Home Is Where The Wind Blows

An immortal gem by Titan Point (19-Dec-2002)

Subjects covered in sci.physics.relativity
Frankly not a lot of relativity theory goes on in here but an awful lot of
cranks claiming one or more of the following:

- relativity is wrong but gives the right answers because of a fluke
- relativity is wrong because Einstein made mistakes
- time does not exist
- time does exist but its got three undetectable dimensions
- time must be absolute because it doesn't make sense to me otherwise.
- the ether exists but is undetectable
- the ether exists but predicts the same results as SR
- SR is wrong (see my carefully drawn ASCII diagram)
- SR is wrong (see my non-mathematical thought experiment)
- SR is wrong because Einstein plagiarized other people who believed in my (crank) theory
- my theory shows SR to be wrong and you can't prove otherwise
- SR is wrong because Einstein was a Jew
- SR is wrong because Einstein was a humanist
- SR is wrong because when I put in arbitrary factors I can't make the math work
- SR and GR are both wrong because I don't understand the math
- SR and GR both predict things that we know intuitively must be wrong
- SR and GR are wrong because they don't include God in the equation.
- SR and GR are wrong because the voices in my head say so.
- SR and GR are wrong because someone gave me a condescending answer on this NG
- SR and GR are wrong because some other crank agreed with me.
- the experiments proving SR and GR are flawed
- the experiments proving SR and GR were done by biased "believers"
- science is a religious cult
- science is a religious cult whose high priests are keeping me awake at night
- I say so and you can't prove otherwise.
- I have already *proved* that SR is false in another thread.
- Relativity leads to a philosophical paradox.
- I have proved that SR is wrong but the Science Establishment is suppressing
  my discovery (see my geocities website)
