God liked Einstein and Einstein liked God.
“I want to know God’s thoughts; the rest are details.”
“I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice.”
“God is subtle but he is not malicious.”
Me too. I was never comfortable with the concept of relative motion. A simple thought experiment makes the problem clear. A friend of mine in physics class raised this and the teacher simply ducked it. If you have a bar, say 200 million light years long, and you push it, assuming incompressibility, you will get the same amount of motion on the other end. This becomes an argument for motion as absolute, not relative. As stupid and silly as this simple experiment appears, put in the frame of light years, it becomes different.
Also, dark matter brings back the idea of an ether.
