Einstein, That Clown: Special Relativity Refuted at Bull's Smokin' BBQ
I think LaQuinta is substantially correct in refuting Einstein, but he is missing some important information about light, but first some correction about GPS as you mention SDSU Physics Prof. Calvin Johnson. I think Engineers made GPS work by trial & error in spite of wrong science. The GPS works not because of science but in spite of wrong science advocated in Einstein’s SRT. The GPS practice is opposite of Einstein's SRT. Einstein got mass increase & time dilatiion backwards. Instead of mass increase it should be mass reduction and instead of time dilation its time contraction such that traveling twin ages more and faster. I am using Contraction as positive and dilation as negative. Relativistic time contraction of 45.66 Microseconds per day (24 Hrs) along the circumference of the earth & gravitational time dilation of 7.26 microseconds/day radially per Galileo’s pendulum formula. So GPS engineers slow down GPS clocks by 45.66-7.26 = 38.4 microseconds per day to synch with ground based clocks. This is proof positive as circumference 45.66 = 7.26 X 2π 1. Light has no need to travel in the absence of a medium & Sound cannot travel without a medium 2. Light travels as wave & interacts as photons. 3. Sound speed increases with density. Light speed decreases with density even to zero for opaque media. 4. Light waves are invisible (like steam until it condenses in the atmosphere. In other words in order to see a light beam there must be some atmosphere preferably with some impurities. 5. Galilean and Special relativity both follow the same premises: a) A ball dropped in a moving train appears to an observer in the moving train as going vertically straight down, but to an observer on the platform it appears to move diagonally forward (Actually it’s more like the arc of a parabola) b) A bullet fired from the roof/ceiling of a train also has the same fate but requires supersensitive observers. c) A laser beam fired from roof or ceiling also has the same fate but requires hyper-imaginary observer. In other words Galilean and Einsteinian relativist agree that appears to an observer in the moving train as going vertically straight down, but to an observer on the platform it appears to move diagonally forward. Einstein’s mistaken logic here is that photons as particles behave like bullets and balls. However Our Pal disagrees because light travels as waves and only interacts as photons. The visible laser beam is manifestation of the light wave wherever it encounters air molecules or impurities in the atmosphere as Photons so, these photons are not photons all the time from ceiling to the floor but only intermittently as a function of train speed, density of air & impurities, whether there is any draft due to windows open/shut or air-conditioning etc or if the observers are talking or merely passive observers (almost dead) With best regards from Your [email protected]— November 12, 2010 6:16 p.m.
