I (and possibly others) would probably be a little less cranky about the whole article if he'd followed his steps rigorously and arrived at something interesting. And I don't mean it has to be revolutionary like relativity, but something better than just highlighting his new favorite language.
- plinkplonk 16y ago"Well, let's not forget that the pay-off for that particular thought experiment was relativity. :)" I agree :-) . But even Einstein didn't know what he would end up with before the thought experiment. "I (and possibly others) would probably be a little less cranky about the whole article if he'd followed his steps rigorously and arrived at something interesting." I agree that the article is completely tangled and confused and not worth the time spent reading it. I was just using the question posed (and ignoring the source and the accompanying article) to do some thinking to see if anything interesting results.
