All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Abstract:

From an unusual perspective, this article examines the experimental confirmation of the spacetime deformations predicted by special relativity. A perspective that includes three relevant critical aspects: the necessary symmetry (never verified) of the experimental confirmations; the universality of the relativistic deformations, always suspiciously independent of the physical and chemical nature of the deformed or altered objects (e.g., rulers and clocks); and the absence of direct physical causes of those deformations and alterations, the only cause being the fact that the deformed or altered objects are always observed in uniform motion. Apart from remembering that such experimental confirmations could also be confirming other theories (e.g. H. Ives' theory of absolute space and time), we consider here the possibility that the observed and measured relativistic spacetime deformations are only apparent deformations, as in the case of refractive deformations; or that they are the consequence of making observations and measurements in a supposedly continuous spacetime that in reality is discrete (discontinuous). In any case, this article demonstrates that certain relativistic deformations are incompatible with some basic laws of mechanics, as is the case with the pendulum that oscillates faster in one direction than in the opposite direction; or with the force-free elastic band that is observed to be stretched more in some places than in others.

Comments

John-Erik Persson(Stockholm, Sweden):

Errors regarding Michelson-Morley
Prediction about hundred times too high, caused by Earth rotation not translation.
No effect in reference arm, since mirrors define direction of c - not c+v. No evidence for time dilation. Clock effect is caused by ether wind, tangentially by SRT, radially by GRT and escape velocity.
Compensated effect in measuring arm, since light motion in 2 anti-parallel.directions is equal definition of separations in a crystal is controlled by forces moving in 2 anti-parallel directions.
Even if zero ether speed had been proved this would not prove no existence of ether.
Fatio's radial ether wind explains gravity.
