An alternative interpretation of the consequences of Special Relativity
Does Time exist in any real sense?
There is no direct evidence that time is actually part of the fabric of the universe. It is probable that human beings dreamt up the notion of time as a convenient way of 2 or more people being in the same location to share a task. For example an agreement for 2 people to meet for a hunt at sunrise on the bank of a river next to a large rock is in effect a synchronisation of the event of sunrise with 2 people and a unique geographical point on the planet. The human notion of time serves the purpose of accurately synchronising events for a species that owes much of its success to organised cooperative behaviour.
If time does not exist we need to think again about the consequences of special relativity http://whatswaving.weebly.com/an-alternative-interpretation-of-the-consequences-of-special-relativity.html

Waves ~ of Creation and Energy
in Speculations

as far as I know science has not yet fully understood the detailed properties of:
a. energy
b. waves
for example does energy consist of any matter and if not what?
An electron behaves like a particle or a wave in the 2 slits experiment depending on how you watch it.
Electromagnetic waves propagate through a vacuum which raises the question what is doing the waving?
The problem is that the properties of a wave can only be observed and measured indirectly based upon assumptions that may not be entirely correct.
I don't understand why anyone should get upset about answering the original question. The main difficulty with answering the original question is that nobody knows the answers!
