Al

Her is a repeat of my comment about your paper while answering Albrecht

Did you read kracklauer's paper ? do you think "that time dilations and 
FitzGerald contractions are simply artifacts
of the observation, and not induced characteristics of the objects being 
observed themselves."

Well its hard to disagree with this statement because the reason the 
transformations were invented is to show that the Maxwell equations 
which describe a physical fact will transform to describe the same 
physical fact no mater what body you are attached to.

And yet AL I disagree with it because i believe there is a reality and 
the appearances in any observers coordinate frame i.e. body , represent 
something real that is effected by gravity. And simply recognizing that 
the rate of electromagnetic activity is dependent on the gravitational 
influence the system in which the activity happens is under , is a 
simple provable assumption that connects electricity with gravity. Once 
this is established as an observer independent fact. THen that fact also 
applies to the body making the measurement and in that sense and only 
that sense time dilations and FitzGerald contractions are simply 
artifacts of the observing body.

I did like "It is, that each particle is effectively an “observer”
of all the others, necessitating the incorporation of the
attendant mathematical machinery into the coupled equations
of motion of the particles.'

and am looking forward to Al' promised further work in this coupling.
