An extremely important discovery made recently by Tom Roberts, the
Albert Einstein of our generation and apparently the last active
hypnotist in Einstein criminal cult:

Tom Roberts wrote in sci.physics.relativity: "While the constancy of
the speed of light was important in the historical development of SR,
I agree it has no logical place as a postulate of SR. Einstein's
second postulate can be replaced by any of a number of suitable
postulates, of which I like this one best: There is a finite upper
bound on the speed of propagation of information."

So time dilation, length contraction and all other idiocies will now
be rigorously deduced from "there is a finite upper bound on the speed
of propagation of information". The world is eager to see the
deduction.
