HALF-ABSURDITIES IN DIVINE ALBERT'S WORLD

Dave Goldberg: "Einstein came up with his famous Theory of Special Relativity in 1905. The idea, as you may recall, is that the speed of light should be the same for everybody, and so long as you're traveling at a constant speed and in a constant direction, you shouldn't be able to tell that you are moving. Those were his assumptions (which turned out, as it happens, to be perfectly in accord with the actual physics of the universe), and from them, he found some incredibly surprising things: 1) A clock on a moving spaceship will run slow compared to stationary observers outside. This is also true for heartbeats, pendulums, digital watches, and so on."

The moving clock running slow is only half of the absurd consequence of Einstein's 1905 false light postulate. The whole absurdity would read as follows:

"A clock on a moving spaceship will run slow compared to stationary observers outside, and a stationary clock outside will run slow compared to observers on the moving spaceship."

The whole absurdity (reciprocal slowness) is never shown to the general public - it sounds too idiotic even in the schizophrenic atmosphere of Divine Albert's world. Only physics students are forced to integrate the reciprocal slowness into their minds and as a result lose their rationality forever.
