CNPS Conference At Florida Atlantic University
The 1st Annual Chappell Natural Philosophy Society Conference will be held in about 7 weeks – Wednesday, August 5, 2015 – Saturday, August 8, 2015. As we try to regain the fantastic momentum we had with the NPA before The Disruption, it’s important for all, or as many as possible, to support these new CNPS initiatives. […]

The Essence of the Concept of “Time” Has Been Removed From Physics Lee Smolin, in his book “Time Reborn”, develops the thesis that “time’ has been gradually removed from physics with the final denouement for “time” being the creation of Special and General Relativity. The equations of modern physics, of course, still contain the variable […]
Continue Reading...Empirical Data Does Not Match Special Relativity Time Dilation
Introduction: As reviewed in my prior blog entry, the Twin Paradox debate showed that Special Relativity’s time dilation equation could not logically be discussing “proper time” – i.e., it could not logically be directly describing what was happening physically. To repeat, as Dingle, and not a few other prominent physicists, have argued, “the theory [Special […]

Harry Ricker published two blog items here, entitled, “Einstein’s Mistaken Time Dilation Prediction” And “Dr. Mendel Sachs: Establishment Physicist or Anti-Einstein Revolutionary?” I’ll add my perspective here. As Harry pointed out, Einstein in his 1905 Special Relativity paper made errors in math and in philosophy. In addition, Einstein redefined “time” and he did it with […]
