Mathematics is powerful and dangerous
Mathematics is powerful and dangerous John-Erik Persson john.erik.persson@gmail.com It is very important that we always remember that mathematics is just a tool for doing physics. The fact that math really is very powerful, has a negative side in the high risk that we may forget to see this important distinction, and thereby be fooled by […]

Decontamination of physics John-Erik Persson The three pillars of physics Modern physics is based on the following basic concepts: Quantum mechanics, or QM. Special theory of relativity, or SRT. General theory of relativity, or GRT. QM Since light is not observable, we must draw conclusions about light from matter, in the form of electrons, exposed […]

Gravity does not move! John-Erik Persson Abstract The speed of gravity has been a much-discussed concept. However, in this article it is demonstrated that gravity does not move at all. This conclusion is based on a theory of quantum gravity, that was presented by Fatio 300 years ago. It is found that Fatio’s model was […]

The illusions of time dilation, Big Bang and Pioneer anomaly john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract A classical mechanism in atomic clocks explains the behavior of atomic clocks in the global positioning system (GPS), by the state of motion of the ether, inside the clocks. Therefore, the concept dilation of time is a not needed and is just an […]
