LaurenceClarkCrossen, I know that you are not a sincere poster, you are a troll, a joke, a provocation, than you don't think a single word of your claims about Relativity or Einstein, that your name is certainly not Laurence Clark Crossen, and that you seem to have fun. Anyway could you refrain to answer such asinine answers? Thanks.
