Sorry, but this is a very bad analogy.
When the Special Theory of Relativity was published, the reaction from the world's physicists was NOT to suggest it was stupid. Rather, it was recognised for what it was: a viable theory that explained experimental results that did not fit with Newtonian mechanics - such as that the measured speed of light was the same regardless of the relative motions of source and observer. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
