Dear Frithiof: Or, said another way: "Truths aren't determined by popular vote; nor by the person having the strongest will; nor by the person with the most staying power. Truths are self evident, and are their own best defense." If Sagnac had realized that, Einstein would have been disproved long ago. -- NoEinstein --
