How Einstein may have got the theory of relativity wrong

In order to discover God's laws, you must go to the source. Many physicists are not qualified.

Ping.

This is not going to help his arguments any. According to this article, the speed of light at the beginning of the universe was 300,092,250 meters per second vice its current speed of 299,792,458 meters per second. In other words, it doesn't vary by the orders of magnitude Setterfield claims.

Science Ping!

An elite subset of the Evolution list.

See list's description in my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail to be added/dropped.

Thanks for ruining my day. I know have that stupid song stuck in my head. It should be mc=$2

Related thread, same topic, different article: Sacred constant might be changing.

Are we supposted to get an accurate critique of Einstein from a paper that doesn't know that the past participle of "get" is "gotten"?

It's a difference between Brit and Yank English.

Einstein's burst of creativity in 1905

He was 25.

Physics is like pro sports that way.

So, was Einstein a poor celebrity or a poor scientist, because he was certainly both.

[mc5cents]

Celebrities make notoriously bad scientists as well.

Does that mean that Al Gore's Earth In The Balance is not good science? Well, maybe now that he has lost some of his celebrity he can write an update with better science.

There was a good study that said after geniuses meet success, they quickly lose some talent. Apparently money and women - or one wife - makes them softheaded and somewhat less dedicated to work. I don't know if Einstein fit the pattern, but I bet maybe he wasn't a true celebrity until after he helped blow the world up with nukes... hence he may have been both genius and celebrity, but not at the same time!
