Post by Ross FinlaysonPost by Ross FinlaysonPost by LaurenceClarkCrossenRoss: That's very terse of you! Get what shit out of where? The ether or
time dilation? One must have both or neither. One may want time dilation
for something else but the ether comes with it.
Don't be coy, toy, get that useless shit out of here.
The theory of SR is a computable, successful theory
for some matters of complementary concerns in
electronics and radiation, according to a stack of
what's called "electron phyics", and GR is similarly
a computable, i.e. simplifying, successful theory
with regards to some complementary concerns
of station-keeping and a "severe abstraction" of
a "mechanical reduction", that's what there is to
it, so if you got problems with that, then the issues
are in "electron physics" and "the severe abstraction
of a mechanical reduction".
Then otherwise your fallacious rhetoric is shit.
Do you know why there's other than "electron physics"
and there's a better "severe abstraction of a mechanical
reduction"? Because relativity is just a theory, ....
That "there's an ether", or these days "aether",
is independent "relativity theory".
What that means for "electron physics" and "the current
formalism of a severe abstraction of a mechanical reduction",
has that many, like Einstein, arrive at both an "aether hypothesis",
that space-time is a plain frame, and a "clock hypothesis",
that space-time has a plain main.
Then, there's physics in it.
Or, at least according to what Einstein wrote himself,
besides what people make of it.
