If you believe that relativity results in paradox,
imagined or otherwise, then you certainly don't
understand the theory. In this case you are trying
to introduce a problem, paradox, which doesn't
exist.

Gerald L. O'Barr comments:
Please do not misunderstand me. SR math is
correct, as a math. It has to be correct, because it
is the same math as can be used in LET. Therefore,
on the math level, there cannot really be any
paradoxes in SR math, as a math!
But everyone knows that there appears everywhere
to be paradoxes in SR! Whole books have been written
on such subjects! The whole reasons why this net
exists is because of this problem. And the problem
is, that SR has no power to explain what really
happens, and why things really are the way they
really are. In fact, in SR, the word 'really' is not
even allowed! Therefore, there are all these
unexplainable results, all these illogical results,
that do occur, and SR cannot provide any
understandable explanations! These really are
problems with this theory, and they really do have to
be faced!
Let us start at just the simple thing as always
measuring light to be c. You have a distant star,
and you measure the velocity of the light from this
star to be c. So you jump in a rocket ship and
accelerate up to 90% c, and measure the velocity of
this same light again. What do you get? Why you
still only get c, even though you are moving toward
this star at almost c. And so you again, at your 90%
c, you accelerate again another 90% c, and measure
the velocity of this same light again. And for the
second time, you again only get the same answer, c.
This is all logically impossible! It has to be in
error, in terms of what is actually happening. You
cannot really change your velocity towards something,
and not really have a change! In SR, this is a
paradox! It is just impossible for it to have
actually happened, yet you measured it as having
happened!
Only in LET do we have a real explanation, an
explanation that at least provides to us an
understanding of what could be happening, so that
such things really could occur! And thus the
imagined paradox disappears! And I stand by these
choices of words, and so would any other thinking
person! SR cannot explain, in such a way that a
reasonable person could understand, the reasons why
light is always measured to be c. All that SR can
do, is to simply say, that is the way it is!
