e=mc2 Is Wrong - Einstein's Special Relativity Fundamentally Flawed |
 |
|
In 1905, Albert Einstein published 'On the Electrodynamics
of Moving Bodies' now known as Special Relativity; this theory
revolutionized geometry, math, physics, science and the classical
perspective of the universe as understood since Newton's time.
However, were there intrinsic errors in this theory?
USA (Wire) December 12, 2005 --
Is Albert Einstein's Special Relativity incompatible with
the very equations upon which science's greatest theory is
built? New observations made by many scientists and engineers
appear to contradict the great German scientist's ideas. Apparently
there are implicit contradictions present within Relativity's
foundational ideas, documents and equations. One individual
has even pointed that quotations from the 1905 document and
Einstein's contemporaries as well as interpretations of the
Relativity equations clearly and concisely describe a confused
and obviously erroneous theory. It is time therefore, for
science to update its thinking on this theory with a comprehensive
analysis of the history leading up to, during and after that
revolutionary year of Special Relativity.
As this is the 100 year anniversary of the original release
of Special Relativity, a review of the original assumptions,
documents and ideas which led to the acceptance of this theory
is timely and warranted. Every year millions of students are
taught this theory without a critical analysis of Relativity.
Relativity Theory consists of its two variants Special Relativity
and General Relativity and is considered the cornerstone of
modern physics.
Albert Einstein borrowed from the ideas of Fitzgerald, Lorentz
and Voigt to create a new concept of the universe. His first
work in this regard later came to be known as Special Relativity
and contained many controversial ideas which today are considered
axiomatic. Amongst these are Length Contraction, Time Dilation,
the Twin Paradox and the equivalence of mass and energy summarized
in the equation E=mc2.
This equation became the shining capstone of the new theory
along with its first & second postulates, namely, that
the laws of nature are the same from all perspectives and
that the speed of light 'c' is constant in a vacuum regardless
of perspective. Further, the theory also predicted an increase
in mass with velocity. Numerous examples have been given of
the 'proof' of the validity of Special Relativity.
Most notably, experiments using particle accelerators have
sped particles to incredible velocities which apparently provide
confirmation of Einstein's theory. However, doubts remain
in the scientific community who have never totally given up
the comfort of a Newtonian world view. This is readily apparent
in that they refer to the Newton's 'Law' of Gravitation whilst
Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR) are given
the polite attribution 'The Theory of' or simply SR 'theory'
and GR 'theory.' Einstein would continue working on the ideas
of Special Relativity until producing the aforementioned even
more controversial treatise.
In his later more comprehensive work called the Theory of
General Relativity (1916), Einstein proposed a major re-thinking
of cosmology. He conceived of a space time continuum that
is curved by mass; in other words, planets, stars, galaxies
and other stellar objects cause a curvature of space time.
The movement of these objects are determined by the aforementioned
curvature.
As a result of these ideas, our understanding of geometry,
math, physics, science and the universe would never be the
same. However, some scientists are reporting that speed of
light is not constant from different experimental observations.
One has even reported errors in the fundamental equations.
If so, this would require a major rethinking of the known
cosmological models and assumptions of modern physics.
