→‎Attempt at Helping the Consensus Along: reply ... It also assumes that all (non-accelerating) frames of reference in the universe are physically equivalent, which is particularly implausible.

A lot of scientists criticize relativity every day (both special and general). The difference between you and them is that they admit that relativity works rather well under all the actual tests, as it is an approximation of other theories (today untested). Relativity '''can't''' be completely right, but today works. --[[User:MM87|<font color="#E56717">'''MM'''</font>]]''[[User_talk:MM87|<font color="#FBB117">'''''87'''''</font>]] 08:30, 18 August 2011 (EDT)

:[[Poincare]] developed many of the challenging aspects of Relativity as a mathematical theory that he thought probably did '''''not''''' represent nature.  Very little of Relativity, if any of it, is based on observation.  Generally the theory came first, and then [[liberal]]s (like [[Arthur Eddington]]) fudged the data to try to make it fit the theory.  Today relativists simply stop reporting on the data as it diverges from the theory (e.g., perihelion advance of Mercury, and the [[binary pulsar]]).

:I doubt that the speed of light has been constant throughout history, and I doubt that it is constant for all observers.  But note that Relativity is based on more assumptions than that.  It also assumes that all (non-accelerating) frames of reference in the universe are physically equivalent, which is particularly implausible.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 20:40, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
