It wasn't like that. My professors are quite nice, unlike Wolfgang there :DD Basically one said he had too many doctorate students (and hence too much work) to read it, and said I had to have a mistake. When I talked to another, he said he couldn't because we were getting to Exam season at the...

Again, thank you for the thoughtful replies. You know, I only did a skim of that because everytime I started reading one the approach was different from my own. But you are right, that is something I should have delved deeper into. I didn't look up test theories, but I did look up...

Thank you for a thoughtful reply. I'm not sure the fora/fori (I never get the case right) you mentioned will be able to help, but it is an answer I can work with. In any case, I'll try with the professors again next year. Perhaps I will follow the other posters' advice as well. I will have...

I stand corrected.

No, and I don't believe that theory is correct. It doesn't fit observation. I describe the "paradox" as it is: an effect completely within what is explained by SR. I should have put the word in quotation marks to specify that it is only called a paradox, even though it is not. The Andromeda...

Well, I couldn't find help in my university, so I guess I'll have to go on the internet, search for some sort of Forum (I think they are called Forums in English), where people who know more than me about the subject might give me some hints... know of any such place?

You assume I didn't study Relativity, which is fair, since I stated "If it is wrong" which clearly means I assume it might be right, and you are certain I'm am not. However, I did study. Even though you were not speaking to me, I would like to ask, do you mean studying Relativity, or reaching...

I believe you are misinterpreting what is "my case." This is an answer to my case, which was, "what can I do with my work?" However, as I have stated, my teachers won't touch this. All they say is that it is wrong, without ever telling me why it is wrong, because they never actually get to see...

As far as that is concerned, my position is indefensible. I cannot convince you I did research, and even if I could, I don't know how much of it would be enough to satisfy that criterion. I totally agree with you. It is indeed one good answer to my problem, to contact the professors. That...

I'm argumenting with both hands tied behind my back, because I cannot show my arguments. I could keep trying to argue my case by trying to find the issues in your own, but that doesn't solve anything until I can actually show the work. I didn't give any arguments to validate my work, and was...

You are absolutely right. I was trying to eat the cake and have it: I didn't want to say what the assumptions I was making were, to avoid breaking the rules, but at the same time being clear on what I meant. I achieved none of those things, probably. I am sorry I misinterpreted you. I will be...

It is difficult to explain my claim without saying what the assumptions actually are, but it is true, if you only change the Principle of Relativity, you wouldn't get anywhere. Mind you, I have no problem showing the calculations, that's the whole point of my question. I am not sharing because...

I understand that not all axiom systems are minimal or categorical, let alone unique. That you raised that point clearly shows I did not explain myself correctly, so let me clarify. The issue is not that the assumptions are different from existing ones, nor that they represent a subset of...

So, even if in some frames there is an actual change in momentum, because in others we can make the force vanish, technically it is a byroduct of the choice of frame and not what we would call a real force?

Well, what I was more preoccupied about, here in particular, was what I could do to pursue the idea. I was aware this wasn't the place to actually ask for someone to give an opinion about the model itself. The problem is, as an undergraduate, it would be really difficult to publish, especially...
