But very little subtlety is required to know/learn why your methods
failed to keep your niece, Joy Benson, from becoming a myope with a
restricted driver's license OR did ANYTHING to prevent YOU from
becoming a 7d myope.
Incidentally, didn't you just go running and screaming to the
"majority-opinion" eye doctors when it was time to genuinely fix your
vision....
Hm. Yeah. Sure looks that way.

This is an off-topic misdirection.
Nevertheless, you picked the wrong guy for your argument. You do not
sufficiently sensitive mass measuring equipment. Nevertheless, suitable
equipment is readily available. It is possible to measure the momentum
in the radiated electromagnetic radiation from the hot canon ball using
typical infrared detectors. This momentum transfer comes from the heat
used to heat the ball and is the Einstein mass under consideration, In
principle, repetitive heatinh and radiation capture will keep on
transferring mass from the heating source to those bodies capturing the
radiation. The cannon ball is unaffected after all this mass transfer.
What next?

Bill,
Did you notice that -- apparently -- Otis has removed his original
post??
This is another part of his insane M.O.:
EVERYTHING he posts is inane and ridiculous, but ... even HE has a
"lunacy threshold," and ... when he exceeds it ... he'll remove the
post.
The guy's an ab-so-lute idiot.

Dear Bill,
The issues is your demand for proof in a sharply defined context.
No Einstein in fact described his theory as "Heuristic", which means
that INITIALLY he could not offer PROOF, but the concept had to come
first.
He did this in his 1905 papers. Only long after, was the "proof"
finally developed, and you had to undertstand his concept FIRST before
there could be any discussion of "proof".
Only by your changing the context could you talk about proof. Yes the
weight change is so small, that it can not be measured. In THEORY the
change
is their, but you can't measurement.
You need to define the CONTEXT of the test -- to get an accurate
measurement. This is OFTEN the case in science, and scientific
analysis.
But back to you demand for a clear "yes or no" answer -- to a question
you feel is obvious
Let us assume that you demand that I tell you if light travels in
"waves" or by "particles".
The answer depends on the opinion of the person you ask.
There is no yes or no answer.
Same as preventing entry into a negative STATE for the fundamental
eye.
There are NO easy yes or no answer.
Second-opinion best,
Otis

Evasion, avoidance, and obfuscation.
Otis's only strengths.
Direct answers??? Not that I've seen. They seem to be far, far
beyond his meager abilities.
