If it isn't perfect, then it is subject to error, and therefore should not be trusted absolutely.
No it's trustable to the level of measured accuracy.
Remind us how you tested your supernatural sensory measurement of g again.
Once again, I addressed the issue of which method should be considered more reliable in the part of my post you did not quote. Neither one is perfect, but we can compare the two and draw conclusions as to which is better tested.
example:
atomic clocks have shown time dilation, but we don't notice a difference. does that mean that Einstein was wrong?
No, it means that you can't be in two frames of reference at once and have an opportunity to observe the difference.
also, see optical illusion
There's no such thing as an optical illusion.
I'm sorry Steve, I didn't realize that your senses had evolved to be perfectly accurate.
Instead of posting a non-sequitur, why not respond to the part of my post in which I addressed this very issue, and which you removed from your quote?
Well well, today we have learned that:
human senses>machines, computers, and robots
but there is no such thing as an optical illusion.
troll detected.
and parsifal,
yeah, but the thing is, your body would not tell you that there had been a delay in time for you, when you came back and interacted with the rest of the world, because it was too small for you to notice. If the effect had been grand, like if you came back from traveling at relativistic speeds for an hour, and they told you that it had been weeks, you'd be able to tell that there was something off.
and are you saying that you do not see a bent square here?
But back to your original theory:
"My own senses tell me that the gravitational field does not vary from place to place. Why should I put my faith in a machine that could be influenced by all kinds of extraneous factors, when I have perfectly good sensory abilities developed over millions of years of evolution?"
this is madness. not only does evolution not make the best things ever, as previously explained, but it has been shown that human senses<machines. protip: when you want to measure something use a ruler or ____meter. example: put your finger in the two little holes in the wall. the one surrounded by white plastic. tell me then the differences in Amperage throughout the duration of this experiment. And for the gravity meter thing, surely you know that scientists decide that variance exists, when a device shows variance greater than its margin of error. you should lrn2physics before posting here again. I'll help you out:
