It was stated earlier that Einstein’s insistence on an archaic notion of the law of transmission of light that was nothing more or less than common sense at the…Read more

Einstein was uncomfortable with notions associated with an inherent uncertainty implied by the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics. Whether we ourselves might ever know the precise locations and/or momenta…Read more
(written twenty years ago) As Einstein vehemently maintained, it is the very nature of light (now most completely described by quantum theories) that is at the heart of the…Read more
To clarify the rather obtuse nature of the spacetime interval, consider that its value to every event one could ever observe is zero. A non-trivial spacetime interval is not…Read more
As we have seen, the measured geometrical relations of observed events for two such relatively moving observers inevitably produce incongruent reports of the same events. Some sort of commensurability…Read more
Surely whatever constructs support a valid formulation of the laws of physics transportable from one observer’s frame of reference to that of others in different dynamical situations must be…Read more
