Einstein's relativity (SR and GR) is the paradigm of postmodern patch.
A patch always presupposes the existence of the object to be patched.
You can't perform relativistic corrections if there is nothing to be
corrected. Postmodernism has only any sense if there were ever a
thing
called modernism. Einstein's relativity is then the postmodern patch
fixed upon the Emperor's old garment in order to repair it and cover
an awful hole. The funny thing is that patch is not made of the same
material the cloth of the garmet is made of, but of the fabric of the
hole, in such a way that the patch is intended to be fixed, not upon
the hole, but upon the rest of the garment. Once the patch is fixed,
the Emperor owns a New and Postmodern Garment!
This is the story of the King's new clothes:
Now there was once a king who was absolutely insane about new clothes and
one day, two swindlers came to sell him what they said was a magic suit of
clothes. Now, they held up this particular garment and they said, "Your
Majesty, this is a magic suit." Well, the truth of the matter is, there was
no suit there at all. But the swindlers were very smart, and they said,
"Your Majesty, to a wise man this is a beautiful raiment but to a fool it is
absolutely invisible." Naturally, the King not wanting to appear a fool,
said,
"Isn't it grand! Isn't it fine! Look at the cut, the style, the line!
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Somebody send for the Queen."
Well they sent for the Queen and they quickly explained to her about the
magic suit of clothes. And naturally, the Queen not wanting to appear a
fool, said,
"Well, isn't it oh! Isn't it rich! Look at the charm of every stitch!
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes that I have ever seen.
These eyes of mine at once determined
The sleeves are velvet, the cape is ermine
The hose are blue and the doublet is a lovely shade of green.
Summon the court to convene."
Well the court convened, and you never saw in your life as many people as
were at that court. All the ambassadors, the dukes, the earls, the counts,
it was just black with people, and they were all told about the magic suit
of clothes. And after they were told they naturally didn't want to appear
fools and they said,
"Isn't it ohhh! Isn't it ahhh! Isn't it absolutely wheee(whistle sound)!
The suit of clothes is all together
But all together it's all together
The most remarkable suit of clothes a tailor ever made.
Now quickly, put it all together
With gloves of leather and hat and feather
It's all together the thing to wear in Saturday's parade.
Leading the royal brigade."
Now Saturday came and the streets were just lined with thousands, and
thousands, and thousands of people, and they all were cheering as the
artillery came by, the infantry marched by, the cavalry galloped by. And
everybody was cheering like mad, except one little boy. You see, he hadn't
heard about the magic suit and didn't know what he was supposed to see.
Well, as the King came by the little boy looked and, horrified, said,
"Look at the King! Look at the the King! Look at the King, the King, the
King!
The King is in the all together
But all together the all together
He's all together as naked as the day that he was born.
The King is in the all together
But all together the all together
It's all together the very least the King has ever worn."
All the courts positioned to call an intermission
His majesty is wide open to ridicule and scorn
The King is in the all together
But all together the all together
He's all together as naked as the day that he was born.
And it's all together too chilly a morn!
Let's see what Noam Chomsky said when he was criticizing some aspects
of postmodernism,
"There are lots of things I don't understand, say,
the latest debates over whether neutrinos have mass
or the way that Fermat's last theorem was (apparently)
proven recently. But from 50 years in this game, I have
learned two things: (1) I can ask friends who work in
these areas to explain it to me at a level that I can
understand, and they can do so, without particular
difficulty; (2) if I'm interested, I can proceed to
learn more so that I will come to understand it. Now
Derrida, Lacan, Lyotard, Kristeva, etc. even Foucault,
whom I knew and liked, and who was somewhat different
from the rest --- write things that I also don't understand,
but (1) and (2) don't hold: no one who says they do
understand can explain it to me and I haven't a clue as
to how to proceed to overcome my failures. That leaves
one of two possibilities: (a) some new advance in
intellectual life has been made, perhaps some sudden
genetic mutation, which has created a form of "theory"
that is beyond quantum theory, topology, etc., in depth
and profundity; or (b) ... I won't spell it out."
-Noam Chomsky
Now I ask,
Is Einstein's relativity (a) option? Some advance in intellectual
life,
perhaps a sudden genetic mutation, which has created that form of
"theory"
that is beyond quantum theory, topology, etc., in depth and
profundity?
or is it (b) option, whose word Chomsky doesn't want to spell it out?
IMHO, the correct option is (b), and I'll spell that damned word out
for him: B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.
Welcome to straight talk, the show that says it like it is.
