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 5, 2005 --
A new book proposes that Albert Einstein's Special Relativity is
incompatible with the very equations upon which science's
greatest theory is built. Requiem for Relativity the Collapse of
Special Relativity, a book by computer engineer Michael Strauss,
describes the implicit contradictions present within Relativity
( www.relativitycollapse.c
om or www.relativitycollapse.n
et ). Using quotations from the 1905 document and Einstein's
contemporaries as well as interpretations of the Relativity
equations, the book provides a comprehensive description of the
history leading up to, during and after the revolutionary year
of Special Relativity.
According to the author, 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, Michael Strauss believes he has found an error in the
fundamental equations. If so, this would require a major
rethinking of the known cosmological models and assumptions of
modern physics.
