An Open Letter to the Scientific Community
(Published in New Scientist, May 22, 2004)
"The big bang today relies on a growing number of
hypothetical entities, things that we have never observed-- inflation, dark
matter and dark energy are the most prominent examples. Without them, there
would be a fatal contradiction between the observations made by astronomers
and the predictions of the big bang theory. In no other field of physics
would this continual recourse to new hypothetical objects be accepted as a
way of bridging the gap between theory and observation. It would, at the
least, raise serious questions about the validity of the underlying theory.

INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM:
This website is mainly concerned with revisionism in cosmology. Those of us
involved in replacing the unnatural expanding-universe paradigm are aware of
the difficulties involved.
However,
other revisionists have unimaginable difficulties. Consider the ongoing
persecution of revisionists in other fields of intellectual pursuit:
"It makes you wonder —about the immense effort being made
by State and State-sponsored organizations with budgets of tens of millions
of dollars and thousands of employees and associates to smother and punish
these few men and women. Every punishing instrument imaginable is used,
every vicious slander conceivable, every flagrant and pervasive form of
censorship that law allows, including the imprisonment of simple writers for
thought crimes against the State. ... Makes you wonder." —Bradley R.
Smith (2011)

DEDICATION: This website is solemnly dedicated to those
individuals who have conducted research in their chosen field and have
informed others of their inquiries and suffered the consequences when
subpoenaed by the Inquisition or some variant thereof. The dedication
extends to those individuals currently imprisoned, and those now facing
trial and persecution simply for exercising their basic human right of
freedom of expression supposedly granted to them under the UN Charter of

"What historians
of science will find is that Einstein essentially arrived at a valid
formalism from a wrong assumption.
Einstein wrongly believed that you cannot postulate the existence of a
preferred frame-of-reference and at the same time postulate a
constant speed of light for all observers."

1. Abstract & Link
Abstract: Several loopholes in the logic structure of
Einstein’s special relativity (ESR) are detailed. The exploitation of the
loopholes leads to what is being called Extended relativity (also referred
to as DSSU* Extended relativity). The Extended Lorentz transformations are
presented; as well as the Extended relativity equations for time, length,
momentum, mass, and kinetic energy. The optical interferometer experiments
of Michelson & Morley and of Miller are analyzed and discussed. The
significance of the difference between the vacuum-mode and gas-mode
interferometer experiments is emphasized. While one experiment mode is
consistent with a key hypothesis of Einstein; the other mode exposes a
serious flaw. The repeated discovery of light-speed anisotropy, also
referred to as the detection of absolute motion, exposes the inadequacy and
incompleteness of the Einstein postulates. Essentially, the present Paper
charts a course by which relativity theory can be made more inclusive and
conform to the existence and detectability of ‘absolute’ motion.
* DSSU is the acronym for Dynamic Steady State
Universe. It is a model based on the premise that all things are
processes.
Keywords: Special
relativity; DSSU extended relativity; relative motion;
absolute motion; preferred frame; aether space; Lorentz transformation;
lightspeed anisotropy; Dynamic Steady State Universe.
Extrait: Deux échappatoires dans
la structure logique de la relativité spéciale d'Einstein (ESR) sont
détaillées. L'exploitation des échappatoires mène à ce qui s'appelle la
relativité Prolongée (également désignée sous le nom de la
relativité-prolongée de DSSU*). Les transformations prolongées de Lorentz
sont présentées; aussi bien que les équations de la relativité prolongée
pendant le temps, la longueur, le moment, la masse, et l'énergie cinétique.
Les expériences optiques d'interféromètre de Michelson & Morley et de Miller
sont analysées et discutées. La signification de la différence entre le
mode-vide et le mode-gaz des expériences d'interféromètre est soulignée.
Tandis qu'un mode d'expérience est compatible avec une hypothèse principale
d'Einstein; l'autre mode expose un défaut sérieux. La découverte répétée de
l'anisotropie de lumière-vitesse, également désignée sous le nom de la
détection du mouvement absolu, expose l'insuffisance et l'imperfection des
postulats d'Einstein. Essentiellement, le papier présent dresse un cours
par lequel la théorie de la relativité peut être rendue plus incluse et
conforme à l'existence et à la détectabilité du mouvement 'absolu`.
* DSSU est
l'acronyme pour l'univers équilibré dynamique. C'est un modèle basé sur l’idée
que toutes les choses sont des processus.

"Let me congratulate you for yet another outstanding paper.
'Loopholes' is a winner. I read it through last night before
heading off to sleep and though the hour was late it kept me awake for
some time after because it was so thoughtfully and beautifully
rendered. It's no easy task to take on Einstein's [oversight]
but you do this without destroying Relativity Theory --you simply
extend Special Relativity by proving the DSSU aether flow as being
absolute and dynamic ... in this process of extending Special
Relativity you are laying the groundwork for your next paper. I
love how you went about developing the powerful irrefutable
Michelson-Morley, Miller, and Bradley evidence. You didn't miss
a beat either ---by extending the Lorentz transformations to back this
up and strengthen your case. Your figure illustrations, comparative
tables, and flowcharts, bolster your text and thankfully were easy to
understand. The material you covered on 'length contraction', 'speed
of light relative to aether flow and velocity measurements' are
nicely presented. As tough as math is for me I came away from
reading this paper both enlightened and enthused and gained a new
appreciation for equations regardless of being unable to handle the
unfamiliar symbol nomenclature and algebra. I believe having recently
read Mario Livio's book on Symmetry[1] helped me to appreciate and
trust the symmetry that your back-up equations reveal. I will read and
study this paper again and again ... "

3. Review with Author's Response
--The Meaningful Question
One professional reviewer believes that a proper analysis of the
air-mode Michelson-interferometer experiment should predict a null result
(i.e., no fringe shift) and kindly suggests a way to do the analysis to
achieve a null prediction.
The reviewer, however, completely overlooks the fact that the actual
experiments give positive results (i.e., measurable fringe shifts)!
If an experiment gives positive results —as the Miller experiments
consistently produced— then you would certainly want your theory to predict
positive results. Yet the reviewer would like to see a negative (null)
prediction!! ... What can I possibly say?
Anyway, here are the reviewer's comments followed by my
(slightly expanded) response.
|
Reviewer (A) item 17: ... I believe that the reason DSSU [theory]
predicts a non-null result is that the speed of light in the gas analyzed
in the present paper does not take into account the fact that the gas is
moving with respect to the aether. I believe that once the latter effect is
included, a null prediction will be obtained.
(I believe this is how Lorentz agrees with Einstein on such a test, but I haven’t worked out the
details myself.) —per 2010 August review |
Author’s response: The speed of the air, with respect to aether,
should not be of any concern. (Keep in mind, Lorentz’s aether can be
ignored since it was supposedly undetectable; Einstein, of course, did not
use an aether.) Why should there be any concern as to the speed of
the air?—after all, the air is the
same in both arms of the interferometer apparatus. The real question should
be, why is the speed of light different for the two perpendicular directions
of the apparatus arms? The speed of light is supposed to be, by postulate,
the same in all directions —and it should not matter in the least whether
one takes measurements in vacuum or in air. The air in and around the
apparatus is NOT moving —it is isotropic. The meaningful question is, why
is the speed of light not isotropic in an isotropic medium?
The Lorentz theory and the ESR theory struggle to find an answer. It is a simple
question; it deserves a straight forward answer. None has been proffered.
But, aside from the observation of basic anisotropy, there is a far more
devastating issue here. The real concern —the one that checkmates
conventional relativity— should be with the fact that, regardless of the
experimental method, the direction of maximum anisotropy (the direction of
absolute motion or, the same thing, the direction of aether flow) is found
to be remarkably consistent. The direction is always toward the same region
of the celestial sphere!
As a point of interest: It is the fact that the relativity purists, many
years ago, in the years following 1933, failed to acknowledge the checkmate
situation that allowed the game to continue. The strategy was, since they
couldn’t deal with the evidence coming from Dayton Miller’s experiments,
they simply dismissed it and ignored it ; and, oh yes, derision of person
and ideas was part of the strategy. Even science writer Martin Gardner, in
at least one of his books, participated in ridiculing Miller and his work.
But the evidence was there; and the game dragged on. It dragged into a new
century.
In the year 2002, with the discovery of the causal mechanism of gravity,
the application of a new physics, and other developments, the checkmate
argument was back —and for this round it was back in full strength.
The relativity purists are now probably fewer in number (or at least in
proportion) but they seem not to have changed their game plan. And,
predictably, they still don’t have a meaningful answer.
The Einstein theory (as well as the Lorentz theory) is unable to say
why the speed of light is not isotropic in an isotropic medium. Within
Einstein’s special relativity the question remains: Why is the speed of
light different in two different directions?
What about the supporting evidence? Do other experiments, in addition to
Miller’s, agree with the DSSU analysis?
As pointed out in the Manuscript: The value of 360 km/s that DSSU theory
predicts from the Miller data is within 13.8% of the modern experimental
value of 418 km/s obtained by Australian physicist Reginald T. Cahill in
2006. The method employed a combination coaxial RF cable and an optical
fiber. Significantly, it was not an interferometer experiment.
The DSSU analysis [in the present Paper] is also supported by the
findings of the Roland DeWitte experiment conducted in Brussels, in 1991.
The DeWitte coaxial cable experiment (a 1st-order-effect device) using
atomic clocks revealed a speed of absolute motion of approximately 400
km/s.
That the DeWitte and the Cahill experiments are not Michelson
interferometers is highly significant.
|
“That these very different experiments [Miller’s interferometer and
DeWitte’s atomic clocks] show the same speed and RA of absolute motion is
one of the most startling discoveries of the twentieth century.” —R. T.
Cahill, The Michelson and Morley 1887 Experiment and the Discovery of
Absolute Motion (Progress in Physics Vol. 3, 2005) p29
|
Incidentally, the Michelson-and-Morley velocities, in 1887, were lower
than Miller's
primarily because the geographical latitude of Cleveland was less favorable
than that of Mt Wilson (the site of Miller’s experiments).

4. Supplementary Discussion

"No fairer destiny could be
allotted to any physical theory than that it should of itself point
out the way to the introduction of a more comprehensive theory, in
which it lives on as a limiting case."
