You've not understood a single word I've said, have you?

The other idea is that lightspeed is vastly greater in regions of lower gravity. With us near the center of the universe, the gravity environment tends to increase as light approaches us, thus it is always slowing down.

:banned: :chuckle: I share your concerns. I think that the solution to the distant starlight problem might lie in the universe being stretched out after light was created. However, that theory, too, has problems.

If a state had done nothing, it would likely be much better off than this planet.

The vaccines probably helped extend this pandemic.

Acceleration requires a force that either simulates gravity, or is gravity. The act of throwing the rock in the air changes the rock's* gravitational environment. So you can say that its motion affects it, but that is just another way of saying that gravity's effect on it has changed. When it...

Einstein made no such consideration, nor was it necessary, needed or indeed scientific. Neither did Newton exclude it. You do not know what science is and neither have you appreciated the criticism you face: Einstein’s gravity will never be proven wrong by a theory. It will be proven wrong by...

By what? Magic?

Acceleration. Because it changes the gravity. Yep. It's all gravity. Acceleration just simulates — or actually is — additional gravity.

Opposite opposite. Your link, like you, demands that I accept the ridiculous notion that gravity warps time, because... Einstein. My link actually presents the fundamentals and explains concepts. Except that equations for pi can be correct. Do you know any? Einstein's equation can't be...

The assertion was that clocks are affected by gravity. You're allowed to disagree with this, but you aren't providing any reasons for me to change my mind by asserting the pre-eminence of your idea. Wrong. It all works because that mathematical model gives workable results. Getting useful...

But you won't explain. I don't know what that means. Houses are affected by gravity. Clocks are affected by gravity. To date, yes. Wrong. The math can always give a useful answer. That is why GPS can give accurate time, even though proponents of weird notions such as warping timespace use...

:yawn: That's because clocks are affected by gravity. And yet they can be improved upon. You can ride a horse to work every day. You'll get there. But if you refuse to acknowledge that there might be something better than a horse, you'll never invent the train. You're talking observation...

So what? So what? Wait. Disprove him on what issue? If you had provided a rational reason for me to stop believing what I believe, I might have responded with something other than "so what." When you appeal to popularity or authority, I'm perfectly justified in simply ignoring you. I...

Sounds overly pedantic to me.

So what? So what? The units of measurement are incidental to the debate. Pick a unit and stick with it, and we'll be fine. It looks like you, too, have no idea what is being discussed, or what Einstein believed. No. this thread is to point out the absurdity of believing that speed or...

The Taliban is "building back better."

How? If I pause a video, does it cease to exist?

You want the construct you favor to be relative? Fine. The construct I adhere to is not relative. I don't think you have quite grasped the crux of the debate.

Everything is relative. Even sex. The more sex, the more relatives.
