Relativity - Myths and Ideas. The idea of complete and incomplete co-ordinate systems (CICS) was originated by Steve Bryant, and is published on his web site "Relativity Challenge". His definitions of the co-ordinate systems are:. A Complete Coordinate System is one in which the phenomena under observation (or its associated travel medium) is contained within the coordinate system and moves with it at velocity v.". Bryant suggests that the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. Despite the success of Einstein's theories, there are still doubts as to their philosophic relevance. This is because the theories may be regarded as a factual description of the universe, or as a mathematical model of how the universe behaves. The two are not synonymous. So this section presents brief discussions of:. Hence the fundamental building blocks from which all matter is composed are one dimensional extended objects, "strings". However, the title "string theory" en...

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. Simultaneity-time is a conceptual framework that was first published in 2005. It is based on the observation that the empirical evidence shows that the speed of light is constant in the rest frame. Of the equipment used to measure it, whereas Einstein's theory assumes that the speed of light is constant in all other frames of reference as well. Thus the empirical evidence does not directly support Einstein's assumption. A fuller explanation of simultaneity-time may be found ...

Rel Myth - Twin Paradox

http://relativity-myths.org.uk/myths/p22_TwinParadox.php

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. Under Special Relativity, motion at a constant velocity is relative and relative motion gives rise to the dilation of time (as described by the Lorentz transformation. If the time dilation is taken to be symmetrical, it leads to the impression that there is a paradox, as is illustrated by the "Twin Paradox" thought experiment. However, If the time dilation is symmetrical, then, from the point of view of the traveller, he is stationary in his rest frame.

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. It is widely held that Newtonian. Mechanics requires an absolute space, and that Einstein. S Special Theory of Relativity did away with that need, There are two reasons why this myth may have arisen:. When Sir Isaac Newton. Defined the laws of mechanics, he considered space to be absolute. At the time that Einstein formulated his theory, it was generally held that there. An absolute state of rest, which was defined by the luminiferous aether. Equivalent to a spatial dimension.

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. Rather than the conventional four dimensions (three spatial and one time), the number of dimensions in string theory varies. In its original form there were five variants which had ten dimensions, and one variant (bosonic) with twenty-six dimensions. Since then the M-theory has proposed that there are eleven dimensions. The M-theory was expected to unify the other theories, but this process is not complete. A more technical introduction to string theory may be found here.

Simultaneity-Time

http://relativity-myths.org.uk/simtime/index.php

By T L Hurst. The idea that the speed of light, in empty space, is the same in all frames of reference is fundamental to Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity. Hence in the version of the Einstein's Train thought experiment given by Wikipedia it is stated that the light approaching the ends of the carriage is travelling at. With respect to both the observer on the train, and the observer on the platform. Hence the claim that the light is travelling at. With respect to the observer on the ...

Relativity - Myths and Ideas. Instead he suggests that what is actually taking place is a difference in velocities. This suggests that the "Reciprocity Principle" does not apply to Special Relativity. Note: The Reciprocity Principle is the idea that if object A has a velocity of v. With respect to the rest frame. Of object B, then object B has a velocity of -v. In A's rest frame. This is true in Galilean Relativity. But it is not so in Field's interpretation of Special Relativity. He describes them as "s...
