Tesla But it appears Einstein was correct, at least on a macro level |

Digging Deeper! Material I have read suggests that Albert Einstein's Relativity Theory was widely accepted not because of its "groundbreaking" discoveries, but because, supposedly it succeeded in "disproving" the experiments and theories which supported a geocentric solar system. More to the point except for the propaganda perpetrated regarding the composition of "outer space" what experiments - real life experiments prove the heliocentric model? Also, interesting is the suspicious circumstances of Tesla's death, and the supposed mystery regarding the disappearance of his work? Much like much of the mystery surrounding the anomalies of the NASA space program. You know? "Why Was Nikola Tesla One Of Albert Einstein's Biggest Critics?" We know that Albert Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity says that the kinetic energy (e) of a body equals its mass (m) times the speed of light (c²), or (e=mc²). The equation expresses a theory that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other. It also asserts that speeds greater than 186,300 miles per second (speed of light) are impossible in the universe. It is literally one of the principal tenets of the theory; that the mass of a body increases with its speed, and would become infinite at the velocity of light. Hence, a greater velocity is impossible. Nikola Tesla positively denied Einstein's theory, not just because he rejected the idea of matter being convertible into energy, and energy into matter, or even the existence of space-time, but because he himself had measured speeds traveling faster than light in many experiments, observations and measurements, both qualitative and quantitative throughout his lifetime of research. As far back as 1896, Tesla conducted experiments on cosmic rays where he measured cosmic ray velocities from the star Antares, which he measured to be fifty times greater than the speed of light, literally demolishing one of the basic pillars of the structure of relativity. Also, in 1899, he conducted and recorded numerous experiments at Colorado Springs where he sent electrical currents from his transmitter around earth and back to his receiver traveling at a mean velocity of 292,815 miles per second. After these experiments, On April of 1900 he published a patent on this transmitter titled the "Art of Transmitting Electrical Energy Through the Natural Medium," which was just a play thing compared to his Magnifying Transmitter patented in 1914. Also, in June of 1900, he published an article in the Century Magazine titled "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy," where he outlined his experiments in Colorado Springs and his plans for the future. Whether you believe Tesla witnessed and measured such speeds or not, his statements should still be given due consideration. After all, both Tesla and Einstein were genius minds, but Einstein was merely a theoretical physicist who relied on abstract mathematics and other scientist's work to prove his theories, while Tesla followed the scientific method like a religion and was solely dependent on actual experimentation to prove his. Nikola Tesla's work and theories have yet to be proven wrong to this day and are beginning to resurface as present science and technology improves. drnikolatesla.tumblr.com |

Alex KnappForbes Staff Science I write about the future of science, technology, and culture. This article is more than 2 years old. “All of my investigations seem to point to the conclusion that they are small particles, each carrying so small a charge that we are justified in calling them neutrons. They move with great velocity, exceeding that of light.” – Nikola Tesla, July 10, 1932 The Nikola Tesla quote above has been making the rounds since last week’s announcement from the OPERA research team that they had detected neutrinos that may have traveled faster than the speed of light. For the most part, this has been going under headers like “Tesla was right!”, etc. However, a quick glance at the source of the quote shows that Tesla was, in fact, completely wrong. See the “they” in that first part of the sentence? In context of the article, that refers to cosmic rays. And cosmic rays are not neutrinos. They’re mostly highly charged protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons (and the occasional anti-particle for fun). It also probably goes without saying that cosmic rays do not, in fact, travel faster than the speed of light. Even if we give Tesla the benefit of the doubt and say that he was talking about neutrinos (the terminology of neutrons/neutrinos wasn’t quite set in stone yet in 1932), it’s worth noting that Tesla didn’t predict that they’d go faster than light. He said that he’d observed them going faster than light. But he never published any of his findings if that’s the case, and his statement is therefore impossible to verify. Look, I hold Nikola Tesla in very high esteem. I wouldn’t have written an essay admiring his creative capacity for thought if I didn’t. But he was by no means right on everything. Earlier in that same year, 1932, he claimed that he could make electricity travel faster than the speed of light, too. (It can’t.) Moreover, Tesla completely rejected the theory of relativity. He insisted that mass and energy were not equivalent and told the New York Times in 1935 that “Einstein’s relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king…” At this point, though, there had been several observations and experiments confirming relativity’s predictions, and subsequent decades have only strengthened it. It’s sometimes tempting to look back on the great minds of the ages with a credulous awe. But it’s important to remember that those minds were as human as our own. And nobody on Earth was right about everything. Indeed, many of history’s great geniuses were profoundly wrong on a number of matters. Isaac Newton was positively brilliant and in many ways defined modern physics. He was also a fervent alchemist and in addition devoted years to deciphering the Book of Revelations to determine what year the world would end (the year 2060, in case you’re wondering.) Johannes Kepler was able to see past the prejudice for circular orbits laid down by Aristotle and recognized that planets moved in elliptical orbits. He also thought that taking baths led to disease and reportedly only took one in his entire life. Even Einstein took decades to accept the conclusion that his own theory of relativity implied an expanding universe, not a steady-state one. The bottom line is that scientists are human. Their theories and suggestions may be brilliant, but they’re not Holy Writ. At the end of the day, either the data supports what they say, or it doesn’t. If neutrinos are found to go faster than the speed of light, then Tesla might indeed look acontextually prescient. But if it doesn’t, you can chalk that up with the other theories Tesla had that ended up not being supported by the data (and there were quite a few). He was a brilliant man. But he wasn’t a god. |

By Chelsea Gohd June 21, 2018 The Hubble Space Telescope captured the gravitational lens from galaxy LRG 3-757. (Image: © ESA/Hubble & NASA) A new study validates Einstein's theory of general relativity in a distant galaxy for the first time. This study supports our current understanding of gravity and provides more evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy — two mysterious concepts that scientists know about only indirectly by observing their effects on cosmic objects. Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, published in 1916, explains how gravity is the result of a concept known as the fabric of space-time. Simply put, the theory predicts how much the mass of an object — in this case, a galaxy — curves space-time. [Einstein's Theory of Relativity Explained (Infographic)] Since the theory was first published, it has been tested a number of times within our solar system. But this new study, conducted by an international team of astronomers led by Thomas Collett of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K., is the first precise test of general relativity on a large astronomical scale, the researchers said. Using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, the research team found that gravity behaves the same way in a faraway galaxy as it does in our solar system — just as Einstein's theory predicts. The researchers tested the assumption that "the same laws of physics we see working here on Earth are true anywhere else," Terry Oswalt, an astronomer and chair of physical sciences at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida, said in an email to Space.com. Verifying general relativity "at all possible scales (especially the largest scale) is fundamentally important to physics as a whole, and to cosmology in particular," added Oswalt, who was not involved in the new study. Dark matter appears to be spread across the cosmos in a network-like pattern, with galaxy clusters forming at the nodes where fibers intersect. By verifying that gravity acts the same both inside and outside our solar system, researchers provide additional evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy.

(Image credit: WGBH) In validating general relativity, the findings also serve as additional evidence for the existence of dark matter and dark energy, Collett told Space.com. Dark matter and dark energy are two of the "weird things" that exist in the standard model of cosmology, Collett said. The standard model is a theory which describes how fundamental forces and particles in the universe work and behave together, and it aims to explain our observations and experiments. However, our lack of understanding and explanation of dark matter and dark energy, "the two biggest mysteries in cosmology today," according to Oswalt, lead some to question the standard model. "I doubt astronomers will be giving up the standard model of cosmology anytime soon," Oswalt said. So, instead of abandoning the standard model, researchers look to "make the models more precisely explain the observed data," he added. In the standard model, dark matter is required to explain how fast stars orbit around galaxies and dark energy is required to explain why the universe is expanding faster, according to Collett. Some scientists have suggested that "alternative gravity theories," as Collett described, could eliminate a need for dark matter and dark energy in the standard model. However, because this team has found that gravity functions outside our solar system like it does inside our solar system, for now it appears that our understanding of gravity is correct and dark matter and dark energy still fit in the standard model. Collett noted that this study isn't concrete "proof" of dark matter and dark energy, but it serves as additional evidence that they exist. Six different images from the Hubble Space Telescope have been magnified by a cosmic effect called gravitational lensing. The images were taken in infrared light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3. Color has been added to highlight details in the galaxies. Six different images from the Hubble Space Telescope have been magnified by a cosmic effect called gravitational lensing.

Lowenthal (Smith College)) To validate general relativity outside our solar system for the first time, the research team used strong gravitational lensing, a technique in which a massive object — in this case, a galaxy — acts like a huge lens by bending light so much that the image of a background object, also a galaxy, is distorted. This team of astronomers used the galaxy ESO 325-G004 because it's one of the closest lenses to Earth, only about 500 million light-years away. If the two objects are well aligned, this effect creates a ring of images, known as an "Einstein ring," of the background galaxy. The radius of this ring "is proportional to the deflection of the light," Collett said, "so if you measure the radius of the ring, you can measure the curvature [of space-time]." In addition to measuring the space-time curve, the researchers had to determine the galaxy's mass, because general relativity predicts how much curvature is created by a mass. They calculated this mass by measuring how fast the galaxy's stars travel. Then, by comparing this measured mass with the measured curvature of space-time, the team found what general relativity predicts for this mass, or galaxy. Click here for more Space.com videos... So now, as far as we know, even outside our solar system, general relativity is the correct theory of gravity, Collett said. This team of astronomers hopes to study even farther galaxies and lenses, further verifying that gravity works the same throughout the cosmos. "It is so satisfying to use the best telescopes in the world to challenge Einstein, only to find out how right he was," team member Bob Nichol, director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, said in a statement. The work is published today (June 21) in the journal Science. |

Einstein based his Lorentz-like Special Theory on the following false premises: 1) that the propagation velocities of light (c – v and c + v) relative to linearly moving bodies are the same phenomena as Maxwell’s constant transmission velocity of light at c relative to the medium of empty space , and 2) that a light ray must always propagate relative to a stationary body and relative to a linearly moving body at the same absolute velocity of c (300,000 km/s). But it turns out that a light ray, which transmits at the constant velocity of c relative to its medium of empty space also has a myriad of very natural relative velocities and relative distance/time intervals of propagation vis-à-vis an infinite number of linearly moving bodies in the Cosmos. Thus the paradox of Einstein’s “difficulties” concerning the velocity of light is easily explained, and there never were any real “difficulties” that needed Einstein’s absolute mathematical fix contained in his Special Theory. Let us now further scrutinize the mathematical “difficulties” that appeared to Einstein when he misapplied the mechanics principle of Galileo’s Relativity, and its related Galilean transformation equations, to a ray of light propagating relative to a stationary embankment and a linearly moving carriage (Chapter 19). With sufficient consideration and proper analysis of the phenomena and the theoretical “difficulties,” Einstein’s explainable paradox should completely disappear by the end of the next Chapter 22. In the process, we shall discover that there never were any real “difficulties;” that there never was a different transmission velocity for a ray of light en vacuo; that there never was a contradiction of Maxwell’s equations; and that there never was a need for a mathematical “modification” of Galileo’s relativityoflight.com Wonder how many OTHER inconsistencies we'll find . . . |
