Challenging Einstein's Relativity is like Challenging Catholic Church

Introduction

I am challenging Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. Actually, I have already challenged in many months ago. Now I am at the stage of disproving it. And replacing it.

I am currently in the process of writing documents which show that Einstein’s theory was NOT proven to be true. And more importantly, I am showing a better way, a much simpler and more accurate set of mechanisms.

Disproving Einstein’s Relativity is pretty simple, once you understand everything surrounding the theory. (This includes his faulty arguments, the untrue “facts” he based it on, and the observed facts which do not in any way prove his ideas).

Also, demonstrating that my new mechanisms are correct is fairly simple. In fact, it is much easier to explain these new mechanisms than any aspect of Einstein’s Relativity. (This fact alone increases the credibility of what I offer).

Challenging Relativity is Almost Heresy

Yet…the very act of challenging Einstein’s Relativity is a big deal. It is considered a form of heresy.

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity has been accepted by many people as the New Truth. It is a religious belief. It has become as firmly entrenched as any views of the Catholic Church in the 1200s.

Therefore, to challenge Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity will likely be viewed with the same religious emotional response as any scientists of the Renaissance making a proposal that is contradictory to the views of the Catholic Church.

There is an emotional attachment to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity which is unlike the scientist's more reasoned relationship to other theories or to other scientists. Einstein’s Relativity is considered as Gospel. It is considered as the absolute truth. And yet it is not the absolute truth.

General Relativity is More Religion than Science

In fact, there is much about the General Theory of Relativity itself which is more of a religious belief than proven science.

Note that I have studied the theory itself in depth, from Einstein’s own words. I have also looked at many of the arguments, and many of the supposed proof. I can tell you that there are many things wrong with the theory, many flawed arguments, and there is no proof.

Let’s start with the fact that very few people understand it, even scientists. They only get part of the understanding. Therefore, when they try to support it, or base further ideas on it, the scientists are on very unstable ground. This makes it much like a religion, and less like science.

Then there is the lack of proof. When you look at the experiments which supposedly “prove” Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is correct, you find that there was proof of something, but it was not proof of Einstein’s Theory.

Even on a surface level understanding of the Theory, it sounds more like a religion than a science: clocks moving backwards, objects stretching, and other odd effects. Science is always logical, and yet this Theory lacks logic many areas. This makes it more of a “belief system” than a science.

But more than that, there is a type of religious fervor associated with Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. There is a type of religious devotion to this view of the universe.

General Relativity is NOT the Only Mechanism

I am here to show you that his view of the universe is not the only one which works. I have mechanisms which work just as well. In fact, they work better.

Even Einstein himself has stated that theories which are simple and logical tend be what is real. Well, my mechanisms are very simple, very logical. They are so simple that I have been able to explain them to high school students and they understood right away. (You can’t say this about Relativity, where even graduate school scientists have difficulty with it).

Admire and Respect Einstein, Yet Relativity is Not Correct

I love Einstein. I really do. I believe that 95% of every theory he proposed is correct. I also identify 100% with everything he has ever said about the way scientists think, and the pleasures of spending your time solving these puzzles.

Personally, I identify with him quite a lot. He is one of the few people who thinks like I do. Scientifically, he is correct about a majority of things. This includes the photon, and the hope that someday there will be hidden variables which better explains quantum mechanics. (I have found these hidden variables, thus proving Einstein’s instincts correct).

However, in this one area, Einstein’s Theory is not absolute. I will admit that it has helped us make progress. For example, his theory helped us come to the gravitational bending of light, and the existence of black holes. Yet, the mechanisms are incorrect.

Stated another way: he came upon some right answers, but for the wrong reasons. I have the true reasons.

In addition, much of his logic is flawed. Also, some of the “facts” he used as the basis for why we need such a theory at all are not true facts, and therefore the theory cannot rest upon those facts.  

FYI, Einstein was also wrong about his ideas on the electron. Bohr and Heisenberg had more correct understanding of the electron. The contrasting ideas of Einstein and Schrodinger regarding the electron are wrong. Thus, even the greatest geniuses are not perfect all the time.

Again: I admire Einstein a lot, I personally identify with Einstein quite a bit. The way he thinks and the way he views his personal life in general is similar to me. However, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is not correct.

Replacing Relativity with a New Set of Mechanisms

I know that to challenge Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, and to replace it with another set of mechanisms, will be responded to by many with a religious fervor. It will be akin to Galileo or Copernicus challenging the views of the Catholic Church. But it must be done.

In my latest book “Photons in Motion” I provide a new model of gravity. This model is simple, sensible, and provides the mechanisms for all observations related to gravity.

This model works from the smallest scale of photons and electrons, to the largest scales of stars and galaxies. (My model of gravitation is the only model which can do this. General Relativity only works for large massive objects; and “quantum gravity” mechanisms are proposed for the smaller scales).
Throughout several chapters of this book you will see the new model of gravity, particularly in relation to photon motion. You will see that “General Relativity” is not required.

Furthermore, in the last two chapters of this book I provide the true, more accurate mechanisms for the following: Black Holes, Gravitational Bending of Light, the Event Horizon, and the Formation of Galaxies.

All of these can be explained very simply, without General Relativity, without curvature of space, and without resorting to “space-time”.

The mechanisms for each of these can actually be explained in few short paragraphs. However, I have spent a full 60 pages describing all aspects in great detail. I did this in order to convert the believers of General Relativity to accepting this new set of mechanisms.

It is precisely because Einstein’s General Relativity is considered so much a “truth”, in an almost religious sense, that I knew I needed details. Therefore I present the full case for Gravity, Black Holes, Bending of Light, and related processes, using my new model of gravity, and at the same time showing space-time or General Relativity is not needed.

I will probably never write a book which disproves Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity entirely. It has never been my interest. However, what is important to me is to a) show the true mechanism of gravity, and b) to show everything related to photon motion.

And as a side product of this effort, I have shown that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is not the true mechanism for many processes which were once thought to be. We must be willing to accept this as a reality.

There may be aspects of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity which are still true. If so, then my work will clear out the excess junk from the theory, and make Einstein’s Theory tighter and more robust.

And if the entirety of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity is ever replaced by a set of other mechanisms, then my work will have been the first on the new path in that direction.

I want to conclude with this reminder: Always remember that as scientists we must be open to new concepts and new mechanisms. This is the way of scientific development. This is the way we as humans better understand our universe.
