REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM is (rather, used to be) a universal logical tool enabling scientists to both detect and reject false premises. Einsteiniana revolutionized scientific logic: in Einstein's world REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM is a glorious path to miraculous truths, truths that only Divine Albert's Divine Theory is able to produce. So Einsteinians sing "Yes we all believe in relativity, relativity, relativity" and "Divine Einstein" and go into convulsions any time they recall that Einstein's 1905 false light postulate implies that the long train is short (if trapped inside a short tunnel), that the 80m long pole is 40m long (if trapped inside a 40m long barn and Einsteinians have forgotten to reopen the doors of the barn "pretty quickly"), that the bug is both dead and alive etc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSRIyDfo_mY&mode=related&search= http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/barn_pole.html "These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the contracted pole shut up in your barn." http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/Hbase/Relativ/bugrivet.html Pentcho Valev pvalev@yahoo.com
