My Moment of Fame and Shame

My roles in every production I’ve ever been associated with have been quite minor.  And, yeah, I know.  That’s what they all say when the shit hits the fan.…Read more

From Objects to Events to Transactions as a Legitimate Basis of the Physics of Relativity

Whether ‘stars on their belly’ or a prime on ‘the other’ observers’ locations in space and time draws an unnecessary distinction that leads to categorical errors and bad thinking. …Read more

Why Is c Considered a Universal Constant?

Let’s face it, it wasn’t measured independently here and on Andromeda or in any other distant galaxy.  And its value varies widely even here on earth, depending on whether…Read more

Simplifications Required by Epistemology

Her in the US March Madness is upon us.  Not that its onset is anything new.  But we are about to determine who is the best college basketball team…Read more

The Strange Timing and Revocability of the Decision of the Andromedans to Attack Earth

_____________________ (I’ve been looking through my book ‘Aberrations of Relativity’ (C) 2008, where I found this sci fi story that I wrote back then.  The imminence of war, as is…Read more

ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON CLOCK TIME DILATION

If one were to consider all evidence for the supposed time dilation, it would fall into a general category of alterations in rates associated with spontaneous state transitions between…Read more

What Is Time?

It’s an intriguing question, but like so many such questions, we’re not quite sure what an answer should even look like — or sound like. Carlo Rovelli began his…Read more

Relativistic Issues of Light Scattering in a Plasma

The essence of the speed of light being the same for every observer is that the separation of the source of radiation and the observer at the time light…Read more

Transaction Geometry (Part III)

In his initial paper Einstein specifically made the point that relativity was largely required to coordinate the observations made by relatively moving observers to accommodate covariant formulations of universally…Read more

Coherency Domains of Forward Scattering

Electrons throughout regions along the general direction of light propagation contribute to a Huygens-like ‘wavelet’ replication process. 1. Forward Reconstruction of a Wavefront When electromagnetic radiation propagates through a…Read more
