Hi Terry,

Ah, but that is the key. SR is not bas
Hi Dave,
Aspects of SR have always intrigued me, perhaps for its Alice-in-Wunderland
spatial analysis qualities. With that qualification in mind...

Hi Steven,

Extremely brief half-life's of certain sub atomic particles that are
speeding close to C have been detected to decay within a slowed down time
period reference from our perspective. At least, that's my understanding.

Hi Harry,
Thanks for posting the derivation.
This is one of those cases where E=mc^2 appears to be true, because the math
predicts a value that is useful. As I pointed out, however, E=mc^2 is not
always true, such as in the case of nuclear binding and unbinding.
