"Einstein's Unfortunate Legacy #2"

    "Great spirits have always encountered violent oppositions from
mediocre minds." - A. Einstein

    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 is treated in detail in

EVERYTHING WHICH WE ACCEPT AS TRUE MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE
WE HAVE ACCEPTED AS TRUE, IT MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OBSERVATIONS, AND
IT MUST BE MATHEMATICALLY VIABLE. PRESENT TEACHINGS DO NOT ALWAYS MEET THIS
REQUIREMENT. THE WORLD IS ENTITLED TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF WORKMANSHIP FROM
THOSE IT HAS GRANTED WORLD CLASS STATUS.
