<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think that Einstein DID have two distinct
perspectives. One was where he concluded that TD was a "real"
phenomenon. The other was where he concluded that DT was a "perceived"
phenomenon. I am simply saying that he was right, both times. But
the VIEWPOINT was different. From us, on Earth, we DEFINITELY MEASURE TD
which seems to imply that it is a "real" phenomenon. Both for observing
Siri and very high velocity Muons. But the other perspective is also
very true and obvious, that the "target" does NOT actually experience any TD
effects, whether on Siri or for a Muon. I agree that, philosophically,
trying to say that TD is a "real phenomenon" or a "perceived phenomenon" are
actually BOTH true, but ONLY dependent on where you are looking
from.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As to any questions about "Lorentz mass
increase" and about "Lorentz radial distance and velocity" and about "Lorentz
Time Dilation", all three of those "appear totally logical from here on
Earth" while all three do not even have any validiity when viewed from the
"target". Since we are trapped here on Earth, we tend to think in
terms of the first. Following Einstein's reasoning, the (apparent) mass
certainly APPEARS to increase (in order to logically explain the
"acceleration" and the "distance" so it is all compatible and logical. But
when we look from Siri, and he sees NO TD and NO increase in mass
and NO change in velocity or distance, your comment about "speed of light" never
has any issues at all. NEITHER viewpoinnt can ever see any "faster than
the speed of light". From Earth, we THINK we see the mass increase
(per Lorentz) but we also THINK we see the distance and velocity also SEEM to
change, all where perfect logic is always true. On Siri, he never SEES any
such things, and he SEES a totally reliable c.</FONT></DIV>
