CHAPTER I

1. WHERE WAS THE BIG MISTAKE MADE
IN PHYSICS?
The mistake made in the theory
of science of physics is so clear and simple that I am sure you will be
baffled by it. It would be better to present the topic with a situation:
Relative to the observer, the
Green car is moving away at a speed of 50 km/h. The Red car is
approaching the Green car at a speed of 30 km/h. Relative to the
observer, what is the speed of the red car?
It's a very easy question. As
the red car is 30 km/h faster than the green car;
We can find the answer if we add up the speed of the red car relative
to the green car with the speed of the Green car. Relative to the
observer, the speed of the red car is 50+30 = 80 km/h.
Now we are moving on to The
Electromagnetic Theory with a very similar question. I am writing the
words with utmost care, so please be careful yourself, as well.
Relative to the observer, the
Green car goes in the direction of the arrow at v speed. The observer
on the ground holds her lantern towards the outgoing Green car.
Relative to the reference system of the Green car, the speed of
light coming towards it is c. (c = speed of light constant). In this
case, relative to the observer on the ground, what is the speed of the
light going towards the Green car?
If we use the example above as a
base, can we give an answer as follows?
Relative to the reference system of the Green car, the light
approaches it at a speed of c. Relative to the observer, the speed of
the car is v. Therefore, if we add up the speed of the light that comes
at the speed of "c" relative to the reference system of the Green car,
with the speed of the Green car, we find the speed of the light going
to the Green car relative to the reference system of the observer
on the ground. The result will be "c+v". A highly mathematical
result.
But how did physics answer
this question?
The answer of physics: "The
speed of light is constant relative to all reference systems and does
not change. Therefore, the speed of the light going to the Green car
will be c relative to the observer on the ground, as well."
There are, of course, some
important reasons behind this answer. But no reason can justify the big
mistake they made because they did not measure the speed of the
light going to a moving target; they made a decision without actually
measuring it. If they had carried out this measurement that was
vital for them, the science of physics would not have fallen into this
big mistake. You cannot make a decision in physics without identifying
and testing all the possibilities. This was a wrong decision; it was a
grave mistake.
I think I presented the topic
quite clearly. In the figure above, as a mathematical result, the speed
of the light going to the car relative to the reference system of the
observer on the ground must be c+v. As can be seen, Alice Law stands on
the path that accepts this mathematical result without questioning it.
Why the light moves and behaves like this is the topic of this book.
But now, let’s see what these wrong decisions by the physicists led to.
I wrote a short dialogue for the fun of it.
Journalist- Sir, you are saying that the speed of light traveling towards a car will be "c" according to an observer on the ground? Can we learn the reason?
Professor- Ahem... The speed of light is constant. We know that light propagates in a vacuum at what we call the speed of light constant. The speed of light remains unchanged in all reference systems. This is a fantastic mystery of nature.
Journalist- This is a strange thing, it seems like mathematics is being violated.
Professor- Indeed. Because of this property of light, we have arrived at a great theory like the Theory of Relativity. It is such a magical world that, in it, rulers contract, clocks slow down, masses increase, and everything becomes a magnificent phenomenon. Time and dimensions change. You can stay young forever.
Journalist- Wow, that’s very exciting.
