Is Albert Einstein’s Special Relativity incompatible with the very equations upon which science’s greatest theory is built? New observations made by many scientists and engineers appear to contradict the great scientist’s ideas. Apparently there are implicit contradictions present within Relativity’s foundational ideas, documents and equations. One individual has even pointed that quotations from the 1905 document and Einstein’s contemporaries as well as interpretations of the Relativity equations clearly and concisely describe a confused and obviously erroneous theory. It is time therefore, for science to update its thinking on this theory with a comprehensive analysis of the history leading up to, during and after that revolutionary year of Special Relativity.

As this is the 100 year anniversary of the original release of Special Relativity, a review of the original assumptions, documents and ideas which led to the acceptance of this theory is timely and warranted. Every year millions of students are taught this theory without a critical analysis of Relativity. Relativity Theory consists of its two variants Special Relativity and General Relativity and is considered the cornerstone of modern physics.

Albert Einstein borrowed from the ideas of Fitzgerald, Lorentz and Voigt to create a new concept of the universe. His first work in this regard later came to be known as Special Relativity and contained many controversial ideas which today are considered axiomatic. Amongst these are Length Contraction, Time Dilation, the Twin Paradox and the equivalence of mass and energy summarized in the equation E=mc2.

This equation became the shining capstone of the new theory along with its first & second postulates, namely, that the laws of nature are the same from all perspectives and that the speed of light ‘c’ is constant in a vacuum regardless of perspective. Further, the theory also predicted an increase in mass with velocity. Numerous examples have been given of the ‘proof’ of the validity of Special Relativity.

Most notably, experiments using particle accelerators have sped particles to incredible velocities which apparently provide confirmation of Einstein’s theory. However, doubts remain in the scientific community who have never totally given up the comfort of a Newtonian world view. This is readily apparent in that they refer to the Newton’s ‘Law’ of Gravitation whilst Special Relativity (SR) and General Relativity (GR) are given the polite attribution ‘The Theory of’ or simply SR ‘theory’ and GR ‘theory.’ Einstein would continue working on the ideas of Special Relativity until producing the aforementioned even more controversial treatise.

In his later more comprehensive work called the Theory of General Relativity (1916), Einstein proposed a major re-thinking of cosmology. He conceived of a space time continuum that is curved by mass; in other words, planets, stars, galaxies and other stellar objects cause a curvature of space time. The movement of these objects are determined by the aforementioned curvature.

As a result of these ideas, our understanding of geometry, math, physics, science and the universe would never be the same. However, some scientists are reporting that speed of light is not constant from different experimental observations. One has even reported errors in the fundamental equations. If so, this would require a major rethinking of the known cosmological models and assumptions of modern physics.

Credit cards are really useful and handy. You need not to worry about theft, burglary or carrying large sums of money. On the other hand, shopping can also be rewarding. Most of the credit card companies offer rewards in the form of gift vouchers; discount shopping, air miles etc, for every pound you spend. Some of the points earned can be accumulated and later the reward is transferred to income generating account. This will help you to have savings along with the credit card.

Usage And Rewards

The selection of the credit card should be on the basis of value for money. Majority of the credit card companies offer rewards but it is up to you to select the one, which is best, suited for you. The credit card usage should be such that the income and expenses should be in balance. Select the credit card, which is best, suited for your purpose. Make sure that the reward offered by the credit card company should include your choice or your purpose. If you are a frequent traveler, it is better to opt for a card, which offers free air miles. You can also use your credit card to pay up your grocery bills, monthly bills and even medical bills.

Credit Limit And Options

The credit card limit should be maintained low, since credit limit will be higher than reimbursement. Select a credit card, which is having greater choice and option. The reward generated from the credit card can also be used to pay for the annual fee of credit card. The credit card holder should frequently check the accounts so that one can effectively use the credit card. To get your value for the money, it is essential to use the credit card wisely. If you use your credit card with much caution and prompt in clearing the bills, usage of credit card is a rewarding experience.

Selling cars is one of the biggest businesses around and it has to be said, advertising is a fundamental part of this. There have been some wonderful TV campaigns over the years promoting some very famous brands: Honda’s quirky ads particularly stand out in recent times. Their almost esoteric content suggests more about the brand and its image than any substantial details about the vehicle. Local car dealers and their press and radio advertisements, on the other hand, can be a very different beast altogether.

Some of the more common things you will find when local dealerships advertise is a tendency to go for the familiar, or to be more precise, their wholly unembarrassed use lots of clichs. Pushing large sales campaigns during holiday periods isn’t necessarily an uncommon thing – indeed, it makes sense – but how many more Halloween themed advertisements can you stomach that feature a picture of a brand new Vauxhall Astra surrounded by a rather randomly placed pumpkin or ghost (or both)? The headline no doubt says something like “No tricks, simply treats!” and has run in various guises every October for the last ten years.

This kind of lazy advertising could no doubt be blamed upon the advertising agency producing the artwork. But as someone who has worked for an agency such as this for many years, I believe the responsibility is steadfastly the fault of the car dealers themselves.

Having little imagination for what makes a good advertisement work, they revert to type and go with what they know. Placing a lot of cars on a page or listing endless amounts of used deals for a reader to peruse is certainly a useful way of letting the potential customer know what you’ve got to offer. But there lies the rub. A car dealer wants the customer to know what stock they’ve got – and they’re definitely not interested in any kind of clever or intellectual campaign.

This practical approach certainly works, though. The success of the Autotrader magazines proves that quantity, not quality, sells cars in a practical sense. The arty, cleverly branded advertisements work to place the car in your consciousness, generating a feeling of who should drive the vehicle, of what it stands for. But, when it comes to actually buying a car, it’s the cheap and cheerful that seems to sell. And in a way, as much as they’re easy to mock, advertising clichs such as “The Big Easter Egg-stravaganza” certainly raise a smile.

So the next time your attention is caught by an advertisement for one of your local car dealers, and maybe you see a used Honda at a reasonable price, ask yourself a question: what really attracted me to this advertisement? Was it the brand, the car or this cheesy advert? Maybe, it’s simply all three.
