Alexander Franklin Mayer, the Jay Pritzker Fellow in Theoretical Physics, has come up with a theory that threatens to overturn the conventional wisdom of modern physics. One might suggest that repeated self-congratulations, denigration of others, and gratuitous use of quotations are ultimately irrelevant, but he knows how to weave a good scientific tale.
Mayer has developed [...]

Why Einstein was right, when he was, in his “Relativity” theorizing, was often because hidden facets of mathematics and of the definitions used in physics allowed the ideas to be usable, even if his reasoning were fallacious. In other words, often, he was lucky.

Einstein’s Special Relativity, which title for it, I am told, he disliked, [...]

The speed of light, c, in a vacuum is an important physical constant, by definition it is precisely 299,792,458 meters per second. This value c applies not only to the light we see – the colors of the rainbow, but to all electromagnetic radiation, gravitational waves and anything having zero rest mass.

In Einstein’s theory of [...]

All the different kinds of waves we currently know about – radio, microwave, visible light, X-rays and so forth – are caused by one and only one process: electrons in atoms giving varying amounts of energy to particles of light called photons. These photons are merely vehicles that carry the energy FROM atoms undergoing [...]
