Modern microphysics is grounded in classical physics. Exactly, John. What most people miss in special relativity is that it is not that length, duration and mass are dependent upon the inertial frame of reference of the observer, but that such length, duration and mass are NOT properties of the observed at all, but are instead relations between the observer and the observed, and not invariant properties of the observed (of course, there are nonetheless invariant properties of the observed, but not length, etc). I shall reread Heisenberg and Einstein and recommence this discussion shortly. Regards and chao mP --- from list heidegger-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
