Book excerpt: Almost everyone believes relativity to be a pinnacle scientific achievement, the preeminent work of a certified genius. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fact is, relativity is nothing more than deceptive metaphysical nonsense that has no practical relevance to our real nontheoretical world of three actual dimensions. This harsh but obvious reality is easy to prove and just as easy to understand. We just refuse to face it. It upends all we believe and hold dear. And it's embarrassing. It makes relativity's followers look foolish, especially all those intellectual elites who've fallen for Einstein's ruse that only the wise and intelligent can comprehend it - a classic "Emperor's New Clothes" con that offers (artificial) prestige and status in exchange for blind discipleship.Relativity is cosmology's only remaining obstacle. Realizing its fallacy lays bare the universe's true nature. Everything at every scale falls neatly into place, including unification in a surprising simple and unexpected way. Complicated math, specialized knowledge, or genius is not necessary. All it takes is a willingness to remain open to the possibility that we may all be victims of habitual self-indoctrination to the self-perpetuating dogma of a self-deluded work of fiction, a smidgen of common sense, and a genuine desire for reality.220 pages and 78 diagramsUse the Look Inside feature to view the Abstract, Table of Contents, Section One Introduction, and the first couple of chapters and their diagrams.Barnes & Noble's Version is essentially the same.

Download or read book The Great Einstein Hoax written by Herb Rose and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-02-19 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical physics has become a modern version of the Emperor's New Clothes where ridiculous and absurd theories are proposed and accepted because doubting them would indicate some mental impairment or lack of knowledge. Physicists have abandoned reason and reality and turned physics into a make believe science where illusions are created to support their delusions. In a science that is supposed to be based on observation and experimentation the acceptance of a conclusion that experiments know if they are being watched and change the results when observed invalidates all experiments and observations. This degeneration of physics from a science to fantasy is a result of Einstein's theories. His general and special relativity theories are based on the assertion that the speed of light is constant in a vacuum and cannot be exceeded which he proposed in his theory of the photon and for which he won a Nobel prize. The photon was preposed as a solution to the problem of the photoelectric effect and define the nature of light. Light was known to be an electromagnetic wave but when certain light waves strikes certain metals or crystals it produces an immediate electric current. A wave is an energy disturbance within a medium and it was believed that for a wave to dislodge an electron from an atom it must transfer a quanta of energy to the electron and this would not happen immediately. The photon proposed that light had bundles of waves, or photons, that acted as a particle so light had both a particle and wave nature. The speed of a wave is determined by the forces in the medium in which it travels and cannot be constant while a particle's energy is transmitted as kinetic energy and can be constant. If light is a wave with no particle attributes then it speed cannot be constant and Einstein's assertion that the speed of light is constant and his relativity theories based on this assertion are wrong. This book proposes that there is an explanation for the photoelectric effect that is consistent with wave theory that explains the photoelectric effect without creating the photon. This explanation means that the absurdities created by Einstein's theories like black holes, time dimension, the myriad of subatomic particles invented to support his theories, and the varying of the characteristics of matter with speed are wrong and do not exists. It also maintains that Newton' law of gravity was wrong and that by correcting these errors physics can once again be a science base on reason and reality instead of a make believe world populated with invisible matter and energy and ruled by magic spells.

Download or read book The Great Einstein Relativity Hoax written by Page Truitt and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book is packed with unconventional, easy to read, non-mathematical explanations of a variety of physical phenomena ranging from the appearance and properties of electrons to the construction of matter from particles and energy fields. Entire chapters are devoted to explanations of the creation of electricity by moving electrons and the production of light by oscillating electrons. The mechanisms of reflection and refraction are described in detail. An entire section is devoted to various kinds of relative motion leading up to a full, detailed explanation of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity and its associated problems. Another entire section presents the theoretical physics of atomic and molecular construction by the universal energy field. Have you ever wondered what "charge" is or why electrons don't repel parts of themselves or spiral into the atomic nucleus? Why must particles accelerate and oscillate to produce the volleys of tiny pulses which make up light. Why don't moving electromagnetic fields have north and south poles or positive and negative charge? How does light reflect from itself? Why does it refract when it goes through transparent media? Why are there four leads in some house wires and only three in others? Why is your car battery attached to the body of the car? If you are traveling down the highway at 60mph, is the highway moving in the opposite direction at 60mph? Do objects contract in the direction of their motion and does time "slow down" at very fast speeds? Why do atoms attract to form molecules when they only present the negative fields of their electrons to each other? These and many other questions are answered, often in unconventional ways while other questions are raised which can't be answered at all. Anyone who needs a science or research project idea or even an idea for a doctorate thesis can surely find many possibilities in this little book. It's chock full of them. Happy reading!

Download or read book The Einstein Effect written by Benyamin Cohen and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating and funny guide to history's favorite genius—and why he still matters." —A.J. Jacobs, New York Times bestselling author A fascinating look into how Einstein's genius and science continues to show up in so many facets of our everyday lives and his enduring legacy as an unlikely pop culture icon. Albert Einstein was the first modern-day celebrity and, decades after his death, still has the world's most recognizable face. His influence is seen in much of the technology we use every day: GPS, remote controls, weather forecasts, even toothpaste. But it's not just Einstein's scientific discoveries that continue to shape our world. His legacy underpins the search for aliens, the rescue of refugees, the invention of time machines, and the debunking of fake news. He appears in new books, TV shows, and movies all the time—and fans are paying millions for Einstein relics at auction. Award-winning author and journalist Benyamin Cohen has a bizarre side hustle as the manager of Einstein's official social media accounts, which have 20 million followers—more than most living celebrities. In The Einstein Effect, Cohen embarks on a global quest to unearth Einstein's ongoing relevance today. Along the way, he meets scientists and celebrities, speaks to dozens with the last name Einstein (including two rabbis), and even tracks down the brain of Einstein, stolen from his body during the autopsy. Cohen shows us the myriad ways the Nobel Prize winner's influence is still with us, giving an in-depth—and often hilarious—look at the world's favorite genius like you've never seen him before. Praise for The Einstein Effect: "Benyamin is a regular Joe with great humility, a tremendous sense of humor, a philosopher with an acute awareness of human connection, a gift to us all." —Mandy Patinkin, actor, singer, activist "I hope this book encourages others to be inspired by Einstein as well." —Christopher Lloyd, award-winning actor "A book for geniuses and the rest of us alike." —Derek Baxter, author of In Pursuit of Jefferson "A thoroughly entertaining new book." —Jeff Einstein, great-great nephew of Albert Einstein "Full of humor and surprises." —Paul Halpern, physics professor and author of Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat

Download or read book Beyond the Hoax written by Alan Sokal and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, Alan Sokal, a Professor of Physics at New York University, wrote a paper for the cultural-studies journal Social Text, entitled 'Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity'. It was reviewed, accepted and published. Sokal immediately confessed that the whole article was a hoax - a cunningly worded paper designed to expose and parody the style of extreme postmodernist criticism of science. The story became front-page news around the world and triggered fierce and wide-ranging controversy. Sokal is one of the most powerful voices in the continuing debate about the status of evidence-based knowledge. In Beyond the Hoax he turns his attention to a new set of targets - pseudo-science, religion, and misinformation in public life. 'Whether my targets are the postmodernists of the left, the fundamentalists of the right, or the muddle-headed of all political and apolitical stripes, the bottom line is that clear thinking, combined with a respect for evidence, are of the utmost importance to the survival of the human race in the twenty-first century.' The book also includes a hugely illuminating annotated text of the Hoax itself, and a reflection on the furore it provoked.

Download or read book Tagore Einstein and the Nature of Reality written by Partha Ghose and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of a selection of scholarly essays from literature, philosophy and history on the conception of reality as understood by Rabindranath Tagore and Albert Einstein. The nature of reality has been a long-debated issue among scientists and philosophers. Tagore (1861–1941) met Einstein (1879–1955) at the latter’s house in Kaputh, Germany on 14 July 1930 and had a long conversation on this issue. This conversation has been widely quoted and discussed by scientists, philosophers and scholars from the literary world. The important question that Tagore and Einstein discussed was whether the world is a unity dependent on humanity, or the world is a reality independent of the human factor. Einstein believed that reality is independent of the mind and the human factor. On the other hand, Tagore adopted the opposite view. Nevertheless, both Einstein and Tagore claimed to be realists — their conceptions of reality were obviously fundamentally different. Where does the difference lie? Can it be harmonized at a deeper level? This volume brings together for the first time a gamut of views on this subject from eminent scholars. It presents some key reflections on reality, language, poetry, truth, science, personality, human sciences, virtue ethics, intelligibility and creativity. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of philosophy, literature, history and political studies, as also to those interested in Tagore.

Download or read book Shakespeare Einstein and the Bottom Line written by David L. Kirp and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you turn an English department into a revenue center? How do you grade students if they are "customers" you must please? How do you keep industry from dictating a university's research agenda? What happens when the life of the mind meets the bottom line? Wry and insightful, Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line takes us on a cross-country tour of the most powerful trend in academic life today--the rise of business values and the belief that efficiency, immediate practical usefulness, and marketplace triumph are the best measures of a university's success. With a shrewd eye for the telling example, David Kirp relates stories of marketing incursions into places as diverse as New York University's philosophy department and the University of Virginia's business school, the high-minded University of Chicago and for-profit DeVry University. He describes how universities "brand" themselves for greater appeal in the competition for top students; how academic super-stars are wooed at outsized salaries to boost an institution's visibility and prestige; how taxpayer-supported academic research gets turned into profitable patents and ideas get sold to the highest bidder; and how the liberal arts shrink under the pressure to be self-supporting. Far from doctrinaire, Kirp believes there's a place for the market--but the market must be kept in its place. While skewering Philistinism, he admires the entrepreneurial energy that has invigorated academe's dreary precincts. And finally, he issues a challenge to those who decry the ascent of market values: given the plight of higher education, what is the alternative?

This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A very fun way to learn about where quantum physics comes from and the strange, even astonishing places it has gone." —Peter Galison, Harvard University, author of Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps From multiverses and quantum leaps to Schrödinger’s cat and time travel, quantum mechanics has irreversibly shaped the popular imagination. Entertainers and writers from Lady Gaga to David Foster Wallace take advantage of its associations and nuances. In The Quantum Moment, philosopher Robert P. Crease and physicist Alfred Scharff Goldhaber recount the fascinating story of how the quantum jumped from physics into popular culture, with brief explorations of the underlying math and physics concepts and descriptions of the fiery disputes among figures including Einstein, Schrödinger, and Niels Bohr. Understanding and appreciating quantum imagery, its uses and abuses, is part of what it means to be an educated person in the twenty-first century. The Quantum Moment serves as an indispensable guide.

Download or read book Einstein and the Changing Worldviews of Physics written by Christoph Lehner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews conceptual conflicts at the foundations of physics now and in the past century. The focus is on the conditions and consequences of Einstein’s pathbreaking achievements that sealed the decline of the classical notions of space, time, radiation, and matter, and resulted in the theory of relativity. Particular attention is paid to the implications of conceptual conflicts for scientific views of the world at large, thus providing the basis for a comparison of the demise of the mechanical worldview at the turn of the 20th century with the challenges presented by cosmology at the turn of the 21st century. Throughout the work, Einstein’s contributions are not seen in isolation but instead set into the wider intellectual context of dealing with the problem of gravitation in the twilight of classical physics; the investigation of the historical development is carried out with a number of epistemological questions in mind, concerning, in particular, the transformation process of knowledge associated with the changing worldviews of physics.

Download or read book EINSTEIN S UNIVERSE WITHOUT BIG BANG written by Christoph Poth and published by Christoph Poth . This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einstein was right. The Big Bang never happend! www.einsteins-universe.com/en/ On the basis of the spiritual ideas of a Belgian priest and an Indian Brahmin, so-called “modern cosmology” has been peddling unadulterated mysticism for decades now. This mysticism has found worldwide distribution especially through a plethora of television documentaries, despite the fact that their pseudoscientific content has been proven to lie completely outside the laws of physics. In this way, people have been led to believe that 95 percent of our universe consists of mystical dark energy and dark matter and only 5 percent of the universe is accessible to us empirically. But what lies behind the scandalous and lamentable failure of an entire branch of astrophysical science and who has an interest in promoting this mysticism? The author of the book reveals clearly, how the scandalous failure of a whole branch of science came about and explains the actual dynamics of the universe using the reputable physical findings of Isaac Newton, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and Karl Schwarzschild. Almost everything about the universe that you believe to be true is demonstrably false. A mixture of mysticism and science-fiction! After 100 years, Einstein´s idea of a static universe has turned out to be true after all. There was definitely no Big Bang, nor are there so-called "black holes" in which space, mass and time collapse to a point, but rather relativistic black spheres. These black spheres are the solution of Hawking´s paradox. Further information: www.einsteins-universe.com/en/

Download or read book The Einstein Phenomenon and fake News written by Ed Gerck and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-27 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem described here include basing beliefs on misinformation and pseudoscience, albeit it also includes the human tendency to be on the intersubjective or even subjective "right" -- even though not objectively right. Consensus (i.e., "Byzantine agreement") is one of the fundamental problems in fault-tolerant distributed systems, and in Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), here tested in an open, online, large discussion forum. As we show here, the disruption or noise can be used in feedback, to help separate noise from signal, turning the problem into that of filtering-out the noise, not blocking (censorship) as the only tool to use (e.g., new laws in EU, Facebook, UK). Stated as a question of finding the correct filter using Shannon, a solution is already known to exist and can be applied. Strategies on dealing with rejection of known facts have risen to notoriety with vaccines, "fake news," politics, CTE in American football, climate change, cybersecurity, and other topics. This book evolved out of a companion text to an open discussion in an online forum as an example -- Should questioning Einstein special and general relativity be blocked? -- as a model question in "fake news".
