So you're basically saying SR works only as far as the MM experiment is
concerned and nothing else. SR is consequently quite useless...

- If you bring the MM experiment in orbit it won't work
- Many discrepancies in time dilation of incoming probes were observed
- GR not only doesn't explain the Hubble Sphere but doesn't even know
its own cosmological constant
- blah blah blah

See above.

This is quite a pathetic approach to solving problems if you can't even
prove your equations and your own sanity.

Use a magnetorheological damper.

Can somebody tell Eric Gisse time is a component of speed?

Only if you can find an available neuron that will fire long enough to
accept
it, otherwise hysteresis takes over and it reverts to its normal bigot.

You are incredibly naive, Phil! Take a freshman physics class.

Not at all. It works in thousands of applications. If you think that
there are only two -- the MM experiment and experiments with a
significant change in gravitational field -- then you are sadly
unaware.

What makes you say that?

Name one.

This doesn't have anything to do with the principle of relativity,
Phil. We were talking about the principle of relativity.

None of those are measurements of the speed of light in a vacuum,
Phil. What evidence is there that the speed of light in a vacuum is
not c, Phil?

I'm sorry if you were under the impression that physical laws were
proven. Perhaps you need a first year course in the scientific method.
