“ In fact, there are numerous sources on the internet that address, and agree, that there is "conflict" between "quantum mechanics" and relativity. For example, relativity denies any action-at-a-distance, while quantum mechanics depends on it.--Aschlafly 21:41, 29 January 2008 (EST) ”

Does assfly have any idea what either term means? Oh, sorry, forget it.--PalMD-Did that sound a little harsh? 22:22, 29 January 2008 (EST)
He knows how to google and either ignore or quote mine, thassall. humanUser talk:Human 23:32, 29 January 2008 (EST)
Andy's right when he says gravity and QM haven't been reconciled, but he's wrong about why. The action-at-a-distance "conflict" between special relativity and QM is resolved by general relativity. See here. Andy seems to have trouble differentiating between SR and GR. He just mines what he thinks are the flaws in each and then tries to (incorrectly) use them to refute some nebulous monster called RELATIVITIVITSM!! It's like watching Sysiphus at work.--Bayesyikes 19:11, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

Why won't Conservapedia accept my truthful, unbiased edits? Who cares what their opinions are? People just want FACTS. Dark Zorro 18:36, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Has anyone written about this BS from CP?

From the CP Universe article: "Young-Earth creationists have developed a number of models which explain the age of the universe as being affected by the time-warping effects of gravity as predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, so that the age of the universe as measured by a hypothetical observer at the edge of the universe might be 14 billion years, but as measured by an observer on Earth is only 6,000 years."

[edit] Changes to the CP article

The Conservapedia article has been cleaned up a bit, with some of these issues being resolved. In particular, most references to moral relativism have been removed. However, a new section, "Political aspects of relativity," has been added, making the claim that Barak Obama helped publish an article using Einstein's relativity to argue for abortion rights(!). Someone who can stomach such BS should probably revise this article.

[edit] Spacetime doesn't exist

Because the Lorentz's invariance equation is equal to a constant, not a variable. So we can't give independent values to space and time. x and t are wavelength and period of a electromagnetic wave. 

           c^2t^2 - x^2 = 2x10^-34

Light speed squared times time squared minus space squared is equal to a constant. Relativity only cares with two reference frames, but if we consider n reference frames we see that all invariance equati- ons are equal to the same value.

The above was donated by 85.241.174.102 - whether it is correct or not, it's fairly badly written and doesn't say why it has anything to do with the article. ħumanUser talk:Human 20:14, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Schlafstein

What's this bizarre vendetta of R. Schlafly against A. Einstein all about? He removed a couple of false attributions from the Einstein's page:

--LArron 04:25, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
Eh, Rudolf Schlafly needs to prove he is teh smart once in a while - how better than to argue with Einstein? Eat another hot dog, Roodger!!! The blog mommy paid for to keep your brother out of her hair is not your playground. Get a life (we know, you're trying to. Maybe you should improov your pitch?) ħumanUser talk:Human 04:40, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
And he is still hackling about the contributions of Einstein, this time the topic is the photoelectric effect... --LArron 10:30, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Motivation

So does anyone actually know why they have such a problem with relativity? The only reason I can think of is one of the concepts you raised, about relativity being perceived as a "Jewish science". Is teh andi a wee bit antisemetic? Crundy 13:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] May I...

I've noticed that the response section in this article isn't altogether correct. Am I allowed to change it? (ordinarily I wouldn't ask, but calling it a "response" suggests that it represent the position of the community as a whole) Cheers.--Star trooper man 06:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Update is now sorely, SORELY needed

Now that KSorenson has sorely vandalized the cp:relativity pages and other things such as the page on black holes as well, shouldn't we update or at least add a disclaimer to this page reflecting the unusual factuality of cp's relativity pages as of right now? I don't doubt that CP's going to edit over Kate's contributions in relatively short order, but certainly the whole fiasco deserves mention here at some point. Possibly add a new section to the page? Frummidge 19:36, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

At the very least the article should (does it?) link to the version (permalink) we are critiquing. Also, following up with the story of the last week (and Andy's lunacies on his "essay"s talkpage...) would be a good idea. ħumanUser talk:Human 19:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Fortunately, it still does link to that version (and the permalink does still work, sometimes CP doesn't burn its history!). We will need to follow up to the story and probably link to Conservapedia:The_Great_Disenchantment more than likely. Frummidge 20:05, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Best of Pseudoscience

Should this be in best of pseudoscience seeing as it is also in best of Conservapedia? - User = \scriptstyle(6\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}n^{-2})^{1/2} 06:34, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
