Hi Jim,
You are treading on Cecil's toes in this dance. Soon we may have to
reveal the Lorentzian transformation.
It was Lorentz that described time dilation (using the speed of light)
in 1887 and formalized in 1899, and it was Poincaré who introduced
this math in 1905, not Einstein.
he "nailed it down" in his equations
is an slur on Maxwell, Lamor, Lorentz, and Poincaré's contributions
that predate Einstein by decades.
But I am not surprised. Lorentzian transformations are alluded to
here in this forum in recent speculations; and they are thoroughly
botched because so few are even vaguely familiar with his work.
Cecil, your habit of hugging the corpses of intellectuals does not
raise your IQ.
