Special Relativity Contains Massive Error

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a critique of special relativity (SR) through a thought experiment involving an atom emitting two photons in opposite directions. The argument suggests that from the photon's perspective, the distance to the atom becomes zero, leading to contradictions regarding relative motion. Participants clarify that the photon's frame cannot be considered inertial, as it does not experience time or distance, thus negating the proposed errors in SR. The conversation emphasizes that the Galilean transformations do not apply at light speed, and any assertion of a massive error in SR is fundamentally flawed. Ultimately, the validity of special relativity remains intact despite the challenges posed in the discussion.

The relativity is not right in new physics time-space area

As the new area habit, the relativity isn't right in new time- space area. like time travel, exceed light speed particle. semi-dimension. no common reference frame. and so on. specially, as it is not right in reverse mind like the sun relative the light speed and some.
But it is right in limit theory and enable ref in future. the right and lose exist same. it is a physics permit area.
Sorry as the nature limit by humans.
