Ok, fair enough. So, how many users here think that these points are correct? (And why? Any citations?) And how many disagree with that point?
I'll start giving proof of citations of these points:
(7) The limit is not taken in E=γmc² (m is the invariant mass) but in E² = (pc)² + (mc²)². If m=0 then E=|p|c: the ratio between the magnitude of the speed '|v|' and the speed of light 'c' is given by (|p|c)/E, so |v|=c. There is no discontinuity: these formulas can be found on every basic relativity textbook.
(8) None of them. The longitudinal inertia is proportional to γm, the transverse inertia to γ³m. Please note that same effect is also present in the electromagnetic theory (inertia caused by the self-interaction between a charged object and his own electromagnetic field) ''without'' using relativity.
See for example [http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/Pre2001/V03NO1PDF/V03N1KUL.PDF this article].
(13) I've never heard about an experiment that aimed to the direct search of gravitons. Physicists don't expect to find gravitons in particle or astroparticle experiments, their theoretical (tree-level) cross section is too small (please excuse me for the jargon). This entry needs citations
from academic sources.
(16) An example: Relativistic Field Theories. Some Nobel prizes in physics were given for work on RFTs.
(26) As I demostrated before, E=|p|c. (E means energy, |p| means the magnitude of the momentum)
(32) Given any 4-vector p^µ, the '''opposite''' 4-vector is defined as q^µ=-p^µ. Negative times are related with events happened in the past, the opposite 4-vector has noting to do with the time arrow or the second law of thermodynamics. (What does "the inverse of time" mean, exactly?!)
(33) Definitely not. The light speed has been experimentally proven costant from more than a century: currently there is a plethora
of experiments giving bounds on speed of light variations with direction or frequency (type "speed of light" in Google Scholar), so the aether can't exist. (there are currently theories that predict variations in the speed of light like the "doubly special relativity", but at present time they're not supported by experiments).
