As regular readers may know, I have been struggling to see the logic of relativity theory. In particular, I have never been able to justify its claim that the speed of light is constant, irrespective of the speed of the observer.
I think I have come a bit closer to how the mathematicians make this work. They let the observer and the light travel in different reference coordinate frames. Which makes it work, but is, uhh… a cop-out!
Well I am studying more. I am not clear on this at all yet. But I am studying – and Brian Dunning, I will continue to dispute the claims of relativity theory for as long as they are illogical to me.
So no – I still do not believe time travel is possible. Neither action at a distance. I find it illogical for you to just accept this because ‘the math works’. PS: I have a post about the relation (or actually non-relation) between mathemnatical model accuracy and truth – I will post it soon.
