I saw a website(?) that discussed Einstein's SR indicating that it could be possible for "objects"/particles to travel faster than speed of light "c"--relating this to "frames of references". How is this possible?:yuck:
scimeister said:Your comment about a..."mainstream website" could be very important for members posting from research websites. Just what would be considered "mainstream"?

Two other journals that I would be suspicious of are "Physics Essays" and "Annals of the Louis de Broglie Foundation."

But if they cannot be discussed here, these forums are less helpful than they could be.
I know that the danger is always high to drift into nonsensical discussions, so some guidance as to how to compare good theories against bad seems to be necessary.
chroot said:There are hundreds of other places on the web which welcome such discussions.
birulami said:Specific suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Harald.

Boaah, not sci.physics. There is no sensible way to discuss anything relativity or quantum related in the newsgroup. It tried this and any discussion immediately gets out of hand. This is what the rules in PF are for to prevent, of course. Only sometimes I feel they are just a bit to strict.
I'll see what happens on sciforums.
Thanks,
Harald.
The moderation policy for discussions about mainstream sources on the Physics Forums is to encourage respectful and evidence-based discussions while maintaining a high standard of scientific rigor. This means that all claims and arguments must be supported by reputable sources and any personal attacks or disrespectful behavior towards others will not be tolerated.
A mainstream source on the Physics Forums is any reputable and widely recognized scientific publication, such as peer-reviewed journals or books written by reputable scientists. Additionally, credible news outlets and official websites of reputable scientific organizations may also be considered mainstream sources.
Yes, it is allowed to question or challenge mainstream scientific theories on the Physics Forums as long as it is done in a respectful and evidence-based manner. However, any claims or arguments must be supported by reputable sources and any personal attacks or disrespectful behavior towards others will not be tolerated.
Yes, there are consequences for violating the moderation policy on mainstream sources on the Physics Forums. This can range from a warning or deletion of the post, to a temporary or permanent ban from the forums, depending on the severity of the violation.
Yes, Einstein's theory of relativity is considered a mainstream source on the Physics Forums as it is widely accepted and supported by evidence from numerous reputable sources. However, it is still open to questioning and discussion as long as it is done in a respectful and evidence-based manner.
