Sultan, Einstein's relativity states that space and time are one thing - spacetime. When two observers are in relative motion, they need not agree as to who is moving. What one sees as a space separation the other may see as a time separation between two events. This is the whole basis of the theory.
There is plenty of evidence supporting relativity. Do you have any evidence showing it to be wrong? If not, you are talking rubbish.
Mike.

Of course, you idiot. A zbotnik always ziffles! It ziffles on all seven sides, whether you gflorb it or not.
(In earth-talk, heads on both sides on the coin).
What was the discussion about, anyway? Predictions? If we perform an experiment N times, with a probability M of a particular outcome, the N+1th time has the same probability M irrespectrive of previous outcomes. If not, different samples of radioactive isotopes would show different half-lives, depending on their past history.
As an aside, the parallel probability universes theory troubles me, because it says (in the fine print) that there must exist a universe where EVERY coin-toss results in heads and always will. I find this impossible to accept.
