Re: Langevin's paradox again

 So Richard Hachel has said that when the proton is moving
around the 27 km circuit, and is measured to pass by the same
point every ≈ 90 μs, then the proton has really made 6933
turns around the circuit during the ≈ 90 μs, which means that
the proton passes the point every ≈ 12.8 ns, and the speed of
the proton is 6927⋅c and not slightly less than c.I like your sense of humor. It is a bit inappropriate in the sense that you do not understand what you are reading (I never said that we could measure in the laboratory protons moving at 6927c in observable speed although it is obvious that physicists perform this feat every day, at real speed, but without understanding the mechanism).

I refer you to Blaise Pascal's advice: "When you don't understand something, and a man's comments seem extravagant to you, and you don't know if he is particularly stupid or particularly brilliant, go look elsewhere .If he is particularly stupid in other matters, or in his usual behavior, it is very likely that he is stupid in what he says and in what we read. On the other hand, if he shows. that elsewhere he largely masters his subject, we must first think that what we do not understand perhaps comes from us, and not from him.
But I like your sense of humor anyway.
N.B. The color of the invisible proton, I haven't photographed it yet, but I remain hopeful.
