"Einstein's Unfortunate Legacy #2"

    Following his success with The Special Theory of Relativity, Dr.
Einstein extended his approach to include accelerated reference frames. It
was his contention that the force produced by a gravitational field could be
considered to be equivalent to the inertial force produced by a spatial
acceleration. The result was a postulate, the Principle of Equivalence,
which along with the Principle of Relativity upon which Special Relativity
was based, led to the generation of the General Theory of Relativity.

    Dr. Einstein struggled for a year and a half to solve the mathematics
involved and finally produced the General Theory of Relativity. For this
effort he is considered to be a world class genius on a par with Newton.
What is conveniently forgotten is that in order to solve the mathematics he
was forced to invent the idea of "curved space" to make the mathematical
solution
work, it would not work in terms of our familiar three dimensional space!
When this introduction was introduced at a convention of physicists
considering General Relativity, it was accepted with the comment "why
shouldn't we consider space to be curved NOBODY CAN PROVE THAT IT ISN'T".
(Weren't they objective scientists?)

    An alarm bell should ring when one examines the conclusions of General
Relativity and of Special Relativity. One does not need a high level of
brilliance or education to recognize that the two theories are incompatible
and, as a result, cannot satisfy the Principle of Equivalence! Somewhere in
the mathematics an error had been made. The existence of this error is made
evident
by the fact that, in a force-length-time system of measurement, there
exists, under Special Relativity, the Lorentz Transformations for Length and
for Time. Under General Relativity, on the other hand, while there is a
transformation for time (the time dilation), there is no analogous
transformation for length. It is the absence of this transformation which
required the concept of "curved space" to make the mathematics self
consistent.

    General Relativity was accepted after it "correctly" predicted the time
dilation, the precession of Mercury's Orbit, and the bending of light as it
passed the Sun. What was conveniently overlooked was the fact that the Sun's
field is about 5 orders of magnitude too weak to reveal the error which
exists. (This error could be observed in the vicinity of a neutron star, but
the observation would have to be coupled with a close in orbital observation
to be
meaningful.)

    When one examines the mathematical treatment which produced General
Relativity to find the source of obvious error in the theory, it is not hard
to find that error. The mathematics involved the double integration of and
equation in the form:- (dS)^2= (dX)^2+(dY)^2+(dZ)^2-(Kt*C*dT)^2 where Kt is
the time transformation provided by Special Relativity.

    Anyone who is familiar with integral calculus will recognize that, to
be rigorously correct, coefficients must be provided for the length terms
(dX), (dY), and (dZ). The failure to include such coefficients arbitrarily
sets them at unity. The effect is, to borrow a term from the legal
profession, the arbitrary assumption of a fact not yet in evidence. Adding
such coefficients does not introduce an error, if they are not required the
mathematical solution will set them at unity and no harm will be done. If
they are required, the solution will either be in error or will be
impossible (as was the case with General Relativity). Unfortunately, instead
of correcting this error, Dr. Einstein resorted to the fakery of "curved
space"! For the derivation of General
Relativity to have been rigorous, the equation to be integrated should have
been written: (dS)^2= (Kx*dX)^2+(Ky*dY)^2+(Kz*dZ)^2-(Kt*C*dT)^2 While
separate coefficients for X, Y, and Z are required for rigor, it is not
unreasonable to assume that space is isotropic and set Kx, Ky, and Kz are
equal and set them equal to K. If this had been done, General Relativity
would have yielded its result in terms of our normal three dimensional
Euclidean Space.

    The existence of this error is evident in the difficulty in reconciling
General Relativity with Quantum Theory without mathematically resorting to
fictitious extra dimensions (eleven dimensional space seems to be currently
in vogue). When one corrects the information provided by General Relativity,
which has been derived independently by two other independent methods, an
entirely different picture of reality emerges. Energy is found to be
conserved in the absolute sense, the source of the force of gravity is
revealed, and our cosmological observations are provided with a clear
explanation. It shows that the "big bang" origin of our universe never
happened. As observed from the inside of a gravitationally collapsing
object, the object appears to contract until a radius of four times the
horizon radius is reached and then is observed to expand to an infinite
radius as its absolute radius contracts to the horizon radius. Gravity is
revealed to be a force resulting from the release of mass energy due to the
contraction of matter as a result of a reduction of elevation. The subject
