They are not testing Albert's notions,they are testing the notions of
the fictional character in H.G. Wells 'Time Machine'.

Question 42
What does the word 'spacetime' mean?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It means that in our universe, 3-dimensional space and time form a
single indivisible new physical object which has 4 dimensions. All
physical laws and phenomena seem to require thinking about space and
time as this blended object. That's what Einstein's relativity theories
were all about.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is not what Albert's theories are about,that is what the
functional narrative of Well's science fiction is all about -
"'Scientific people,' proceeded the Time Traveller, after the
pause required for the proper assimilation of this, 'know very well
that Time is only a kind of Space."

The thing is over Sam,the gang that destroyed destroyed astronomy is
now turning its attensions elsewhere to geology and climatology where
they will destroy those disciplines also.
It means that astronomy can flourish again after the desolations of
empiricism.
It is usually necessary to understand what you are criticising before
you do so. Garbage in, garbage out. Ignorance begats incoherance.
What are you talking about,relativity is a priceless concept for
highlighting Newtonian fraud when it is not just plain funny.
Garbage in and garbage out is an understatement,if you want a formal
treatise of Well's 1898 science fiction novel then Albert's your
man.Maybe he should have read 'Journey To The Center Of The Earth' and
he would have come up with a geological equivalent.
The creationists take the narrative text of Genesis and crank out their
ideas,you use a science fiction narrative and do the same.I think the
situation is just plain funny but that is just me.
Nonsense! More like one hundred years of theory and successful results
that agree with the theory. Whether you like it or not, relativity is
well supported empirically. Either come up with your own theory or
stop criticising physics that you do not understand. End of story.
