Well, no, PD, I make judgments based on the fact that scientists are
working the mathematics incorrectly. *I think I would have been able
to convince Einstein that he was working it wrong because he had a
goal in mind. *He was trying to derive a Unified Field Theory. *So if
I had said to Einstein, "Hey, Albert, if you reflect a photon 180
degrees with a mirror, the velocity of the photon changes from +c to -
c relative to a set of coordinates," I think Einstein would have
listened. *With regard to his disciples, I do not think they ever will
because they see themselves as protectors of the theory, which is
reputed to work, therefore, they must defend it at all costs. Their
only goal is to be regarded as being as intelligent as Einstein, not
to be able to understand how light works. *So they will say exactly
what Einstein said, because if it worked for him, it will work for
them. *But the fact remains that the reason why they end up with an
interferometer arm that contracts in length is because they do not
work the mathematics correctly. *The have a close approximation taken
from some complex equations, and that is good enough for them. *All
they have to do is memorize a discipline, and they are the smartest
people on earth in their own minds.
