The Karl Marx of Physics

Epitaph on Sir Isaac Newton

By Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

(Died March 21, 1727)

NATURE and Nature’s Laws lay hid in Night:

God said, “Let Newton be!” and all was light.

It did not last: the devil, shouting, “Ho.

Let Einstein be,” restored the status quo.

J.C. Squire

I have written in the past for LewRockwell.com about concepts presented by “Electric Universe” theorists, which are at odds with the orthodoxy of current cosmology; one such example is what I believe is the fallacy of the existence of “Black Holes” that I discussed here in “The Black Hole in the Heart of Stephen Hawking.” Perhaps the primary cause of physics losing its way is the deification of Albert Einstein. In titling this piece “The Karl Marx of Physics,” I do not intend to characterize Einstein as a callous human being who totally misread human nature and is responsible for much suffering as Karl Marx was. However, in the “oxymoronic” concept, as Electric Universe theorist Wal Thornhill describes it, of the “thought experiment,” which is to say by thinking about how nature works instead of observing and experimenting, and introducing mathematics as the focus of cosmology and less so observation, in addition to the flawed theories of General Relativity and Special Relativity, Einstein’s work has resulted in a tremendous distortion of the nature of the cosmos and how nature truly acts. For in the words of Electrical Universe theorist Wallace Thornhill, “In real science cause and effect cannot be divorced. Einstein complained of quantum mechanics, ‘God doesn’t play dice with the world.’ But ever since students have been taught two unscientific philosophies that are mutually exclusive. Ironically, Einstein’s postulates stand in the way of understanding gravity, light, and quantum interactions in simple classical terms.” The Big Bang Never Hap...

Indeed, Einstein himself, as Wallace Thornhill concluded in the second part of his two part video series on Einstein, stated in a letter that was not revealed until long after he died, “You can imagine that I look back on my life’s work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether in general I am on the right track.”

In this statement of humility and insight, Einstein was finally correct about something, if only too late to correct the damage he had done. For as Thornhill notes, “Scientific understanding is provisional. It is a tactical error to declare someone a paragon of genius. In this error of peer censorship it stifles debate and dissent, which is essential for the advancement of science…It can halt progress….The simple fact is that [Einstein’s] theories make no physical sense.”

Consequently, I believe even the Electric Universe is not a complete description or explanation of the universe, although superior to current “scientistic” dogma. However, key tenets of Einstein’s theories have been disproven. In the first video entitled, “I am not Einstein,” from a quote by Einstein himself when confronted with the fanaticism of his followers, Thornhill shows that the speed of light is not a constant; this fact has been established by experiment. Posted at the time of the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s “General Theory of Relativity,” Thornhill asks in the video after the idolatrous coverage in the legacy media, “What really is there to celebrate? There have been no fundamental scientific breakthroughs in that time. Relativity and Quantum Theory remain as incompatible as ever. If Einstein was wrong we have wasted a century.”

And a recent experiment discredited his theory again, “with all loopholes in the experiment were closed.” Einstein disliked the concept in quantum physics of “spooky action at a distance” yet this “spooky action” has indeed been proven in these recent experiments; as Thornhill put it, “It is a profoundly important result because it confirms that there is a signaling system—a force—that connects separate bits of matter instantaneously. Einstein’s speed of light is not the barrier he postulated. The universe is a coherent, connected system. To progress once more, we must forget Einstein.

“It’s a thankless and supremely difficult task to question the long-held belief of authorities and there’s no stronger faith that Einstein was a genius of the highest order. We’re fed that story as early as primary school. The media builds it out incessantly. We are subject to indoctrination.”

The first postulate of Special Relativity is that “the laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference. But orbiting planets and quantum experiments show that there is a real-time connection between widely separated matter in the universe. The fixed stars can be regarded as an absolute frame of reference, which returns us to classical physics and Ernst Mach’s principle that relates the motion of the local inertial frame to the distant stars…Einstein’s first postulate…is invalid.”

Phipps Jr. Best Price: $5.00 Buy New $5.95 (as of 11:40 UTC - Details) Similarly, when Einstein conducted a “thought experiment” that noted the feeling one gets when being pulled by gravity is equivalent to a person accelerating and “he dubbed this conjecture the ‘principle of equivalence.’ However, with an absolute frame of reference, they are not equivalent.” Nor does Einstein’s theory even begin to explain how gravity actually works. And the problem is applying mathematical principles to reality; while it might be correct mathematically to “label galactic time intervals ‘past, present and future’ but physically there is only now. The passage of time is universal when all matter is connected in real time. Time cannot be slowed or sped up. It is dimensionless. It has no arrow. There is no ‘space-time,’ no ‘fourth dimension.’ That the universe is a system connected effectively in real time—at least at a galactic scale—should never have been in dispute, since Newton’s law of gravity, which is derived from observations, is instantaneous. His well known equation doesn’t include time.”

Or as Thornhill has spoken in the past, “time is measured with a clock” while height, depth and length—the three dimensions—are measured with a ruler. Time is not equivalent to spatial dimensions at all.

Thornhill adds, “Observations show that the earth is drawn to the instantaneous position of the sun and not where it appears in the sky eight minutes later.” And Thornhill points out that Einstein booster Arthur Eddington in his book Space, Time and Gravitation “he notes that if gravity propagated with finite velocity, the motion of the planets around the sun would become unstable, due to a torque acting on the planets. The problem was already known to Newton and examined by Laplace, who calculated a value far faster than the speed of light.” Consequently, Einstein’s theory has no bearing on cosmic reality, just on earthbound observers jumping on or off trains or airplanes.

In the second part of the YouTube series, “Einstein: The Mythology of Celebrity,”
Thornhill notes that Einstein took a turn towards mysticism in his postulate on the nature of light as being composed of small massless particles since he introduced a “zero mass particle carrying energy in defiance of E=MC2. This introduced the absurd wave-particle duality to electromagnetism…Since all matter is connected in real time by the subtle longitudinal electric force—also known as gravity—the energy of the light wave is not available to any other particle once is has been accepted by the resonant receiving particle. Light is a combination between two signals between atoms: the direct longitudinal resonating signal and the slower transverse electrical wave.”

In the video titled “No—Gravitational Waves Have Not Been Observed,” Thornhill elaborates, “The dirty little secret is that mathematics is the foreign language of physics. Few claim to understand the language and the math to English dictionary is woefully incomplete because the editors—the natural philosophers—were sacked a century ago. So key words like ‘mass’ and ‘energy’ are physically undefined and infinities are reified, which allows a photon to exist having no mass but carrying energy.

“The shocking truth is that E=Mc2 is not physically understood. It seems physics is a foreign discipline for mathematicians also.”

Because of the vast astronomical distances between the stars, the gravitational lensing effect would have to take place in deep space, at impact parameters such that the light rays pass clearly above the plasma limb of the lensing star. If this were indeed the case and the light bending rule of General Relativity applied to a direct interaction between the gravitational field of the stars and the more distant rays of light in deep space, then the entire celestial sky would be filled with images of the Einstein ring. With application of the important fundamentals, the observations reveal an indirect interaction, not a direct interaction between the gravitational field of the lensing stars and the rays of starlight propagating in the plasma limbs of the stars.

Since we do not observe what Dr. Dowdye described, this is further falsification of Einstein’s theory.

In “What Moves” written by Mel Acheson, he discusses the nature of light, as opposed to the dogma:

What if light is a “cumulative response”? No one has bothered to develop a mathematical theory for that … yet. What if light is something else? No one has bothered to peer down the cognitive alleyways for a third or fourth possibility: Consider that plasma discharge phenomena are scalable over at least 14 orders of magnitude, from the scale of galaxies to the scale of atoms. Why stop with “fundamental” subatomic particles? What if the “zoo” of subatomic particles are merely tiny electrical sparks–plasmoids–observed at different stages of their evolution or under different discharge conditions? (Imagine a subatomic-sized Herbig-Haro star or active Seyfert galaxy–the “doughnut on a stick” form typical of so many plasma discharge phenomena.) What if reality consists of larger sparks driving smaller sparks all the way down the scales, and there is no such thing as a “particle” or a “wave”?

With electromagnetism, the electric and magnetic fields vary in strength and polarity. It’s not immediately obvious that anything moves–except scientists’ opinions about it. And they move more like a mob: Fervency of belief so easily obscures enlightenment. It’s been 300 years, and the question is still open: What moves?

The corresponding video from the Thunderbolts is entitled, “What Is Light?”

I don’t expect the interested and thoughtful reader to have all questions answered by viewing these few videos and reading from the selected texts. My purpose in writing is to get readers to challenge the scientific orthodoxy that has no room for heretics; yet without heretics, science doesn’t advance at all. It remains static and just another ideology; certainly readers of LewRockwell.com see that disease in current economic theory, as opposed the minority Austrian Economics perspective.

While motion pictures and the legacy media promote breathlessly the (comic book) fictional high technology nation of Wakanda in Africa to inspire “black pride,” Dr. Dowdye is a real, living, respected scientist with a proven track record as an engineer. On his website ExtinctionShift.com one can find an unexpected, elegant solution to the “Double-slit Phenomenon” via this link. Of course, since Dr. Dowdye respects yet challenges Einstein’s theories, he’s a genius whose work the majority of Americans have no idea exists. From his biography on his website:

Dr. Dowdye is an electrical engineer (retired) at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he worked with the development of satellite born laser systems, precision laser optics and the life-time performance of various non-linear crystals used for the generation of specific harmonics of a high energy Neodymium YAG infrared Laser. The non-linear crystals were used on board spacecrafts and satellites to provide harmonics of the infrared laser emissions for altimeter functions as well as for probes designed to map the surface of the moon and to map terrestrial and extraterrestrial surfaces. The laser emissions are also used to provide the excitations for probing various particulates of terrestrial and extraterrestrial atmospheres as well as to provide precision altimeter measurements to monitor changes in the levels of the polar ice caps due to environmental warming effects. Dr. Dowdye is an experimental Physicist with a long career and experience in lasers and the laboratory testing of precision optics to be used on space born satellite systems.

Dr. Dowdye is an independent researcher and Founder of Pure Classical Physics Research. He is a leading expert on fundamental theories pertaining to both Electromagnetism and Gravitation and their direct and indirect interactions. He is a member of the American Physical Society and a member of several other nationally and internationally recognized Physical Science organizations. He frequently gives lectures at seminars and conferences at university Physics Departments, churches, schools and at various on-line video web-broadcast physical science conferences. Dr. Dowdye is the author of a book, Discourses and Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shift Principle…a challenge to both the Special and the General Relativity Theories of Dr. Albert Einstein.

Dr. Dowdye wrote on this page about his theory of the “Extinction Shift” versus Einstein’s theories:

From Einstein’s own words:

“Wenn die Lichtgeschwindigkeit auch nur ein bißchen von der Geschwindigkeit der Lichtquelle abhängig ist, dann ist meine ganze Relativitätstheorie und Gravitationstheorie falsch.” {August 1913}

“If the velocity of light is only a tiny bit dependent on the velocity of the source, then my whole theory of Relativity and Gravitation is false.”

  • No one, who has dared to challenge current orthodox thinking as I have, has any greater admiration and respect for the great works of Dr. Albert Einstein than I have. I truly believe, that if Einstein were here today and had the many advantages of today’s modern technical means at his disposal, he would certainly disprove his own Theory of Relativity.

Perhaps the world would be better served by knowledge of the work of physicist Wallace Thornhill and Dr. Dowdye, and less adulation of the confused and flawed Einstein, whose legacy sadly results in an irrational and fundamentally contradictory and incomprehensible universe.
