Einstein's Relativity Theory: Correct, Paradoxical & Wrong

by Lyubomir T. Gruyitch

315 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #06-2239; ISBN 1-4251-0481-9; US$39.00, C$42.00, EUR34.00, £24.00

The book discovers, explains physically and proves mathematically, essential paradoxes and mistakes induced by Einstein's basic postulates and their invalidity.

About the Book

Einstein's relativity theory ignores the well known facts about the quantities and units, which are presented in a general form in the book. It uses the values of speeds inconsistently relative to units, which is shown in the book. It accepts severely restrictive, physically unacceptable in general, assumptions that Einstein lifted up to the untouchable postulates. Consequently, his relativity theory and its developments represent a singular case valid only when the assumptions hold, rather than a general relativity theory. They are physically valid only if the Lorentz transformations are physically applicable, which does not happen even for simple systems used in Einstein's relativity theory as illustrative ones. Other cases of the physical invalidity of the Lorentz transformations, consequently of Einstein's relativity theory and of its developments, are shown. Another consequences are various paradoxes and errors explained and proved in the book.

The book serves as a guide how to overcome all the drawbacks of Einstein's relativity theory. It is a basis for rejecting the misleading interpretation of time and of its relativity. It opens the possibility for the clarification of the physical sense of time relativity, as well as for novel mathematical relativity theories that create new directions in physics. These achievements are in the accompanying book Time & Time Fields: Modeling, Relativity, and Systems Control. These two books were originally written as one entity. The book size limit forced their formal separation in two books, but they still form essentially an entity.
