Big Mistake Made In The Theory Of Physics

Introduction
Around
1999, as a result of some coincidences, I realized that an important
mistake had been made in the Theory of Physics. This unusual situation
encouraged me to work on Theoretical Physics. I started publishing my
works under the name of Alice Law on my website aliceinphyiscs.com,
which I opened in 2001. I have been publishing for about 23 years and I
think my work has reached a certain maturity.
"Why
had been made such a big mistake in the Theory of Physics?". This
question has always bothered me, and I have thought about it
intermittently over the years. The answer I could find to the question
emerged in my thoughts very slowly and over many years. I wanted to
share the conclusion I reached with you. What I will tell you are my
own experiences and thoughts. When I finish this article, it may be a
bit long, but I will not limit my writing and try to shorten it.
I
know that what I write here will upset some people and make some people
very angry. In fact, I don't think anyone will read this article and be
satisfied. I will write uncensored and straightforward. Some parts of
what I will write can compete with horror novels, and some parts with
adventure books.
What
is the education system-related error in information?
We can define education as follows: The event we call education is the
event of the old generation transferring its current knowledge to the
new generation. It has been like this for centuries, and it will be
like this again. But the thing is, if there is a mistake in the
information taught, the new generation to whom the information is
transferred grows up by receiving this wrong information, and when it
is their turn to teach, they teach this wrong information to the next
generation. The wrong information given to you during training becomes
your truth. Of course, when I talk about error here, I am talking about
a mistake in scientific doctrine. I'm talking about a mistake in the
curriculum. How can you be aware of such a mistake? While your teacher
is teaching you, s/he does not know that the subject s/he is teaching
is wrong. And you cannot get an education by thinking "I wonder if the
information I learned is wrong?". Inaccuracy in information in the
education system is a very grave and cruel event. Because being very
smart, being very hard-working, even rising to the level of a highly
respected scientist, or having a title such as doctor, associate
professor, or professor is useless. You pick up the mistake during your
education period and carry that mistake with you throughout your life,
thinking it is right. Correcting errors in information is not the duty
of either the student or the teacher. If there is a mistake in the
doctrine, it is the job of researchers to find and reveal it. But the
process is actually much more complex.
Being
a researcher does not mean being someone who notices mistakes. You may
be a researcher, but you may be someone who carries the mistake. You
notice the mistake, but you may not be able to find the right one. You
may have noticed the mistake and obtained the information to correct
the mistake, but how will you make anyone accept the correct teaching
you have obtained? Unless your ideas are included in the curriculum,
they become unverified personal opinions. When you go out to give a
lecture, you cannot say this is wrong or this is the right way. What is
required of you is to comply with the current curriculum and teach it,
you cannot go beyond it. The only thing you can do is publish and wait
for what you write to be understood.
Educational
knowledge only gains value when it is included in curriculum programs.
In basic sciences such as physics, adding new information to the
curriculum and eliminating errors is only possible through consensus.
Speaking of today, Japanese, Turkish, Norwegian, American, Peruvian,
Congolese, Chinese, Russian, etc. scientists, researchers, etc. related
to the subject participates in the discussion and decides as a
majority. And this is the only way change happens.
What is the source of the big error in the theory of physics?
A
series of wrong decisions during the construction of the
Electromagnetic Theory in the early 1900s caused a permanent error to
become established in the main theory of physics. In those years, it
was intensively researched and discussed whether light obeyed the "Sum
of Velocities Rule". This was a very important issue for physics
because the development of the Electromagnetic Theory would only be
possible if this issue was resolved.
I
need to mention a very critical detail at this stage. If this detail is
not taken into consideration, it will be incomprehensible why a mistake
was made in theory and how the mistake took a place in physics. I'm
talking about the early 1900s. World War I took place between 1914 and
1918, and World War II took place between 1939 and 1945. Of course, it
was not possible for physicists in enemy countries to argue with each
other during wartime. Especially the years of the World War II
(1939-1945) were the years when the world went crazy about physicists,
because the goal was to build the atomic bomb. There was nothing more
valuable than a well-educated physicist. On the other hand, in the
early 1900s, many countries were colonial or underdeveloped. It took
decades for them to gain independence, open universities, and train
physicists. Airmail and passenger planes developed after the 1930s, the
transistor that commenced electronic age was made in 1947, the first
satellite was put into orbit in 1957, personal computers came into use
after 1970, and the internet developed after 1989. For many countries,
achieving such innovations came much later. That's why I'm telling you
all this. At least until the 1950s, and even until the 1960s, it was
not possible to form a healthy consensus among physicists. Consider
that Russia made the atomic bomb in 1961, I cannot imagine American and
Russian physicists discussing freely at that time. A limited number of
people, with limited resources, had the chance to discuss the
construction of the main theory of physics.
The
Michelson-Morley experiment was conducted in 1887 to understand how
light moves in interstellar space. [The Michelson–Morley experiment was
an attempt to measure the relative motion of the Earth and the
luminiferous aether, a supposed medium permeating space that was
thought to be the carrier of light waves. permeating space – Source:
Wikipedia]. Although the experiment ended in failure (because a result
was obtained showing that ether does not exist), it also brought
important information with it. It was understood that despite the
movement of the earth in space, the speed of the light coming to the
earth from all directions is constant relative to the earth and equal
to c (c: speed of light). But the issue of how light behaves has not
been clarified theoretically. Uncertainty continued.
In
1905, Albert Einstein published his idea about the behaviour of light.
The main theme in his idea was to accept that light propagates in empty
space with a constant speed c and that the speed of light is constant
and equal to c according to all reference systems. He called his work
Special Theory of Relativity and proposed a mathematical solution
suitable for his thesis. He also considered the result obtained from
the Michelson-Morley experiment as evidence confirming his theory. But
the Theory of Special Relativity was not a theory that could be easily
understood, because it contained concepts and results that had never
been seen or heard until that day, such as a bending of space-time,
length contraction, time dilation, E=mc2. I can say that it
emerged as a theory that is very difficult to understand.
In
fact, it was possible to develop other theories compatible with the
results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. This should have been the
normal procedure and existing theories should have been discussed and
tested respectively and the truth should have been reached that way.
But it didn't happen this way. It was wartime between 1915 and 1945,
and all kinds of knowledge in physics was very valuable. Stealing
information was one of the most important activities of states, because
valuable information meant making better, more powerful weapons. What
was written and stolen was somehow read, but the fact that a work was
read did not mean that it was correct and did not make it
understandable. Albert Einstein's works were, of course, also read
during this period. So, is the theory understood?
Boom
and boom. The year is 1945. Two cities of Japan were destroyed by
atomic bombs. Everyone was in shock. It was the first time that people
witnessed the emergence of such a great destructive power. Wow, it is
E=mc2, wow, Albert Einstein said this, who is this
man, wow, he wrote the Special Relativity Theory, let's read and learn.
A great deal of interest arose in his theory. The memorable E=mc2, the
extraordinary power revealed by exploding atomic bombs, the great
incomprehensibility of his theory, and the great interest of the
journalism in him exalted him among physicists and elevated him to the
status of a genius human being. But the truth is, Albert Einstein is a
man lost in his own false theory.
I
would like to explain to you why the Special Relativity Theory is wrong
with an example. Let's place a receiver and a transmitter at each end
of a ruler, then send a signal and measure the speed of the signal. We
find the speed of the signal as c. Let's repeat the same experiment in
an airplane traveling at several times the speed of sound. We find the
speed of the signal again as c. There is no hesitation so far. But the
question we need to ask at this stage is: What is the speed of that
signal relative to a person watching that plane from the airport?
According to that person, it is not possible for the speed of that
signal to be c. If you say, not because you know it, but because you
must comply with the theory, that the speed of the signal is c
according to that person, I advise you to get treatment. Actually, your
answer should be "I don't know", because you really don't know, because
it has never been measured.
In
the Michelson-Morley experiment, it was revealed that the speed of
light signals coming to the world from all directions was c. But what
is the speed of those light signals relative to the stars sending those
light signals? The answer to this question does not exist in physics.
It has never been measured and is unknown. The speed of a light signal
sent to a moving object has never been measured. If measurements like
these had been made, the theory of physics today would be at a very
different point. But the pressure of war, the involvement of an
insufficient number of people in the discussion, limited technological
opportunities, the explosion of the atomic bomb, with the emboldening
of journalism the deification of the Einstein as the greatest genius of
all time, all these events permanently embedded the Theory of Special
Relativity into physics. Let's be careful, it is not Albert Einstein
who introduced the Theory of Special Relativity into physics, it is us.
He just wrote his own thoughts.
With
the introduction of Special Relativity Theory into physics, a great
disaster and witch hunt began within the world of science. If you
opposed Einstein's theory, you were persona non grata. Opposing the
Theory of Special Relativity became synonymous with being
unintelligent. If you didn't understand the theory, you weren't an
acceptable, respected scientist. But not understanding could be
considered normal up to a point, you didn't have to upset yourself too
much just because you couldn't understand it. Saying some things and
cheating was enough. If you go at the speed of light, you will never
grow old, as you speed up you get shorter, space-time can bend, moving
clocks slow down. If you said these, your status changed, and you were
considered a smart scientist. Bingo... even if you don't understand,
make sure you look like you understand.
Here,
I will talk a little about why the Theory of Special Relativity is
incomprehensible. When you assume that the speed of light is constant
for all reference systems, you are forced to accept that for a moving
object the dimension and time change in proportion to the speed of the
object. As a result, common geometry and common time
between objects
disappear. All you have is the mathematics of the theory and you try to
understand your surroundings and get somewhere with it. But since the
theory is fundamentally wrong, its mathematics will not show you the
right things either. Ultimately you get lost. Let me give an example: "You
are the same age as your spouse. When you are forty
years old, you are going to space, but your spouse is staying on Earth.
You are travelling at the speed of light for twenty years and coming
back to earth again. When you return, both you and your spouse will be
sixty years old. Nothing more, nothing less." Try to explain the
same example based on the Special Relativity Theory.
Obstacles in thoughts and conditioned thoughts
I
will tell you about a situation that exists mathematically. Let's
consider a star. Let's assume that the earth is moving away from this
star with speed v. We know that the speed of a light signal sent by the
star to the earth will be c relative to the earth (Michelson-Morley
experiment). Let our perspective on the event be the reference system
of the star. The Earth is moving away from the star with speed v, and
the light signal it sends is approaching with speed c relative to the
Earth. In this case, the speed of that light signal relative to the
star should be c + v. If the earth approached the star with a speed of
v, the speed of the light signal would have to be c-v relative to the
star. While such a possibility clearly exists mathematically, this
situation has not been discussed and the necessary measurements have
not been made in the past. If these measurements had been made, you
would most likely be in Alice Law today. What was not done and
discussed in the past should be done and discussed today.
Let
me tell you a little about Alice Law, which is my own work. Alice Law
is not a study that produces theory. Alice Law is a study that accepts
the mathematical result that emerged in the Star and Earth example that
I mentioned in the paragraph above and examines the consequences of
this acceptance. I collected the results into a book and published it
in 2017. You can access the book from aliceinphysics.com and read it
freely. But can you understand it? I think the answer is no, because
there is a huge problem. You cannot understand Alice Law by looking
through the window of Special Relativity Theory, which is well
established in your thoughts.
Due
to the error in the information in the education system, people's
thoughts have been injured and sick. With the introduction of Special
Relativity Theory into the education system, the mistake in the main
theory of physics made everyone sick. If you realize you are sick, you
can fight it. With this article, I am holding out a branch that will
pull you out of where you are. The branch I am holding out will take
you back to the early 1900s, when the Special Relativity Theory was not
yet in physics. There you will see people gathered around a table,
talking to each other. Look at the books on the table, those books are
road maps suggested by various researchers. You will see the Special
Relativity Theory book written by Albert Einstein and the Alice Law
book written by me on the table. Maybe others will bring their own
books and place them on the same table. People who come there gather
there for a very important purpose. Those who gather around that table
today will make the discussions and measurements that were not made or
made in the past for various reasons. They are people who think and
plan the future of physics. Those people will decide which path they
should take in physics in the future. Maybe they will decide to
continue with the Special Relativity Theory again. But this time, all
measurements will have been made and the journey will continue without
leaving any details behind that can be discussed. Maybe they decide to
continue with Alice Law, in which case Special Relativity Theory will
remain on that table. If you want to be among those people, you need to
purify your thoughts. While you have the Special Relativity theory in
your mind, you cannot understand the other books on the table, and you
think they are wrong.
Reaching the truth
Let's
assume for a moment that the Theory of Special Relativity turns out to
be a false theory. Can you imagine the magnitude of the apocalypse that
will break out? Generations lost in meaninglessness, countless works,
thoughts, dreams and efforts will all disappear.
The
beautiful thing about the truth is that it will definitely be revealed
one day. If the Theory of Special Relativity is wrong, this will
definitely come to light one day. What is important here is this: A
theory that is within the backbone of physics and has entered the
education system should not have a dilemma like "Is it true or false?".
The certainty of such a theory cannot be left to coincidences. If what
needs to be done is postponed, when the opposite situation occurs, the
size of the casualties and disaster that will occur will increase.
Currently, between five hundred thousand and one million physicists and
astronomers trained in Special Relativity Theory are still actively
working in the world. Every year, we train thousands of physicists and
astronomers who join them through our education system. I am calling
out to you. Take ownership of your own future. You should protect your
future, your efforts and not make your publications controversial.
Let's do what needs to be done
If
a theory is to be included in physics, the main hypothesis on which the
theory is based must first be tested. The fact that side results of a
theory appear in experiments does not show that that theory is correct.
Let me give a very striking example. Special Relativity Theory predicts
the existence of situations such as "time dilation" and "length
contraction". Among the results of Alice Law, there are "time shift"
and "length shift". How will you know which theory a side result you
obtain in measurement belongs to? Therefore, testing the possible
consequences of a theory should be done after the main hypothesis of
the theory has been tested. The accuracy of a theory is not certain
until the main hypothesis is tested.
I
can say that Special Relativity Theory is based on the following
assumption as its main hypothesis: Light propagates with speed c in
empty space according to all reference systems, regardless of the speed
of the source from which it is emitted.
For Alice Law, the
following main hypothesis is valid: Light reaches its destination in
empty space with a speed of c, regardless of the speed of the source
from which it is emitted.
We
can therefore devise a measurement based on the previously mentioned
Star and Earth example.
Measuring the speed of a light signal that we send from an object to
another object moving relative to it will test the main hypotheses of
both theories together and determine the result. This experiment
also will be an experiment that answers important questions such as "Does
the Sum of Velocities Rule apply to electromagnetic waves?" and "What
should we understand when the constant c is mentioned?".
The measurement result should be as follows according to both theories:
According to Special Relativity Theory: the speed of the signal should
not change depending on the object that is the source of the signal and
should be c.
According to Alice Law: since the speed of the signal will be c
relative to the moving target object, it will not be c relative to the
object sending the signal.
The outcome of this experiment will regulate the general theory of
Physics.
Things needs to be said
As
a researcher, you can have very different opinions and put your own
book on that table. However, there is a condition for this; you must
write down what result will be obtained in the measurement.
It
will be seen that the measurement result will support Alice Law. This
would be a natural result because Alice Law mathematically represents a
situation that already exists. Obtaining an opposite result in
measurement would lead to the conclusion that the laws of physics may
not comply with the rules of mathematics, which is not possible.
It
may seem impossible to you, for light to arrive at a speed of c
relative to its destination, independent of the source emitting it. But
it doesn't matter what you think. The laws of physics do not ask
people's opinions. There are countless examples of nature's creativity
far beyond human imagination. Physics is a branch of science that
strives to discover and understand the rules of physics. Even though it
is very difficult and takes a lot of time, we are learning new things
and moving forward in physics. Do not confine yourself to narrow
patterns and narrow thoughts. The idea that the speed of light is
constant according to all reference systems is just a dream and a
prison for you. Purify your thoughts and transport yourself back to the
early 1900s and continue from there. In those years, there were
discussions about how light travels in space and what the constant c
is. Alice Law gives you the opportunity to learn this.
