Yes, I would probably have done better by just ignoring it._______________________________________________

Subject: Re: Two ways of refuting Einstein
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

This is what distinguishes science from religion. Einstein himself made
attempts to go beyond his own theory to reach more general description of
all known interactions.

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.
