You should put on an Aluminium hat, that will protect you from the aftershocks of Relativity coming apart. Which could also be a movie coming to a theatre near you soon

Bjarne, there are less than 6 months left, I seem to have missed the consternation in the physics world where observations would make the theory of relativity fall apart.
How are things on your end? It would be a shame if this thread just vanished when there was such a clear timeframe predicted. |

I doubt we'll hear from Bjarne anytime soon. They seem the sort who bides their time until they find something to spin. They have their hands full with keeping the old links on their old claims up to date! This link for example references a YouTube video that's no longer available, among other issues:

I realize there is little chance Bjarne will return, but he made such a clear timeline and iirc claimed he would accept he was wrong is his prediction would not happen, we can always hope

Actually, Bjarne has occasionally admitted he was wrong. Usually only to make some new, outrageous claim, however.

Relativity hasn't been disproven, yet.

September 2017, has it began to fall apart yet? |

Relativity is safe for the time being, but I have concerns about this woman's sports bra's structural integrity:
I'm not complaining, far from it. In the interest of equal time, here's an image of the opposite gender: I know, I know, there's more than one "gender" and I really did try to find some other examples, but my searches kept bring up fetish porn instead of a simple sports related looped GIFs of, say, a weight lifting trans woman. I think there's a commentary on the nature of society's relationship with transgender people that my effort to represent them in this post was stymied by pornographic material. |

If you click on the username of a poster, displayed to the left of every post, you are taken to their user profile, which shows (among other things) when they last visited the forum. I just found Bjarne's first post in this thread (post #2) and did this; it says he last visited on 18th June 2017.

I have been busy writing, articles as well as a new book, with the title "Modified Theory of relativity" https://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperI...?PaperID=76756 https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperI...?PaperID=77930 http://pubs.sciepub.com/faac/3/2/3/index.html |

Sooner or later the data is ready.
But I have to say I have not hear more about the ISS measurement project, even not whether it have started according to the 2017 plan . In the meantime take it easy.., I have been written articles about the opposite "force" - it is easier, faster, and much more choking to get started from there. Read the articles I wrote. - These are connected to the same red thread. |

So you are saying you lied and relativity won't fall apart?
