Quote - Realtivity is noy used, nobody designs a cathode ray tube using Relativity and the cathode ray tube was, invented, designed and used well before Relativity was accepted by all the world and this happened only after WWII.

Do you ever actually tell the truth? Do you enjoy for reasons that I cannot fathom being so wrong all the time? It would be fine to be wrong, except you're so persistent and annoying about it, shoving your weird beliefs into every conversation, and throwing around little factoids as if they were not things you just made up.

Relativity was not accepted until after World War II? Seriously - that's what you think?

Did you forget the little bit about the atomic bomb being the result of relativity theory - the bomb that ended WW II?

Man - I just can't believe how far you stick your neck out and you still strut around here like you have any credibility whatosever.

Quote - Eventually, around 1911 most mathematicians and theoretical physicists accepted the results of special relativity. For example, already Planck (1909) compared the implications of the modern relativity principle — especially Einstein's relativity of time — with the revolution by the Copernican system. As a result, the fundamental difference between the dynamic approach of Lorentz and the kinematic one of Einstein was pointed out, and the term "Lorentz-Einstein-Theory" wasn't used anymore. Only a few theoretical physicists like Lorentz, Poincaré, Abraham or Langevin, still believed in the existence of an aether in any form.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
