    <p>I got the paper from and read it. Andreas Albrecht and Joao
      Magueijo, "A time varying speed of light as a solution to
      cosmological puzzles, Phys.Rev.D59:043516,1999" If course it is
      interesting that a varying "c' can be used to give an alternative
      explanation of the period between the big bang and when the first
      radiation could emerge this for me is where physicists discuss the
      equivalent of the angles on the head of a pin. I just this weekend
      had school friend of one of my sons over who spent Summers in
      Anartica to explore evidence of expansion in the Cosmic Background
      Radiation - he did a lot of work but could not answer he basic
      questions with anything but that a lot of smart people must have
      thought deeply about it. <br>
    </p>
    <p>but I found the introduction to the Phys REv paper most
      intriguing the discussion of the issue of how to actually make an
      experiment that measures the speed of light and  the ambiguity
      between the unit of measure and the thing being measured when both
      may change quite relevant to SRT. As well as Viv's objection to my
      interpretation condition. Since they said interpretation and
      preference is critical to defining what one choses to be the
      fundamental constants in the first place.</p>

      <p>Wolf,</p>
      <p>following is my response to your mail and your requirements
        stated:<br>
      </p>
      <p>Point 1)  Logically we do not know whether there is a reality
        where physical processes happen, or if there is nothing like
        that. But if there would be nothing like that, then our
        considerations about physics would not have any value and we
        should stop thinking immediately, it would only be a waste of
        effort. Also your consideration that this world only happens in
        our consciousness does not give any help in my view. Because if
        it should be true that our consciousness is not able to
        understand the reality, how can we assume that this
        consciousness can understand itself? This looks like a vicious
        circle.<br>
      </p>
      <p>Point 2) Do we interpret our experimental results correctly?
        This question is an old one and in my understanding the
        physicists have asked this question all the time. And not only
        asked but also worked to identify errors. - During my studies of
        physics we did have lectures here about this topic. And also
        this topic follows the philosophy of the last centuries. So,
        this is not really a new topic.</p>
      <p>And further: For you the question of a constancy of c seems to
        be an essential topic. But don't you overrate this fact? We have
        physical approaches based on a constancy of c and others based
        on a variable c. In Einstein's GRT the local c is constant but
        the "coordinate speed of light" as measured by Shapiro is
        variable. And the famous paper of Andreas Albrecht and Joao
        Magueijo, "A time varying speed of light as a solution to
        cosmological puzzles, Phys.Rev.D59:043516,1999"<br>
        <br>
        shows that our physical world view will not considerably change
        if a varying c is assumed. <br>
      </p>
      <p>I still have the impression that there is some misunderstanding
        of relativity in your mind (we did have a lot of discussion
        about this) and you are using your understanding as a general
        argument against present physics. My recommendation is to work
        towards a deeper understanding of relativity.<br>

        <p>TO Viv, Graham, Chip, Albrecht ... etc.</p>
        <p>I am willing to accept Viv's challenge in her 7/15/2017 reply
          that states " State the science behind it. Then use
          mathematics to show that the effect of the science matches
          observation."</p>
        <p>This has been my goal all along. However to have any chance
          of acceptance I must ask for two conditions that will grantee
          a fair playing field of open minds.</p>
        <p>1) You must be able to accept the statement "What happens on
          a macro scale, happens whether anyone is looking or
          not.".(7/4/2017) as an assumption that itself needs proof
          rather than an a-priory truth <br>
        </p>
        <p>2) Experimental proof i.e. predictions match observations;
          Must allow me to include the interpretation of experimental
          results without the a-priory assumption #1 stated above. <br>
        </p>
        <p>If you do not agree to these two conditions then any theory
          or experimental result justifying the theory will be
          interpreted under the requirement of consistentcy with the a
          priory assumption #1 in a kind of circular self fulfilling
          logic that now new idea can ever hope to penetrate. In this
          case it would be better not to bother communicating on
          fundamental issues.</p>
        <p>Specifically Viv You state : "Newton's mechanics and
          Maxwell’s electromagnetism, form the basis of the physical
          world. Apply Newtonian mechanics to properties of the photon
          as I outlined a while ago and you get general relativity." I
          have no reference to this conjecture and no entry in my E-mail
          list from you addressing this approach but it describes my
          approach very well and please provide references again.</p>
        <p>If I get some agreement I will be writing a mathematical
          appendix to a book I am writing for Routledge Press that is
          intended to describe an action theory formulation of physics 
          that will reduce to  both quantum and classic theory and
          therefore be compatible with all experimental verification of
          these disciplines with the additional property that the
          conscious experience is explicitly included in the theory.  <br>

                                  really DON'T reject your contention -
                                  indeed I agree with it 100%! 
                                  Consciousness is the ultimate
                                  substrate, IMO - it's the 'ocean' in
                                  which all the 'fish' (physical
                                  phenomena) swim, and indeed all of
                                  those 'fish' are themselves woven by
                                  consciousness (mixing my metaphors a
                                  bit here!). More than this, time and
                                  space (spatial dimensions)
                                  are themselves constructs of
                                  consciousness.  My point is simply:
                                  accepting all of that, we don't need
                                  to keep referring to it (any more than
                                  we need to keep referring back to the
                                  breed of sheep that our sweater
                                  initially comes from!) in order to
                                  discuss and analyse physical effects. 
                                  YES, those physical effects ARE
                                  created and sustained by consciousness
                                  - but in a coherent and consistent
                                  way, subject to 'physical laws'
                                  (defined and given form by
                                  consciousness, sure - but we can take
                                  that as read without constantly
                                  referring back to it).  So we can
                                  reason in respect of those 'physical
                                  realities' in respect of the 'physical
                                  laws' that are built into them.  In
                                  the same way, we all agree that a log
                                  cabin is made of wood, which has a
                                  cellular structure; but once we have
                                  ascertained the properties of the wood
                                  we're using, we can carve it into
                                  different shapes, make roof timbers,
                                  structural supports etc of it without
                                  having to constantly remind ourselves
                                  that it originally came from a tree
                                  with these types of leaves and this
                                  particular cellular structure - though
                                  the cellular structure is crucial to
                                  the properties of the wood, we can
                                  take and use those properties 'as they
                                  turn out', without having to relate
                                  them constantly to that cell
                                  structure.  So it is, in my view, with
                                  'space-time' properties of 'physical
                                  realities' (given that they are in
                                  fact constructs of constructs of
                                  constructs of ... ultimately,
                                  consciousness).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

                                      First I would like to agree with
                                      your agreement regarding Special
                                      relativity: "But I do agree that
                                      Special Relativity, as written and
                                      discussed by Einstein himself, has
                                      a fundamental paradoxical logical
                                      inconsistency, which cannot be
                                      explained away by layers of
                                      additional “interpretation” of his
                                      theory." This was my original
                                      intent. First 1) to show that
                                      inconsistencies exist in SRT ,
                                      second 2) to show that GRT was one
                                      avenue of development that
                                      utilizes gravity and acceleration
                                      to address the problems in SRT and
                                      to forward our understanding of
                                      gravity, and thirdly 3) to open
                                      the door for new directions. I did
                                      not anticipate getting blind sided
                                      by alternative interpretations
                                      that then did not further the

                                      second: "When several “observers”
                                      read the data then collected and
                                      communicate about that data, it is
                                      clear to us that we have all
                                      viewed the same data.  It is
                                      therefore quite ridiculous to

                                      had a notable effect on the
                                      outcome of the automated
                                      experiment weeks earlier." It is
                                      ridiculous only within the context
                                      of an Aristotelian framework of
                                      reality in which one assumes there

                                      Your second paragraph includes the
                                      typical words "an observer or
                                      measuring device moving with that
                                      object will draw conclusions (by
                                      human inference or solid-state
                                      logic) that the object is at rest
                                      (and therefore they are also) -
                                      wholly as a consequence of
                                      their/its own physical makeup
                                      being altered by that state of
                                      motion.  Likewise that moving
                                      observer/device will assess an
                                      objectively static object (such as
                                      an atom) as being in a state of
                                      motion, for exactly the same
                                      reason." The key here is "observer
                                      or measuring device moving with" I
                                      am only talking about an observer.
                                      A measuring device only relays
                                      information someone must be at the
                                      end of the chain to realize the
                                      information. The observer is <b>in</b>
                                      the measuring device, he cannot
                                      get out. He receives information
                                      and translates it into his mental
                                      display. Both the apparently
                                      stationary object "moving with the
                                      observer" and any apparently 
                                      moving object in his display will
                                      be subject to the Lonrentz
                                      transformations BECAUSE these
                                      appearances are always created in
                                      the medium of that observers mind.
                                      I believe it is a grave error to
                                      treat the properties of the mind
                                      as an objective independent
                                      reality. But everyone does it

                                      that detail when selling or
                                      wearing the sweater, neither
                                      consciousness nor the brain need
                                      to agonise over <strong><span

                                      those data came to be served up in
