[Phys-L] Re: Two ways of refuting Einstein

[Joseph Bellina <jbellina@SAINTMARYS.EDU>]

Pardon the flame, but I am very frustrated.  I put that nutnick Valev's
name in my filter system so I wouldn't have to look at the junk, and now
other folks are responding to it as if it is creditable, and I'm getting
it again.
Please ignor him.

thanks

They will not cancel relativity in the domain where it has been confirmed beyond any doubts, just as relativity has not cancel Newtonian mechanics within domains v << c.
