In contrast with what mythology says, Einstein's approach differs
considerably from Euclid's approach. Initial hypotheses in Einstein's theory, in particular Einstein's 1905 light postulate, can only be applied in an implicit environment composed of already established true principles of the "old" physics. In the presence of such an environment the falsehood of the hypothesis does not convert the theory into something refutable through experiment. Rather, the result is much worse: the theory becomes an INCONSISTENCY. Consider a mathematical system where all initial statements are unambiguous and true, except for the result of the operation 2+2. There are two hypotheses: 2+2=4 and 2+2=5. One somehow chooses the false hypothesis 2+2=5 and obtains: (A) 3(2+2) = 3*5 = 15 (B) 3(2+2) = 6 + 6 = 12 Note that the true conclusion 3(2+2)=12 belongs to the theory initiated by the false hypothesis 2+2=5 so if an experiment tests this particular conclusion, the theory (rather, the inconsistency) would prove deceptively correct. Since the expeimental verification is unreliable in the case of inconsistency, REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM remains the only reasonable procedure leading to a falsification (naturally not used by Einsteinians). If it had been used, the following case of trapping a long pole inside a short barn would have led to an immediate refutation of Einstein's theory: http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/ph...barn_pole.html "These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn....So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors simultaneously, with your switch. Of course, you open them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the contracted pole shut up in your barn." If Einsteinians fail to reopen the doors "pretty quickly", the length L of the pole trapped inside the barn would be: (A) L = 40 because the trapped pole cannot be longer than the barn. (B) L = 80 because that is the proper length and the pole is no longer in motion. Both conclusions, L=40 and L=80, belong to Einstein's theory. Pentcho Valev |

We are talking about 21 century physics. All antinomies are possible. Thanks to a particular kind of people. I must admit you are correct here. Yes in the 21st century "theoretical science" CAN be characterized in this way. This type of science was initially created by Rudolf Clausius but then Divine Albert contributed considerably: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00000313/ Jos Uffink: "The historian of science and mathematician Truesdell made a detailed study of the historical development of thermodynamics in the period 1822-1854. He characterises the theory, even in its present state, as 'a dismal swamp of obscurity' (1980, p. 6) and 'a prime example to show that physicists are not exempt from the madness of crowds' (ibid. p. 8) ...Clausius' verbal statement of the second law makes no sense...All that remains is a Mosaic prohibition; a century of philosophers and journalists have acclaimed this commandment; a century of mathematicians have shuddered and averted their eyes from the unclean... Seven times in the past thirty years have I tried to follow the argument Clausius offers... and seven times has it blanked and gravelled me... I cannot explain what I cannot understand....This summary leads to the question whether it is fruitful to see irreversibility or time-asymmetry as the essence of the second law. Is it not more straightforward, in view of the unargued statements of Kelvin, the bold claims of Clausius and the strained attempts of Planck, to give up this idea? I believe that Ehrenfest-Afanassjewa was right in her verdict that the discussion about the arrow of time as expressed in the second law of the thermodynamics is actually a RED HERRING." http://www.aapps.org/archive/bulleti..._5_p2p3%7F.pdf John Barrow: "Einstein as Icon. How Einstein Became the Personification of Physics. Einstein restored faith in the unintelligibility of science. Everyone knew that Einstein had done something important in 1905 (and again in 1915) but almost nobody could tell you exactly what it was. When Einstein was interviewed for a Dutch newspaper in 1921, he attributed his mass appeal to the mystery of his work for the ordinary person: "Does it make a silly impression on me, here and yonder, about my theories of which they cannot understand a word? I think it is funny and also interesting to observe. I am sure that it is the mystery of non-understanding that appeals to them...it impresses them, it has the colour and the appeal of the mysterious." Pentcho Valev |

Dirk Vdm When did you measure the speed of light locally Moortel Moortel? Did you measure it non-locally? Is the speed of light variable non- locally? If it is, how can it be constant locally? Perhaps Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) and the equation c'=c+v given by Newton's emission theory of light are EQUIVALENT? Are they Moortel Moortel? Nowdays your criminal masters are masochistically interested in the emission theory: http://www.spacetimesociety.org/conf.../cprogram.html Saturday, June 14, 2008. 9:00 - 10:10 John D. Norton (Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh) - Room H 767http://www.spacetimecenter.org/conferences/2008/Norton.pdf Pentcho Valev * Measure it "non-locally"? Does it have any dimension "non-locally," Valev? Pound and Rebka measured the frequency of falling light to be: f' = f(1 + gh/c^2) In this way they indirectly mesured the SPEED of falling light, in accordance with the textbook formula: frequency = (speed of light)/(wavelength) True, the textbook formula gives two possibilities: 1. Pound nd Rebka measured the speed of light to be VARIABLE, in accorance with Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+gh/c^2). 2. Pound and Rebka measured the speed of light to be constant, in accodance with the equation c'=c. Judging from what your masters teach, Pound and Rebka mesured the speed of light to be VARIABLE: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...of_light..html Steve Carlip: "Einstein went on to discover a more general theory of relativity which explained gravity in terms of curved spacetime, and he talked about the speed of light changing in this new theory. In the 1920 book "Relativity: the special and general theory" he wrote: ". . . according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity [. . .] cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position." Since Einstein talks of velocity (a vector quantity: speed with direction) rather than speed alone, it is not clear that he meant the speed will change, but the reference to special relativity suggests that he did mean so. This interpretation is perfectly valid and makes good physical sense..." Pentcho Valev |

Perhaps physicists would have managed to get rid of Einstein's first inconsistency (special relativity) but then Divine Albert saw the danger and superimposed a second inconsistency (general relativity): http://www.logosjournal.com/issue_4.3/smolin.htm Lee Smolin: "Quantum theory was not the only theory that bothered Einstein. Few people have appreciated how dissatisfied he was with his own theories of relativity. Special relativity grew out of Einstein's insight that the laws of electromagnetism cannot depend on relative motion and that the speed of light therefore must be always the same, no matter how the source or the observer moves. Among the consequences of that theory are that energy and mass are equivalent (the now-legendary relationship E = mc2) and that time and distance are relative, not absolute. SPECIAL RELATIVITY WAS THE RESULT OF 10 YEARS OF INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE, YET EINSTEIN HAD CONVINCED HIMSELF IT WAS WRONG within two years of publishing it." http://www.pitt.edu/~jdnorton/papers...UP_TimesNR.pdf "What Can We Learn about the Ontology of Space and Time from the Theory of Relativity?", John D. Norton: "In general relativity there is no comparable sense of the constancy of the speed of light. The constancy of the speed of light is a consequence of the perfect homogeneity of spacetime presumed in special relativity. There is a special velocity at each event; homogeneity forces it to be the same velocity everywhere. We lose that homogeneity in the transition to general relativity and with it we lose the constancy of the speed of light. Such was Einstein's conclusion at the earliest moments of his preparation for general relativity. ALREADY IN 1907, A MERE TWO YEARS AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE SPECIAL THEORY, HE HAD CONCLUDED THAT THE SPEED OF LIGHT IS VARIABLE IN THE PRESENCE OF A GRAVITATIONAL FIELD." That is, in general relativity Einstein's 1905 false light postulate and its true antithesis (the speed of light is variable and obeys both Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) and the equivalent equation c'=c +v) coexist. Physicists had to give up and start singing "Divine Einstein". The world of science became "Einstein zombie world". Pentcho Valev |

Herbert Dingle's desperate fight against Divine Albert's inconsistency: http://blog.hasslberger.com/2007/02/...s_special.html "Herbert Dingle (1890 – 1978) was an English astronomer and President of the Royal Astronomical Society. He was a member of the British government eclipse expeditions of 1927 and 1932; and became Professor of Natural Philosophy, Imperial College in 1938, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, University College London in 1946–1955 and President of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1951–1953. Appointed Professor Emeritus of History and Philosophy of Science in 1955, he died in 1978. Originally a supporter of Einstein's work on the theory of relativity and an author of the textbook Relativity for All (1922), Dingle came to doubt its foundations after reading an account of the so-called twin paradox. According to this, a clock that moves relative to another will appear to run more slowly as judged by the stationary clock and inversely. Dingle claimed that Einstein's results were inconsistent with those worked out using a "commonsense" method." http://redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles...F/V15N2MCC.pdf "Professor Herbert Dingle was a long-time critic of the special theory of relativity, who believed for many years that the theory was self- contradictory. Although he was unsuccessful in persuading the scientific world of the inconsistency of the theory, his questions and arguments were not satisfactorily answered during his life. Now, thirty years after his death, the subject is of historical interest. This paper examines two main problems that have contributed to the confusion that still surrounds this issue. The first problem is the fact that some scientists answered Dingle’s Question, which is explicitly about the special theory, by invoking the general theory. It is argued that, if there is a valid answer to Dingle’s Question, it would have been valid if the same question had been asked in1905 before the general theory appeared. The second problem is that many scientists have claimed that Dingle’s thesis has been refuted by experiment, although experimental results cannot disprove the existence of an internal contradiction. An answer to Dingle’s Question is still wanting." Pentcho Valev |
