Mr. Royce, could you please define what you mean

that you've used it in your "proof"? You say "real clock rhythm",
"real
mass", and "real energy", but don't fully define those terms. Perhaps
the root of the misunderstanding here is a difference in word usage?
Maybe people on the list are missing your fundamental point because
they aren't using the same words to mean the same things...
Yes, but please do it elsewhere. We don't need a discussion of
physics here.
It doesn't matter a bit whether what Mr. Royce is saying is true or
not. The only real question we need to ask is: can we find it in a
textbook or similar?
We don't _do_ physics on wikipedia, we merely report encyclopedically
on the state of the subject.

Quite right, my fault. Mr. Royce, please take it back to a talk page and I
promise to participate there. I never saw the original conversation, but
I'll head there if you privately email me with the talk page that you're
using. I hope others will do the same and join us on the talk page so that
this topic can be removed from this list.
