Do you think that the Theory of Relativity is incorrent and that Einstein was in fact wrong? One of the things I find the most unbelievable is the thought that time is being warped. I believe time is an illusion created by man to keep track of things. You can't bend or alter what is not there.

Warped? Can you explain what you're thinking of a bit further?

If a beam of light is emitted on a moving train, and you stand on a still platform and observe it, you would see light move diagonally according to him. So yes, it's all based on one guy's viewpoint.

Einstein was a terrible scientist. His "results", especially with regard to general relativity (not to be confused with special relativity which is easily experimentally verifiable) are based largely on so-called "thought experiments." The main reason people believe in relativity is that it sounds clever, they don't understand it and they assume it must be correct because it was proposed by someone far more intelligent than they.

If I recall correctly, Special Relativity was written to correct the problems with General Relativity.
you're an idiot. einstein's idea of relativity was born because there was experimental data that the current theories couldn't explain. relativity was verified a few months after the paper was published, and countless of times since. even GPS systems have to operate on a relativistic model, else they'd be off my miles (granted, at worst)

EINSTEIN WAS A REVOLUTION, HE WAS MASTER OF THE THOUGHT EXPERIMENT
YES HE RELIED ON OTHERS FOR THE MORE ADVANCED MATHEMATIC IMPLICATIONS OF HIS EARTHSHATTERINGLY NEW CONCEPTS
GRAVITY BEAT HIM, BUT WE'LL CRACK THAT BITCH GRAVITY SOONER OR LATER... TO DATE RECONCILIATION REQUIRES UNVERIFIABLE N-DIMENSIONAL MODELS

If you have a thought experiment, (and, let's be honest, you DO have to be imaginative to create or grasp this stuff), and that notion is then verified experimentally via scientific method, to be even more precise than Newtonian kinematics (itself a great big thought experiment which worked for what everybody needed it to work for), then obviously it was a pretty good thought experiment.
You could say the same thing about quantum theory. If memory serves, the difference is that there's never been an experiment which quantum theory didn't predict accurately within its framework.

QUANTUM MECHANICS IS SO VAGUE IT WILL PREDICT ANYTHING
ALL THEORIES HAVE CERTAIN STIPULATIONS AND ALL VERIFICATION IS PERTURBATIVE TO SOME EXTENT
A THEORY IS JUST A MODEL, THE UNDERLYING REALITY CAN BE VIEWED MANY WAYS
Read up on it @ wikipedia you don't know what you're talking about.

THEY DESERVED IT IN ADVANCE FOR UNLEASHING HENTAI ON THE WORLD
ALSO EINSTEIN WAS AGAINST THE BOMB PER SE, HE JUST REALIZED MATTER IS ENERGY.. HE DID NO DESIGN WORK ON THE BOMB THAT WAS OPPENHEIMER SZILARD FERMI ET AL

Einstein doesn't have to blame. All that happened is the USA's government's blame. The USA was quick to do a genocide in Japan so they show their power to the URSS and get rid of a competitor.

Yes because an invasion of Japan would have gone so much smoother since they knew every place we were going to land and had a lot more planes ready for the invasion than we thought they had. It wouldn't have been them slaughtering us at all. You are a tactical genious.

Yes because the USA knew Japan would surrender in up to 6 months at this current rate, and yes because thousands of military dead in regular warfare > one quarter million + innocents killed.

THE CONVENTIONAL FIREBOMBING OF TOKYO KILLED MORE THAN BOTH ATOMIC BOMBS COMBINED
JAPAN WAS UNDER CONTROL OF THE BLACK DRAGONS AND WOULD HAVE FOUGHT TO THE LAST MAN, THE FIRST BOMB ALLOWED THEM TO SURRENDER GRACEFULLY, THE SECOND BOMB WAS A WARNING TO RUSSIA AND IN FACT WAS DROPPED AFTER THEY SURRENDERED

While science attempts to find what is correct, each scientific theory can only be accepted as what is deemed closest to the truth at the present time. I am sure there are holes in the theory of relativity and scientists are unable to account for them at present. I think to say whether Einstein was right or wrong is wrong, but instead we should say that using the scientific method leads us to believe that relativity occurs as Einstein postulated.
Japan would have surrendered, even the high spheres of the government knew that. The first bomb was to fuck Japan and to scare Russia, the second bomb was even worse and I wish it had fallen in the White House instead.

time is linear, but it can be bent or set in an infinite loop(mobius strip).
its just a big movie with the scripts already written for us.
i think of time as string cheese, take a piece and rip it off until its all gone. seems to me like its 79% eaten up.
the weirdest of dreams are of the future.

>>37 "time is linear, but it can be bent or set in an infinite loop(mobius strip)."
Are you on fucking crack? We have a name for an infinite loop: "circle." A Mobius strip is a two-dimensional twisted /cylinder/. One-dimensional objects cannot be bent into Mobius strips, because Mobius strips are 2D objects embedded in 3-space. And for the record, time actually cannot be bent into a circle. That would make for a very, very strange universe.
