Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing

pinqkandi writes: "This article over at CNN looks into the relativity of Einstein's theory of relativity (pun intended) as equipment becomes more and more precise. Soon atomic clocks will be placed in the International Space Station to analyze the accuracy of Einstein's theories. One of the lead researchers says that if Einstein's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space-time, due to its deadly accurate precision."

    That's my bet.

    Be cause I can't see, what happens with a circular train around the Earth. How does it shrink, when it's velocity approaches c?

    And this inconsistency must pop out on some other places as well. Sooner or later.

  2. Shouldn't your assertion be a question? by Bnonn · · Score: 1, Troll

    Time doesn't exist, depending on how you look at the situation. I don't know that your interpretation has been proven, though it has some merit. Isn't time technically a fourth dimension, t ? The question should really be, is "time" a by-product of movement in space, or is movement in space possible because time already exists?
