A Relativist Beginning a Reasonable Defense of Relativity

A Relativist Beginning a Reasonable Defense of Relativity
We have to admit:
1. Parallel lines have not been proven to meet, so the universe and
space are not curved.
2. That space is not curved because it is a vacuum, not a substance.
3. That curved space cannot provide a cause of gravity.
4. We must decide whether to keep both the ether and the LT or discard
both.
5. Einstein never predicted a doubling of the deflection theoretically
because he did not derive it from math or physics.
6. That a doubling would violate the findings of Galileo and Eotvos.
7. That the Newtonian result in Pound-Snider contradicts the doubling of
deflection.
8. There is no equivalence in the equivalence principle, so it is pure
nonsense.
9. That relative motion per se cannot cause all rates of change to
change in unison.
10. You cannot rescue an ad hoc hypothesis with an ad hoc rescue.
Now we are prepared to begin our defense of relativity!
