What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? +1 OK, that's much better, which is what John McVirgo says in the comments of the question. |

What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? Ok then, so why didn't Einstein also account for different energy scales, such as temperature, having different multiplicative factors? |

What's the purpose of the arbitary additive constants in Einstein's Inertia of Energy Paper? -1 he didn't bother with different frames using different standards of measurements in his 1905 paper, so it's safe to assume he didn't do the same here, otherwise he would have said so. |

What are hidden variables exactly? @user21847 our ignorance and inability to measure these variables hides them from us. |

What was meant by the 'ponderomotive force' as understood by Minkowski? If you read the question, I do say Minkowski mentions it in 1907. |

How can the speed of light be a dimensionless constant? You should be more explicit in your conclusion then: c is not dimensionless and so Schultz is wrong. |

Which kinds of Physics laws do and don't comply with the principle of relativity? Yes, I can see that you're right now. |

Which kinds of Physics laws do and don't comply with the principle of relativity? it's not true that they either exhibit Galilean or Lorentzian invariance, they all obey the latter. Galilean invariance is an approximation for v<<c |

The Four-Clock Special Relativity Conundrum @TerryBollinger the Lorentz transformations depend on the sign of $v$ which means simultaneous events in the lab frame tranform differently to frames A and B. Hence you can't assume the lagging clocks must have the same time because of the symmetry of the problem. |

Are the principles of space-time homogeneity and Isotropy independent of one another? If you can't have isotropy every where without homogeneity, then doesn't this imply they're not entirely independent of one another? |

Recent Higgs boson observation and credibility of superstring theories @Dilaton how are you qualified to say which physicists are right and which are wrong? I'm under the impression that Kane expected SUSY to show up in the LEP - it didn't. So the models were modified and so SUSY was expected to show up in the LHC by now. It hasn't, and on we go... |

deriving a Lorentz transfomation for velocity vector components You've divided by $cdt'$ rather than $dt'$ |
