The modern notion of a field is more mathematical than physical.
They're abstractions and cannot be directly observed. Only their
effects are observable.
Many modern relativists think the two postulates are redundant.

Using just the Principle of Relativity [#] one can derive the Lorentz
transform with an unknown parameter "c" (infinite yields the Galilean
transform, imaginary yields an unphysical Euclidean-like transform [@]).
The value of c is then an experimental issue, and it is found to be
equal to the speed of light (in vacuum) to high accuracy.

[#] One also needs standard definitions of terms like "inertial
frame", and basic assumptions like "clocks and rulers have no
memory". Group theory is needed, but is inherent for the
transformations to be self-consistent.

[@] Among the reasons it is unphysical is the fact that the
composition of two velocities to the right can result in a
velocity to the left. Another reason is that "time" acts
just like "space". Neither of these are true in the world
we inhabit.

It is not as much hilarious as it is a joyful cause for you to
celebrate because your work from seeding and spreading
doubt appears to show and take effect.

That august and profound discussion above is NOT
*** The Protocol of the Elders of Zion *** but it's close.
It's its very influential Science advisory board, namely

=*= The Protocol of the Elders of Einstein's Dingleberries =*=

in whose minutes above one can see that they appear to
begin to finally heed not only the echoes of your thunder but
even the faint whispers from the grave of their Saint Albert
who told them as early as ca. 1920:
== "NOT search at the same, now well lit places, where he,
Einstein, had been working". --- More here about Einstein's
Anus Mirabilis (= Albert's sphincter where his EDs do worship):
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.p...824b27dab62a0d

Einstein's conscience finally caught up with him, when he was
fessing up about the con of REL, ... one year before he folded
his tent, closed his umbrella, kicked the bucket, bit the grass
and puffed, ... when/where he said to Besso in 1954:
::AE:: "I consider it quite possible that physics cannot be based
::AE:: on the field concept, i. e., on continuous structures. In that
::AE:: case nothing remains of my entire castle in the air, gravitation
::AE:: theory included, [and of] the rest of modern physics." . [ &
::AE::elsewhere] "why would anyone be interested in getting
::AE:: exact solutions of such an ephemeral set of equations?"

Saint Einstein shall bless
=*= The Protocol of the Elders of Einstein's Dingleberries =*=
by rotating ever slower in his grave, asymptotically approaching
the state "from dust to dust" that his theories were to begin with
for "Neither of these are true in the world we inhabit"... ahaha...

Thanks for the laughs, Andro & guys... ahahaha... ahahahanson

[Tex]
Boy, you guys are really going to get Einstein riled up at you.

[hanson]
ahahaha... Considering that he is no longer "Ein Stein", but just
plain dust now, that is an utterly valid conclusion but ONLY from
and for your perspective as you being an (in-?)-significant node
in the "Global Brain" that you so often proselytize for. Issue & post
more details about that school of thought then just your usual ref:

Take care, Stocky.
