Special relativity deals with perceived time from the observers perspective, which is why it fails to explain clock slowing with GPS. When a clock is zooming around on a satellite the clock speed isn't just apparently different, it really is different. When that clock comes back down to rest at Earth the clock is no longer synchronized with that which was at rest on Earth.
Lorentz's time dilation calls for that type of effect, while special relativity does not (despite conjuring up a Lorentz equation in its paper, the meaning of it is different).
The problem with Lorentz's time dilation is it was an ad hoc fix to account for the Michealson Morely experiment, unlike Special Relativity which was supposed to be arrived at from "first principles" and thus seemed to be more comprehensive. But I'm yet to see a relativist properly account for the real observed asymmetric behavior. There are excuses but they usually start invoking acceleration, even though the entire equation is with respect to v, clearly.
Regarding the light cone, that seems to be something in General Relativity and I haven't read into that at the same level of detail (or debated it in detail). I was focusing on Special Relativity in my comment. Special Relativity is based on the idea that all motion is relative and there are no preferred frames. So we can only talk about the relative velocity of one frame to another rather than relative to something's own light cone (however they are defining that concept).
The motion of a satellite in space (GPS for instance) is relative to the Earth, not the satellite's own "light cone". I have never seen that language among physicists talking about special relativity.
The GPS calculations are relative to the Earth, treating the Earth as the "rest" frame.
Relativity being a conceptual mess of nonsense can't be denied. However many of the alleged confirmations can be denied.
As I mentioned, the fact SR only gets clock slowing half right (an asymmetrical effect between frames) shows SR is wrong. It uses the Lorentz transformation, but Lorentz expected an asymmetric effect, while relativity expects there is no preferred frame, therefore one frame would not be effected more than the other. There is no way for one frame to "know" it is moving faster than the other to slow its clocks down. GPS thus only uses Lorentz's equations regarding velocity.
Many of the GR confirmations are dubious. Gravitational waves are silly. They measure vibrations through the Earth and assume those must be gravitational waves and then assume what caused them. Pseudo-science at best.
The alleged bending of space (light) around the sun can be accounted for with diffraction.
Black holes are based on fanciful mathematics that divide by zero. The alleged image of a black hole took so much processing the picture itself is doubtful, but even if true all it shows is they found a ring of light.
I'm aware of the (few) true confirmed predictions of relativity. SR gets speed based clock slowing half right (the half wrong shows the theory is wrong). GR gets clock slowing based on distance from Earth right, but fails to properly explain gravity near earth.
Conceptually and physically it is a complete mess. Saying something naturally falls (faster and faster) due to "curved space time" is the height of "trusting the science". Curved space time is an undefined and unknown dark energy or material. It magically acts on objects without applying any force. It both is and isn't. That's nonsense of course, and that nonsense is exposed by explanations like this one.
To correct Michio:
-
Quantum Theory is not "based" on the electron being in two places at once. That is a rather useless concept that is part of Quantum Theory.
-
Quantum Theory is based on the concept of quantized energy states of particles, namely the electron. That's the actually useful part of the theory.
-
The leap of logic from wave properties of electrons to an alternative universe is staggeringly ridiculous.
-
"If we quantize the universe". Who said you get to do that? These quantum oddities are strange because that isn't how the macro universe works, only the subatomic.
5,6,7) I can't even keep up with all the bs
I have to wonder is this nonsense all by design by TPTB to keep us in the dark? Or, on the other hand, is this confusion of our greatest minds a judgement from God? I lean towards the latter explanation.
Incorrect. But you are in favor of left wing economics if you reject capitalism.
Wow this is a real barn burner
So you're also a leftist retard, at least economically. Get saved degen
Yeah you're not wrong, I noticed too. It's such an awkward reality. Being a cuck seems to be popular now.
It's hard not to hate Alex Jones when you see him for what he is. It boggles my mind that dumb dumbs think he legit.
My goodness that's brutal. Yikes. Yeah it did seem like he was expressing some feelings for her on that bed, reading between the lines.
Popular youtuber Physics Girl is still dying from vaccine induced auto-immune disease (and "long covid" of course).
Her friend gives a personal account of their interaction. And of course he mentions Patreon because even though he and all her Youtube friends are wealthy they need more money from strangers. Heaven forbid they pitch in together to take care of their own friend. This guy has 11 million subs on Youtube meaning he is most certainly a millionaire.
Whatever keeps your ego going man. "My race is better than yours so there!".
Any race of person could be empathetic or empathic.
You racists are your own kind of retarded. It's just another form of idolatry. Like leftists worshiping blacks, you worship yourselves. Actually you guys both worship yourselves in different ways so it is all a form of satanism.
Are you even trying to make sense. Why not just concede the argument instead of this illogical gish-galloping?
Jesus told others to depart as I told you, yet you did not.
That wasn't the verse where he told anyone to depart. At least not the one you cited.
We all see how far from Jesus you really are, one who proclaims to show others the way.
That's exactly what Jesus did, he showed others the way. And I'm framing the world in terms of the scripture which Jesus stands for and supports. That scripture is not humanistic and it demands moral certainty. What is with you guys always trying to co-opt Jesus?
lol what? Couldn't you just explain your point if you were right about the plank in my own eye? You're simply not making a clear and logical argument, rather you were just being defensive.
As I said I'm just shooting straight and telling it like it is. Left wingers have always had a problem with the moral certainty of Christianity and like to be updated with new morals from the media / "society" every generation (always leaving room for their chosen sins). It's what led us to the degeneracy we see today.
The rock of Christianity and submission to God is clearly an antidote to this problem and is not the problem itself. So there is just nothing true about your objections.
And then like a leftist you try to cover yourself with the Bible to say people cannot use the Bible as a moral standard and as a lens to view the world. You're trying to use the Bible to undermine the Bible, while inferring that you are the better person for it.
It's absurd man. You need to repent. I'm shooting straight here and telling it like it is as a man who is transformed and born again. As someone who did have a plank in his own eyes and God helped remove it. Only one person is rejecting having the plank removed.
Well where are all the based gentiles willing to step in and buy up land for the good of the people? Oh right those assholes are too busy trying to get the Mars, building 100 million dollar bunkers, or depopulating the world with vaccines.
certainty about it that's the problem
That's a very typical left wing type of thinking (though perhaps you don't consider yourself a left winger). So I don't see how your way of thinking leads to better outcomes.
The world embraced humanism over a Biblical worldview a long ago, and in the 1960s onward they embraced moral relativism with also hypocritically a strange kind of progressive moralism.
So proper moral certainty and Biblical morality isn't the problem and didn't lead here. It was its rejection that led here. And it certainly hasn't been my problem in life but rather what changed my life around.
Judgement comes to all nations. Our aim as humans should be to repent and turn to God so that we are not deserving of the plagues to come. And as you can see they are coming. That strong delusion the Bible talks about will stay in place if these are in fact the end times.
most people are inherently good
Humanism won't cut it either. So much evil is done because people believe they are "inherently good" as they trust in their media and leadership because after all those people are "inherently good" too right? They are inherently fallen and in need of salvation.
There is no true enlightenment without repentance and the holy spirit.
Seems likely, except I know I'm human. You could be the only bot for all I know.
