What Happened To The Principle Of Relativity?
In his book Science and Hypothesis, first published in French in 1902, Poincare gives to the principle of relativity the status of a unifying principle in both mathematics and physics. It is an important theme of the book, which unifies this collection of essays. At the end of the book, Poincare discusses how this principle […]

This is the best science documentary film that I have ever seen. It puts physical science into its correct and proper place behind philosophy, logic, and religion, instead of superior to them, in terms of the definition of what is truth. It is a film that I wish that I had made, because it makes […]

William Gilbert of Colchester was born in 1544AD. As the founder of English experimental science, he is one of the great men of the scientific revolution. His most important single idea and enduring result was that the earth itself is a gigantic magnet. He was the eldest of five children born to a rising middle […]

Introduction The unification of physics as a fundamental goal is older than modern science. Thales argued that water was the universal substance; the earliest attempt at a unified natural philosophy. The hypothesis of unification is that diverse, complex, and apparently unrelated phenomena, can be unified under a single principle that unifies the phenomena under the […]

Unlike the much more famous paradox of the twins, the light sphere paradox is relatively unknown. It forms the basis of the claim that the velocity of light is the same value c in all inertial frames in relative motion. Its paradoxical aspect has not produced the volume of critical discussion or commanded the attention […]

Deep, Dangerous, Determined, that is the summary description of the film Deepsea Challenge, that is a 2014 dramatic ocean exploration adventure 3D film produced by the National Geographic Society. The film is about the glamor, danger, thrill and, magnificent grandeur of deep sea ocean exploration and its focus is upon human accomplishment in the face […]

The purpose of this short note is to expand upon a conclusion I discussed in my paper on the Irksomeness of Einstein’s Special Theory Of Relativity . There it was pointed out that the famous prediction made by Einstein in his 1905 paper was false. Einstein said that a clock placed at the equator should […]

Dr. Mendel Sachs, professor of physics, presents an enigma to any one investigating Einstein and his relativity theories. On the one hand Dr. Sachs appears to be a dedicated establishment disciple of Einstein and his theories, and on the other he appears to be a critic, although not a very vociferously vocal one, of Einstein’s […]
Continue Reading...Herbert Dingle Maverick Scientist and Anti-Einstein Philosopher Of Science
Herbert Dingle was a 20th century physicist, philosopher and historian of science, author of scientific books, and an untiring critic of science and scientific method. He is best known for his criticism of the special theory of relativity, stemming from controversies over the twins paradox in the 1950s, and his book Science At The Crossroads […]

The purpose of this article is to publish and comment upon a letter written by Louis Essen and sent to Dr. Carl Zapffe. The letter is interesting because it compresses into a few short lines the essence of Louis Essen’s criticism of Einstein’s theory of relativity. The letter was provided to the writer by Jack […]
