Synopsis
This book explores the rise of Einstein's theories within the broader history of scientific understanding, while challenging their core principles. It argues that Einstein's relativity theories, by interpreting the forms of space and time as physical quantities that are relative to the observer, undermines the very concept of objective reality by making the laws of nature dependent on perspective. The author demonstrates how Einstein extended his theory of special relativity, initially applicable to constant uniform motion, to all forms of motion including acceleration due to gravity. By showing how Einstein's theories fail to distinguish between real and apparent motion, and phenomenal and real qualities, the author reveals the fatal flaws in Einstein's project to unify the laws of physics under a single framework. This book will appeal to those interested in the history and philosophy of science, and those seeking a deeper understanding of the limitations of scientific theories. It reveals the importance of distinguishing between the phenomenal forms of our experience and the real structures of the world, a lesson that is of particular significance in our current age of misinformation and fake news.
