Constant Speed of Light: the Root of All the Evil in Physics
"Lee [Smolin] and I discussed these paradoxes at great length for many months, starting in January 2001. We would meet in cafés in South Kensington or Holland Park to mull over the problem. THE ROOT OF ALL THE EVIL WAS CLEARLY SPECIAL RELATIVITY. All these paradoxes resulted from well known effects such as length contraction, time dilation, or E=mc^2, all basic predictions of special relativity. And all denied the possibility of establishing a well-defined border, common to all observers, capable of containing new quantum gravitational effects." Joao Magueijo, Faster Than the Speed of Light, p. 250 http://www.amazon.com/Faster-Than-Sp.../dp/0738205257
Special relativity is based on two axioms. One of them - Einstein's false constant-speed-of-light postulate - is actually the root of all the evil in physics. The metastases of the falsehood overwhelmed and killed this branch of science: "He opened by explaining how Einstein's theory of relativity is the foundation of every other theory in modern physics and that the assumption that the speed of light is constant is the foundation of that theory. Thus a constant speed of light is embedded in all of modern physics and to propose a varying speed of light (VSL) is worse than swearing! It is like proposing a language without vowels." http://www.thegreatdebate.org.uk/VSLRevPrnt.html Physicists know that Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light postulate is false and even hint at the truth sometimes: "The whole of physics is predicated on the constancy of the speed of light," Joao Magueijo, a cosmologist at Imperial College London and pioneer of the theory of variable light speed, told Motherboard. "So we [Joao Magueijo and Niayesh Afshordi] had to find ways to change the speed of light without wrecking the whole thing too much." https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/a...t-speed-slowed Joao Magueijo, Niayesh Afshordi, Stephon Alexander 2018: "So we have broken fundamentally this Lorentz invariance which equates space and time..." https://youtu.be/kbHBBtsrU1g?t=1431 Magueijo, Afshordi and Alexander, as mainstream professors, beat about the bush a bit, so in this tweet https://twitter.com/pentcho_valev/st...89439147859970 I tried to define the situation as bluntly as possible. The tweet received a like from... Niayesh Afshordi! Pentcho Valev |
