The Special Theory of Relativity: Mathematical Refutations : 9781500779528

Conceivably, Einstein's theory of the Special Relativity has been the most criticized theoretical physics work of the 20th century. The theory itself involves some counterintuitive assumptions leading to absurd, rather unrealistic outcomes and paradoxes, giving the theory a kind of a fictitious, surrealistic aspect!Most opponents argue that the theory is mathematically sound, yet its mathematical formulation is based on faulty assumptions. Therefore, most attempts to disprove the Special Relativity have been oriented towards identifying inconsistent or illogical outcomes concluded from its predictions. This book, however, sets forth an analytical study of the Special Relativity formulation. It reveals that the Special Relativity assumptions are inconsistent, resulting in space and time transformations embedding mathematical contradictions. The unviability of the Special Relativity predictions is ascertained through various mathematical arguments, concluding that the theory is actually built upon the interpretations of a theoretical, deceptively plausible linear coordinate transformation-in a hypothetically four dimensional spacetime-derived from not only imaginary assumptions, but contradictory as well!
