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.
