Take a set S of vectors, define a binary operator *, try to see
whether
S is an algebraic group. If S is not a group, then the binary operator
is

In this one I will consider two clocks: One close to our planet, and
another one so far away from our planet, that our planets gravity
doesn't mean anything at all.
I do just see my clock just close to our planet, and NOT to be in

This is a genuine question.
From the arguments put forward by his supporters here....most of whom are
obviously a few cents short of  a dollar....I would say that he didn't do it
just for the money but really believed he was right.

Hi experts,
My aim is to understand General Relativity Theory, but somebody
advised me to study Special Relativity before that GR attempt. So,
Here I am, stuck on Part II of  Special Theory of Relativity by

George,
It has been of some concern to me that your SPOG theory does not include a

"Is More Than One Quark Needed?"
    Present literature tells us that both neutrons and protons contain
three observable internal particles named "quarks". Observationally, quarks
cannot exist for more than an instant of time outside of a proton or neutron

A repost with some more correct information. (Sorry about the last
one)
I know that: T_low=(1+x*g/c^2)*T_high
-And the highest clock IS running faster than the other one (sorry)

What is the " ACTUAL " length ?
An objects length can be viewed from several different frames of
reference.   Each result is different, yet the object itself has not
changed during being measured by others in their frames of reference.

The FAQ claims that there are no direct tests of length contraction.
I may have found one:

The creativity of Einstein gave us the great idea that the
speed of light, c,  in the vacuum is the same for all inertial
frames, and it is the upper limit for any velocity. He insisted
a lot that there are not absolute speeds. But then, it seems

Is Global Warming Caused By Man?
    There has been an enormous publicity effort in the recent years to get
the public to accept the idea that the release of greenhouse gases, mainly
CO2, has resulted in an inexorable rise in the surface temperature of the

One century of relativistic nonsense, prolonged 8 years along
this 21st century, gives a time dilation of
     108  = 100/sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2).
So, relativists are moving away from the Earth towards neverland,

i just hear from selfestablished relativists
that for you, who still dont understand relativity,
you need first of all to really want to understand
relativity

here we go with tha nominations

I found this today, it looks new (version 2 dated 14 Jan. 2008):

It's interesting how he found it, esp. that to this day there exists
no straightforward derivation of this metric, unlike Schwarzschild.
