On the subject of relativity and lightspeed, I believe all that SR actually shows is that there is a maximum speed limit in the universe, commonly assumed to be the speed of light. I believe all the effects of SR (time dilation, length contraction, mass dilation) are relative to this speed limit, and these effects are regularly shown to occur in particle accelerators. And when they occur in, say, the LHC, they occur in exactly the manner that would be expected if the speed limit is indeed lightspeed. So your theory needs to explain how this happens, or appears to happen, when the speed limit is in fact something like 1.57c (or perhaps higher).
So, my third question of the day - I hope you will answer them all in some detail - why does time slow down asymptotically, mass increase, etc, for particles as they approach c, rather than 1.57c or whatever the top speed is in the (as it were) Troniverse? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
