However, one of the properties of a [[vector space]] is that every vector have an inverse. Time cannot be a vector because it has no inverse. | | #[[Minkowski space]] is predicated on the idea of four-dimensional vectors of which one component is [[time]].

| | #It is impossible to perform an experiment to determine whether Einstein's theory of relativity is correct, or the older Lorentz aether theory is correct. Believing one over the other is a matter of [[faith]]. Physicists from questionable universities such as MIT claim to have performed experiments involving muons, but they just use scientific mumbo-jumbo to hide the fact that they proved nothing. | | #It is impossible to perform an experiment to determine whether Einstein's theory of relativity is correct, or the older Lorentz aether theory is correct.

The luminiferous aether was supposedly debunked in the Michelson-Morley experiment, but this clearly further evidence of the liberal bias of the scientific method. | + | #In [[Genesis (ch.1)|Genesis 1:6-8]], we are told that one of God's first creations was a firmament in the heavens.

| | #The barn and ladder paradox: Person A has a ladder too long to store in his barn. Person B takes the ladder and runs very fast into the barn. For A the ladder will contract, and if the velocity is fast enough, it will fit in the barn. But to B, who is moving with the ladder, it is the barn that will contract, making the problem even worse. So, who is correct? Does the ladder fit in the barn? This problem was considered in the book Introduction to Electrodynamics by David Griffiths, and the author, who supports Relativity, claim that both are correct. The ladder both fits and doesn’t fit in the barn. This is obviously against elementary rules of logic. | | #The barn and ladder paradox: Person A has a ladder too long to store in his barn.
