Experiments
As we all know, experimentation is the very core of scientific knowledge.
In this section I will provide a large number of Pro-Relativity resources
and links along side the Anti-Relativity ones to use as a basis for
examination. For this page to be of any use to you, you must be able to
temporarily suspend your disbelief and place both theories on equal ground
for examination. However, because of the wide-spread acceptance of relativity
and denunciation of Aether, I ask that you notice the bias of interpretation
in pro-relativity resources and mentally account for it. The
writers of these papers have already made a very solid decision about
what is true and have absolutely no interest in re-examining that
determination. Such is the nature of belief systems.
Additionally, there are other considerations to keep in mind
while examining experimental data. The first I'll mention is well
knows as the "experimenter effect". It is a reference to the fact
that sometimes an experimenter will have pre-conceived notions that
will cloud his interpretation of the data.
The
second effect I like
to call the "accidental illusionist effect". This is where an
experimenter has such a clear vision of what the experiment should do that
he designs it specifically to accomplish that thing instead of
test for the possibility of another. If experiments are set up
to work a certain way, they will work that certain way. This is a
principle used by the illusionist daily. When an illusionist impales
himself on a spear our pre-conceived notions tell us it really
happened and without prior knowledge of the wrongness of the setup
and the error of the perspective we would believe something
incorrect about a very real event. We would have no way of coming to
another conclusion. The experiment still happened but was set up to
provide faulty information. The assumption that Relativity is fact
causes the experimenter to set up incorrectly and view from a faulty
perspective.
