I’m just goofing around. The visualizations are all funny. If I’m perpendicular to the axis of motion, I appear to get faster and thinner at the same time.

I think that’s right. Length contracts, too. But I always mix up which observer observes the changes… :lol: So as you get fatter you get shorter? Lmao. I don’t think you get fatter — just more mass. And shorter only if you are lying down with your head or feet pointed in the direction of movement. 😂😂

Yeah. You really have to get to a significant percentage of the speed of light to have a significant effect. Unless you're coordinating satellites for a GPS system. :D But doesn't mass increase the closer you get to speed of light? Imagine a human going close to the speed of light gaining mass. ;) ...

Maybe we’ll make more progress next time. I appreciate the fact that you have a particular world view and that you would consider it to be ‘progress’ to have me accept that your particular version of reality is correct. Regards, MG This is exactly why people judge you as disingenuous. By "progress"...

What is the field and how does it interact with the light?

Magnetic field.

So, could we test that by putting powerful magnets next to a beam of light?

I found a calculator. The relativistic time dilation for traveling for 90 years at 500 mph is .00000000254 years Wow. I figured there was a way to calculate it but I didn't think it would be that miniscule. Even if we're talking about air line pilots or flight attendants that spend a third of their...

I propose a thought experiment...

What if it isn't gravity that bends light but rather the fields that are coming from objects in space?

What is the field and how does it interact with the light?

Let's come about it from a slightly different angle. Your brain is capable of imagining all kinds of things. It can imagine things that are inconsistent with your constructed reality. For example, it can imagine what would happen if gravity simply stopped working. You can read a fictional story or ...

Long responses are, in my opinion, nothing to apologize for. The more you describe your reality, the easier it is for me to understand it. I’ll respond fully tomorrow. But what gives me the biggest insight into your thinking is the first sentence of your response. Why can’t you see it any other way...

Fraudulent voting happens in small amounts, regardless of the voting system chosen. How do you know what percentage of the votes are fraudulent? So it's illegal to question whether the vote is accurate but it's not illegal for a noncitizen to vote if he feels in his heart that he should be allowed ...
