Thanks for that Tom Van Flandern article Terry. That was very
clear. I shall have some comments to make later but I would
just like to make one point now. I think Flandern lets Albert
off far too lightly when he merely writes,
========================================
"In the original SR there was only one
type of coordinate system, the objects
in the experiment, and the "at rest"
reference frame was any of those objects.
=========================================
The fact is that this changed the original theory of relativity
completely. I'm sure that people on the periphery of physics,
as I was, are still trying to understand the original theory
which will do their heads in cos, frankly its a lot of */&^%$£*/.
There should have been the type of recall like they have with
motor cars when they prove defective and dangerous. Sometimes
one needs a good book burning, eh! Error has no rights.
