  • @kvash3154 I think human philosophy must deal with human experience. What cannot be distinguished in human experience (including mystical and religious experience), has no meaning to humans. Until recently, we had no means of deciding what was moving uniformly & what was absolutely at rest. So the difference was meaningless to us. Now, with the delayed arrival of high energy gamma rays, it appears we do have a means of deciding what is at rest. So relativity is breaking down. Peace, DP

  • I'm reading a book from Dr. W. L. Craig about time and God. In it he points out that Einstein's interpretation is a philosophical one, based on verificationism. Hendrik Lorentz was one who first did the math, but had a interpretation that had absolute space and time. It seems that both interpretations us the same math and empirical data, I was wandering if you had some insight or even option on it, and that you might share it? Thanks for your time.

  • True, as long as they are in the same frame of reference. Peace, Dennis
