Re: Proposal for an experiment to differentiate SRT from LET

It simply is not possible to devise an experiment to distinguish SR from
LET. This is so because both theories use the same mathematics -- the
Lorentz group. When comparing theory to experiment, one applies the math
of the theory to the physical situation of the experiment. So two
theories that share the same math will make identical predictions for
ANY experiment, and thus cannot be distinguished.

Then, what is the use of calling SR and LET different theories? SR
and LET are merely interpretations to interpret the mathematics of the
Lorentz transform. Both interpretations manifest relative
simultaneity and thus the twin’s paradox. SR and LET are of the same
theory but different interpretations to the faulty Lorentz transform.
Both SR and LET are just absurd. <shrug>
