: The basic premise upon which SRT is constructed is
: absurd. Simply stated, the relative velocity of light
: (v') with respect to a frame of reference moving at a
: speed v with respect to the source of a light beam (or
: any electromagnetic signal) is v'=c-v or v'=c+v
: depending on whether the frame of reference is
: traveling in the same or in the opposite direction
: with respect to the beam of light.
: To say that v'=c simply does not make any sense.
: GPS measurements seem to confirm this common sense
: conclusion against SRT's ertion. The Lorenz
: transformations have been used innappropriately and
: lead to all sorts of absurd conclusions such as time
: dilation and contraction and m changes and all of
: that type of nonsense. Herbert Dingle ("Science at
: the Crossroads") went directly to the point in refuting
: the false relativistic conclusions regarding the "twin
: paradox" ( see a complete set of references in
: http://www.btinternet.com/~sapere.aude/ .)
: Einstein's theory has misled scientists for almost one
: humdred years. It is about time things get
: straightened out in this. Mathematics must not be used
: to confuse people but as a tool to find new truths,
: such as Newton's genius taught us more than 3 centuries
: ago. If we don't learn to think straight it is no
: wonder that world misery and injustice will increase.
: It is important that people learn to distinguish truth
: from falsity and not rely on false dogmatisms. In order
: to judge by one's self on this matter it is necessary
: to be impartial and read some of the scores of articles
: by intelligent physicists and mathematicians that have
: demostrated with solid arguments the errors in SRT.
