Dear PD:  It takes two to communicate.  But you haven't been holding
up your end.  I shouldn't expect more from one with the fatal
'Einstein's disease'.  Einstein flaunted his theories as absolutes.

I'll ask you to cite a reference where he flaunted his theories as
absolutes. He did the same as any physicist does. He posed them as
theories, open to experimental test.

Michelson-Morley was a valid "test" of Einstein's theories.

The Michelson-Morley experiment was performed 22 years before
Einstein's paper was published. It hardly stands as the definitive
test of Einstein's theories. I don't know where you ever got the
impression that it was. If you were aware of some of the experimental
predictions put forward by Einstein's papers, and a little more of the
experimental tests done *after* his paper was published, you might
feel a tad foolish about your focus on the M-M experiment.

Dear PD:  If not, then tell me why the Lorentz transformation--invented
to "explain" the nil result of Michelson-Morley--was so much a part of
both SR and GR?

Your understanding of the history of the development of SR and GR is
abysmal. Reproducing the Lorentz transformation was a natural outcome
of far more fundamental considerations that are the basis of SR. The
Lorentz transformation was not a starting point for SR, it was a by-
product of it.

 Without M-M, there would be no SR and GR.

As I said, your understanding of the motivation and the history of SR
and GR is abysmal. The development of SR in no way depended on the M-M
experiment.

 So
Einstein surely placed a lot of importance on that M-M experiment. --
NoEinstein --

No, in fact, he did not. And in fact, the acceptance of SR depended on
*other* experiments that *followed* the publication of the SR paper.

It would help enormously if you would spend just a modicum of effort
to gather and absorb the facts, rather than just making stuff up as
you go along, especially if they are matters of historical record.
You'll look a little less the idiot, and you'll be less likely to make
such frequent mistakes. There a number of excellent books at the
layman's level about the history of SR -- I suggest A Pais's book
"Subtle is the Lord" for starters.



But the
man was incapable of realizing that such experiment, simply, lacked a
CONTROL.  Einstein's definition of a "theory":  If Albert says it is
so, it is so!

I've asked you for references about other claims you make about
Einstein's positions or motives. You seem to be unable to produce.

Find yourself another hey boy.

OK, so you can't produce, then?

Any moron who does that must be brash, don't you think?  But I won't
go on any of your wild goose chases in that regard; you love him, so
you defend.

Nonsense. There's no defense required against slander.

The TRUTH is the best defense--protected by Amendment 1.

And there's no reason for me to defend Einstein against your
unsupported slander.

As for those universities:  I said I was within an easy day's drive to
demonstrate my interferometer.  I never said THEY were within a day's
drive to come see it.

And therefore you are within an easy day's drive to them, no?
The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A, no?
The distance from A to Goofball is the same as the distance from
Goofball to A, no?

The white coats are coming to get you, Sam!

Sam? Sam who? Are you hearing voices? Confused? Delusional?
And you are the one suggesting medications?

I hear they have a few
drugs for those, like you, with so many delusions.  How far would YOU
be willing to drive to learn the truth?

And how far are you willing to drive to demonstrate the truth?

PD

And how far would you be
willing to back step, when you do? -- NoEinstein --- Hide quoted text -
