Reply to comment by WhatsThatNoize in Logical positivism does not dispense with metaphysics, as it aimed to. It merely proposes a different kind of metaphysics, in which natural sciences take the privileged position once occupied by rationalist metaphysics. by IAI_Admin
I'm not talking about "variations over time". I'm talking about getting two different measurements depending on your frame of reference.

I'm saying you should probably learn the conceptual basics of special relativity.

Variations of location, time, and relative velocity are immaterial to objective reality. They're not "subjective truths", they're second-order measurements.
I'm well aware of special relativity Mr. 200 IQ.

I'm not the one calling differences caused by separate frames of reference "variations over time"

If differences in frames of reference weren't material to objective reality they would be unnecessary to describe objective reality. As you are no doubt aware General Relativity is necessary to correctly describe reality.

No, you're just attributing a meaningless distinction to an important one.

You're entirely forgetting that you're talking about a mathematical MODEL of reality.

You're entirely forgetting Relativity has been experimentally confirmed.
