hehhehehe, good one! where'd u find these?
hmm. this is reply to ur reply on my wordpress blog. Actually not specifically on this matter, but i did discuss the authenticity and accuracy of special theory of reletivity with a renowned scientist of our country (obviously Pakistan). What he told me was that special reletivity theory has lost its real worth. It has been challenged countless number of times but officially those challenges are just dismissed with or without any reason. In his words, "editors of official science magzines just throw any research paper that challenges special or general theory of reletivity to dust bin, without even reading those papers".
So a large part of today's established science is just like "might is right". Main na manoon se ziada kuch nahi hai.
