely right (and I accept that), but I am almost
lightyears ahead of your thinking. Re-think the idea of
objectiveness. It might be hard to find but you know it exists. You
just haven't bothered to look for it amid the current Relativity
flurry.
I'll quit while I'm ahead (of the beer).
Go Bama!
