SANITY IN EINSTEINIANA'S SCHISOPHRENIC WORLD
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal...1831761a0.html
Nature 183, 1761 (20 June 1959) Herbert Dingle: "AS is well known, Einstein's special theory of relativity rests on two postulates: (1) the postulate of relativity; (2) the postulate of constant light velocity, which says "that light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body". For the first postulate there is much experimental support; for the second, none." http://blog.hasslberger.com/Dingle_S...Crossroads.pdf Herbert Dingle, SCIENCE AT THE CROSSROADS "According to the special relativity theory, as expounded by Einstein in his original paper, two similar, regularly-running clocks, A and B, in uniform relative motion, must work at different rates.....How is the slower-working clock distinguished? The supposition that the theory merely requires each clock to APPEAR to work more slowly from the point of view of the other is ruled out not only by its many applications and by the fact that the theory would then be useless in practice, but also by Einstein's own examples, of which it is sufficient to cite the one best known and most often claimed to have been indirectly established by experiment, viz. 'Thence' [i.e. from the theory he had just expounded, which takes no account of possible effects of accleration, gravitation, or any difference at all between the clocks except their state of uniform motion] 'we conclude that a balance-clock at the equator must go more slowly, by a very small amount, than a precisely similar clock situated at one of the poles under otherwise identical conditions.' Applied to this example, the question is: what entitled Einstein to conclude FROM HIS THEORY that the equatorial, and not the polar, clock worked more slowly?" http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/c...&filetype=.pdf Herbert Dingle: "...the internal consistency of the restricted relativity theory seems questionable if the postulate of the constancy of the velocity of light is given its usual interpretation... (...) These difficulties are removed if the postulate be interpreted MERELY as requiring that the velocity of light relative to its actual material source shall always be c..." http://www.worldnpa.org/pdf/abstracts/abstracts_215.pdf Herbert Dingle: "The special relativity theory requires different rates of ageing to result from motion which belongs no more to one twin than to the other: that is impossible. It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of this result, for this theory is, by common consent, "taken for granted" in Max Born's words, in all modern atomic research. and it determines the course of practically all current developments in physical science, theoretical and experimental, whether concerned with the laboratory or with the universe. To continue to use the theory without discrimination, therefore, is not only to follow a false trail in the investigation of nature, but also to risk physical disaster on the unforeseeable scale... (...) But it is now clear that the interpretation of those [Lorentz] equations as constituting a basis for a new kinematics, displacing that of Galileo and Newton, which is the essence of the special relativity theory, leads inevitably to impossibilities and therefore cannot be true. Either there is an absolute standard of rest - call it the ether as with Maxwell. or the universe as with Mach, or absolute space as with Newton, or what you will or else ALL MOTION, INCLUDING THAT WITH THE SPEED OF LIGHT, IS RELATIVE, AS WITH RITZ. It remains to be determined, by a valid experimental determination of THE TRUE RELATION OF THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT TO THAT OF ITS SOURCE, which of these alternatives is the true one. In the meantime, the fiction of "space-time" as an objective element of nature, and the associated pseudo-concepts such as "time-dilation", that violate "saving common sense", should be discharged from physics and philosophy..." http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/...9-p361-367.pdf RADAR TESTING OF THE RELATIVE VELOCITY OF LIGHT IN SPACE Bryan G. Wallace, Spectroscopy Letters 1969 pages 361-367 ABSTRACT: "Published interplanetary radar data presents evidence that the relative velocity of light in space is c+v and not c." INTRODUCTION: "There are three main theories about the relativity velocity of light in space. The Newtonian corpuscular theory is relativistic in the Galilean sense and postulates that the velocity is c+v relative to the observer. The ether theory postulates that the velocity is c relative to the ether. The Einstein theory postulates that the velocity is c relative to the observer. The Michelson-Morley experiment presents evidence against the ether theory and for the c+v theory. The c theory explains the results of this experiment by postulating ad hoc properties of space and time..." http://www.ekkehard-friebe.de/wallace.htm Bryan Wallace: "There is a popular argument that the world's oldest profession is sexual prostitution. I think that it is far more likely that the oldest profession is scientific prostitution, and that it is still alive and well, and thriving in the 20th century. I suspect that long before sex had any commercial value, the prehistoric shamans used their primitive knowledge to acquire status, wealth, and political power, in much the same way as the dominant scientific and religious politicians of our time do. (...) Because many of the dominant theories of our time do not follow the rules of science, they should more properly be labeled pseudoscience. The people who tend to believe more in theories than in the scientific method of testing theories, and who ignore the evidence against the theories they believe in, should be considered pseudoscientists and not true scientists. To the extent that the professed beliefs are based on the desire for status, wealth, or political reasons, these people are scientific prostitutes. (...) Einstein's special relativity theory with his second postulate that the speed of light in space is constant is the linchpin that holds the whole range of modern physics theories together. Shatter this postulate, and modern physics becomes an elaborate farce! (...) The speed of light is c+v. (...) I expect that the scientists of the future will consider the dominant abstract physics theories of our time in much the same light as we now consider the Medieval theories of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin or that the Earth stands still and the Universe moves around it."

http://www.ufodigest.com/article/exp...ory-everything
Roland Michel: "Consider the famous "Twin Paradox" thought experiment, where a speeding astronaut returns to Earth to discover he is much younger than his Earthbound twin. A logical flaw in this paradox claim has been reluctantly but increasingly acknowledged over the years, since everything is relative in Special Relativity theory, so either twin could be considered speeding or stationary, removing any absolute age difference. But, should this flaw be pointed out, focus is invariably switched away from Special Relativity since only the astronaut underwent actual physical acceleration in his travels, which is instead the realm of General Relativity. This switch is generally presented as a resolution to the issue - but is it? First, this switch to General Relativity invalidates the still often-claimed support for Special Relativity from both this famous thought experiment and from all related physical experiments, such as speeding particles in accelerators, or atomic clocks on circling airplanes or satellites. Yet this fact is typically neither discussed nor even acknowledged, leaving many with the impression that the Twin Paradox and related physical experiments still fully apply to and support Special Relativity theory. (...) So, according to both the "everything is relative" aspect of Special Relativity and the Principle of Equivalence in General Relativity there would appear to be no such phenomenon as "relativistic time dilation", despite widespread citation of iconic theoretical and experimental claims to the contrary." http://homepage.ntlworld.com/academ/...elativity.html What is wrong with relativity? G. BURNISTON BROWN Bulletin of the Institute of Physics and Physical Society, Vol. 18 (March, 1967) pp.7177 "A more intriguing instance of this so-called 'time dilation' is the well-known 'twin paradox', where one of two twins goes for a journey and returns to find himself younger than his brother who remained behind. This case allows more scope for muddled thinking because acceleration can be brought into the discussion. Einstein maintained the greater youthfulness of the travelling twin, and admitted that it contradicts the principle of relativity, saying that acceleration must be the cause (Einstein 1918). In this he has been followed by relativists in a long controversy in many journals, much of which ably sustains the character of earlier speculations which Born describes as "monstrous" (Born 1956). Surely there are three conclusive reasons why acceleration can have nothing to do with the time dilation calculated: (i) By taking a sufficiently long journey the effects of acceleration at the start, turn-round and end could be made negligible compared with the uniform velocity time dilation which is proportional to the duration of the journey. (ii) If there is no uniform time dilation, and the effect, if any, is due to acceleration, then the use of a formula depending only on the steady velocity and its duration cannot be justified. (iii) There is, in principle, no need for acceleration. Twin A can get his velocity V before synchronizing his clock with that of twin B as he passes. He need not turn round: he could be passed by C who has a velocity V in the opposite direction, and who adjusts his clock to that of A as he passes. When C later passes B they can compare clock readings. As far as the theoretical experiment is concerned, C's clock can be considered to be A's clock returning without acceleration since, by hypothesis, all the clocks have the same rate when at rest together and change with motion in the same way independently of direction. [fn. I am indebted to Lord Halsbury for pointing this out to me.] (...) The three examples which have been dealt with above show clearly that the difficulties are not paradoxes) but genuine contradictions which follow inevitably from the principle of relativity and the physical interpretations of the Lorentz transformations. The special theory of relativity is therefore untenable as a physical theory." http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/con...ent=a909857880 Peter Hayes "The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock Paradox" : Social Epistemology, Volume 23, Issue 1 January 2009, pages 57-78 "This first appearance of what has become known as time dilation in Einstein's work requires careful attention. In particular, anyone who assumes that the special theory deals only with uniform movement in a straight line and is thus a precisely delineated subset of the later general theory, will wish to explore why Einstein extends his conclusions to polygonal and circular movements. It is by no means "at once apparent" that what is true for a straight line is true for a polygon, nor that what has been "proved" for a polygon applies to a circle. The principle of relativity introduced at the outset of the 1905 paper implicitly limited the special theory to reference frames moving at a constant speed in a straight line with respect to one another. In later work, Einstein explicitly stated that the special theory applied only to a reference frame "in a state of uniform rectilinear and non rotary motion" in respect of a second reference frame, in contrast to the general theory that dealt with reference frames regardless of their state of motion (Einstein 1920, 61). Acceleration, therefore, would appear to be the province of the general theory. A polygon, however, would seem to necessarily involve acceleration whenever there is a abrupt alteration in the direction of travel. Even more confusingly, a circular path, far from allowing movement at a "constant velocity", has a velocity that continually changes. Einstein, it is argued, wished to minimise the significance of acceleration - as he did not mention acceleration at all in the passage, he could hardly be said to do otherwise (Essen 1971, 13). With respect to the transition from the straight line to the polygon, this assumption is corroborated by comments Einstein made in 1911 when he said that the larger the polygon the less significant the impact of a sudden change of direction would be. Einstein 1911: "The [travelling] clock runs slower if it is in uniform motion, but if it undergoes a change of direction as a result of a jolt, then the theory of relativity does not tell us what happens. The sudden change of direction might produce a sudden change in the position of the hands of the clock. However, the longer the clock is moving rectilinearly and uniformly with a given speed in a forward motion, i.e., the larger the dimensions of the polygon, the smaller must be the effect of such a hypothetical sudden change." (Einstein et al. 1993, 354) (...) The argument that the prediction of time difference between a moving and a stationary clock violates the principle of relativity is well known. Certainly, it must have become known to Einstein, for in 1918 he created a dialogue in which "Kritikus" voiced exactly this objection (Einstein 1918). In response to this criticism, Einstein underwent a volte-face, reversing his reasoning in 1905 and 1911. The sudden change in direction of the moving clock, far from having unknown effects that needed to be minimised, was now said to provide the entire explanation for the change. Instead of imagining a moving clock travelling in a huge polygon or circle to make sudden changes in direction as insignificant as possible or the journey as smooth as possible, Einstein imagined an out and back journey. He then explained that the slow-down in the moving clock occurred during the sudden jolt when it went into reverse. (...) Given Einsteins argument in 1918, it seems inescapable that his 1905 prediction of time dilation was not, in fact, a "peculiar consequence" of his forgoing account of special relativity (Einstein 1923, 49). When it is also remembered that in 1904 Lorentz deduced the existence of "local time", it is reasonable to conclude that the prediction that the clocks would end up showing different times can be reached without entering into Einstein's reasoning on the special theory at all. The supporters of Einstein, however, generally maintain that one needs to move beyond the special theory to the general theory to understand why the times shown by the clocks would be different. However, as Einstein's prediction preceded the general theory, this argument is problematic (Lovejoy 1931, 159; Essen 1971, 14). It has been seen that: (a) in 1911 Einstein explicitly rules out the ability of the special theory of relativity to say what happened if the moving clock suddenly changed direction, and (b) in 1918 Einstein tacitly admitted that his explanation of the clock paradox in 1905 was incorrect by transforming the polygonal or circular journey of the moving clock into an out and back journey. If the general theory is necessary to explain the clock paradox, then Einstein must have (a) predicted the effects of acceleration in 1905 even though he did not incorporate them into his theory for another decade, and (b) hidden his intuition by describing a journey that discounted their significance. (...) There is, nonetheless, some divergence about how to resolve the clock paradox amongst mainstream scientists and philosophers who address the issue. The majority suggest that (a) the general theory is required to resolve the paradox because like "Kritikus" they have deduced - quite correctly - that it cannot be explained by the special theory. However, a minority believe that (b) the paradox can be explained by the special theory because they have deduced - again quite correctly - that it is incredible to suppose that only the general theory can explain a prediction ostensibly arising from the prior special theory. Each deduction, considered in isolation, is allowable within the mainstream; what is not permitted is to bring the two of them together to conclude that ( c) neither the special nor the general theory explains time dilation. (...) The prediction that clocks will move at different rates is particularly well known, and the problem of explaining how this can be so without violating the principle of relativity is particularly obvious. The clock paradox, however, is only one of a number of simple objections that have been raised to different aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity. (Much of this criticism is quite apart from and often predates the apparent contradiction between relativity theory and quantum mechanics.) It is rare to find any attempt at a detailed rebuttal of these criticisms by professional physicists. However, physicists do sometimes give a general response to criticisms that relativity theory is syncretic by asserting that Einstein is logically consistent, but that to explain why is so difficult that critics lack the capacity to understand the argument. In this way, the handy claim that there are unspecified, highly complex resolutions of simple apparent inconsistencies in the theory can be linked to the charge that antirelativists have only a shallow understanding of the matter, probably gleaned from misleading popular accounts of the theory. The claim that the theory of relativity is logically consistent for reasons that are too complex for non- professionals to grasp is not only convenient, but is rhetorically unassailable - as whenever a critic disproves one argument, the professional physicist can allude to another more abstruse one. Einstein's transformation of the clock paradox from a purported expression of the special theory to a purported expression of the much more complicated general theory is one example of such a defence. A more recent example is found in Alan Sokal and Jean Bricmont's scornful account of Henri Bergson's attempt to investigate the clock/ twin paradox. Like "Kritikus", Bergson argued that the asymmetric outcome of the paradox was incompatible with the principle of relativity. Like Einstein, Sokal and Bricmont explain that Bergson has failed to recognise the asymmetric forces of acceleration at work. They go on to claim that the special theory tells us what happens under these circumstances and that the general theory only laboriously leads to the same conclusion. The suggestion that to vindicate this claim would be laborious functions in the same way as Einstein's elusive "calculations"; that is, it is not an explanation but an explanation-stopper. Sokal and Bricmont do not demonstrate how either the special theory or the general theory explain time dilation. Nor do they explain how their claim can be reconciled with Einstein explicitly limiting the special theory to objects travelling at a uniform velocity, nor account for why the circular journey of 1905 became the out and back journey of 1918. (...) Einstein's theory of relativity fails to reconcile the contradictory principles on which it is based. Rather than combining incompatible assumptions into an integrated whole, the theory allows the adept to step between incompatible assumptions in a way that hides these inconsistencies. The clock paradox is symptomatic of Einstein's failure, and its purported resolution is illustrative of the techniques that can be used to mask this failure. To uncover to the logical contradictions in the theory of relativity presents no very difficult task. However, the theory is impervious to such attacks as it is shielded by a professional constituency of supporters whose interests and authority are bound up in maintaining its inflated claims. Relativity theory, in short, is an ideology." Pentcho Valev |

"An open letter to Professor Stephen Hawking by John Doan, Melbourne, 29 August 97....There's only one thing that I want to raise with you in this letter, and it's Einstein's second postulate. Why can't you step out from Einstein's shadow and change relativity, Professor Hawking? Why should you accept Einstein's second postulate that the speed of light is absolute, resulting all paradoxes about time dilation? Why should you accept that c + v = c, in the sense that a light spent from Earth to a spaceship has to be measured as c regardless how fast the spaceship is travelling relative to Earth? How much evidence have you truly seen?....Your students would still keep asking the same questions your teachers have asked before. Many people are still confused. Some understand but cannot explain to idiots. Some don't understand but have stopped asking to stop being called idiots, too. And why should we deserve this? Why should we waste time imagining what our world would be like since Einstein said light is absolute? Why don't we go back and ask what if Einstein is wrong, that light is not absolute, that in fact c + c = 2c?....I have a dream, that one day Professor Hawking would write the first non-Einstein relativity book with an opposite second postulate, and I would be one of first readers congratulating you for helping me understand it.....If you say c + c = 2c, you certainly could make more sense than Einstein's postulate saying c + c = c. Yet where is non-Einstein relativity? Why can't you invent it, Professor Hawking? What has stopped you?" http://www.dormirenfrance.fr/relativ...nt-s107511.htm "Comme c'est les 100 ans de la version originale de la relativité restreinte, une révision des hypothèses originales, des documents et des idées qui ont conduit à l'acceptation de cette théorie est opportune et justifiée. Chaque année, des millions d'étudiants sont enseignées cette théorie sans une analyse critique de la relativité. Théorie de la relativité se compose de ses deux variantes spécial relativité et la relativité générale et est considéré comme la pierre angulaire de la physique moderne. Albert Einstein a emprunté des idées de Fitzgerald, Lorentz et Voigt pour créer un nouveau concept de l'univers. Sa première uvre à cet égard plus tard, vint à être connu comme la relativité restreinte et contient de nombreuses idées controversées qui sont aujourd'hui considérées comme un axiome. Parmi ceux-ci sont la longueur Contraction, Dilatation du temps, le paradoxe des jumeaux et l'équivalence de masse et l'énergie résumées dans l'équation E = mc2. (...) Toutefois, des doutes subsistent dans la communauté scientifique qui n'ont jamais totalement abandonné le confort d'une conception newtonienne du monde. (...) À la suite de ces idées, notre compréhension de la géométrie, les mathématiques, la physique, la science et l'univers ne serait jamais la même.

Pour lui, le bâtiment est contractée à la moitié de sa longueur. Comment une perche de 20 mètres pourrait-elle entrer dans un bâtiment de 5 mètres ?

Fred Hutchison: "Like bronze idols that are hollow inside, Einstein built a cluster of "Potemkin villages," which are false fronts with nothing behind them. Grigori Potemkin (1739-1791) was a general-field marshal, Russian statesman, and favorite of Empress Catherine the Great. He is alleged to have built facades of non-existent villages along desolate stretches of the Dnieper River to impress Catherine as she sailed to the Crimea in 1787. Actors posing as happy peasants stood in front of these pretty stage sets and waved to the pleased Empress. This incident reminds me of the story of Eleanor Roosevelt's Moscow tour guide who showed her the living quarters of communist party bosses and claimed that these were the apartments of the average Russian worker. The incredibly gullible first lady was delighted. Like Catherine, the sentimental Eleanor was prone to wishful thinking and was easily deceived. What has all this to do with Einstein? The science establishment has a powerful romantic desire to believe in Einstein. Therefore, they are not only fooled by Einstein's tricks, they are prepared to defend his Potemkin villages."

Jacques Maritain, Raïssa Maritain, Jean-Marie Allion Oeuvres complètes, Volume 3, pp. 299-300: Jacques Maritain: "C'est une chose redoutable pour une civilisation d'avoir des savants privés de bon sens. Et que dire des vulgarisateurs de la science ! L'intelligence commune pourra-t-elle mieux que tant de savants distinguer la science proprement dite d'avec la pseudo-philosophie qui la parasite, saura-t-elle comprendre qu'une théorie et des formules peuvent coller avec les faits sans pour cela nous livrer le réel physique en lui-même? En tout cas, l'einsteinisme philosophique, dont on l'empoisonne systématiquement, est pour elle un agent de désorganisation d'une puissance extrême. Si la nouvelle "conception du monde" a, par accident, - en écrabouillant un grand nombre de ces dogmes qu'on regardait comme intangibles depuis les fondateurs de la mécanique classique, - l'avantage de montrer de façon palpable la précarité de ce que le public regarde comme "la Science", par contre elle tend de soi à ce résultat, d'habituer les gens à accepter l'absurde et à perdre toute confiance dans le sens commun, - c'est-à- dire, en définitive, dans l'intelligence et dans notre nature elle- même ; et l'on ne peut imaginer pire dégâts. C'est la généralisation, sur une grande échelle, de l'opération tentée par Kant et ses successeurs sur les principes suprêmes de la raison ; amener l'homme à douter de l'évidence rationnelle, d'abord en ce qui concerne l'Être divin, la Réalité par excellence, ensuite en ce qui concerne toute réalité, et le monde même de la science positive. Selon le mot de M. Langevin, c'est une amputation, non pas de préjugés hérités du langage des Grecs (qui ont bon dos), mais une amputation de la faculté intellective elle-même. Il y a quelques années, on s'amusait à répéter : Défends ta peau contre ton médecin. Le monde moderne est contraint de se dire à lui- même, et c'est moins drôle : Défends ta raison contre tes savants. La suprématie des mathématiques depuis trois siècles n'a pas tourné au bien de l'esprit. Il ne s'agit plus aujourd'hui de se saisir de l'être créé, voire de l'épuiser par l'intelligence ; il s'agit de le reconstruire librement, et de jouer au démiurge mathématicien : dum deus calculat, fit mundus. Ce jeu créateur intéresse plus que le vrai. Un algébriste y réussit d'ailleurs bien plus aisément encore qu'un métaphysicien : faute de Spinoza, nous avons Einstein, et tout un peuple court après lui. La science physico-mathématique, mal entendue, achève ainsi de faire perdre à la raison le goût de l'être [c'est maintenant le goût du quantitatif] ; exerçant sur elle un empire tyrannique ; par son illusoire altitude et sa fausse délectation elle la dégoûte de la sagesse. En même temps elle met le monde sensible au service de nos désirs. La science, même la plus mélangée d'hypothétique et de probable, même la moins élevée en intellectualité, la science est chose bonne en elle- même, et qui détient une étincelle divine. On a vu toutefois ce qu'elle peut produire, lorsqu'elle est employée par l'homme, en fait de ruines matérielles et de destructions sanglantes. Les désastres qu'en usant d'elle les apprentis sorciers peuvent provoquer dans l'ordre de l'esprit, pour être invisibles, ne sont pas moins énormes." Pentcho Valev |

SANITY IN EINSTEINIANA'S SCHISOPHRENIC WORLD
Partial sanity in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world: the speed of
light does vary with the speed of the observer (sane) but continues to be independent of the speed of the emitter (insane): http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/bethell4.1.1.html Tom Bethell: "Einstein postulated - assumed - that the speed of light is a constant irrespective of the motion, not just of the light source, but also of the observer. And that "observer" part was very hard to accept. A sound wave travels at a constant speed in air (of a given temperature and density) whatever the motion of the sound source. Sound from an airplane travels forward at a speed that is unaffected by the speed of the plane. But if you travel toward that approaching sound wave then you must ADD your speed to that of the plane's sound wave if you are to know the speed with which it approaches you." http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/roger/PHY.../lecture18.pdf Roger Barlow: "Now suppose the source is fixed but the observer is moving towards the source, with speed v. In time t, ct/(lambda) waves pass a fixed point. A moving point adds another vt/(lambda). So f'=(c +v)/(lambda)." http://www-physics.ucsd.edu/students.../lecture16.pdf Convention we will choose: u = velocity of observer or source v = velocity of wave Moving Observer Observer approaching: f'=(1/T')=(v+u)/(lambda) Observer receding: f'=(1/T')=(v-u)/(lambda) http://www.expo-db.be/ExposPrecedent...%20Doppler.pdf 6. Source immobile - Observateur en mouvement La distance entre les crêtes, la longueur d'onde lambda ne change pas. Mais la vitesse des crêtes par rapport à l'observateur change ! L'observateur se rapproche de la source f' = V'/(lambda) f' = f (1 + Vo/V) L'observateur s'éloigne de la source f' = f (1 - Vo/V) http://www.eng.uwi.tt/depts/elec/sta...relativity.pdf The Invalidation of a Sacred Principle of Modern Physics Stephan J.G. Gift "For a stationary observer O, the stationary light source S emits light at speed c, wavelength Lo, and frequency Fo given by Fo=c/Lo. If the observer moves toward S at speed v, then again based on classical analysis, the speed of light relative to the moving observer is (c + v) and not c as required by Einstein's law of light propagation. Hence the observer intercepts wave-fronts of light at a frequency fA, which is higher than Fo, as is observed, and is given by fA = (c+v)/Lo Fo. (...) In light of this elementary result invalidating STR, it is difficult to understand why this invalid theory has been (and continues to be) accepted for the past 100 years." Pentcho Valev |

SANITY IN EINSTEINIANA'S SCHISOPHRENIC WORLD

N. Martin Gwynne: "Length shrinks, mass increases, time shrinks, straight lines form circles. Constants, in fact, cease to be constants and nature is now seen not to act in accordance with nature. How is all this done? Where is the fallacy in the equation which allows the mathematics to prove the impossible? How is the conjuring trick achieved? It is done by simple hoax and elaborate fraud. Let us examine both. No apology is needed for describing Einstein's achievement as a conjuring trick. Conjuring tricks are accomplished by illusion, such as sleight-of-hand, which, without the assistance of misdirection, would be exposed in an instant; yet hours can be spent staring at them without seeing wherein the fallacy lies. Let us confront ourselves with the problem facing the swindlers. How can we demonstrate to the geniuses in the scientific professions and to the gullible masses that three constants - length, mass and time - are in fact not constants but variables? The answer is simple and beautiful, even though it could never have served until our own lunatic century. Choose a FOURTH element, which clearly is a variable, such as the speed of light; describe it as - or rather, "postulate" (Einstein’s term) that it is - a constant; forbear to fear - science has travelled far since the days of Euclid - that anything so rigorous as self- evident truth will be required of our postulate; and now crank out some mathematics. And, naturally, we shall find that if the variable is falsely inserted into the calculations AS A CONSTANT, the mathematics cannot fail to demonstrate that the constants are variables."

POUR EN FINIR AVEC EINSTEIN Abbé Georges de Nantes: "Écoutons Lévy-Leblond : «Le génie d'Einstein fut de mettre en cause les notions de base d'espace et de temps elles- mêmes (bigre !). Il inversa la démarche : au lieu d'expliquer la constance apparente de la vitesse de la lumière (par quelque cause physique particulière), il la prit comme point de départ et bâtit sur cette hypothèse une nouvelle théorie de l'espace et du temps.» (Lévy- Leblond, p. 419) Mais c'est absurde ! «Qu'on le tourne et retourne comme on voudra, il faut avouer que c'est là un pur non- sens.» (Maritain, Réflexions sur l'intelligence, p. 215) Ce n'est plus la vitesse du mobile qui résulte de l'espace et du temps, ce sont l'espace et le temps qui se contractent ou se dilatent, pour laisser à l'objet sa vitesse constante, invariable, insurpassable, absolue !"

Pour la Science: Raconte-moi un chercheur : Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud http://irfu.cea.fr/Phocea/file.php?f...TE-052-456.pdf Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud Relativité: Les preuves étaient fausses http://www.cieletespace.fr/evenement...taient-fausses Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud: "L'expédition britannique envoie deux équipes indépendantes sur le trajet de l'éclipse : l'une dirigée par Andrew Crommelin dans la ville de Sobral, dans le nord du Brésil, l'autre conduite par Eddington lui-même sur l'île de Principe, en face de Libreville, au Gabon. Le matériel embarqué est des plus sommaires au regard des moyens actuels : une lunette astronomique de seulement 20 cm de diamètre en chaque lieu, avec un instrument de secours de 10 cm à Sobral. Pour éviter l'emploi d'une monture mécanique trop lourde à transporter, la lumière est dirigée vers les lunettes par de simples miroirs mobiles, ce qui se révélera être une bien mauvaise idée. La stratégie est assez complexe. Il s'agit d'exposer des plaques photographiques durant l'éclipse pour enregistrer la position d'un maximum d'étoiles autour du Soleil, puis de comparer avec des plaques témoins de la même région du ciel obtenues de nuit, quelques mois plus tard. La différence des positions entre les deux séries de plaques, avec et sans le Soleil, serait la preuve de l'effet de la relativité et le résultat est bien sûr connu à l'avance. Problème non négligeable : la différence attendue est minuscule. Au maximum, au bord même du Soleil, l'écart prévu est seulement de un demi dix- millième de degré, soit très précisément 1,75 seconde d'arc (1,75"), correspondant à l'écart entre les deux bords d'une pièce de monnaie observée à 3 km de distance ! Or, quantités d'effets parasites peuvent contaminer les mesures, la qualité de l'émulsion photographique, les variations dans l'atmosphère terrestre, la dilatation des miroirs... Le jour J, l'équipe brésilienne voit le ciel se dégager au dernier moment mais Eddington n'aperçoit l'éclipse qu'à travers les nuages ! Sa quête est très maigre, tout juste deux plaques sur lesquelles on distingue à peine cinq étoiles. Pressé de rentrer en Angleterre, Eddington ne prend même pas la précaution d'attendre les plaques témoins. Les choses vont beaucoup mieux à Sobral : 19 plaques avec plus d'une dizaine d'étoiles et huit plaques prises avec la lunette de secours. L'équipe reste sur place deux mois pour réaliser les fameuses plaques témoins et, le 25 août, tout le monde est en Angleterre. Eddington se lance dans des calculs qu'il est le seul à contrôler, décidant de corriger ses propres mesures avec des plaques obtenues avec un autre instrument, dans une autre région du ciel, autour d'Arcturus. Il conclut finalement à une déviation comprise entre 1,31" et 1,91" : le triomphe d'Einstein est assuré ! Très peu sûr de sa méthode, Eddington attend anxieusement les résultats de l'autre expédition qui arrivent en octobre, comme une douche froide : suivant une méthode d'analyse rigoureuse, l'instrument principal de Sobral a mesuré une déviation de seulement 0,93". La catastrophe est en vue. S'ensuivent de longues tractations entre Eddington et Dyson, directeurs respectifs des observatoires de Cambridge et de Greenwich. On repêche alors les données de la lunette de secours de Sobral, qui a le bon goût de produire comme résultat un confortable 1,98", et le tour de passe-passe est joué. Dans la publication historique de la Royal Society, on lit comme justification une simple note : "Il reste les plaques astrographiques de Sobral qui donnent une déviation de 0,93", discordantes par une quantité au-delà des limites des erreurs accidentelles. Pour les raisons déjà longuement exposées, peu de poids est accordé à cette détermination." Plus loin, apparaît la conclusion catégorique: "Les résultats de Sobral et Principe laissent peu de doute qu'une déviation de la lumière existe au voisinage du Soleil et qu'elle est d'une amplitude exigée par la théorie de la relativité généralisée d'Einstein." Les données gênantes ont donc tout simplement été escamotées." http://www.cieletespace.fr/evenement...taient-fausses Jean-Marc Bonnet-Bidaud: "L'épilogue du dernier test de la relativité, celui de l'orbite de Mercure, est encore plus passionnant. Ce fut en réalité un test a posteriori de la théorie, puisque la prédiction a fait suite à l'observation et ne l'a pas précédée. L'accord est stupéfiant. Le décalage observé dans la position de Mercure est de 43,11" par siècle, tandis que la prédiction de la relativité est de 42,98" par siècle ! Cette révision de l'horloge cosmique est toujours considérée comme le grand succès d'Einstein, mais elle est encore sous l'épée de Damoclès. En effet, des scientifiques soupçonnent que le Soleil pourrait ne pas être rigoureusement sphérique et un "aplatissement" réel introduirait une correction supplémentaire. La précision actuelle deviendrait alors le talon d'Achille compromettant le bel accord de la théorie." http://www.cieletespace.fr/evenement...taient-fausses Jean-Marc Bonnet Bidaud: "Autour de l'étoile brillante Sirius, on découvre une petite étoile, Sirius B, à la fois très chaude et très faiblement lumineuse. Pour expliquer ces deux particularités, il faut supposer que l'étoile est aussi massive que le Soleil et aussi petite qu'une planète comme la Terre. C'est Eddington lui-même qui aboutit à cette conclusion dont il voit vite l'intérêt : avec de telles caractéristiques, ces naines blanches sont extrêmement denses et leur gravité très puissante. Le décalage vers le rouge de la gravitation est donc 100 fois plus élevé que sur le Soleil. Une occasion inespérée pour mesurer enfin quelque chose d'appréciable. Eddington s'adresse aussitôt à Walter Adams, directeur de l'observatoire du mont Wilson, en Californie, afin que le télescope de 2,5 m de diamètre Hooker entreprenne les vérifications. Selon ses estimations, basées sur une température de 8 000 degrés de Sirius B, mesurée par Adams lui-même, le décalage vers le rouge prédit par la relativité, en s'élevant à 20 km/s, devrait être facilement mesurable. Adams mobilise d'urgence le grand télescope et expose 28 plaques photographiques pour réaliser la mesure. Son rapport, publié le 18 mai 1925, est très confus car il mesure des vitesses allant de 2 à 33 km/s. Mais, par le jeu de corrections arbitraires dont personne ne comprendra jamais la logique, le décalage passe finalement à 21 km/s, plus tard corrigé à 19 km/s, et Eddington de conclure : "Les résultats peuvent être considérés comme fournissant une preuve directe de la validité du troisième test de la théorie de la relativité générale." Adams et Eddington se congratulent, ils viennent encore de "prouver" Einstein. Ce résultat, pourtant faux, ne sera pas remis en cause avant 1971. Manque de chance effectivement, la première mesure de température de Sirius B était largement inexacte : au lieu des 8 000 degrés envisagés par Eddington, l'étoile fait en réalité près de 30 000 degrés. Elle est donc beaucoup plus petite, sa gravité est plus intense et le décalage vers le rouge mesurable est de 89 km/s. C'est ce qu'aurait dû trouver Adams sur ses plaques s'il n'avait pas été "influencé" par le calcul erroné d'Eddington. L'écart est tellement flagrant que la suspicion de fraude a bien été envisagée."

"In sum, Einstein rejected the emission hypothesis prior to 1905 not because of any direct empirical evidence against it, but because it seemed to involve too many theoretical and mathematical complications. By contrast, Ritz was impressed by the lack of empirical evidence against the emission hypothesis, and he was not deterred by the mathematical difficulties it involved. It seemed to Ritz far more reasonable to assume, in the interest of the "economy" of scientific concepts, that the speed of light depends on the speed of its source, like any other projectile, rather than to assume or believe, with Einstein, that its speed is independent of the motion of its source even though it is not a wave in a medium; that nothing can go faster than light; that the length and mass of any body varies with its velocity; that there exist no rigid bodies; that duration and simultaneity are relative concepts; that the basic parallelogram law for the addition of velocities is not exactly valid; and so forth. Ritz commented that "it is a curious thing, worthy of remark, that only a few years ago one would have thought it sufficient to refute a theory to show that it entails even one or another of these consequences...." Yet schizophrenia was to triumph over sanity: "Ritz est déjà trop faible pour enseigner, et le poste est finalement donné à Einstein": http://www.savs.ch/fr/component/docm...ire-de-la-savs Walther Ritz, Une contribution valaisanne au développement de la physique au début du XXe siècle Catherine Pralong-Fauchère "Sa dernière année de vie est prolifique du point de vue scientifique. Sa réputation s'accroît et l'université de Zurich le considère comme le meilleur parmi 9 candidats possibles pour sa nouvelle chaire de physique théorique. Cependant, Ritz est déjà trop faible pour enseigner, et le poste est finalement donné à Einstein. En avril, Ritz reçoit la visite d'Henri Poincaré qui s'excuse au nom de l'Académie des Sciences de Paris de ne pas lui avoir attribué 2 ans plus tôt le Prix Vaillant, promettant que cette injustice serait réparée. Mais cette aide arrive trop tard. Walther Ritz, atteint de tuberculose, doit entrer à la clinique de Göttingen à la mi-mai; il y meurt 7 semaines plus tard, le 7 juillet 1909. Il a donc 31 ans."
