  • Einstein's Relativity and Flat-Earth Myths

    From Pentcho Valev@21:1/5 to All on Mon Aug 15 04:44:29 2022
    Thibault Damour's time-travel conclusions would make even believers in Einstein's relativity feel uneasy. Immeasurably more idiotic than flat-earth myths, and yet this is standard physics - just one of the numerous metastases of Einstein's 1905 constant-
    speed-of-light malignancy:

    Thibault Damour: "The paradigm of the special relativistic upheaval of the usual concept of time is the twin paradox. Let us emphasize that this striking example of time dilation proves that time travel (towards the future) is possible. As a gedanken
    experiment (if we neglect practicalities such as the technology needed for reaching velocities comparable to the velocity of light, the cost of the fuel and the capacity of the traveller to sustain high accelerations), it shows that a sentient being can
    jump, "within a minute" (of his experienced time) arbitrarily far in the future, say sixty million years ahead, and see, and be part of, what (will) happen then on Earth. This is a clear way of realizing that the future "already exists" (as we can
    experience it "in a minute")." http://www.bourbaphy.fr/damourtemps.pdf

    Einsteinians inform the brainwashed world that the constancy of the speed of light is the result of a "cosmic conspiracy of the highest order":

    "Einstein pulled all of these ideas together in his 1905 theory of special relativity, which postulated that the speed of light was a constant. FOR THIS TO BE TRUE, space and time had to be combined into a single framework that conspired to keep light's
    speed the same for all observers." https://www.livescience.com/space-time.html

    Michelle Thaller: "All of the universe shifts around this constant, the speed of light." https://youtube.com/watch?v=DO7J2YIz8tY

    Brian Greene: "If space and time did not behave this way, the speed of light would not be constant and would depend on the observer's state of motion. But it is constant; space and time do behave this way. Space and time adjust themselves in an exactly
    compensating manner so that observations of light's speed yield the same result, regardless of the observer's velocity." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/special-relativity-nutshell.html

    Neil deGrasse Tyson, Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries, pp. 123-124: "If everyone, everywhere and at all times, is to measure the same speed for the beam from your imaginary spacecraft, a number of things have to happen. First of all, as
    the speed of your spacecraft increases, the length of everything - you, your measuring devices, your spacecraft - shortens in the direction of motion, as seen by everyone else. Furthermore, your own time slows down exactly enough so that when you haul
    out your newly shortened yardstick, you are guaranteed to be duped into measuring the same old constant value for the speed of light. What we have here is a COSMIC CONSPIRACY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER." https://www.amazon.com/Death-Black-Hole-Cosmic-
