"The Aether and Charges of Charlatanism"
    There have been a significant number of newsposts from individuals who
have equated the suggestion that to assert the existence of the Aether is a
form of charlatanism. These assertions apparently come from the same

Einstein interpretation of gravitational redshift is misleading

ON THE INTERPRETATION OF THE REDSHIFT IN A STATIC GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

I was looking at the synopsis of one of the subjects I have enrolled in:
Review of operators and their role in quantum mechanics, different
representations, Dirac notations and linear vector space, matrix approach to
quantum mechanics, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, unitary ...

Today you are supposed to do the written examination
in SR physics course 2006.
This is your first question.
Consider the thought experiment at

In Einstein's paper On The Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies he states
that pendulum clocks don't behave the same way as other clocks.
I don't understand why physicists believe all clocks except pendulum
clocks share the same properties in terms of running at different

The following paper derives classical electrodynamics from first
principles and, amongst other things, predicts the presence of modified
Newtonian dynamics assuming only that the physical vacuum is a
relativistic continuum in motion:

"Another Rebuff to General Relativity By Cosmological Observations"
    Cosmological observations have recently indicated that the "expansion"
of the universe to be faster at extreme distances than it is over most of
its observable volume. There have been attempts to reconcile ...

Check it out - heady stuff

I have proved, that space-time and time dilation are incorrect. I am still
waiting for the first matter-of-fact objection against it.

I just found out about this kook, who aparently managed to publish in
General Relativity and Gravity, some OWLS experiment:

The crackpot community holds this guy in some great esteem, I haven't

A Flaw of General Relativity, a New Metric and Cosmological Implications
http://zanket.home.att.net/
Abstract: General relativity is shown to be inconsistent. A new metric for
Schwarzschild geometry is derived and shown to be confirmed by all

There are a lot of people on this NG that don't know their back end
from a hole in the ground.
Then there are others whose thinking process is like a tossed salad.
They come up with stupid statements, assumptions, and cannot back them

The question is:
Hawking radiation theorizes that black holes do not, in fact,
absorb all radiation absolutely; they give off some return radiation.
How does this radiation  escape?

Work = Force X Distance. So obviously it takes more force to drive
faster in a car, and the same distance is traveled regardless of how
fast you are going. So if we reduce the speed limits we will save money
and gas!!!!

Is a detector, as part of a QM system, equivilent to an Observer in GR ?
