Gosh what a surprise. Still, the example above illustrates some of the
difficulties; 1.06*10^-13 mph would be extremely difficult to measure; a
car traveling at that speed will take 664 years to move 1 millimeter.
Were one contemplating two planes moving at 200 mph and 400 mph, the delta
would be 1.06*10^-11 mph; 1 mm would only take 6.64 years at that speed,
but walking would probably be a little faster.

So you are saying 186,000 miles + 93,000 miles does not
equal 279,000 miles then?
I will never hire you to drive my starship..


However, far easier verification methods are possible; the one I happen to
like, for example, involves a "malfunctioning" muon, which is trapped
inside of a storage ring while traveling at very high speed. There was
also an experiment involving pi mesons moving at a substantial fraction of
lightspeed (0.2c), throwing off gamma rays as they decay; the speed of the
gamma rays turns out to also be lightspeed, *relative to the lab*.
Presumably, one can also measure the energy of said gamma rays.

So when a muon travels a 1 ring distance it does nto actually
travel a 1 ring distance?
You have no proof of anything about adding distances with a muon.


Other issues include the design of the LHC, and the stipulation of a
proton beam speed that is close to light when the amount of energy thrown
at the beam is many times the value 1/2 * m_p * c^2 as required by
Newtonian/Galilean theory.

That is totally irrelevant to the discussion.

Since you have no understanding of physics, you are unfit to judge what
is and what is not relevant.



All of these show "rubber rulers", "taffy time", and "magic mass", but if
that's what is required for consistent interpretation of the phenomena, so
be it.

No,
none of them show that adding distances is incorrectly done
with basic math like I am using.
They only show you have ignored what I stated to squeel about
some irrelevant garbage.
