OT: Speed of Idjit

"The concept of time dilation is, IMO, one of the most deceptive and
ridiculous ideas ever foisted off on academia. It is utter and
complete nonsense unjustified by any rational logic. Treating time as
a variable is nothing more than a convenient mathematical trick, a way
of explaining the unexplainable. Paraphrasing bill horne, time
dilation don't mean squat because it don't work.

From Wikipedia:

"Time dilation has been tested a number of times. The routine work
carried on in particle accelerators since the 1950s, such as those at
CERN, is a continuously running test of the time dilation of special
relativity. The specific experiments include:

Velocity time dilation tests
Ives and Stilwell (1938, 1941), ?An experimental study of the rate of a
moving clock?, in two parts. These experiments measured the Doppler
shift of the radiation emitted from cathode rays, when viewed from
directly in front and from directly behind. The high and low frequencies
detected were not the classical values (see Doppler effect....)
for sources with invariant frequencies The high and low frequencies of
the radiation from the moving sources were measured as
deduced by Einstein (1905) from the Lorentz transformation, when the
source is running slow by the Lorentz factor. Thus, the experiment shows
that the frequency of the moving sources is reduced.

Rossi and Hall (1941) compared the population of cosmic-ray produced
muons at the top of a mountain to that observed at sea level. Although
the travel time for the muons from the top of the mountain to the base
is several muon half-lives, the muon sample at the base was only
moderately reduced due to the time-dilation because of their high-speed
relative to the experimenters. That is to say, the muons are decaying
about 10 times slower than they would in a rest frame.

Hasselkamp, Mondry, and Scharmann (1979) measured the Doppler shift from
a source moving at right angles to the line of sight (the transverse
Doppler shift). For an invariant source frequency, there is no classical
transverse Doppler shift, so, unlike the Ives-Stillwell experiment, the
lower frequency of the moving source can be attributed to the time
dilation effect alone.

but what do they know? They're just gullible academic bozos, morons, and
idjits.
