The year 1905 was a revolutionary landmark in Physics since it was the year that Albert Einstein published Special Relativity Theory in a monumental work; this theory changed geometry and the contemporary view of the universe that had prevailed for centuries. However, were there basic errors in this theory? Is the core theory of modern physics suffering from major defects in its foundational equations and documents so that Einstein’s Special Relativity equations contradict the basis of the theory itself?
Various observations made by technologists have galvanized the scientific community in that they appear to contradict Einstein. It is hinted at that there are fundamental fallacies hidden within Relativity’s basic formulae and original papers. There has even been one engineer, Michael Strauss, who has indicated that quotations from Albert Einstein’s 1905 document go against the very assumptions that the theory is built upon. He alleges that Einstein borrowed equations from Lorentz to build Special Relativity and that these equations when interpreted properly form the basis of a contradictory theory. After a century of waiting, scientists need to update their thinking on this theory with a complete review of the history leading up to, during and after the 1905 dawn of Special Relativity.
As over 100 years have now passed from the day of the original release of Special Relativity, a comprehensive study of the original assumptions, documents and concepts which led to the acceptance of this theory is timely and necessary. Students globally are taught the ideas of Special Relativity; however, in this instruction, there is no critical review of Relativity, its foundational document or the assumptions directly inscribed therein by Albert Einstein. For those who have no direct knowledge of these controversies, Relativity Theory consists of two main theories: General Relativity and Special Relativity.
First, Dr. Einstein formulated Special Relativity from the work of Fitzgerald, Lorentz and Voigt as well as others. In this venture into a brave new world, Einstein furthered several mind-bending and disputable concepts that are accepted as fact in the modern world. The contraction of space, time slowing down on moving systems and the mass energy equivalence formulated in the equation E=mc2. It was this last expression that was the shining star for the new theories in addition to the two postulates: 1) light speed is a constant for all observers and 2) physical laws are the same from every perspective. Another predicted effect was an increase in mass as an object speeds up. Readers should be cautioned that there have been many ‘alleged’ validations of the ideas of special relativity.
Particle accelerators have sped particles to extremely high velocities that apparently provide validity to Einstein and his theory as well as to Lorentz, Poincare, Fitzgerald and the many others who worked on this idea. Despite all the overwhelming evidence however, there are doubts in the scientific community that has never totally given up the comfortable world of Newton. This can be seen in that they refer to Newton’s ‘Law’ of Gravitation whilst Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR) are relegated to the status of ‘theory of.’ This is a polite way of indicating suspicion that something is not sound in this theoretical construction.
He did this by improving upon his first treatise a few years later with the General theory of Relativity of 1915-1916. Proposing that space is curved by mass, he thereby mathematically described various anomalous effects that were subsequently ‘allegedly’ confirmed by observations. Additionally, his expressions predicted the motion of stellar objects having a direct correlation with the indicated curvature of space. In conclusion, it should be understood that our understanding of the cosmos is never going to be what it once was after so many poisonous years. Even with Einstein’s propaganda indicating a constant light speed, some engineers and technology professionals have found evidence that light is not moving at a constant speed (Professor Paul Davies, University of Arizona). Additionally, one engineer has also shown that there are various profound defects in the fundamental equations of the 1905 treatise and the entire Special Relativity formulation. If accepted by the scientific community at large a counter-revolution in physics would have begun that would require a major reevaluation of many scientific concepts.
