Abstract:
Einstein's theory of relativity endows space, emptiness (absolute nothing) with properties, curvature, changed by massive bodies. This curvature of space supposedly manifests itself in the form of gravitation, just as a stretched rubber film, bending under the weight of the load, forces small balls to slide towards it. The tradition of endowing space with properties comes from Aristotle with his thesis of the fear of emptiness. But these views are alien to atomistic physics, founded 2,500 years ago by Democritus. He showed that emptiness has no properties, and influences (light, magnetic, electrical and gravitational) are carried in emptiness by microparticles of matter, which by impacts produce attraction and repulsion. However, nowadays it is not this classical theory that is accepted, but the general theory of relativity (GR), the predictions of which are confirmed by experiments. For a long time it seemed that classical physics could not explain them. But this is a myth! As it turned out, long before Einstein, scientists predicted and explained relativistic effects from a classical perspective.
