I give you all "time to think" and absolutely everyone apparently takes it as "time to forget". I understand that ninety percent of the people posting on this forum are
intellectually immature and lack the understanding of scientific reasoning required to deduce the consequences of simple propositions but the total lack of intellectual curiosity is somewhat appalling. I had hoped that one or two of you would grasp the significance of what I was pointing out.

But apparently not! Since no one seems to have had the intellectual wherewithal to comprehend what caused that "pseudo relativistic effect", I will point out that the effect was a direct consequence of the two totally contradictory concepts of time everyone seems to want to carry around in their heads.
One concept of time is the apparent phenomena experienced by the entity proceeding into the future (the concept of time consistent with the physical laws governing the detailed behavior of that entity: his biological clock if the entity is living or the physical clock governing the phenomena if the entity is not living)
The second concept of time is "being somewhere at a particular time" (the concept of time as a parameter which determines the possibility of two different entities interacting:
they have to be at the same place at the same "time").
The first step in understanding reality is comprehending these two concepts are internally contradictory and that both concepts are equally important: they deserve
exact independent recognition.

Since no one seems to have deduced what that subtle change is, I will give it to you explicitly:
If time #1, concept number one (time consistent with the physical laws governing the internal behavior of an entity), is seen as a parameter defining the mechanical unrolling of the future.
And time #2, the interaction of "different" entities (an interaction, the existence of which is determined by overlap of quantum mechanical wave functions), is seen as a simple fourth axis orthogonal to our three dimensional space.
Then, simple universal momentum quantization in that fourth dimension (which yields what appears to be mass) projects out the visibility of that dimension (via Heisenberg uncertainty) and yields
exactly the same (in detail) "pseudo relativistic phenomena" Einstein's relativity was invented to explain!
The nice thing is that this paradigm is perfectly consistent with both quantum mechanics and all experimental relativistic phenomena and totally removes the
conflict between general relativistic phenomena and quantum mechanics. What more could one ask?
And, questor, your question is simply meaningless as the statement of the question is itself internally inconsistent: that is to say, the question contains the implicit inclusion of exactly the same contradictory concepts of time I am attempting to bring to everyones attention.
