Hey Potter, betcha forgot about changing those protons in the
LHC and the shifted frequency of those cesium clocks in orbit.

Yup... nature is the way she is and relativity is a fruitful
model of how she behaves.

As you know Sammy, there are lots of people who scam folks by pretending to possess powerful knowledge.


Ironic, isn't it Potter, that relativity predicts just the right
values for engineers to make the GPS work accurately and for the
LHC and other particle accelerators work properly.
