While this does not explicitly say ACS, it certainly allows for it. The relativity as per Edwards and the others do not change Einstein relativity, they just generalize it with Einstein relativity being a special case. If you don't want to believe it...fine. I just think it disingenuous to say that ACS is merely some Bible apologetic garbage when the book written by physicists certainly appears to allow for it.
First of all, I told you that ASC is WRONG. I didn't mention it being bible apologist crap. I said it was WRONG and I explained, in detail, as to why.
Don't be disingenuous to me by telling me that I said something that I did not.
Second of all, it's a logical fallacy to appeal to authority, so don't tell me that because this book is written by physicists it overrides the reality of the points I brought up for no other reason than because they're physicists and they included math.
Physicists can be wrong and often are wrong more often than they are right. This is a fact of life for all science if for no other reason than being right requires peer reviewed evidence and even that isn't always a guarentee.
Third of all, Anisotropic Synchrony Convention was a paper written by Jason Lisle which only appears in the Answers in Genesis "Research Journal". It has not been peer reviewed and appears in no actual scientific journals. This paper and your book disagree with relativity for many reasons that I highlighted in my previous post.
These are not made up reaons but are entirely practical and testable and many of them have, in fact, been tested and would be very different if the speed of light is different.
In fact the reason that light travels at the speed of light is because light is massless. This is why objects with mass can never actually reach the speed of light.
This also means that other massless energies (like gravity) also travel at teh speed of light for the exact same reason that light does (also neutrinos and other forms of electromagnetism).
So if light didn't travel at the same speed everywhere, this would affect gravity as well, which would have a far more noticable effect.
Also, I can't drive this point enough - we have a fucking camera that can capture light in transit. I linked a goddamn video of what this camerca captured several posts ago.
The idea that light travels at varying speeds depending upon your position is WRONG. Therefore, ASC is WRONG. Your book is WRONG.
Those physicists who state otherwise are also WRONG and should be discredited to their profession.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
