Re: The Theory of Special Relativity for the Totally Confused Beginner
The problem at heart here is that you don't seem to grasp that
a) we don't have a problem with SR - it is a *theory* which none of us will fully understand
b) it makes perfect logical sense - that it is difficult to comprehend all of it is *natural* and it is true of *everything* in science. It takes a long time to learn things. There is no Relativity 101 in high school for a very good reason. One needs years and years of studies to understand Einstein's theories
c) the *implications* of Einstein's theories may be difficult to comprehend. But that does not mean they are illogical. They are simply counterintuitive. Different thing.
We are discussing the basics of relativity quite often. We also touch upon some of the harder issues. Your attitude has become that of a misunderstood genius who demands our support. We are under no obligation to do so. Nor do we have any obligation to redo your work. Writings about relativity has filled so many volumes in the past 100 years that there should be plenty for everyone.
I and others have suggested many articles and books for you. Now is the time to read them.
For beginners I suggest you stop trying to make tutorials about things you don't understand. Recommend that people read other people's work instead. Like Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces" which are an astonishing example of marvellous science writing. And Feynman's humble approach should be a lesson for us all.
