Bravo Smolin! Although your sycophants' comment above is extremely dangerous, you still did give an answer: Einstein's relativity principle is OK and Einstein's special relativity is OK. But then your sycophants' comment implies there could be no Lorentz violations while all criminal Einsteinans, yourself included, are fiercely predicting Lorentz violations nowadays!?! Your sycophants Magueijo and Moffat are quite straightforward Smolin Smolin: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0705/0705.4507v1.pdf Joao Magueijo and John W. Moffat: "The question is then: If Lorentz invariance is broken, what happens to the speed of light? Given that Lorentz invariance follows from two postulates -- (1) relativity of observers in inertial frames of reference and (2) constancy of the speed of light--it is clear that either or both of those principles must be violated." That is, either Einstein's 1905 light postulate is false or there could be no Lorentz violations. Could you get out of this predicament Smolin Smolin? Pentcho Valev pvalev@yahoo.com
