Are you using a random word generator?

The usual nonsense.

Meaningless word salad. The effect of local conditions has nothing to do with differing laws of physics. The laws are the same everywhere, but local conditions must be taken into account when applying them. If something is in a deep gravity well, and something is out in interstellar space, the same laws apply to both, but the environment, i.e. the gravity field, will cause different outcomes.

I would guess that another reason might be vacuum welding.

Start your own thread in speculations.

It's a true crank who says that measurements are not relevant.

We're talking about experimental results. Now you've long implied that actual results have no meaning for you, and you keep bringing up the 'mystical and mysterious'. All that says is that since you don't understand physics, it can't be real.

It doesn't have anything to do with the mind, it has to do with the measurement. If no one ever looks at the result of the measurement, the result of the experiment would still show that the measurement affected it.

What an amazing ability you have to generalize from a specific! I am stating that this statment: is always made, when it is made, by a non-scientist who doesn't know what he's talking about.

So your statement is not true.

Relativity has been experimentally confirmed numerous times and with great accuracy over the last hundred years. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.

Because it works astoundingly well.

What twisting and turning? You're not referencing Farsights speculations, are you?

Do you have any kind of reference for that statement? Because there is good experimental evidence of quarks going as far back as 1968. http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/documents/PUS/dis/SLAC.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_chromodynamics#Experimental_tests

This point is frequently raised, but always by non-scientists who have no idea how scientific research is done or how the scientific community interacts.

This whole thread has absolutely no relationship to physical reality. And that's the only 'absolute' there is.

If your 'theory' doesn't give consistent results, it's useless. In fact, if your theory doesn't give consistent results, it's not a theory.

It came to you in a dream?

Only relative to another frame of reference. In the reference frame of the experiment, there is no time dilation.

Nonsense. You obviously know no scientists, nor how research is done.

But we're not talking about light, we're talking about objects with mass. They will never reach c, and time dilation is only relative to another reference frame, not an absolute.

No. Relative energy does not contribute to gravity. The thing is, it's relative. If I were in a ship moving alongside of you, your relative kinetic energy would be zero. This would lead to a frame dependent gravitational field. It's rest mass which contributes to gravity.

Put in actual, real numbers, instead of a lot of hand waving. Do the calculations. Compare your results to reality. How else would you do it?

That's as typical a cranks response as any I've ever seen.
