Nonetheless, the theories of Einstein demand constant revision (the mass-density problem).

Yes you are correct. I think his theoretical interpretations are incorrect, but, the use of transform equations helped him to forcibly arrive at equations that made his mythical interpretation match, at least mathematically, with empirical evidence. But, here again my opinion about this is for another place and time.

Sorry I missed seeing it. I thought you had not answered. I will look back.

In the face of supporting empirical evidence, it would be scientific to challenge the theory of time dilation. Such evidence does not exist, though. But yet, the Standard Model is at odds with Relativity, in regards to gravitation. The unification is currently being sought. These things take time. Science is not close-minded unreasonably dismissive because of time constraints. Baby steps...

I think that challenging the theory of time dilation should be easy to accomplish considering that 'time' is not a part of physics equations. The 't' in the equations represents a physical occurance and not 'time'. Anyway, I do not think that you are close minded. I have enjoyed this discussion. Thank you.
