I missed it. Please repost where you explained how it qualifies as a fallacy. That is precisely what those videos are explicitly about, Dave! It would be interesting for you to make some attempt to explain how these videos don't resolves those issues by moving the problem back into the realm...

The more I think about the implications here the more it blows my mind how important a concept this might really turn out to be. The aether, in effect, has to be presupposed to exist or else you end up with the convoluted, solipsistic mess that is the modern scientific community where every...

It's more than that it's arbitrary. The issue has to do with the fact that you cannot ever leave your own frame of reference. This is the point the second video was making when it talked about any attempt to measure the aether is inherently circular reasoning.

Once again, you show evidence that you have either not watched the videos or do not understand them. TIME DOES NOT EXIST!!!! No, it flatly is not, Dave. You showing up to say so doesn't count as an argument. It is only that much more evidence that you do not understand what is being talked...

No, we who are "moving" INTO the future by virtue of the fact that we experience one present moment after another and as they PASS by, they become the PAST and is now behind us, not in front. To say otherwise presupposes that the future is already there and that it is moving toward us in the...

They cannot be answered as asked. That's why it feels like you've not watched the videos, or if you have that you do not understand them. The same speed, relative to what? Again, this question cannot be answered as asked! Faster or slower, relative to what?

We're both wrong. It's "Aether".

The second video in the opening post ends with a "to be continued". Do you know whether this video that you've linked to is the next video in the series? Their YouTube channel doesn't make it overtly clear which is intended to be the next in the series.

Alright, so I just finished re-watching the videos in the opening post and I have to say that they are both simply brilliant. The second video in particular might well be the most brilliant video I've ever seen on this topic. Almost nothing that has been said in the last week, including most of...

GPS is just one very relatable example of a system that is effected by relativity. Everything! There's actually more to it than just one transmission of a radio wave, there are several. The satellites communicate both with the ground and with each other via radio waves and the distances they...

Seems like I remember Dr. Brown saying that they did but I can't find it on the online book and so maybe I'm remembering that wrong.

Not sufficiently to prevent it from freezing if it's even sort of close to absolute zero.

This is the conventional understanding of time dilation. The videos are there to present another view. It is 100% entirely and totally about nothing else but the clocks. It isn't about distances. The effect on the clocks are quite real and cannot be ignored if we want certain technologies we...

The point I was making is that the mineral content is irrelevant. If you get water, no mater how impure, anywhere near absolute zero, it's going to freeze to the point that it's harder than granite.

Now it is you who are making a false equivalence. A clock is not time. Time is not a clock. Motion effects clocks, not time. Time is not a thing, it is an idea and cannot be effected my physical forces. Clocks, on the other hand, can be and are. A person's watch will run slower at the equator...

Maybe I need to rewatch the video because what you are describing as an objection sounds to me like the point they were making. The idea is to give an explanation for what we observe without resorting to time being an ontological thing that is somehow changing.

There is experimental proof that they do not do so.

Not to "near absolute zero", though, right?

How so?

I see nothing about it that is irrational. On the contrary, contradictions do not exist in reality and these phenomena have been experimentally observed to happen and very very complex and hyper-expensive scientific instruments have these effects very intentionally engineered into the way they...
