I mean, if you people were into Truths.. the kind of clocks Einstein was reffering to were the makings of ...cuckoo clocks. But, I have yet seen anyone here mentioned that Einstein was influenced by how cuckoo clocks works. I mean, Relativtiy comes from...cuckoo clocks. At Albert Einstien time..the mosct accurate clocks then were...cuckoo clocks! I find it hard to believe in this so-called newsgroup nobody ever mentioned that? You people know NOTHING about ...Relativity! I'm flabbagasted! -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
