There was a professor who teached relativity bull****, until he found out it to be logical incorrect.and wrote a book about it.
called "Science at the crossroads". Just read it.
Read it back in high school. Man makes some damn fine points about our reliance and near worship of mathematics. That if it can be proven by the numbers that it must be true and that if the numbers do not agree it must not be true.
I do have to agree that we often times only rely on the numbers. This is evidenced when the numbers as we understood the universe said that "X" couldn't exist, but when Quantum Theories were applied...it was found that "Oh yeah! "X" could totally exist! Our bad!"
And he does pull on the frayed edges of the theory of relativity.
But do you know what? Relativity has taken a pounding, but for right now it's still the best guess that we have. Too many things are explained by it for us to just dismiss it out of hand. But at the same time, there are things that are starting to tarnish the perfect image of Relativity being the answer to it all.
Here's the rub. A theory is a plausible or scientifically acceptable general principle or body of principles offered to explain phenomena. A hypothesis is a guess that we test. A theory is a guess that we have tested and it seems to hold up. A theory is also something that we can change as more and more data comes in, replaced if needed.
Relativity explains too much and does it too well to be dismissed. However science is finding points and bits that are not working as well. This is causing a lot of scientists to take another look at Albert's works and start working on finding out what's up?
GPS can work fine without gps
What?!? You want to retry that point? If there's no GPS, how does GPS work? That's like saying my TV works fine without TV.
E=mc^2 was known Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong before there was any ****ing relativity
Actually Henri Poincaré was working on the first mathematical principles of Relativity back in 1900 and it was based on the works of Hendrik Lorentz from back in 1895. Einstein published "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" in 1905 and therein was the mass-energy equivalence.
There's no proof. Mileva Marić was an intelligent woman and may or may not have helped Einstein, but she never did anything to indicate that she ever had any part in Einstein's work. He published long after the divorce, she never did anything to stand out in the scientific community. In fact, in correspondence with her closest friend Helene, (with whom she shared everything else) she never mentioned any involvement in his works.
