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

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

Previous posts have focused on the relationship between observations of visual images that could be seen by two relatively moving observers in order to check the veracity of claims…Read more

The object of science is to design experiments or use observations of natural phenomena in a sincere attempt to refute conjectures – not to confirm them, as eloquently delineated…Read more

Subsequent to Einstein’s presentation of his theory over a century ago, a certain amount of dogma has accreted to it including a strange and quite inappropriate redefinition of observation…Read more

Despite apparent differences between observations made by observers in relative motion, when in coincidence any and every observer is witness to the same events independent of their relative velocities…Read more

In scientific terms a transaction involves the indivisible exchange of energy between two entities, of which we need to be more precise.  During this exchange there can be no…Read more

There are days or conversations, I don’t know which or whether it’s one or both, when we refuse to engage. We walk down aisles whether in actuality as in…Read more
