      Nobody could do the math Einstein came up with. Not because they were not as smart but because it was fraudulent. You can learn science without ever having to go to school. A degree to go into debt for is just a piece of paper giving you permission to work in the field of your choice. It is a nice scam.

      The problems of general relativity arise when you look at the Universe at very small or at very large scales. What's wrong with general relativity ?
      New finding in 2010 you don't know before, in general theory of relativity Albert Einstein ignored refraction of light. Einstein's proving method (EPM) via eclipse is unscientific and deeply wrong. It is very surprising. Einstein was wrong.
      Please read on the reliable source the book The Universe and DR.Einstein, by Lincoln Barnett, London, 1949, Preface by Albert Einstein himself, page 78 - 79.
      Einstein's gravity is wrong. Deflection of light is caused by refraction, not gravity. Shapiro delay is false, time delay is caused by refraction, not gravity. Gravitational redshift is false.Redshift is caused by refraction. Redshift is not Doppler shift, Lensing is caused by refraction, not gravity.....etc.

      GPS doesnt prove relativity. There are no relativistic corrections on GPS satellites. Talk to the people who built them
      Secondly, nuclear power and weapons were known to be possible prior to Einstein, and could have happened without his work.. All Einstein did was mathematically harmonize newton with a few other theories.

      The problem is that the scientists themselves are flawed, ordinary humans and they protect their accomplishments and are not quick to embrace change. This can be both and good thing and a bad thing.

      Especially if like most creationists they were taught ever since they were young. It's kind of hard to throw away something that you thought you knew for 20+ years. Another unfortunate thing is some groups shun their family and friends just because they don't want to be proven wrong.

Truth "Facts" can never be absurd, truth is certain, contradictions though are uncertain, so honestly why is this certainty which is everything absurd?
      I insist all uncertainties treated as certainties are the absurd, and it's high time more data is accrued so that all uncertainty is eliminated..

      If you correct an error of Einstein which has stunted the growth of physics for about 110 years would someone please proof this E=mv^3 where v = lights variable speed. If this is not proofed you will not believe the result. It comes out being that light speed is possible means Einstein made a human error since we are all human and did not take into account that light is variable due to its speed can change such as a speed in a different medium since this has already been proved by the lights refractive index.

    If it wasn't for Einstein questioning the current state and understanding of physics, in his day, let alone the top physicist at his time (Isaac Newton), then he would never discovered anything.
    Moral of the story? Always question. Einstein's theories might be just one small step towards the greater picture, just as Newton was for relativity. To assume that one guy had it all correct and we need not question his theory is to not be scientific whatsoever.

      It's not so much the speed of light that Einstein questioned, but it's behavior in relation to everything else (including time and space).
      Einstein had the insight to see that the speed of light was the same for all observers, and basic algebra would show that if one thing stays constant, everything else must give (that being time and space).
      It was such a profound thing to claim, but something that was not considered or discussed in his day, or ever in the past.
      That's what I meant about questioning the current state and understanding of physics. He wasn't questioning the laws, per se, but how those laws interacted with each other.
      It was just a simple paradigm shift. But that same principle can be applied today. Perhaps our understanding of light, space, and time is still skewed because of some simple change of perspective no one has yet to notice?

      No, it was Lorentz that formulated the idea of length contraction and time dilation based on more precise measurements of the speed of light that had been done.
      Then before Einstein Poincaré had already worked with a constant speed of light and relativity, building upon Lorentz' work.
      Lorentz' original theory contained however an absolute ether that could neither be experimentally confirmed nor is it compatible with relativity. Poincaré knew that.
      So Einstein dropped the ether, postulated that Lorentz transformed coordinate systems are frames of reference (which are a theoretical construct) ... and that's special relativity.
      He also noticed that the speed of light is not just about light by recognizing c in Maxwell's equations.
      You see, this was a chain of small steps taken by several smart people and technological advances were also very important in order to be able to do the experiments.

      R.B. Ratieta No one will ever shatter Einstein's theories. Einstein was NEVER once wrong and never will be. Now, you can expand from his knowledge and not contradict him as you even stated but you will never in your life discredit him. For example, NASA states space is a square with no edges. Einstein did not understand the geometrical shape of space at that time because the actual density of space was not measured. There is no such thing as a square with no edges. Space is made of parallel circles with infinite curvature that cause the equal and opposite reaction of flat parallel lines in the interior and accelerated expansion. Physicists state that Einstein's theories stop at black holes when gravity pushes and it does not pull. Thus, the gravity of the atom that caused the Big Bang is pushing against the deflating gravity of the universe when time space is broken down in a black hole. They attempted to discredit Einstein and failed so miserably that they became flat Earthers as a result.

  • @Nightlurk
    @Nightlurk 10 років тому +32

    I'm a programmer and when doing debugging, it often saves a lot of time to ask yourself the question "where did I botched up" and just start from the presumption that you made a coding mistake which is altering the entire thread and hence the output (inside out) than to start the process backwards from the symptoms of the problem, through the entire thread, towards the source of the problem (outside in).
    Obviously this is not always the best solution, and you need many years of experience to gain this instinct of guesstimating directly the source of the problem than going through the normal process, and some times it just doesn't work and your instinct is wrong, you must always keep in mind that everything is possible and be opened to the possibility that you may be totally wrong.
    I guess the point I'm trying to make is, most of the times, the most simplest explanation is the right explanation for an apparently inexplicable phenomenon. In this case, there is much more likely a problem in the actual method of measurement of the experiment, than the theory of relativity being wrong. However, that does not mean the theory of relativity is bullet proof, and a good scientist must keep that in mind, because nothing is more disruptive to progress than not being able to see the forest because of the trees. If in this particular case the simplest explanation is the measurements being wrong, it's possible that in other cases, the simplest explanation might just be that relativity is not quite that... relative.

      I don't believe that there is a scientist who thinks that relativity is the end of physics and should be written in stone tablets somewhere and left for the generations. Every theory should be thought of as "not yet proved wrong", or "the best we have". And relativity is had been pretty useful so far. I mean, everything tech related we have because of Einstein's work. So is relativity 100% correct? Probably not. Is it good enough for now? Hell yea.

      That's what I like in Science. We (as humanity) may one day discover that speed of light is not strictly constant but depends on something. If this happens, it won't mean that everything need recalibration and Einstein was wrong, it will just mean that Einstein was on the right track but just didn't see the bigger picture and it would mean that we'll be able to do more than we could before.
      Considering how little we know about the time, I think that theory of relativity just scratched the surface of something much much bigger.

      Regarding time, relativity, and two planes flying opposite directions with atomic clocks (Hafele-Keating experiment) ...
      There is reason to doubt it because, as proven by Reich, orgone (life) energy affects rates of radioactive decay.
      A plane moving one direction moves through more of it in one direction vs ground and the other.
      For the same reason, Pons & Fleischmann may have been correct about cold fusion.
      If the container they used to control temperature was built more like an orgone accumulator than those who tried to reproduce it.
      Radioactive decay rates are not constant as assumed.
      You can see them change over the next few days just subjecting samples to 50KV for 30 minutes (AC or DC, doesn't matter).
      For that reason, our dates are unreliable with carbon-dating, it depends on how many times the sample has been hit by lightning.

    Einstein struggled with his theories , especially GR, during his mid to late career. He questioned a lot of their fundamentals. He even wrote a personal letter to a friend claiming that one day his theories would likely be replaced because at least one of his assumptions is wrong. Evidence for a timeless universe is building. That is, the universe may evolve in only 3 spatial dimensions. In a timeless universe, time is independent parameter used when making measurement of things in 3D. The starlight deflection calculation that helped launch GR into stardom and replace Newtonian physics can also be done using purely Newtonian physics. Unfortunately the corrected calculation only happened recently, so it will be met with skepticism, etc...a lot more more such calculations are needed before people start to take a 3D timeless universe seriously. Whatever happens, Einstein will still be remembered, by many, as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century planet (and that is my view too).

      John Doe from the point of view of trying to explain basic physics it doesn't really matter if light is particles or waves going through the aether. Its kinda the same with Newton. His stuff works fine within limits.
      My point is that our current understanding might be the aether theory of it's day. Within our narrow context it seems to make sense but in the grand scheme of things it could still be wrong.
      For example so called 'dark energy' is not a real thing. Its just a concept physicists invented to patch some holes in the theory of relativity. Nobody has ever seen or observed 'dark energy' and its probably not even real. It may just be that the whole theory of relativity is somehow wrong in a way we dont understand and it results in these weird glitches and things working differently then they're supposed to. Still 99% of the time it appears to work fine just like Newtonian physics or even some of those aether models.

      Our current theories are actual scientific theories supported by mountains of evidence and countless experiments.
      Aether "theories" were not. That's why I said they were merely hypotheses.
      'Dark energy' is a hypothesis too, albeit one that is largely accepted as the one that fits data best so far. But it's still a hypothesized unknown form of energy ...
      So yeah, that's not exactly scientific theory material either.

      +Weilun Mo No. When the "speed of light" was determined to be a set figure is what some physicist will find to be just the figure that needs to be fixed. The equipment I have here at my house isn't good enough to tell me by exactly how much but I'm finding that the speed of light must have been based on an average of the visible spectrum. The speed that light travels faster at one end of the spectrum than the other. So, if this is true, the speed of light in an equation and a variable depending on the frequency of light you are using for accuracies sake. There is a lot of light we'll never be able to see because now that the universe is expanding at faster than the "speed of light" any light no matter how bright it is, even if it's as bright as a super nova and shining directly at us and it's generated from only a foot away from us will never be seen it because it's moving away from of us faster than the light can travel towards us.

      Almost all of the light emitted from that tiny galaxy a foot away, is seen, just because C is constant. That's why the expansion is said to be "metric". 10% of 1 foot is much less for that little photon to fly in a second than 10% of 3,000,001 kilometres. In the latter case the poor particle might face a hopeless task, indeed. That is, if Einstein was right.

From our level, matter came before the light, and is therefore faster and always a step ahead of the light (manifesting is impossible for light unless it allows itself to be condensed by dark matter in order to manifest on this plane ((fallen angels)) but the light can only do what the dark matter allows for . Anything that can potentially give light energy a platform to persuade all other revisions of itself to override the material world (everything) would give light too much influence (Jesus or some light deity) and eventually it will embody the material and light will have acquired the ability to create matter and obliterate it on the fly (like dreams, we create temporary realities based on intent, then terminate them

      But the reason they got here at the same time even though they have mass is bacause they almost ignore matter, and supernovas take a few hours to explode, so the neutrinos at the beginning of the supernova shot out of the star like it as nothing, but the photons took quite some time to leave the star as they were blocked by the matter, and so over these thousands of years the light has been catching up to the neutrinos and we happen to be very close to their point of intersection

    Neutrons are detected at the same time because neutrons are released from the source 3 hours before the explosion (When light is released).
    It's the short explanation, full explanation is enough complicated to explain here.

    I hate any reference to "proving Einstein wrong". He was a brilliant man, but he wasn't perfect. The man was wrong about lots of things because his job required him to make new conjectures on a regular basis.

    ["First, it means that time travel could become commonplace because as you approach the speed of light time slows down."]
    What really happens is: The device used to measure the passing of time underlies dilation effects, and its mass grows with growing speed. When the mass grows, the inertia grows, as well, slowing down the device's measurement - the device *seems* to run slower than a not moving device, but, in reality, it just *counts* passing time slower than its not moving counterpart.
    Time travel is a nice illusion, but assumes that one exact copy of our entire Universe exists for each yoctosecond that passed by since the beginning of time (if time has a beginning or an end...). Where should that infinite quantity of energy come from, and which cosmic force was capable to create copies of our Universe in yoctosecond intervals?
