I'm not objecting to anything, merely providing a slightly different way of viewing time-at-a-distance

1. Give an example of what you mean by "time-at-a-distance"
2. Give an example of a "different way of viewing it"

It feels like you are saying that "six" is a slightly different way of viewing "fourteen".

Sorry Ros, thought I had already done so, several times, but this might help:

I meant that you seem to be rearranging reality for your own purposes (which are not clear) and justifying that by saying that your notion of time at a distance is merely "a slightly different way of viewing" things, I made a comparison with someone who doesn't like the number fourteen for some reason and decides to call it "six", and when asked why, justifies it by a similar argument.

@contrex,
Aha Con, I see. However that comment doesn't clarify your misunderstanding

Have you accessed the new link above. Maybe be someone a whole lot more knowledgeable than I will step forward to resolve it in a clearer and more expedient manner

The problem is that I don't think it's me that is doing the "misunderstanding", unless you are applying that word to the fact that I don't see why you want to put forward the notion that you have evidently espoused, and I cannot fathom what you mean by your description of that notion.

Yes Con, presuming most of us responding to a thread of this sort understand classic relativity pretty well, I'd have to admit my "relative relativity" might be somewhat difficult to comprehend

..although as I mentioned, participants at other sites understood even if disagreeing. It's okay to disagree, I won't feel bad
