Let us say a H2O water molecule is sitting still in an inertial, non-rotating "laboratory" coordinate frame, such as described by
Weinberg. The angle made between the two H atoms is 104 degrees. Next consider the molecule to have a speed of 99.999999% the speed
of light in this ...

"The Impossibility of Measuring the Velocity of Light"
    (See also our sister website reticsessays.com)
    The idea that the velocity of light is the same no matter in what
reference frame it is measured is fundamental to the modern sceince of

There are physicists and there are mathematicians.  The mathematicians
think of Special Relativity as an exercise in group theory, showing
the wonders of the different results one can derive from applications
of the Lorentz or Poincare groups. They think of relativity as a

The following is a gedanken problem where we all understand the
physics of this scenario. After reading the scenario, I'm curious how
physicists apply or don't apply the same logic to a similar scenario.
The scenario.

I have been struggling of late with what I have perceived to be a lack
of symmetry between time and space, with respect to a canonical
commutation relationship:
[x^i,p_j]=i hbar delta^i_j    (1)

It would seem that even Newtonian mechanics predicts that light will
follow a curved path in the presence of a gravitational field.  If
that's not obvious, think about the following thought experiment.  If
we shoot a bullet perfectly horizontally from, say, six feet above the

I'm reading a paper which has the usual Lorentz transformation for
time between S and S' moving with velocity v:
t = Y(t' + Bx'/c), with Y = 1/ sqrt(1 - B^2), B = v / C.
The author then situates a clock at x' = 0 and says the differential

A lot of well educated people I know dont even consider math and
physics to be real sciences. There more like silly games played with
meaningless symbols by people, mosly men, that have nothing better to
do then waste there time. LOL.

"The Observational Collapse of Einsteinian Physics"
    Observations made in the field of Quantum Physics have already
established that the concept that space and time are different aspects of
the same entity - "space-time" is flawed. This concept was based on the

Imagine a large spacious chest resembling a room with an observer
inside who is equipped with apparatus, far removed from stars and
other appreciable masses.  Now let an external rope pull this chest
with constant force along the y-axis so that the chest accelerates

More than ten different models of the electron are presented here.
(!!!)
More than twenty models are discussed briefly. (!!!)
Thus, the book gives a complete picture of contemporary theoretical

Absurdities of a wave model for light
A new text is presented at:

The present text analyses the actual wave model of photon at frequency

Juan claims to NOT understand the Equation,
g_uv = \eta_uv + h_uv

the fella into clarity, shine the light, show him the
