Re-post due to data transmission errors
Hello Tom Roberts,
Thanks for the message, Special Relativity is an interesting issue.
As you no doubt know, in ~1667 Roemer found the
1003 second delay in the expected eclipse timing of
Jupiter's moon Io. This delay is still evident in the
cited data from the late 1990's.
http://home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/litespd_vs_sr.htm
These charts were derived from the eclipse event
observation records provided on the web by
Astronomy On-Line.
The data sets used from Astronomy On-Line were checked
against the scattered data points available from the
Galilean Satellite Eclipse Timing Data. The citation for this data is
"Galilean Satellite Eclipse Timing Data by A. Mallama, P. Nelson,
J. Park, D. Collins, and B. Krobusek, 2003,
http://www.amsmeteors.org/mallama/galilean/timings.html
No discrepancies were found between the two data sources.
The accuracy of the 1003 second delay does not enter into
the logic of this issue.
The pivotal question is, Does any delay whatsoever exist.
If there is a measurable delay,... then Special Relativity is impossible.
If there is no delay then Special Relativity is still a theory to be proven.
The delay demonstrates that light manifests a finite speed
(c ) of ~ 300,000 km/sec in relation to Jupiter while it is
traversing a path across the Earth's orbit.
Earth's finite average longitudinal speed in relation to Jupiter
for the trip is ~17.36 km/sec.
My understanding of relative speed is that if two things
have velocities on the same path in the same direction,
in relation to a third object, the relative velocity will be
the algebraic difference between the velocities.
Since the light speed, c, in relation to Jupiter is 299,103 km/s,
and the spacecraft speed ( v ) in relation to Jupiter is
17.361 km/sec,...this results in an average reduced relative
speed of c - v = 299,085.6 km/sec. between the eclipse
event image motion and the spacecraft motion.
If the speed of the train of light and events from
Jupiter was not reduced in relation to the retreating Earth,
succeeding observations of eclipse events would remain
in synchronism with the observations at the near point.! !
How could a station 2.6549 million miles further from Jupiter
observe an eclipse event at the same time that it is observed
at the near point ? ? This could only happen if the speed
of light was infinite.
This delay data causes this line of reasoning which results in :
* If the 1003 second delay exists, Special Relativity does not.
* If Special Relativity is true, there can be no delay.
The intention of the article "Light speed vs Special Relativity"
is to provide enough detail, data and transparency to allow
those with opposing opinions to easily use this same material
from the Earth/Jupiter/Io scenario, in order to demonstrate
with "specificity" to the world and the web the logic of :

Unquote,.....from Einstein's 1912 SR manuscript.
b.. Their reconciliation of the SR postulate with the
opposite conclusions indicated by this data.
c.. The changes necessary in this simple arithmetic

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's

objects relative to inertial reference systems.
Thus, according to SRT, light speed will be measured as c in any chosen
inertial frame; consequently the speed of a light ray relative to objects
that are moving in that frame with velocity v will be determined in that
frame as c-v ("closing speed"). Similarly, the speed of a radio signal
relative to a GPS receiver on the rotating earth surface is determined as
c-v (the speed of light is *not* c relative to the receiver, despite the
confusing jargon of calling a reference frame "an observer"!). And as
extreme example: also according to SRT, a very fast electron can be nearly
as fast as a light ray.
I hope this helped; although I didn't look into it, likely it's the cause of
the below problems.

Hello Harald and Group,
The single goal of the paper
" Light Speed versus Special Relativity" is to show that
the Roemer light speed delay refutes the main tenant of
Einstein's 1912 manuscript for Special Relativity:
Quote "There exists a coordinate system with respect
to which every light ray propagates in vacuum
with the velocity c". Unquote.
My interpretation of Einstein's meaning for this quote
agrees with the interpretation of
the Special Relativity advocates listed in the paper at
http://home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/litespd_vs_sr.htm#SRAdvocates .
This quote from Einstein's manuscript is the only issue
addressed and refuted by the Jupiter, Io, Earth scenario
presented by the charts and article.
None of the other interpretations called SR, SRT and
the multitude of derived attributes to Special Relativity
are addressed by this article.
Harald, Your post suggest that the paper misunderstands
your interpretation or attributes of Special Relativity.
In the clearest manner possible the issue between Roemer's
delay data and Einstein's statement has been presented.
All of the data, charts and logic are available. If any reader
can cut and paste and show an error with specificity, I will
be happy to quickly address the issue.

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses speed
of
objects relative to inertial reference systems

Arguments and issues from other interpretations of SR
are not required to resolve the single goal of this paper.
If other versions of SR have or can be constructed
without Einstein's main quote as above, then that is
an issue for a new thread.
The following quote from the paper addresses concerns
about different reference frames. Quote
When this Earth/Jupiter/Io scenario is analyzed
with the concept of Special Relativity in mind,
it is obvious that the light train leaving Jupiter
does not arrive at a retreating Earth with a constant
speed of c in relation to Earth. However once a light
beam from Jupiter enters the Earth's cloak of
atmosphere and secondary radiation,... its locally
measured speed between two points becomes c in
relation to Earth. This has no influence on the
Doppler frequency changes and the Doppler period
changes which are caused by the relative speed changes
due to Earth's orbital velocity referenced to Jupiter
and the eclipse light train. If our atmosphere exhibited
a light speed radically different then c, Roemer's delay
would still be evident. Unquote

SNIP
Stan, you now confirmed that the problem is due to a misunderstanding of
SRT.
There is no disagreement between statement 1. and statement 2.
If light speed is assumed to be determined/defined to be c in the coordinate
system of quote 1,
then obviously, if it's taken to be c in a coordinate system in which the
earth has a velocity v, then the closing speed can only be c-v if the light
ray and the earth move in the same direction.
3. >However once a light

beam from Jupiter enters the Earth's cloak of

There is no disagreement between point 1. and point 3. either:
In a system in which v_earth=0, obviously the "closing speed" c-v=c;
and indeed this does not influence Doppler, as was already explained in
Einstein's 1905 paper.
Apparently you didn't try to understand what I tried to explain to you
below.
Good luck,
Harald

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses speed
of
objects relative to inertial reference systems.
Thus, according to SRT, light speed will be measured as c in any chosen
inertial frame; consequently the speed of a light ray relative to

objects

that are moving in that frame with velocity v will be determined in that
frame as c-v ("closing speed"). Similarly, the speed of a radio signal
relative to a GPS receiver on the rotating earth surface is determined

as

c-v (the speed of light is *not* c relative to the receiver, despite the
confusing jargon of calling a reference frame "an observer"!). And as
extreme example: also according to SRT, a very fast electron can be

nearly

as fast as a light ray.

I hope this helped; although I didn't look into it, likely it's the

cause

of the below problems.

Hello Harry and Group,
Thanks for the message. Evidently you and I have interesting and differing
interpretations of Einstein's 1905 statement. The quote that is in the paper
is taken from my 1996 copy of the English translation of Einstein's 1912
Manuscript on the Special Theory of Relativity, pg. 56,...by George
Braziller.
Quote "There exists a coordinate system with respect to which every light
ray propagates in vacuum with the velocity c". Unquote.
My interpretation of this statement, and my understanding of the
interpretation quoted by the special relativity advocates listed in the
paper is as follows:
* The vacuum is taken to be the "one vacuum" of the complete and "one
uni-verse". This vacuum is also characterized by terms such as Inertial
space, Side Real space, Star Field space, and Outer space.
* The terms "a coordinate system" is not taken to mean a separate
Inertial frame for each emitting object or observer.
* Now per the statement, as light is emitted from Jupiter it will have
a constant speed of c in relation to the vacuum and all observers,
regardless of the side real motion of Jupiter or
the relative motion of any observers.
This is obviously an extremely counter intuitive concept, and is the only
concept that the paper "Light Speed versus Special Relativity" was designed
to address.
Quoting from Harry's post, full version as given below:

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses
speed of objects relative to inertial reference systems.

There may be a multitude of versions and schools of Special Relativity that
interpret the above Einstein quote in a manner differing from my
interpretation and there may be flavors of SR constructed
that do not depend on the statement at all.
My single purpose is to only address the above version and
show that it conflicts with the current and 1676 data.
Another concept that Roemer's delay refutes is that the speed of light has
an
upper limit in the vacuum regardless of the relative speed of the emitter
and observer. The charts clearly demonstrate that the observed speed of
light is c plus v when the Earth is approaching Jupiter. The data
demonstrates that light does not have an upper limit in the vacuum
of space.
This leaves Einstein's derivation of E = MC squared without
a foundation. E = MC squared was derived with the quoted statement
as a given.
E = MC squared may or may not be true, but you can't
derive a valid proof from a falsified statement.
The term observed speed does not refer to the speed of Jupiter's light
within the observers atmosphere,...it refers to the speed of the light
as it travels through the vacuum of space between the source and
observer and relative to the motion of the observers orbital motion.
Planetary rotation is not a factor, you have to place the
mathematical observer at the north or south pole.

Hello Harald and Group,

The single goal of the paper

the Roemer light speed delay refutes the main tenant of
Einstein's 1912 manuscript for Special Relativity:

1. > Quote "There exists a coordinate system with respect

The following quote from the paper addresses concerns
about different reference frames. Quote

2. > When this Earth/Jupiter/Io scenario is analyzed

with the concept of Special Relativity in mind,
it is obvious that the light train leaving Jupiter
does not arrive at a retreating Earth with a constant
speed of c in relation to Earth.


SNIP

Stan, you now confirmed that the problem is due to a misunderstanding of
SRT.
There is no disagreement between statement 1. and statement 2.
If light speed is assumed to be determined/defined to be c in the
coordinate
system of quote 1,
then obviously, if it's taken to be c in a coordinate system in which the
earth has a velocity v, then the closing speed can only be c-v if the
light
ray and the earth move in the same direction.


3. >However once a light

beam from Jupiter enters the Earth's cloak of
atmosphere and secondary radiation,... its locally
measured speed between two points becomes c in
relation to Earth. This has no influence on the
Doppler frequency changes and the Doppler period
changes which are caused by the relative speed changes
due to Earth's orbital velocity referenced to Jupiter
and the eclipse light train. If our atmosphere exhibited
a light speed radically different then c, Roemer's delay
would still be evident. Unquote


There is no disagreement between point 1. and point 3. either:
In a system in which v_earth=0, obviously the "closing speed" c-v=c;
and indeed this does not influence Doppler, as was already explained in
Einstein's 1905 paper.

Apparently you didn't try to understand what I tried to explain to you
below.

Good luck,
Harald

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses
speed
of
objects relative to inertial reference systems.
Thus, according to SRT, light speed will be measured as c in any chosen
inertial frame; consequently the speed of a light ray relative to

objects

that are moving in that frame with velocity v will be determined in
that
frame as c-v ("closing speed"). Similarly, the speed of a radio signal
relative to a GPS receiver on the rotating earth surface is determined

as

c-v (the speed of light is *not* c relative to the receiver, despite
the
confusing jargon of calling a reference frame "an observer"!). And as
extreme example: also according to SRT, a very fast electron can be

nearly

as fast as a light ray.

I hope this helped; although I didn't look into it, likely it's the

cause

of the below problems.

OK, so you merely try to show that your reading doesn't correspond to the

correspond to what Lorentz and Einstein explained about it.
But what does that have to do with translating an article?

My single purpose is to only address the above version and

Sure, and it is well known to also conclict with GPS data.

closing speed of two objects (or of the earth relative to a light ray) that
approach each other, is c+c= 2c.
However, this is indeed misunderstood or not understood at all by too many

The data

If the data shows that when the earth has a velocity v, that the closing

that would demonstrate what you claim. But I don't think so.

Hello Mr. Harry and Group,
Thanks for the response. It just may be that
we will correct some of the misunderstanding that
plague SR. There seem to be two seperate versions
of SR that are embraced by the SR advocates.
Version A interprets Einstein's constant light speed
statement to mean that all interstellar light travels to
us at the one constant speed c, and this speed is not
dependent on the speed of the source in relation to
Earth.
Version B interprets Einstein's constant light speed
statement to mean that interstellar light traveling to us
has the normal speed c modified depending on the
speed of the source in relation to Earth.
The list of SR advocates that are presented in the paper
http://home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/litespd_vs_sr.htm#SRAdvocates
are advocates of Version A of SR. The paper of this URL also
interprets SR and Einstein's light speed statement as Version A.
A web search for the term [ special relativity ] reveals that there
exist schools and groups of SR advocates that interpret Einstein's
constant speed statement as Version B.
Version A Advocates respond to the posts and the web page
by trying to disprove the data and charts of the
Jupiter/Io demonstration that disprove SR.
Version B Advocates respond by claiming that the Jupiter/Io
demonstration does not conflict with SR and therefore
SR is not disproven.
I returned to the English interpretation of Einstein's 1912 manuscript
to find a passage on page 66 that clearly demonstrates that Version A is
Einstein's intended meaning for the constant light speed
statement.
The passage will be added to the web page and is copied here.
Comments and red ink are welcome.
The Second Version of Special Relativity
When one searches the web for the term [Special Relativity] it is found that
there are groups and schools that embrace Special Relativity,...but
interpret Einstein's statement to mean that the speed of light in free space
travels at c in relation to it's source. If Einstein's constant c statement
is interpreted in this manner,...then there is no reason for the existence
of Special Relativity, and there would be no conflict with the charts of
this paper. The Jupiter/Io data and charts demonstrate that light has a
closing speed for an observer ( c' ) that depends on the relative speed (
v ) between the observer and the source ( c' = c +or- v ). A quote from a
sci.physics.relativity news group discussion is an example of this second
version of special relativity.
This quote is arguing that the Jupiter/Io charts and Roemer's delay do not
dispute Einstein's constant c statement. Quote
SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses speed
of
objects relative to inertial reference systems.
Thus, according to SRT, light speed will be measured as c in any chosen
inertial frame; consequently the speed of a light ray relative to objects
that are moving in that frame with velocity v will be determined in that
frame as c-v ("closing speed"). Unquote
Returning to the English translation of Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on SR we
find a passage on page 66 that disputes the above quote and clarifies
Einstein's meaning concerning the speed of light in the vacuum of space.
Quote:
In case I, the velocity of light would depend on the state of motion of
the light source. Light rays of most diverse propagation velocities would be
present at one and the same location at the same time. The physical
properties of light would not be determined, then, by the frequency alone,
since the wavelength and the frequency would be independent of each other;
the light originating from stars that are moving relative to us would have
to be physically distinguishable from the light originating from light
sources at rest. Experience has yielded nothing of the sort. The most
convincing argument against this point of view, which has been advocated by
Ritz, has been put forward by the Dutch astronomer Pexider. The individual
stars of stellar systems (double stars) must have sent us light of different
velocities during different epochs of their orbits. Thus, the time of
propagation of the light from double stars to us would be different for
different epochs. The temporal sequence of the epochs as traced by us with
the help of the Doppler principle would be different from that in reality; a
simple calculation shows that, indeed, if the underlying hypothesis were
borne out by the facts, the indicated influence would have to so
considerable that it would have been absolutely impossible for the
astronomers to miss it. The untenability of this conception can surely be
viewed as being definitively proved. Unquote
The passage of the above quote is essentially stating that the speed of all
starlight through the interstellar space travels at the same speed, c,
towards us, regardless of the speed of the star in relation to earth. This
is clearly refuted by the Jupiter/Io light speed data and charts presented
with this paper.
Advocates of Special Relativity that believe that interstellar light speed
is dependent on the speed of the source (The Second Version of SR) , should
not assume that they have an argument with this paper. The clear single
intent of this paper and data is to refute the version of Einstein's
statement claiming that interstellar light is independent of the source
velocity, and independent of the observers velocity.
The Special Relativity advocates listed above, Special Relativity Advocates,
and readers who may believe that the SR concept is a "law" instead of just a
"theory",... need to closely review the following quote from one of
Einstein's 1949 letters to his friend Maurice Solovine.
Quote: Now one may think that I am looking back on my life's work with
serene satisfaction. Viewed more closely however, it is quite different.
There is not a single concept of which I am certain that it will stand the
test of time. I am not sure that the concepts are on the right track at all.
Unquote
Various English translations of this above quote can be found on the
internet. Einstein was responding to Maurice Solovine's letter of
congratulations on his 70th birthday.
The use of the universally recognized term "Inertial Space" demonstrates
that we already accept the fact that the medium which supports inertial
force is present, regardless of an object's speed or direction in relation
to sidereal space and Newton's inertial space. The medium supporting inertia
is the same medium supporting the isotropic characteristics of light
relative to its source. In this model of physical systems, this medium is
called Prime Force background radiation. A review of this web site's section
on ...Inertia,... may lead to a better understanding of how this model
demonstrates the unity of matter and Prime Force radiation (Pf),... and how
it allows light to exhibit a constant speed in relation to each of its
individual sources. ***
The above additions will be added to the web page after reviews.

SR states flatly that the speed of light will be "constant in vacuo,"
meaning that it will be constant in a vacuum for all possible observers
regardless of their own velocities -- whether 'ground velocity' (as on
Earth) or 'relative velocity' (as in space). Vacuum, void, exhaustion,
emptiness or nothingness (to which I would add 'everythingness' as being a
synonym for nothingness) is the required presumed universal common to all.
What would you think is the range of velocity? 0-186,200 mps (rounded
off)? 0-300,000 kps (rounded off)? First of all you would have to fix or
nail down "0" regarding the entire Universe before you could fix -- nail
down -- 186,200 mps or 300,000 kps regarding the entire Universe. This only
means that what we fix as "0" on Earth won't be "0" everywhere else in the
entirety of the Universe. Rather than chase the infinite possibilities of
"0" it can be simply designated as everythingness and/or nothingness,
vacuum, void, exhaustion, emptiness. Thus the speed of light will always be
"constant in vacuo."
There are more facets, there is a much greater dimensionality, to light
than the strict constant in a vacuum of speed though. Differentiations, the
"infinite possibilities," should be realized in the facets of
"wavelength"....and "frequency"....and "quantum mechanics."

What would you think is the range of velocity? 0-186,200 mps (rounded
off)? 0-300,000 kps (rounded off)? First of all you would have to fix or
nail down "0" regarding the entire Universe before you could fix -- nail
down -- 186,200 mps or 300,000 kps regarding the entire Universe. This only
means that what we fix as "0" on Earth won't be "0" everywhere else in the
entirety of the Universe. Rather than chase the infinite possibilities of
"0" it can be simply designated as everythingness and/or nothingness,
vacuum, void, exhaustion, emptiness. Thus the speed of light will always be
"constant in vacuo."

There are more facets, there is a much greater dimensionality, to light
than the strict constant in a vacuum of speed though. Differentiations, the
"infinite possibilities," should be realized in the facets of
"wavelength"....and "frequency"....and "quantum mechanics."

Hello Mr. Harry and Group,

Thanks for the response. It just may be that
we will correct some of the misunderstanding that
plague SR. There seem to be two seperate versions
of SR that are embraced by the SR advocates.

Version A interprets Einstein's constant light speed
statement to mean that all interstellar light travels to
us at the one constant speed c, and this speed is not
dependent on the speed of the source in relation to
Earth.

That's the only one I know... and note that c is similarly independent of
the speed of the earth.

Version B interprets Einstein's constant light speed
statement to mean that interstellar light traveling to us
has the normal speed c modified depending on the
speed of the source in relation to Earth.

Never heard of that one, and also not noticed in this thread.

The list of SR advocates that are presented in the paper
http://home.netcom.com/~sbyers11/litespd_vs_sr.htm#SRAdvocates
are advocates of Version A of SR. The paper of this URL also
interprets SR and Einstein's light speed statement as Version A.

A web search for the term [ special relativity ] reveals that there
exist schools and groups of SR advocates that interpret Einstein's
constant speed statement as Version B.

Me thinks that it's more likely that you misinterpret their
interpretation...

Version A Advocates respond to the posts and the web page
by trying to disprove the data and charts of the
Jupiter/Io demonstration that disprove SR.

Version B Advocates respond by claiming that the Jupiter/Io
demonstration does not conflict with SR and therefore
SR is not disproven.

Funny, I claimed *based on Version A* that the Jupiter/Io
demonstration does not conflict with SR and therefore
SR is not disproven...

I returned to the English interpretation of Einstein's 1912 manuscript
to find a passage on page 66 that clearly demonstrates that Version A is
Einstein's intended meaning for the constant light speed
statement.

The passage will be added to the web page and is copied here.
Comments and red ink are welcome.

SNIP non-existent Version B for clarity.

The Jupiter/Io data and charts demonstrate that light has a
closing speed for an observer ( c' ) that depends on the relative speed (
v ) between the observer and the source ( c' = c +or- v ).

Dear Stan, v is *not* the relative speed between the observer and the source
in SRT... Instead it's the relative speed between an object and a chosen
inertial reference system. And of course, the speed of such a reference
system relative to itself is... (what do you think?).

A quote from a
sci.physics.relativity news group discussion is an example of this second
version of special relativity.
This quote is arguing that the Jupiter/Io charts and Roemer's delay do not
dispute Einstein's constant c statement. Quote

SRT does not use relative speed between objects, despite Einstein's
suggestion in his introduction to his 1905 paper. Instead SRT uses speed
of objects relative to inertial reference systems.
Thus, according to SRT, light speed will be measured as c in any chosen
inertial frame; consequently the speed of a light ray relative to

objects

that are moving in that frame with velocity v will be determined in that
frame as c-v ("closing speed"). Unquote

Are you perhaps confused between either observer or source and "intertial
reference system"?
I think you must be, seeing you erroneous thinking that v= [speed between
observer and source] = [speed between object and inertial system].
FYI (again): an inertial system is not generally co-moving with either
source or detector.
v= speed of object relative to ref. frame, and c= speed of light relative to
ref. frame.

Returning to the English translation of Einstein's 1912 Manuscript on SR

we

find a passage on page 66 that disputes the above quote and clarifies
Einstein's meaning concerning the speed of light in the vacuum of space.
Quote:

In case I, the velocity of light would depend on the state of motion of
the light source.

SNIP non-SRT case.

The passage of the above quote is essentially stating that the speed of

all

starlight through the interstellar space travels at the same speed, c,
towards us, regardless of the speed of the star in relation to earth.

Yes.

This
is clearly refuted by the Jupiter/Io light speed data and charts presented
with this paper.

No, why -- what inertial frame was used for the measurements, if any?
SNIP

The Special Relativity advocates listed above, Special Relativity

Advocates,

and readers who may believe that the SR concept is a "law" instead of just

a

"theory",... need to closely review the following quote from one of
Einstein's 1949 letters to his friend Maurice Solovine.

Quote: Now one may think that I am looking back on my life's work with
serene satisfaction. Viewed more closely however, it is quite different.
There is not a single concept of which I am certain that it will stand the
test of time. I am not sure that the concepts are on the right track at

all.

Unquote

Various English translations of this above quote can be found on the
internet. Einstein was responding to Maurice Solovine's letter of
congratulations on his 70th birthday.

The use of the universally recognized term "Inertial Space" demonstrates
that we already accept the fact that the medium which supports inertial
force is present, regardless of an object's speed or direction in relation
to sidereal space and Newton's inertial space. The medium supporting

inertia

is the same medium supporting the isotropic characteristics of light
relative to its source.

?? That sounds like a strange (for me illogical) mix between ballistic
theory and wave theory...

In this model of physical systems, this medium is
called Prime Force background radiation. A review of this web site's

section

on ...Inertia,... may lead to a better understanding of how this model
demonstrates the unity of matter and Prime Force radiation (Pf),... and

how

it allows light to exhibit a constant speed in relation to each of its
individual sources. ***

The above additions will be added to the web page after reviews.

It's pragmatic. We could also define that instead this is so in for example

You think it is fact, do you?

No, the other one: simply practical, purposefully *not* claimed to be
"true". It was Poincare who proposed it, similar to the rule that current in
a wire flows from + to - (for the calculation it doesn't matter that
electrons actually flow from - to + !).
So, now you: is it a LIE or not that current in a wire flows from + to - ?

I think it is a LIE. I think that x'/(c+v) does NOT equal x'/(c-v).
But then, I'm pragmatic. Prove that x'/(c-v) = x'/(c+v) for me,
would you, there's a good chap. Then we can both be as pragmatic

equal the time for light to travel from Jupiter to Earth.

of

Explained to you before: he (or Plank!) used the more hazy phrase "for which
the laws of nature are valid" or something like that (and I'm sure you know
it...).

Or perhaps you can show me where you first got the idea of an
inertial reference frame, some moron may have LIED to you.
Was it Tom Roberts or John Baez, or some other idiot?
You do know what a LIE is, I hope? Are you LYING to sbyers?

Easy: I found the idea more clearly expressed in later papers by Einstein as
well in for example Poincare 1904 -- even in Newton's Principia.
