Problems With Einstein's Relativity?: A revised view of the universe

by Selwyn E Wright

190 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #06-3324; ISBN 1-4251-1770-8; US$25.16, C$25.16, EUR17.19, £12.99

Although Einstein's General Relativity is not in doubt, his Special Relativity is in error. The propagation medium exists and the motional wave equation solved for the first time.

About the Book

For over one hundred years scientists have debated the validity of one of the most famous scientific works of the twentieth century: Einstein's Special Relativity (SR). Einstein started the debate by declaring that space was empty requiring no propagation medium to transmit light. A groundbreaking book 'Problems with Einstein's Relativity' by ex Stanford University & NASA scientist Professor Selwyn Wright, puts forward irrefutable evidence that Einstein's SR is an inaccurate description of the light propagation process. It resolves all subsequent paradoxes in an entertaining and enlightening manner. Without a propagation medium, SR cannot explain how light propagates, how the wave equation can be formed, how light paths can be determined or how the direction of time can be established. This new book answers these questions and makes the connection between the electric field, gravity and motion. For the first time, the motional wave equation has been solved for individual source and observer motion. The solution provides an insight into space travel, time travel and the ageing process. The universe is revisited through the eyes of the rediscovered propagation medium. Nothing more is required, no SR, no Einstein influence of any kind. Readers interested in science history, Einstein and SR in general, will also find this book of interest. It not only offers a revised view of the universe, but also describes the major events, participants, their contributions, experiments and their assumptions leading to SR and through to the present theory.

About the Author

On retirement Selwyn Wright was awarded a DTI SMART award to develop an electronic acoustic shadow system. Before retirement he held the Brook Hansen Chair of Power Engineering at the University of Huddersfield in the UK. Prior to that Professor Wright was a Manager at the Electric Power Research Institute in California, and a Research Professor at Stanford University in California. At Stanford he was involved in establishing a Research Institute in Acoustics and Aeronautics at NASA Ames Research Center. The Author has worked as a Scientific Adviser to the French Government (ONERA) and Aerospatiale in Paris and Marseilles. As a Professor at the George Washington University in Washington DC he established a postgraduate program in acoustics at NASA Langley Research Center in Virginia. He obtained his PhD in the ISVR at the University of Southampton in the UK.
