Thanks Paul In the event that some people might be wondering why I'm so anal about getting my physics right, refer to my published paper, Quantum Semiotics: http://journals.sfu.ca/jnonlocality/index.php/jnonlocality/article/view/64 We do need to get our assumptions right, and how our experience

Paul, Kashyap, Siegried, thanks for your valuable inputs. For other list members that might be interested… I posted the following question in another forum and received further good answers in the affirmative: >”Are special relativity predictions consistent with experimental results at >near-c

Paul and Kashyap, further to the distinction between special relativity and general relativity to which both of you draw attention… If general relativity was built on the assumptions of special relativity as a given, it follows that a problem with general relativity suggests that the assumptions
