Saturday Physics for Everyone 2023: Nicolas Yunes, "Einstein Matters"

Love you physics

The problem modern scientists have is that they consider time of a clock on earth to be a force that contracts lengths, curves space, and all of these other scientific miracles. If we go back to the correct equations for relativity, the Galilean transformation equations, which were used to describe relativity until 1887, when scientists threw them away, we can see the problem Einstein introduced into physics. Consider a clock in a flying airplane. Einstein says this about that clock. "As a consequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly than when at rest." (Relativity, the Special and General Theory, A. Einstein, p. 44) If we figure this difference in time the way Einstein said he did, but using the Galilean transformation equations instead of Lorentz's equations, then here is how the axioms of algebra require that the problem be solved. x'=x-vt y'=y z'=z t'=t These equations say nothing about a slower clock in the airplane. t'=t shows that the time of a clock that shows t is being used in both frames of reference. To show the time of the slower clock, we would have to use another set of Galilean transformation equations with different variables for time and velocity. So the inverse equations using the time Einstein's slower clock in the airplane would be. x = x' - (-vt/n')n' y = y' z = z' n = n' n' is the time of the slower clock in the airplane. (-vt/n') is the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane according to the time of the slower clock in the airplane. n = n' shows that the time of the slower clock in the airplane is being used in both frames of reference. These equations work as well for a faster clock as they do for a slower clock. But getting back to the reason why scientists threw away the Galilean transformation equations, can the Galilean transformation equations show the same speed of light in both frames of reference? Instead of saying x=ct and x'=ct' the way Lorentz and Einstein did, we say x=ct and x' =cn', since t'=t in the Galilean transformation equations. x'=x-vt cn' = ct - vt n' = t(1-v/c) At the velocities of planets in their orbits around the sun, this equation for n' will agree with the value of t' in Einstein's equation for time in Special Relativity to several decimal places. The difference with this interpretation is that the time of a clock on the third planet from the sun would not be a force that contracts lengths, curves space, etc. A clock on earth would just be like a clock on any other planet. Considering the equation for n', if the closer to the sun a planet is, the faster its velocity would be in its orbit, then n' would be the time of a clock on the planet, and t would be the time of a clock out in space not affected by the gravitation of the sun. So we start by saying that earth is traveling at 20 miles per second, giving us that n' sec = t (1- 20/186,000). Then having solved for t, we can solve for Mercury's n' using the velocity of Mercury in its orbit, 30 miles per second, then repeating this process for all planets and will observe that Mercury has the slowest clock, and each succeeding planet has a faster clock than Mercury, the outermost planet having the time closest to the time of the clock out in space that shows t. This concept shows that the time of a clock on earth is not a special force that contracts lengths, curves space, etc. It is no different from the way a clock on any other planet is, its rate determined by the energy of the system. I have yet to find a scientist who will discuss this. It is not difficult to understand. Scientists of today are like scientists were when Galileo looked at Jupiter and its moons through a telescope he had made. When Galileo wrote down his observations in a book, the Ptolemaic astronomers of his time went straight to the pope and tattled that Galileo had committed heresy, seeking to protect their interpretation of astronomy. Scientists of today just ignore anything that proves them wrong.
