[Phys-L] Re: Assignment for Einsteinians

An accelerator is a confirmation of special relativity where acceleration

wrong; rather, it leads to a destruction of rationality by forcing people
to think in terms of oxymorons like this one.

Hmmm.. a particle accelerator does not accelerate particles?
Or special relativity does not consider accelerated motion?
Or engineers do not consider the constant speed of particles
accelerating inwards in an accelerator during its design phase
using notions provided by SR?

Whose rationality is here at question? :-)


Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
