• Catalogue of Errors for Both Theories of Relativity

    From LaurenceClarkCrossen@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 27 19:48:54 2025
    The overview of around 130 serious errors in the special theory of
    relativity and, just in passing, also those in the general theory of
    relativity gives each reader of relativistic presentations
    the opportunity to check the completeness of these presentations and
    their lines of argument.
    Each theoretical error is accompanied by a very concise account of the
    critical argumentation.
    In general, comments and references to the literature are given.
    Structuring in 21 specific groups:
    A. Ether
    B. Light
    C. Space
    D. Time
    E. Motion
    F. Electromagnetism
    G. Minkowski's World
    H. Mathematics
    J. Mass/Energy
    K. Mass/Velocity
    L. Gravitation
    M. The General Theory of Relativity
    N. Thermodynamics
    O. Experiment
    P. Epistemology
    Q. Methodology
    R. Theoretical Structure
    S. Presentations
    T. Social Enforcement
    U. Effect on Outsiders
    V. Motives

    Overview of the Catalogue of Errors
    A: Ether
    Error A 1
    The Michelson-Morley Experiment (MME)
    1881/87 is said to have proven the nonexistence of the ether
    Error A 2
    All repetitions of the Michelson-Morley
    experiment (interferometry experiments to
    give proof of running-time differences;
    MME) are said to have resulted in the same
    "null result", thereby repeatedly confirming
    the STR
    Error A 3
    The Michelson-Morley experiment (MME)
    is said to have proven the constancy of the
    speed of light
    Error A 4
    The Michelson-Morley Experiment (MME)
    is said to have proven the non-existence of
    "absolute space"
    Error A 5
    With his STR, Albert Einstein is said to
    have "abolished" the ether in 1905
    Error A 6
    The positive result of the 1913 Sagnac experiment (obtained with a
    rotating interferometer) and its implications are denied in
    the STR interpretations
    Error A 7
    The reintroduction of the ether by Albert
    Einstein in 1921 had no consequences for
    the STR
    Error A 8
    The running-time differences clearly detected in the experiments
    conducted by Dayton
    C. Miller in 1925/27 are denied in the STR
    presentations
    Error A 9
    Disregarding the 3-K background radiation
    discovered in 1965
    B: Light
    Error B 1
    According to Albert Einstein, the constancy
    of the speed of light in a vacuum is supposed to constitute a principle
    Error B 2
    All variously moving observers are supposed to measure the same speed of
    light, c,
    for the same ray of light
    Error B 3
    The claim of a constant speed of light (c
    constant) requires measurement of the oneway speed of light, which has
    so far not
    proved possible
    Error B 4
    The claimed independence of the speed of
    light from the motion of its source (C-I)
    presupposes a medium (the ether) and
    thereby contradicts the STR
    Error B 5
    The claim that the speed of light is the
    greatest possible speed in the universe (CM) has not been proven and, as
    a disqualifying claim, cannot be proven either
