Problem with Special Relativity.

Conservation Laws aren't implemented ... they just are

That is easy to say, but can you prove and describe it in detail?

Already been done ... Nöther's Theorem ... Nachrichten von der Königl. Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften und der G.A. Universität zu Göttingen; 1918; pp. 237-255 ...

Is that enough detail? ...

How big would a Googleplex of Neutrons be?

Assuming neutron star density we have: 10^4m/10^29particles. Assuming linear proportion: x = (10^4/10^29)*10^100 = 10^75m radius ball.

Times 10^10^100 you mean ... the black hole created would be larger than the observable universe ...

For a process to stay invariant through translation through time the Universe must compare the process at two instances of time and that requires computation.

If you say that the process "just is": that requires that the Universe is a soul. But souls needs unconscious computation to exist - we compute what we see all the time.

Heap Big-- Probably dangerous to land on

Under Special Relativity ... time is smooth ... to wit:

I'll reply to you Reiny, since you seem the only person here who actually knows anything about the topic--- there is no particular problem with special relativity other than the special case for which it was designed not to apply in all cases since as I recall, special relativity only applies to objects moving in a straight line at a constant velocity.

As such, it was just a stepping stone onward to general relativity.

Yeah ... I'm not sure the existence of a Planck Time Unit, or some other minimum time interval, would matter ... the math is a little more complicated, but those are well-worn pathways to get to the same solutions ...

The main problem with Special Relativity is we have to understand frame-of-reference ... and how an "observer" is defined in textbooks ...

The "Universe is a soul" remark was expected, this thread smelled like Gaia Hypothesis from the beginning ...

DO NOT watch this video whilst listening to Grateful Dead music ... I haven't tripped this hard since 1978 ...

Do you believe all our actions are preordained? ... cool, we're not responsible for our actions now ... thank you ... is there something that can be done about all these giant blue and orange birds filling the magenta skies? ...

Nothing like trying to watch a bunch of monkeys trying to figure out how to unfuck a football.

The value or usefulness of special relativity is the equivalence of mass and energy.
