Default How Einstein Fooled Brian Greene

Brian Greene: "Time travel is absolutely possible. And this is not some sort of weird sci-fi thing that I'm talking about here. Albert Einstein taught us more than 100 years ago that time travel is possible if you're focusing upon time travel to the future. And I'm not referring to the silly thing that we all age, right. We're all going into the future. Sure, I'm talking about if you wanted to leapfrog into the future, if you wanted to see what the Earth will be like a million years from now, Albert Einstein told us how to do that. In fact he told us two ways of how to do it. You can build a spaceship, go out into space near the speed of light, turn around and come back. Imagine you go out for six months and you turn around and you come back for six months. You will be one year older. But he taught us that your time is elapsing much slower than time back on Earth. So when you step out of your ship you're one year older but Earth has gone through many, many years. It can have gone through 10,000, 100,000 or a million years depending on how close to the speed of light you traveled." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yMiUq7W_xI

Einstein fooled you, Brian Greene - you should not have been so gullible. The lie is he

"But he taught us that your time is elapsing much slower than time back on Earth."

Actually special relativity predicts the opposite - the traveler's time is elapsing FASTER. The traveler will discover this by checking stationary clocks he meets against his (moving) clocks - stationary clocks are slow, his (moving) clocks are FAST:

David Morin, Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, Chapter 11, p. 14: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. [...] For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow..."

"The situation is that a man sets off in a rocket travelling at high speed away from Earth, whilst his twin brother stays on Earth. [...] ...the twin in the spaceship considers himself to be the stationary twin, and therefore as he looks back towards Earth he sees his brother ageing more slowly than himself."

Default How Einstein Fooled Brian Greene

There is an extremely vulnerable consequence of Einstein's false constant-speed-of-light postulate. The postulate entails that time SPEEDS UP for the moving observer, or, equivalently, moving clocks run FAST. The moving observer will discover this by checking stationary clocks he meets against his (moving) clocks - stationary clocks are slow, his (moving) clocks are fast.

Einsteinians don't teach this valid consequence (it is obviously too dangerous) and teach instead ... its antithesis, even though the antithesis contradicts special relativity (we all live in Einstein's schizophrenic world, don't we). So, according to Einsteinians and contrary to what special relativity predicts, time SLOWS DOWN for the moving observer and moving clocks run SLOWLY:

Brian Greene: "If you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you slows down."

http://www.livescience.com/58245-the...real-life.html
"The implications of Einstein's most famous theory are profound. If the speed of light is always the same, it means that an astronaut going very fast relative to the Earth will measure the seconds ticking by slower than an Earthbound observer will - time essentially slows down for the astronaut, a phenomenon called time dilation."

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/...ry?id=32191481
Neil deGrasse Tyson: "We have ways of moving into the future. That is to have time tick more slowly for you than others, who you return to later on. We've known that since 1905, Einstein's special theory of relativity, which gives the precise prescription for how time would slow down for you if you are set into motion."

https://cosmosmagazine.com/physical-...l-through-time
"This is the easiest and most practical way to get to the far future - go really fast. According to Einstein's theory of special relativity, when you travel at speeds approaching the speed of light, time slows down for you relative to the outside world."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O8lBIcHre0
Brian Cox (2:25) : "Moving clocks run slowly"

http://www.newscientist.com/article/...elativity.html
John Gribbin: "Einstein's special theory of relativity tells us how the Universe looks to an observer moving at a steady speed. Because the speed of light is the same for all such observers, moving clocks run slow..."

So Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc. teach

"If you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you SLOWS DOWN"

while special relativity says that

if you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you SPEEDS UP.

Let us imagine that, in a burst of honesty, Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc. decide to teach what special relativity actually says:

If you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you SPEEDS UP.

What will be the consequences? Here is an Einsteinian who, unlike Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc., correctly interprets the predictions of special relativity:

"Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. [...] For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow..." David Morin, Introduction to Classical Mechanics With Problems and Solutions, Chapter 11, p. 14 http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~djmorin/chap11.pdf

That is, all along, A observes B's clock running slow and B observes A's clock running slow. So, when A and B meet again either twin will find the other younger than himself. Idiotic isn't it? Yet this is what special relativity VALIDLY predicts. We have reductio ad absurdum, which means that the underlying premise, Einstein's constant-speed-of-light postulate, is false.

How can Einstein's relativity be saved? Some additional absurdity has to be introduced, able to neutralize the original absurdity. In 1918 Einstein admitted that special relativity is contradictory and turned to general relativity - he informed the gullible world that, during the turning-around acceleration of the traveling twin, a HOMOGENEOUS gravitational field appears which is responsible for a quick, almost instantaneous, ageing of the stationary twin:

Albert Einstein 1918: "A homogeneous gravitational field appears..." http://sciliterature.50webs.com/Dialog.htm

David Morin (quoted above) perhaps finds Einstein's HOMOGENEOUS gravitational field too idiotic but introduces it nevertheless - he calls it "enough strangeness" - words that may sound less idiotic to him:

David Morin: "Twin A stays on the earth, while twin B flies quickly to a distant star and back. [...] For the entire outward and return parts of the trip, B does observe A's clock running slow, but enough strangeness occurs during the turning-around period to make A end up older."

So if, in a burst of honesty, Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Cox etc. decide to teach what special relativity actually predicts:

If you're moving relative to somebody else, time for you SPEEDS UP.

they will have to introduce Einstein's HOMOGENEOUS gravitational field in one way or another, like David Morin - otherwise relativity crumbles.
