(NO) HOPE FOR PHYSICS?

New Scientist (2005): "Einstein turned conventional physics on its head with his theories of the photoelectric effect, special relativity and general relativity. He showed that Newton had been wrong about gravity, and indeed about space and time. "This led to a whole new field of science called cosmology and to ideas such as the big bang, black holes, parallel universes and so on," says Jim Al-Khalili of the University of Surrey, who voted for Einstein. But he was one of only 13.8 per cent of Royal Society fellows to back Einstein, while the rest supported Newton."

Turning conventional physics on its head still sounded romantic in 2005 but nowadays scientists know that Einstein's idiotic concept of time, an offspring of his 1905 false constant-speed-of-light postulate, actually killed physics:

New Scientist: "Saving time: Physics killed it. Do we need it back? (...) Einstein landed the fatal blow at the turn of the 20th century." l

What scientific idea is ready for retirement? Steve Giddings: "Spacetime. Physics has always been regarded as playing out on an underlying stage of space and time. Special relativity joined these into spacetime... (...) The apparent need to retire classical spacetime as a fundamental concept is profound..." l

Nima Arkani-Hamed (06:11): "Almost all of us believe that space-time doesn't really exist, space-time is doomed and has to be replaced by some more primitive building blocks." l

"And by making the clock's tick relative - what happens simultaneously for one observer might seem sequential to another - Einstein's theory of special relativity not only destroyed any notion of absolute time but made time equivalent to a dimension in space: the future is already out there waiting for us; we just can't see it until we get there. This view is a logical and metaphysical dead end, says Smolin." l

"Was Einstein wrong? At least in his understanding of time, Smolin argues, the great theorist of relativity was dead wrong. What is worse, by firmly enshrining his error in scientific orthodoxy, Einstein trapped his successors in insoluble dilemmas..." l

So if the poll was today, 99 per cent of Royal Society fellows would vote for Newton. Including Jim Al-Khalili who has abandoned Einsteiniana's sinking ship
