Mathematics is powerful and dangerous Sep 2, 2022 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 math. This fact is here demonstrated to be true in many areas of science. Euclidean geometry In the geometry regarding straight lines in a flat ... more |

Decontamination of physics Jul 7, 2022 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 to light. We use electrons as discrete detectors and we see a stream from a photo detector, quantized into electrons. Our detectors ... more |

Gravity does not move! Jun 14, 2022 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 abolished on false grounds, due to the lack of aberration in gravity. Fatio’s model Fatio explained gravity by an ether composed of extremely fast and extremely... more |

The illusion of time dilation, Big Bang and Pioneer anomaly Apr 3, 2022 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 illusion caused by dilation of clocks, instead. False support for time dilation has been given by an assumption, of a transverse ether wind to cau... more |

Ron was wrong Mar 11, 2021 Ron Hatch was a prominent expert working in the global posotioning system (GPS). Ron was right in his refutations of Einstein's theory of relativity (SRT), based on experiences from GPS. Ron was also wrong regarding his exlanation to the aberration observed in very long base interferometry (VLBI), based on gravity from our sun. Instead, an alternative interpretation based on the Sagnac effect is presented in the link below. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349988367_The_Scandalous... more |

Ivor Catt and The Myth Of The Rolling Wave Nov 4, 2020 The myth of the rolling wave is a term used by this writer to describe a problem in electromagnetic theory first raised by the English scientist Ivor Catt, in articles published in the English magazine Wireless World. The problem is referred to as a myth, since it has its source not in physics textbooks, but in popularizations of physics, designed for the general scientifically educated audience, but not for experts in the field of classical electromagnetic theory. The term rolling wave was used... more |

Mistakes? Aug 17, 2020 Mistakes – or? Science became fiction Physics became fiction between 1882 and 1887, since the real motion of light (a vector sum; beam direction) was assumed to be controlled by collimator, distant mirror and telescope in MMX and in the detection of stellar aberration. However, the ether wind is irrelevant in relation to reflectors and refractors. Therefore, in coherent systems we must use apparent motion instead (disregarding ether wind inside the wave front; ray direction). So, the et... more |

Gravity 2 Jul 13, 2020 Gravity – a Neutrino Effect? John-Erik Persson About 300 years ago an ether model, that could explain gravity, was presented by Fatio. He assumed very fast and very small particles to propagate in all directions. These particles could penetrate large bodies like Earth. However, this penetration had the effect that the intensity in the flow was very slightly reduced by a body like Earth. Therefore, the flow leaving Earth is somewhat smaller than the flow towards our planet. This small di... more |

MEMO to CNPS conference 2020 about waves May 20, 2020 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341522308_MEMO_to_CNPS_conference_2020_about_waves The wave models – beam and ray The vector sum, c+v, defines the motion of a beam, and can only be roughly estimated as the direction of maximal amplitude, and is therefore not very important. The motion of a ray as c(1+vL/c), excluding the ether wind inside the wave front, and thereby describing a wave front, can be detected by extreme precision in coherent systems based on reflectors or refracto... more |

The MMX question May 10, 2020 The wave front and the mirror Due to the irrelevance of the ether wind in relation to mirrors wave fronts in MMX are conserved in equipment frame, and mirrors are conserving wave fronts, as stated in the MEMO to the NPA conference in 2009. This has been defined in different ways, but, since the important MMX tests are done with resonators, a specific derivation related to this test form can give a new version of this proof. Since light travels many times between the resonator mirrors, wav... more |

About Michelson-Morley Apr 13, 2020 COMMENTS ON THE MICHELSON-MORLEY PARADOX SOLVED By Justin Jacobs https://mmpsolved.com Nick Percival had asked me to comment on this article, and I think the blog is suitable for this purpose. I think that the paper contains many good arguments against the special theory of relativity. It is demonstrated that Einstein used mathematics as a magician and applied trickery. I also agree to the fact that Einstein and Lorentz introduced time dilation and contraction of length, or spa... more |

How Science Became Fiction Apr 1, 2020 John-Erik Persson Background https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340377778_How_Science_Became_Fiction Modern physics states that twins can become of different ages, if they have moved with very different speeds. The reason is that time is said to progress with different speeds for individuals in different states of motion. This is called time dilation. These ideas are in conflict with common sense, and therefore called the paradox of twins. Time dilation has been very producti... more |

Individual aging -- science or fiction? Mar 21, 2020 https://www.gsjournal.net/Science-Journals/Essays/View/8161 The idea of individual aging has been productive in science fiction – and caused a dead end in physics. This idea is an effect of time dilation and caused by Potier in 1882. He changed Michelson’s prediction based on constant wave vector, c, to constant wave magnitude, c, in the equipment frame in Michelson and Morley’s tests (MMX). Therefore, Michelson’s prediction was changed in error to the half of its earlier value. So, ... more |

The Third Option Mar 1, 2020 john.erik.persson@gmail.com https://www.researchgate.net/publication/339602288_The_Third_Option Binary logic, excluding the middle, has produced binary computers, but also contributed to binary thinking in the western world, for instance in politics.

A possible third alternative could be: yes, th... more |

Is the Ether Wind Decidable? Feb 7, 2020 john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract An illusion of undecidability of an ether wind was the basis for establishing the theory of special relativity (SRT). The reason to that mistake was a wrong interpretation of light behavior in both arms in the Michelson and Morley’s tests (MMX), and also in the interpretation of stellar aberration. A deviation from the wave model gave us the illusion of particles in light, and also resulted in the absurd idea that the time concept is dilated, due... more |

Critical Thinkers Jan 12, 2020 Critical Thinkers? Do they exist? I have searched for them with mails and blog posts, but failed to see them. Critical thinkers should like to discuss with opponents, but I have found that members and directors in CNPS finish conversation when they see a great discrepancy in opinions, instead of regarding this as a reason for more debate. They write a comment in one sentence and after that they start to preach their personal religion, in mails and in blog ‘comments’. (See my blog.) I ... more |

Two important errors in MMX Dec 16, 2019 In the longitudinal arm: The assumption that transverse forces propagate as c+/-v should be followed by the same assumption regarding longitudinal forces. Therefore, the assumed effect is compensated and not observable. In the transverse arm: The assumption that the vector sum c+v is reflected by the distant mirror is wrong, since the mirror is transparent to v. Therefore, only c is reflected and constant in equipment frame, and therefore no effect in the transverse arm in MMX. See ... more |

Fundamental Errors behind Paradoxes in Physics Jun 11, 2019 Fundamental Errors behind the Paradoxes in Physics John-Erik Persson, Budkavlevägen 5, Segeltorp, Sweden john.erik.persson@gmail.com Abstract We will see how denial of the ether concept, and confusions regarding the behavior of light, are the case of the many paradoxes in modern physics. Without the ether, the law of energy conservation is misleading. The wave or particle confusion has produced the twin paradox. However, by strict following the wave model for light and accepting th... more |

Fundamental Error behind Time Dilation May 31, 2019 John-Erik Persson john.erik.persson@gmail.com The ether wind can be blowing inside the wave fronts of light. This means that light does not always move transverse to wave fronts. The ether wind, v, caused by planetary rotation is about 10-6 times c. Therefore, the difference between total motion, according to the vector sum, c+v, and the normal to the wave front, c, in most cases can be ignored. However, when we regard Michelson-Morley’s tests this small angle, 10-6 radians, becomes imp... more |

Continuous Radiation from Bound Electrons May 26, 2019 The cyclic motion of a bound electron (A) produces a cyclic disturbance in the surrounding ether. This disturbance (a potential force) moves with the speed c. If, and only if, this potential force hits another electron (B), then at that moment a real force on B is produced. This force cannot earlier be realized since the force is proportional to the product of the charge in A and the charge in B. So, we find that the force on B is produced after a time delay. This delay means that that no energ... more |

Potier was wrong Aug 17, 2018 This article explains how time dilation has been used to cover up for a mistake, that was introduced by Potier, when Einstein was a child. Potier did not observe that mirrors are transparent to the ether wind, and therefore the mirrors are controlling c only – and not c+v. Potier’s mistake Potier reduced Michelson’s prediction for MMX (his tests together with Morley) by half. He did that by introducing an effect of the ether wind also in the transverse arm of the equipment. Potier said... more |

However, does time really exist? Why is there an “arrow of time” while the equations of physics are reversible with variable t... more |
