And now you could       ask me everthing about it.              Unfortunately this is only one paper, which I have analyzed that carefully.              But still I think, that this text is just terrible crap.              It is filled with errors of all kinds.              Some of these errors are also extremely stupid.              And most of my arguments are hard to reject, if you don't want to makle       a fool out of yourself.                                   >       > Says the one who still missed that the "delay" of light propagation is       > taken into account in Einstein's paper, even after people have a blue       > tongue.                     The very word 'delay' is entirely missing in that paper. Also the       treatment of something equivalent cannot be found.              Another phrase entirely missing is - for instance- 'wavelength'.              >> You HAVE to distinguish between a model and the real world, even if       >> the model is quite good.       >>       >> This is so, because model and real world 'live' in different domains.       >       > Sure. You are right here.
