KW doesn't care whether the theory matches experiment. KW has a different view of science: - If a mediocre engineer doesn't understand it, it must be wrong. - If you can discredit one of the original proponents with name- calling, it must be wrong. - If you claim that its results are "nothing more than" results found by others, then it must be wrong. - If you claim that the mathematics "obviously" has properties that are in conflict with its predictions, then it must be wrong.

What if the high speed traveling twin continues in a straight line for a trillion years, and returns to the same spot via the curvature of space (assuming the universe is closed), without turning around, hence no acceleration - what does the twin paradox predict then? -- Rich ===================================== Err... the twins are a trillion years old, perhaps?
