Proposed New Topics forum.
To all participants in this thread: please show restraint in your manner of engagement. Moderators are likely to take a dim view of anyone who merely rants in response to this thread.
I have decided to promote this topic, complete with discussion carried over from the Proposed New Topics forum. The topic proposer has decided not to take the advice of Admin in
Message 4, to rephrase his post as a question. He has chosen instead to repeat as simple declarations a few points that are trivially incorrect. In my view, it is not really the role of moderators to engage the substance of a post; so if the advice given during the initial review is rejected, we should either reject the post or promote it as given.
We don't know as yet whether lost-apathy is a beginning student with a few misconceptions, or someone who has has actually studied a lot of relativity and has some rather ... unusual ... perspectives or criticisms. In either case, please engage the substance and not the person, and please don't get irritated if lost-apathy fails accept your explanations. You can still explain gently for the sake of others where the assertions of lost-apathy differ from the mainstream, and why you prefer the mainstream perspective.
Thanks, and lets be careful out there. -- AdminSylas
