On that point, we are in 100% agreement! This is a major point that Bob Enyart made when he posted his "Summit Clock Experiment". The Sun (and the rest of anything in the sky) stands as an independent third party that gives a bigger picture perspective in regards to the amount of time that has...

I assume that the person who posted it had second thoughts. Yeah, sure. Whatever. How is that relevant? We can speak right here. No one will show up with SUVs and black helicopters. I promise. You've so far given me no reason at all why I would be motivated to do such thing. I very much...

Awesome! I'm so relieved to hear that! I totally had noticed which is why it just flabbergasted me that you'd ever buy into such things as flat earth conspiracies. Truly stunning. You can thank social media logarithms that are intended to trap people into their own echo chambers for that...

There was a post on here a moment ago that was attempting to chastise TOL for banning people who disagree with Open Theism, which does not happen and, over the decades that this site has existed, hasn't ever happened to my knowledge. I went to respond to the post and it had been deleted. I...

No, it slows it down, but not enough to notice at car driving speeds. Do you understand what it was that got me so angry about that? Believing that the Earth is flat is reserved for stupid people, or at least it sure as Hell aught to be! You are very clearly not stupid, which turns it from...

(y) I would agree but there is an effect that forces us to treat certain systems AS IF time does dilate. The reality is that time is just an idea and so it isn't time itself doing the dilating but the practical result is the same. No, it isn't committing any such fallacy. You really should...

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.
