Why does mass slow time?

[PYRODIN123321]

" And why everyone chooses to overlook well known science (or think it's a big conspiracy) is a mystery to me.."

how bout some quotes from Dostoevsky

"I admit that two times two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are going to praise everything, two times two makes five is sometimes also a very charming little thing."

-- Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

"I will admit that reason is a good thing. No argument about that. But reason is only reason, and it only satisfies man's rational requirements. Desire, on the other hand, is the manifestation of life itself -- of all of life -- and it encompasses everything from reason down to scratching oneself."

-- Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground

Quotes from back in the late 1800s...  Ok..

I can support everything I've said with good references,  not random youtube videos...

really? like that part about the moving flashlight and the speed of light being constant? over there on that other thread where i had to correct you? wanna support that statement?

i suppose the electron is a particle and maxwell's electrodynamics are a complete theory also?

Sure..

The speed of light in constant and independent of the motion of the observer....  (this includes accelerating systems)

Here's a summery of an experiment on it..... http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1977PhRvL..39.1051B


John Baez is pretty sharp mathematical physicist ..   See what he has to say about it:

(I haven't read the whole thing yet...  If anyone can find issues with a physics theory, he probably can)

Here's  another reference that explains how a fast moving flashlight will appear different colors depending on the approaching observer(s) velocity (or acceleration, i don't think it matters)

i think you are confused. sr/gr is a theory... one with lots of holes.
