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?

Miles per *second*. Of course it depends on what one means by '+'.

Miles per second is just a fraction.

(186,000 miles / 1 second) + (93,000 miles / 1 second)
= 279000 miles / 1 second

How much distance traveled with the one second
279,000 miles.
You have completely forgotten how to add miles I see?


So when a muon travels a 1 ring distance it does nto actually travel a 1
ring distance?

It travels a 1 ring distance in the lab reference frame, but from its own
reference frame the distance is much shorter, yes.

You have no proof of anything about adding distances with a muon.

True. However, the time discrepancy is readily observable. Both the
"rubber ruler" and the "taffy ticker" are impossible in Newtonia, but
relativity predicts both effects.

Actually, Newtonia can explain the "rubber ruler" effect along with
the "taffy ticker". but of course you refuse to think about any such
explanations.


That is totally irrelevant to the discussion.

You wish. The proton beam speed is specified as being lower than c,
despite the massive amount of energy being added thereto that should make
it go at least a hundred times faster than lightspeed.

We have been through this too many times.
Blowing "more wind" at a sailboat does not make it travel faster.
The sailboat only has a certain size sail.

Please, Mr Math man calculate the energy in a 1 mile wide
by 1/4 mile high wind with a length of 10 meters.
How fast should a 1 ton boat move with all that energy hitting it
at 60 mph?
