http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/book.html Chapter 14: "The equivalence principle has a striking consequence concerning the behavior of clocks in a gravitational field. It implies that higher clocks run faster than lower clocks. If you put a watch on top of a tower, and then stand on the ground, you will see the watch on the tower tick faster than an identical watch on your wrist. When you take the watch down and compare it to the one on your wrist, it will show more time elapsed." Two points: 1. The insignificant difference in field strength is irrelevant for the effect predicted by Einsteinians (gravitational time dilation). That is, the two watches can be regarded as placed in EXACTLY THE SAME physical conditions and yet one of them proves slower than the other. Effect without cause. 2. The effect predicted by Einsteinians (gravitational time dilation) implicitly presupposes that the speed of light is CONSTANT in a gravitational field. Yet all clever Einsteinians, even Divine Albert, teach that the speed of light is VARIABLE in a gravitational field. The scientific world is unable to see any contradiction. It should also be noted that the scientific world sees as entirely rational consequences of Einstein's 1905 light postulate according to which the long train is short (if trapped inside a short tunnel), 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"), 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
