Who are the true crackpots, those who adopt a scientific attitude, or those brainwhashed SRists who blindly, and sometimes pathologically, espouse the SR tenet? For instance, the physical incoherence of the Lorentz transformation t' = gamma (t - vx/c^2) is obvious when using its equivalent form t' = t/gamma + tau/gamma - tau*gamma, where tau = (x-vt)/v. Indeed, t/gamma and tau/gamma both imply that S' moves relatively to S, whereas tau*gamma implies that S moves relatively to S'. Clearly, the Lorentz time transformation is physically nonsensical because S' cannot logically be at rest and *simultaneously* moving wrt S. But the SR crackpots, like all doctrinarians, despise logic. Marcel Luttgens |
