Every cow knows that SR states that observers measure that the objects act as if they increase mass with increasing vleocity.
So what you say is that observers on fast moving objects must hallucinate, they are measuring something that only “acts like” and not is real ? – Is this what you are saying / believe?
Every cow knows that this is the inertial mass that appears in F = ma.
This means that with greater velocity it takes a greter force to create the same acceleration.
Nothing wrong with all these clever cows.
But this is not where the history ends.
First at all it requires more and more energy to get a diminishing increase in speed.
And the mass of the moving object is increasing.
This means that we are no longer dealing with simple Newtonian classic physic.
We are up against something much more strange / complex.
Add to that, - that fast moving objects
really are emitting “losing energy” (magnetic field / energy).
Ask also WHAT is a magnetic field?
Ask who pay the enery-lose-bill, if it is not decreasing KE / speed ?
Ask why can the increasing KE be accumulated in matter and how it interact with sapce (motion in space) ?
Ask why does KE / Mass really increase just because something moves.
If there was really no connection between space and matter, there would be no “contact” due to motion, and everything would be so brian damage simple.
But this is not how reality works.
The best way of comparing RAM is actually when you probably in school have tried to dial a dynamo with your hands; - you could feel the magnetic resistance, and you could see you was powering a lamp.
You got a experiences that matter interact with “nothing” – with space.
It’s not the same phenomena we are discussion here, but enough to that you should know that “something” goes on between matter and space, and enough to be more open minded.
You should ask WHY and HOW does matter “accumulate” KE
How is the contact between space and matter, due to motion + KE/Mass increase.
It is too easy just to ignore such important question and then export the whole problem to a not existing mysophobia reality…
Every cow knows that SR is not a theory of gravity.
Every cow also do know that SR was the theory that later was “extended” also to comprehend gravity “SR” ..
SR and GR are in fact connected, simply de to the fact that that SR claims:
Gradually faster speed = increasing mass.
Increasing mass = increasing gravity.
As you can see now we have suddenly moved to
GR. This is where the 2 theories in fact only touch each other, - or “unite”.
How can inertia be both a resistance to change in velocity and RAM?
That's a direct contradiction.
Inertia can't both resist change in speed and cause a change in speed at the same time.
Such confusion is the reason to that I don’t like to use this expression; “Inertia” .
All what you have learn about inertia is correct, except that Newton thought that a body would continue (forever) after to have reach constant speed.
Yes speed accumulate as KE exactly like you have learn it.
But as mention above the process of acceleration is in fact not able to be fully understood based on classic physic.
Special relativity brings much more facets into that phenomenon.
Even a brian damage cow would never dream to ignore the question what really happens in the meeting point between space/motion and matter, and how KE and mass change due to that.
We are talking about essential law of nature.
We should take such question much more serious.
But the fact is that as you can see people like RC prefer to export the essence to the 21th bright blue unreal dimension, of course without reason, or evidence.
