Default Re: A revolution in thought

Quote:
Relativists claim that clocks run slower because time dilates.
Again, they do NOT say this. If they DID say this, then the moron you quote would be right: It would be a tautology; i.e., saying clocks run slower because they run slower!

But this idiot has erected a strawman of the scientific position — like Daddy Dumbass insisting scientists say images are carried on “wings of light” when scientists say nothing of the kind.

The fact that clocks (and all physical processes) run slower — i.e., time dilates — is an inevitable consequence of the key postulate of special relativity: that the speed of light is invariant in all inertial frames. So the correct scientific position, unlike the one enunciated by the dipshit you quoted, is: time dilates as an inevitable consequence of the fact that the speed of light is invariant in all inertial frames.

This is easily demonstrated here with a light clock.

I suggest you put down the hooch and rub your sodden snout in the above-linked page pronto! :yup:
