Hi Steven, > OTOH it's my understanding that time dilation has been confirmed. Extremely brief half-life's of certain sub atomic particles that are speeding close to C have been detected to decay within a slowed down time period reference from our perspective. At least, that's my understanding.
Time dilation, as I have stated earlier, was quantified by Lorentz based upon the MMX. It doesn't surprise me then, that the effect has been observed in decaying muons. The discussion is about whether the dimension of mass is equal or equivalent to the unit of energy and whether this equivalence explains the physical world. Dave
