I suspect that there is someone, somewhere out there, who can argue persuasively for looking at some corners of relativity that have not been sufficiently probed. Such a person is probably not on this list. There is one soul who has bet the farm on relativity being wrong, who has all confidence in his understanding of the matter and who intends to teach us about our ignorance. There are one or two others who have been entertaining some of the thought experiments as an interesting exercise. The universe is in order, for this is a list for discussing the way-out and improbable with an open mind. There's no one to tell these folks that they should hew to the orthodox and put away the fantasies about relativity being wrong. It's a little unsettling, but you just have to get used to a low signal-to-noise ratio and keep an eye out for the interesting gems of insight that are occasionally mentioned. Anyone who would be put off by the current discussion of relativity would be unlikely to be influenced by something more profound that might also be discussed at some point. They would just unsubscribe in disgust, as happens from time to time. Eric
