I'm with you 100% HBD, especially your theoretical ideas of going deeper into the atomic structure to find better explanations. I see the same inner dynamics of electrons, protons and neutrons, as the only really possible true explanation of the relativity space time phenomena. I also agree that Einstein throwing out the old eather theories, and replacing them with grt srt, was the greatest mistake of the XX century. Keep up the great ideas...

The personal decision of looking at the issue as a warping or curving of an alleged space-time continua [his virtual invention] was a set back to modern physics until today. I know that many among you here will find my words a little harsh and somewhat inappropiate considering the statue of the man who change the way we see the universe today... I'm sorry if I hurt someone's feelings with this posting but I have an entirely different perspective about the same issue and I have the same right anyone has to express his or her opinion about science. Allow me to include a link that will help us to get an idea of what I'm going to say next: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time
I've mentioned before this thread of course some of the contradictiong aspect of the subject, however I believe it deserves more opinions and discussion until the truth becomes the final ruler. The need for a virtual deformation or curvature in the topography of what Einstein baptized as "space-time" [including the 3 spatial dimensions and time] was a pretext to renormalize our mathematics and being able (at the same time) to explain an obvious discrepancy concerning incompatible results among observers of the same event. The concept of space-time continua was a XX century's approach to something Einstein never understood seeking for answers his entire life: The true nature of matter. His famous equation "E equals M C square" was another way to renormalize the concept of matter as we can perceive it from our position as observers* I am convinced that each scale of the universe... starting in the very core of the simplest atom of hydrogen to the very extent of the universe there is one thing in common: the actual density mass-energy changing from one scale to the next>>> the local eather. I could resume my thoughts by saying that even at the atomic scale among shells and sub-shells making for the atomic structure, the nature of the eather changes modifying the conditions that made Einstein to blame the topography of space-time in the macro-world. We must need to find the answer in a comprehensive theory that includes the changes in the nature of the eather [the local density between mass and energy in 3 D space] as the only reason for the contradiction observed by different frames over the same event.
