>> effect of clock retardation, what is it? Dirk: >I don't know. Dennis: So, to be clear, you believe there is a material cause for relativistic clock retardation, but do not think it is the result of with the pathways through (or geometry of spacetime) or relative velocity as these are not material entities. You just don't know what it is. And you think only an idiot would argue otherwise? Does that about sum it up? What's the catch? Usually, relativity defenders don't admit to such sensible beliefs. >> For the fourth time, if you think there is a physical material cause of >> gravitation, what is it? > >I don't know. Dennis: But you believe only an idiot would argue the geometry of curving space causes acceleration of objects toward mass because, well, geometry is a human invented abstraction, right? |
