I suspect that compression duznt exist. I suspect that compression has never been proven/tested. Duzz anyone know of a convincing experiment? |

--- Quote from: aetherist ---Silly Michelson... ...the standard (false)(silly)(Einsteinian Mafia gatekeeper's)... Purcell's big lie Purcell uses that there silly lie some kind of (silly) time dilation effect Einsteinists are stupid but cunning the oldendays klumzy klunky air-mode MMXs --- End quote --- This is straight out of Trump's playbook - using political assassination to remove competing theories. |

The technical term for this logical fallacy is "ad hominem" argument. |

Duzz anyone know of a convincing experiment? --- End quote --- Okay, then you've just thrown Maxwell's equations over board as well. :-// The formula for the electric field of a moving charge was first published by Heaviside in 1888 (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page%3AElectromagnetic_effects_of_a_moving_charge.djvu/6). It is stated there without proof but you can plug it into Maxwell's equations to see that it is correct. Or you can derive it directly by calculating the retarded potentials and then differentiating them, without ever using a Lorentz transform. It is not particularly difficult but very tedious, so you rarely find it in textbooks. If you want to see all the gory details, you can try to do it yourself (enjoy!) or borrow the old Mason/Weaver book (§57-59) from archive.org (https://archive.org/details/electromagneticf0035maso/mode/2up). |

Love textbooks like these. |
