"Einstein's Unfortunate Legacy #1"
Dr. Einstein is credited with being a modern Newton who provided a sea
change shift in our understanding of physical reality. He is credited with
this accomplishment by virtue of his Special Theory of Relativity (1905)
which explained the apparently impossible results of the
Michealson-Morley Experiment and providing the equivalence of mass and
energy with his equation E=M*C^2. He then provided the General theory of
Relativity (1919) which is alleged to explain the nature and behavior of the
gravitational field.
If one takes the trouble to read the texts written in the early years
of the 20th century one comes to a somewhat different conclusion. The
earliest reference found to E=M*C^2 is a derivation by J.J. Thomson in 1888
when Dr. Einstein was in knee pants. (This derivation, which the writer has
not examined, relied on the validity of Maxwell's Equations). In 1903 Mr.
Fitzgerald and Dr. Larmor respectively came up with a length and time
transformations between reference frames which had a relative velocity. When
combined with the Lorentz Transformations for Mass, these transformations
provided a complete explanation of the results of the Michealson-Morley
Experiment in a manner which was completely consistent with the idea of the
classical Aether. The result was known as the Lorentz Transformation-Aether
Theory (LTAT - 1903). with those concepts as a guide, Dr. Einstein managed
to derive Special Relativity from basic principles rather than observation.
Except for their perspective, these theories are identical! STR asserts that
our absolute velocity cannot be measured and therefore may be ignored in
physical theory while LTAT asserts that the aether is basic to reality but
our velocity with respect to it cannot be measured due to the effects of the
Lorentz Transformations and the fact that information cannot be transmitted
at a velocity greater than that of light.
While STR provided a significant computational advantage over LTAT, as
a proof of Dr. Einstein's brilliance, STR leaves much to be desired. It is
axiomatic that when an intelligent individual(s) provides a solution to a
problem, any jackass(es) can make an improvement(s). (This is not intended
as a slur on Dr. Einstein. It is provided to point out that STR does not
prove his brilliance.) It is also axiomatic that the individual(s) who
provide the improvement will invariably be given the credit for the results.
That credit is almost never given to the truly intelligent individual(s)
(e.g.- Fitzgerald) who actually provided the solution.
Unfortunately the academic community asserted that since the Aether
could not be observed IT WAS PROVEN NOT TO EXIST! This assertion is invalid,
a proof of non-observability does not constitute a proof of non-existence or
constitute a proof that our reality does not depend on its existence. It
only proves that the effects of the Aether combine in such a manner as to
make its presence unobservable. STR leaves one free to assume that LTAT
represents our reality where convenient. The consequences of this faulty
conclusion required theoreticians to invent substitutes for the Aether in
the form of Dirac's Negative Energy Space (whatever that might be) and in
the idea of that forces which act at a distance were provided by the
exchange of "virtual particles". While the concept of "virtual forces"
explains these forces mathematically, it fails completely when one examines
applies the requirement that it explain the momentum transfer required to
produce attractive forces.
Dr. Einstein's finally contribution in the realm of STR was the
assertion that the velocity of light was both "constant" (having the same
"absolute" value) and "a constant" (having the same "relative" value). This
assertion has led to much confusion over the past century, as evidenced by
postings in this newsgroup. This confusion results for the fact that the
Lorentz Transformation for Velocity is the Lorentz Transformation for Length
divided by the Lorentz Transformation for Time. Since this transformation is
not unity but is rather the square of the Lorentz Transformation for Length,
it is clear that the velocity of light, which is observed to be "a constant"
cannot be also be "constant" between velocity reference frames. In an
absolute sense it changes exactly as the geometry between moving reference
frames requires. The failure of theoreticians to recognize this distinction
has led to the rejection of an absolute velocity reference frame and has led
to the absurdity evidenced by the concept of "space-time" as a
representation of reality. Space-time is actually nothing more than a
convenient mathematical construct which has been promoted as representing
reality. The motive for this promotion is clearly the attempt to convert
what is a reasonable physical reality into a mystery which only the
privileged elite can understand.

objectively answered, the material at the Website will be withdrawn.
Challenges to date have revealed only the responder's inadequacy with one
