No data, no calculation, proof by "Jan says so".
Very convincing, noise generator.
Oh well, at least that's over.

| In 1971 the Hafele-Keating experiment was conducted. It is a well-known
| and well documented experiment with two planes, carrying two atomic
| clocks. One clock flew in western direction around the earth, and one
| flew in eastern direction around the earth. The purpose was to prove
| "time delation" as predicted by Einstein's theories of Relativity.
|
| The results of the experiments were presented as a big success, proving
| the theory of Special Relativity. The atomic clocks onboard the planes
| did walk at a different rate than a stationary atomic clock that was
| used for reference.
|
| However, the results did not PROVE Einsteins Special Relativity but
| DISPROVED it. One clock walked indeed slower than the reference clock,
| but the other clock walked FASTER than the reference clock. This
| phenomenon was explained by noting that one of the clocks flew counter
| to the rotation of earth, and so was moving even slower than the
| reference clock.
|
| Hm... peculiar! I thought that central to SR was the fact that each
| inertial frame is equivalent, and there is no "zero" inertial frame AKA
| "aether". However, the Hafele-Keating experiment showed that the faster
| one moves with regard to an inertial frame against which also earth
| moves (through its rotation), the slower your clock goes.
|
| So there is a "zero" inertial frame (aether), and experiments conducted
| in this "zero" frame have results that differ from experiments
| conducted in inertial frames that move with regard to the "zero" frame.
| The main difference is that in the zero-frame, clocks walk fastest.
|
| The experiment showed that there IS NO RELATIVITY. There might be time
| delation, but it is a phenomenon that is based on movement with regard
| to an ABSOLUTE zero-frame.
|
| I have recently presented four proofs against Relativity on this forum.
| A summary of the status of the various discussions.
|
| #1 (communication faster than light). The possibility of communication
| faster than light is denied. I cannot check the claims of certain
| researchers that they have conducted experiments with information
| transmission faster than c. What I do know is that if something is not
| practically realizable, it might be CONCEIVABLE. Immediate
| communication is theoretically conceivable, and therefore the denial of
| the existence of absolute time is silly.
|
| #2 (stationary and traveling clock experiment). No one has presented a
| calculation or even a reasoning why my conclusions based on this
| experiment are wrong. Someone wants to present a calculation, but first
| I have to prove that I am capable of appreciating the math, by doing
| some exercises. Ridiculous of course. I think I know why the
| calculation is "tricky" and why it is not presented. It is so
| convoluted that it is (in practice) impossible to prove it wrong.
| Calculations of this kind need to be big and complex. It requires major
| effort to present such a calculation. Therefore its presentation is
| delayed with childish conditions. The only real result: objections
| against Relativity are not disproved.
|
| #3 (two clocks in orbit experiment). No one has presented a convincing
| argument why this experiment doesn't work the way I want. It's a simple
| application of the rules of mister Einstein. The outcome is devastating
| for Relativity.
|
| #4 (Hafele-Keating). I am curious what convoluted reasoning will be
| presented to counter the inevitable message from this experiment:
| RELATIVITY DOES NOT EXIST.
|
| I have seen a lot hostile reactions. Calling names, and even the change
| of the title of one of my postings, by someone who has apparently
| moderating privileges on this forum. There is a simple psychological
| explanation for this. Someone who knows for certain that his ideas are
| right does not behave in a hostile manner. Only if you cling to ideas
| for other reasons than love for the truth, you will react hostile if
| your illusions are in danger.
