What ad hominem argument? I stated earlier why special relativity effects on mass change are apparent. For example, an accelerated proton increases in electromagnetic mass, but its rest mass does not change. We impute a mass increase which is well determined by the Lorentz Dirac equation, but in order to slow it down, we find that the added "mass" is lost, radiated or decayed away, and that its mass returns to its original rest value. The special relativity point mentioned earlier is that we have to put more electromagnetic energy into the proton to accelerate it up to its velocity than what we would expect under purely Newtoninan or Galilaean considerations.

I am not interested in what you think "real physicists" say. If any of them wish to disagree with anything I've said, I'm all ears. You won't find any of them doing that. You will only find overblown engineers trying to obfuscate the original topic.
