Natural Science Forum / Physics / Relativity / January 2006Einstein's Cult Fight Imposture
Einstein's divinity naturally involved some honesty: apart from other people's blurring (e.g. in quantum mechanics), Einstein fought his own falsifications as well. As soon as he realized that his second postulate (the principle of constancy of speed of light) was false, he found ways of reducing the importance of this postulate and developed the theory as if falsity had never existed. So in Chapter 7 in his "Relativity" Einstein eliminates his false postulate by claiming it is nothing more than a corollary of the first postulate, the principle of relativity: "For, like every other general law of nature, the law of the transmission of light in vacuo must, ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLE OF RELATIVITY, be the same for the railway carriage as reference-body as when the rails are the body of reference." In Chapter 22 Einstein continues the fight against his false postulate - in a gravitational field the speed of light suddenly proves variable. However that is the maximum of Einstein's honesty - he knows any further confession would be fatal. The hypnotists in Einstein's cult inherited Einstein's honesty and never stop fighting Einstein's false second postulate: http://www.worldscibooks.com/physics/4114.html http://www.thegreatdebate.org.uk/VSLReview1.html http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~phys16/Textbook/ch10.pdf p.35 ("Relativity without c") Pentcho Valev > Einstein's divinity naturally involved some honesty: apart from other > people's blurring (e.g. in quantum mechanics), Einstein fought his own [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~phys16/Textbook/ch10.pdf p.35 > ("Relativity without c") It seems that Pentcho Valev ignores the difference between - honing the foundations of a theory and fighting it.

Standard Crank Pattern No. 6: basing criticism on popular science presentations rather than actual theory. I know Pentcho cannot be reasoned with but for the benefit of anybody else reading this: Einstein here merely points out what happens _if_ one adds the speed of light to the set of the constants of nature. His second postulate is otherwise not a consequence of the first. > In Chapter 22 Einstein continues the fight against his false postulate > - in a gravitational field the speed of light suddenly proves variable. Suddenly? > However that is the maximum of Einstein's honesty - he knows any > further confession would be fatal. What "maximum honesty", what "further confession", what "fatal"? You are such a child. > The hypnotists in Einstein's cult inherited Einstein's honesty and > never stop fighting Einstein's false second postulate: Listen to me very carefully: 1. There is no "Einstein cult". Just get it through your head once and for all, it's not that difficult. 2. There are no "hypnotists" or any other agency interested in the least in promoting any such "cult". 3. Nobody is "fighting" any postulate. Postulates are simply what they are: postulates. They are judged on their ability to lead to science that agrees with experiments while minimising the number of arbitrary tunable parameters. If you have philosophical objections to relativity, just be honest and SAY SO. There is nothing cranky about that, it's a fascinating field. I have plenty of philosophical problems with relativity. It just happens not to be a physics problem. (I also have plenty of problems with people wro criticise it for the wrong, idiotic, reasons.) -- Jan Bielawski >> Einstein's divinity naturally involved some honesty: > > Have you stopped interrupting yet?
