This is the tubegen's equivalent of a friend's brother's mate down the pub as a measure of actualness, right?

It would be surprising if a Prof did make that comment re electrons contracting but the spacings not contracting.
However we know that Einsteinists often disagree in drastic ways (eg the gedanken re whether the string tween spaceships breaks if they accelerate).

Another example. I could ask u whether a glass rod (here on Earth) suffers length contraction when it is hit by a quadrupolar gravitational wave (eg created by the merger of 2 cosmic blackholes). U might i think say yes.
Then i could ask u whether the glass rod resisted that there length contraction, ie whether the glass rod fully contracted or only partly contracted. U might i think say it fully contracts, ie it duznt resist the contraction of the spacetime in which it sits.
If so, if that is your answer, then i could point out to u that u have just denied that the 2 LIGOs can possibly detect quadrupolar gravitational waves, koz LIGO will not work unless the glass rod resists (their glass rod is their main laser).

Anyhow, Einsteinists don’t all agree, even Professors. Prof Reg Cahill (Adelaide)(one of my heroes) duznt believe in STR nor in (most of) GTR.

Part of the purpose of LIGO is to test that very matter and provide some resolution to that issue. From a simplistic pop-science viewpoint, it can be easily interpreted that the entire and only purpose of such a detector is to do some gravity wave star-gazing, and where it is claimed by yourself (repeating the un-founded "research"/random-speculation in some papers) that it is a waste of money: that is the value (quite literally) of proof. There is always a chance that any experiment will not produce the anticipated result and what you may see as "failure" is well within the spectrum of possible outcomes that physicists are more than willing to embrace, but as scientists, they can only embrace that for which they evidence or rational basis... hence why there haven't been any champions of electon theory so far.

I have mentioned my new (elekton) elekticity theory to a few scientists. One said that that kind of theory duznt work koz in some situations the (negatively charged) elektons need to have a (positively charged) partner that is an anti-elekton or somesuch. I avoid the need for an anti-elekton, eg i say that elektons on the negative plate of a capacitor repel surface elektons on the positive plate – anti-electons not needed (ie both plates have elektons but one plate has fewer).

LIGO & Co are a waste of money. However, LIGO & Co will eventually prove that quadrupolar gravitational waves don’t exist. In that sense the failure would be a success. And it would be good if LIGO & Co proved that gravity duz not propagate at c km/s (we know that it propagates at at least 20 billion c)(but i don’t think that LIGO & Co can provide that there proof). Anyhow one out of two aint bad. If LIGO & Co resulted in the death of GTR (& STR) then praps LIGO & Co would be worth the money after all.
