Preface
This book includes 21 papers written by 23 authors and co-authors. All papers included
herein are produced by scholars from People’s Republic of China, except two papers written by
Prof. L. Sapogin, V. A. Dzhanibekov, Yu. A. Ryabov from Russia, and by Prof. Florentin
Smarandache from USA. The editors hope that all these papers will contribute to the advance of
scholarly research on several aspects of Special and General Relativity. This book is suitable for
students and scholars interested in studies on physics.
The first paper is written by Hua Di. He writes that Einstein’s general theory of relativity
cannot explain the perihelion motion of Mercury. Einstein’s explanation, based on wrong
integral calculus and arbitrary approximations, is a complete failure.
The following paper is written by Li Zifeng. His paper reviews basic hypotheses and
viewpoints of space-time relationship in Special Relativity; analyzes derivation processes and the
mistakes in the Lorentz transformation and Einstein’s original paper. The transformation
between two coordinate systems moving uniformly relatively to another is established. It is
shown that Special Relativity based upon the Lorentz transformation is not correct, and that the
relative speed between two objects can be faster than the speed of light.
The next paper is written by Li Wen-Xiu. His paper presents problems with the special
theory of relativity (STR), including: (1) The principle of relativity as interpreted by Einstein
conflicts with the uniqueness of the universe. (2) The light principle conflicts with the notion that
natural phenomena depend only upon mutual interaction and the involved relative motion. The
principle contains a tacit assumption that leads to self-contradiction.
The next paper by Shi Yong-Cheng says that Einstein’s book “The Meaning of
Relativity” contains of a supper mistake which leads to the famous twin “paradox”.
The following paper by Xu Jianmin proposes the assumptions of radiation and redshift,
establishes the quantum gravitational field equations and motion equations, and presents that
particles move along the path with the minimum entropy production. The paper also applies the
equivalence principle of acceleration and the gravitational field into the electromagnetic field,
which makes the electromagnetic field equation to have the same form with gravitational field
equation.
The next paper is written by Dong Jingfeng. By the analysis of twin paradox, it is pointed
out that the constriction of space-time is the only effect of measurement and all paradoxes do not
exist actually. The essence of special relativity is a number method for ways to provide math and
physical idea.
The following paper is written by Duan Zhongxiao. Through comparing the two Lorentz
transformations located at different regions, the author finds that for two inertial systems running
the relative uniform speed translational motion, if two clocks are synchronous in one system,
they are also synchronous looked from another system; this means that the relative character of
simultaneity is not the ultimate source of temporal and spatial transformation. Thus we know that
it is wrong to introduce the one-way spreading light signals along with all directions in space into
transformation.
Fu Yuhua writes the next paper. He says that special theory of relativity and general
theory of relativity have three basic shortcomings. First, the special and general theory of
relativity respectively have two basic principles, altogether have four basic principles in the
iv
interior of relativity, these obviously do not conform to the truth uniqueness. Second, for the two
basic principles of special theory of relativity and the two basic principles of general theory of
relativity, no one is generally correct. Third, establishes the physical theory from the
mathematics principle instead of the physical principle. Based on these, the applicable scopes of
special and general theory of relativity are presented.
Guo Kaizhe and Guo Chongwu write the following paper. They write that there are
magnetic field forces between positive charge and negative charge in an electric dipole which is
moving in a laboratory reference frame. Whereas, examining the electric dipole in a reference
frame which is at rest relative to the electric dipole, we find no magnetic field force exists
between the two charges.
The next paper is written by Guo Ying-Huan and Guo Zhen-Hua. They write that by
carefully comparing the results given by the general theory of relativity and the actual
astronomical observation, the contradiction between them is found to be difficult to overcome.
Furthermore, there is no sign so far of the existence of “the waves” predicted by the general
theory of relativity.
Hu Chang-Wei writes the next paper. According to him, in the absolute space-time
theory, the ether is a compressible superfluid, a change in the ether density causes a change in
the actual space-time standard, and thus, the phenomena occur. The relativity made up the
shortcoming of absolute space-time theory in quantity, while the physical basis of relativity can
be described and its limitations can be showed on the basis of absolute space-time theory.
Jiang Chun-Xuan writes the following paper. Using two methods he deduces the new
gravitational formula. Gravity is the tachyonic centripetal force.
2
In the next paper, he also found a new gravitational formula: F = − mc , established
R
the expansion theory of the universe, and obtained the expansion acceleration: g e = u 2 .

Liu Taixiang writes the following paper. On the basis of the system relativity, the author
firstly proves the absoluteness of movement, and then deduces the conclusion that time derives
from movement, then subsequently obtains such properties of time as one dimension,
irreversibility, infiniteness, non-uniformity and relativity, etc. by illustrating the relationship
between time and space and the concept of universe state, and ultimately deduces a steady
cosmological model and a prospect of the total universe.
Tu Runsheng writes the next paper. He writes that in a limited number of experiments
that support Theory of Relativity, there also exist some points that are not supportive of the
theory. Therefore, Theory of Relativity does not solve the problem of experimental verification.
The following paper is written by Wu Fengming. According to the “paradox of
singularity theorem” proof of concept of time, the mathematical logic and the prerequisite
conditions, based on successive analytical, logical argumentation about time singularity theorem
proving the beginning and the end of the conclusions cannot be established.
Yang Shijia writes that he has studied Einstein's original “on the Electrodynamics of
Moving Body” for many years, found its own 30 unsolved problems at least, Einstein's theory of
relativity is a mistake from beginning to end.
v
Chao Shenglin writes in the next paper that if ones think of the possibility of the
existence of the superluminal-speeds (the speeds faster than that of light) and re-describe the
special theory of relativity following Einstein's way, it could be supposed that the physical space-
time is a Finsler space-time.
In the following paper, Fu Yuhua writes that although the explanation of general
relativity for the advance of planetary perihelion is reasonably consistent with the observed data,
because its orbit is not closed, whether or not it is consistent with the law of conservation of
energy has not been verified. For this reason a new explanation is presented: The advance of
planetary perihelion is the combined result of two motions. The first elliptical motion creates the
perihelion, and the second vortex motion creates the advance of perihelion.
Sapogin, Dzhanibekov, and Ryabov discuss the problems of new unitary quantum
view of the world in its applications to the different aspects of the reality.
In the last paper, Florentin Smarandache revisits several paradoxes, inconsistencies,
contradictions, and anomalies in the Special and General Theories of Relativity. Also, he re-
proposes new types of Relativities and two physical experiments.

where ε is the perihelion advance in the sense of orbital motion after a complete orbit, T the
orbital period, a the orbit’s semi major axis, e the orbit’s eccentricity and c the velocity of
light.
For Mercury: T ≈ 87.969 [earth day] ≈ 7.6 × 10 6 [s], a ≈ 5.791 × 1010 [m] and
e ≈ 0.205631 . With these data, his formula (1) yields Mercury’s perihelion motion

Matching the astronomical observation. Einstein declared his success: “I find an important
confirmation of this most fundamental theory of relativity, showing that it explains
qualitatively and quantitatively the secular rotation of the orbit of Mercury.”
According to Einstein’s 1915 paper, his formula (1) comes from an equation:

φ = π 1 + α (α 1 + α 2 ) . (2)

φ is the angle described by the radius-vector between perihelion and aphelion. Therefore, the

Abstract: All experiments show that the speed of light relative to its source measured in
vacuum is constant. Einstein interpreted this fact such that any ray of light moves in the
“stationary” system with a fixed velocity c, whether the ray is emitted by a stationary or by a
moving body, and established Special Relativity accordingly. This paper reviews basic
hypotheses and viewpoints of space-time relationship in Special Relativity; analyzes
derivation processes and the mistakes in the Lorentz transformation and Einstein’s original
paper. The transformation between two coordinate systems moving uniformly relatively to
another is established. It is shown that Special Relativity based upon the Lorentz
transformation is not correct, and that the relative speed between two objects can be faster
than the speed of light.
Keywords: Special Relativity, light speed, Einstein, Lorentz transformation
1 Introduction
Special Relativity was established by Einstein nearly a century ago1 and has become
nowadays a compulsory course in many universities2. However, the rationality of its
derivation process and its conclusions are still under suspicion3-28.
This paper briefly reviews the basic hypotheses and the main viewpoints of space-time in
Special Relativity. The derivations and the mistakes involved in the Lorentz transformation
and Einstein’s original paper are analyzed. The transformation between two coordinate
systems moving uniformly relatively to another will be revised. It will be shown that Special
Relativity based upon the Lorentz transformation is not correct, and that the relative speed
between two objects can be faster than the speed of light.

Equations (1) through (6) describe an object’s motion in a fixed system, its motion in
another moving system and the possible transformation between these two systems. Here, k
must be determined using equation (7). In equation (7), x = ct describes a photon emitted
from a source fixed at the origin of the fixed system. Equation x ' = ct ' describes another
photon emitted from a source fixed at the origin of the moving system. There is a relative
motion between these two sources. So, there is a relative motion between these two photons
from two different sources. Equations (1) through (6) describe one object in two systems. On
the other hand, Equations (7) x = ct, x' = ct ' describe two different objects (photons)
moving in two systems independently. It is problematic to substitute Eq. (7) into equation (6).
Actually, to obtain k , x = ct , x ' = ct '−vt ' must be used instead of those in Eq. (7).

results in x ≡ 0 .
Also in Section 2.2, there is a statement “For point O, x = 0 is observed in K all the time;
but x ′ = −vt ′ observed in K ′ at time t ′ , viz. x'+vt ' = 0 . Therefore it could be viewed that x
and x'+vt ' become zero at the same time for the point O. Then, suppose that there is a direct
ratio k between x and x'+vt ' all the time, i.e., x = k ( x'+vt ' ) ”. Because x'+vt ' = 0 always holds,
x = 0 holds all the time.
“Or, for point O ′ , x' = k ' ( x − vt ) ”.Because x + vt = 0 is valid all the time, x ′ = 0 always
holds.
So, the coordinate in the direction of motion of the Lorentz transformation is 0=0.

Figure 2. Coordinate system 2
Based on equation (7), in OXYZ as shown in Fig. 2, a photon starts form point O at time
t=0, and arrives at point A at time t; in O ′X ′Y ′Z ′ , another photon starts form point O ' at time
t ' =0, and arrives at point A' at time t ' . It is obvious that these are two events of two different
photons. It would be clearer if these two origins do not lie at the same point, with an original
displacement S at time t=0, as shown in Fig. 3.
Let’s follow the derivation process of the Lorentz transformation.
Two coordinate systems K and K ′ (OXYZ and O ′X ′Y ′Z ′ ), with their corresponding axes
parallel to each other respectively, move uniformly relatively to the other, the speed of K ′ is v
relative to K along the X-axis. The time count starts when O ′ is S from O in the +X direction.

3.4 The relative speed between two objects can neither reach nor exceed the light speed
The process of the above derivations does not make the assumption that the relative speed
between two objects is smaller than the light speed, but the result is that the relative speed
between two objects can neither reach nor exceed the light speed. The Lorentz transformation
is self-contradictory. Now, astronomy observations find that many planets move apart faster
than the light speed.
3.5 There is an antinomy between the length contraction effect and the principle of
relativity
The length contraction effect indicates that if a sphere is fixed in a coordinate system, this
sphere observed in another coordinate system moving uniformly relatively to the system will
become an ellipsoid. A direct extension to this claim is that if the relative speed equals the
light speed, the sphere will become a circle, changing from 3-dimensions to 2-dimensions.
Therefore, there is an antinomy between the length contraction effect and the principle of
relativity.

4.1 Excerpt from Einstein’s paper1
The following reflections are based on the principle of relativity and on the principle of the
constancy of the velocity of light. These two principles we define as follows:
(1) The laws by which the states of physical systems undergo change are not affected,
whether these changes of state be referred to the one or the other of two systems of co-
ordinates in uniform translational motion.
(2) Any ray of light moves in the “stationary” system of coordinates with the determined
velocity c, whether the ray be emitted by a stationary or by a moving body. Hence
light path
velocity = .
time interval
We imagine further that at the two ends A and B of the rod, clocks are placed which
synchronize with the clocks of the stationary system, that is to say that their indications
correspond at any instant to the “time of the stationary system” at the places where they
happen to be. These clocks are therefore “synchronous in the stationary system”.
We imagine further that with each clock there is a moving observer, and that these
observers apply to both clocks the criterion established for the synchronization of two clocks.
Let a ray of light depart from A at the time t A , let it be reflected at B at the time t B , and
reach A again at the time t A′ .
Taking into consideration the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light we find that
rAB r
tB − tA = and t A′ − t B = AB , (21)
c−v c+v
where rAB denotes the length of the moving rod—measured in the stationary system.
Observers moving with the moving rod would thus find that the two clocks were not
synchronous, while observers in the stationary system would declare the clocks to be
synchronous.
Let us in “stationary” space take two systems of co-ordinates, i.e. two systems, each of
three rigid material lines, perpendicular to one another, and issuing from a point. Let the axes
of X of the two systems coincide, and their axes of Y and Z respectively be parallel. Let each
system be provided with a rigid measuring-rod and a number of clocks, and let the two
measuring-rods, and likewise all the clocks of the two systems, be in all respects alike.
Now to the origin of one of the two systems (k) let a constant velocity v be imparted in the
direction of the increasing x of the other stationary system (K), and let this velocity be
communicated to the axes of the co-ordinates, the relevant measuring-rod, and the clocks. To
any time of the stationary system K there then will correspond a definite position of the axes
of the moving system, and from reasons of symmetry we are entitled to assume that the
motion of k may be such that the axes of the moving system are at the time t (this “t” always
denotes a time of the stationary system) parallel to the axes of the stationary system.
We now imagine space to be measured from the stationary system K by means of the
stationary measuring-rod, and also from the moving system k by means of the measuring-rod
moving with it; and that we thus obtain the co-ordinates x, y, z, andξ,η,ζ, respectively. Further,
let the time t of the stationary system be determined for all points thereof at which there are
clocks by means of light signals in the manner indicated before; similarly let the time τ of the
moving system be determined for all points of the moving system at which there are clocks at
rest relatively to that system by applying the method, given before, of light signals between
the points at which the latter clocks are located.
15
To any system of values x, y, z, t, which completely defines the place and time of an event
in the stationary system, there belongs a system of values ξ,η,ζ,τ, determining that event
relatively to the system k, and our task is now to find the system of equations connecting
these quantities.
In the first place it is clear that the equations must be linear on account of the properties of
homogeneity which we attribute to space and time.
If we place x ' = x − vt , it is clear that a point at rest in the system k must have a system of
values x' , y, z , independent of time. We first define τ as a function of x' , y, z , and t. To do
this we have to express in equations thatτ is nothing else than the summary of the data of
clocks at rest in system k, which have been synchronized according to the rule given before.
From the origin of system k let a ray be emitted at the time τ 0 along the X-axis to x ′ , and
at the time τ 1 be reflected thence to the origin of the coordinate, arriving there at the time τ 2 ;
we then must have
1
(τ 0 + τ 2 ) = τ 1 . (22)

by inserting the arguments of the function τ and applying the principle of the constancy of
the velocity of light in the stationary system:

With the help of this result we easily determine the quantities ξ,η,ζ, by expressing in
equations that light (as required by the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light, in
combination with the principle of relativity) is also propagated with velocity c when measured
in the moving system.
We now have to prove that any ray of light, measured in the moving system, is propagated
with the velocity c, if, as we have assumed, this is the case in the stationary system; for we
have not as yet furnished the proof that the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light
is compatible with the principle of relativity.
4.2 Mistakes
(1) Equation (21) is derived from the assumption that “Any ray of light moves in the
stationary system of co-ordinates with the determined velocity c, whether it is emitted by a
stationary or by a moving body”. In fact, the light seen by us is emitted by the body observed
by us, no matter whether this body is moving or not, and the light speed is c relative to the
body. So, Eq. (21) is just a hypothetical phenomenon that does not exist in the world. The fact
is that observers moving with the moving rod and observers in the stationary system will find
16
that the two clocks are synchronous. For further theories of moving objects observation, see
ref. 26.
(2) It is evident that if equation (21) is true (equation (21) is false in fact), then equation (22)
will be false. But the author continued to substitute equation (21) into equation (22). As a
consequence, equation (23) is incorrect.
(3) There is a mistake from equation (23) to equation (24). From equation (23), there is
1 ∂τ ∂t 1 1

then

2 c − v c + v ∂t ∂x ′ c − v ∂t
(4) For a definite ray, it is first defined that the ray moves with velocity c relative to the
stationary system; then, it is also defined that the ray moves with velocity c relative to the
moving system. This is an evident mistake.
(5) In equations (21), (23) and (24), the velocity between bodies and photons c + v exceeds
the light velocity c. This conflicts with the main claim of Special Relativity.
(6) “If we place x ' = x − vt , it is clear that a point at rest in the system k must have a system
of values x' , y, z , independent of time”. Here, first, let x ' = x − vt , then let x ′ be independent
of t . This is a conflict.

(7) First assuming x ' = x − vt , and then the result is ξ = . ξ = x' . This is also a

Einstein’s paper “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” is full of mistakes and
conflicts.

and O ′ are at the same point ( t = t ' = 0 ), at any time t ( t ' in K ′ ), the positions at these two
coordinate systems are as follows respectively
x = ct , x ' = ct '−vt ' . (28)
Substitution of equation (28) into the product of equation (3) and equation (6) yields
k =1. (29)
Substitution of equation (29) into (3) and (4) yields
x = x '+ vt '
x' = x − vt . (30)
t = t'
This is the classic Galilean transformation. There is no light speed in it.
5.2 Equation (28) accords with experimental result of the constant speed of light
As shown in Fig. 2, if a photon emitted from a source fixed at O of OXYZ system moves
from O at time t = 0 , arrives at A at time t, then its relative speed to O (or source) in OXYZ
O A x ct O ′A x' ( A) ct '−vt '
is = = = c ; and its relative speed to O′ in O′X ′Y ′Z ′ is = = =c −v;
t t t t' t' t'
and the measured speed of this photon relative to its source in O′X ′Y ′Z ′ is
O A x' ( A) − x' (O) (ct '−vt ' ) − (−vt ' )
= = = c . For a specific photon, its relative speeds to
t' t' t'
different systems are varied; its relative speeds to its source measured in different systems are
the same.
5.3 Deductions
Special Relativity based upon the Lorentz transformation is not correct. As the key
components of Special Relativity, the simultaneity effect, length contraction effect, time
dilation effect, mass increasing effect and the question of rest energy are all groundless. The
relative speed between two objects can exceed the light speed.
6. Conclusions
(1) Special Relativity is derived from a misunderstanding of experimental results involving
the constant speed of light.
(2) Special Relativity based upon the Lorentz transformation is not correct.
(3) Descriptions of a definite event in all inertial coordinate systems moving uniformly
relatively to another are equal.
(4) The relative speed between two objects can exceed the light speed.
(5) Einstein’s paper “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” is full of mistakes and
conflicts.

Abstract: This paper presents problems with the special theory of relativity (STR), including:
(1) The principle of relativity as interpreted by Einstein conflicts with the uniqueness of the
universe. (2) The light principle conflicts with the notion that natural phenomena depend only
upon mutual interaction and the involved relative motion. The principle contains a tacit
assumption that leads to self-contradiction. (3) The Lorentz transformation(LT) is based, not
upon the so-called light principle, but rather upon a general time-space dependence, and lacks
a proof of necessity and uniqueness. (4) The LT contradicts its premises, holding for no
observer. (5) The Lorentz contraction is shown untenable in practice. (6) The prediction of
time dilation is only a special case of a general result that is self-contradictory.
1 Introduction
There is no doubt that the physical Universe is the only object of study of physics. The
basic view of the world, underlying all physical theories and justified by history of physics, is
the doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human
consciousness. The objectivity, reality, and uniqueness of the universe are therefore the initial
premises of natural sciences. Based on this view, the phenomena of nature, which ultimately
depend only upon interaction between matter and relative motion thereof, can simultaneously
and equally be described by means of any single coordinate system; i.e., nothing in the
Universe can be changed by the employment of a coordinate system.
Consider, for example, a stone dropped, but not thrown, to the embankment by Einstein
standing at a window of a railway carriage, which is traveling uniformly with respect to the
embankment. With respect to the embankment, the railway carriage, or any other body in the
Universe, the stone traverses an absolutely definite, independent trajectory. Clearly, the phrase
‘the motion of the stone’ has no definite meaning without the reference body being specified.
Given a single specified coordinate system, all motions of all bodies in the Universe with
respect to this frame, and with respect to one another, can be described simultaneously by
means of this frame. Whatever coordinate system is employed, the trajectory traced by
Einstein’s stone with respect to the ground is a parabola, while that with respect to the
carriage is a straight line.
It is incorrect to consider a coordinate system as able to describe only motions of bodies
21
with respect to itself. It is even more fallacious to regard a coordinate transformation as a
reference-body switch of relative motions[1]. When the coordinate system rigidly attached to
the ground is employed, the carriage is still there, and the motion of the stone with respect to
it cannot be destroyed or altered by the employment of that frame. Everybody knows how to
figure out the trajectory of this motion by using this system, just as well as by using the
system rigidly attached to the carriage. It is only because the stone is in an absolutely definite,
independent motion with respect to every other body in the Universe that we can
simultaneously compare them and find them different from each other, whereby we obtain the
knowledge that motion is relative.
It is therefore not right to interpret the relativity of motion only as: ’viewed from the
embankment’ the stone is in a parabola motion, while ‘viewed from the carriage’ it is in a
straight line motion. The phrase ‘viewed from the embankment’ is ambiguous. It is unlucky
for physics that such phraseology has come into use in published articles. Although it means
here ‘with respect to the embankment’, one often fails to know what it means; say, “viewed
from the coordinate system S’”, in S the laws of electrodynamics are in the form of Maxwell’s
equation, whereas in S’, they are not. This kind of phraseology also makes the coordinate
system now subject, then object, depending on one’s requirement.
One should also know that not only “viewed from the embankment” the stone is in
straight line motion with respect to the carriage, but also “viewed from anywhere”, the stone
is in straight line motion relative to the carriage too, as well as in parabolic motion relative to
the embankment. The two relative motions are really both absolute, here meaning that either
of them has already contained within it the consequence of all physical effects exerted upon it,
and cannot still be anything different depending on viewpoint.
In accord with the special theory of relativity (STR), ‘relativity’ means that one and the
same thing is different according to different definitions (the phrase ‘when viewed from
different inertial observers’ is here equivalent to ‘according to different definitions’[3]). The
relativity of lengths, masses, and times, all refer to one and the same body or one and the
same pair of clocks, as clearly stated by Miller [2]:
“There were no such notions as the true time or the true length of an object; rather these
were relative concepts: For example, the length of the rod was either or rAB, depending
rod to be , we are unable simultaneously to know and believe that other observers in motion
relative to us should regard it as shorter than . How can we come to such a conclusion? All
we can do is use our standards of length and time to measure all bodies and all time intervals,
and we must thereby find that during two events every object in the Universe, moving or not
with respect to us, must age the amount equal to the interval of the two events, independent of
the reading of the clock traveling with it. It is not allowed by STR for us, on the one hand, to
measure the interval of the two events with our own standard of time, and, on the other hand,
to measure the aging of the object with the readings of the clock which is traveling with the
object and which, according to STR, we do not think keeps the correct time, in order that we
can agree that the object, if moving relatively to us, ages less than the interval of the two
events.
It is perhaps necessary to point out here that Einstein’s defining the reading of a clock as
time is no less absurd than defining the reading of a speedometer as speed, the reading of a
log as distance, the reading of a counter as number, the reading of a potentiometer as electric
potential. A clock is nothing but a measuring instrument. If no quantity precedes, no
measuring instrument is necessary, without mentioning the fact that no one can design an
instrument for measuring the unknown quantity, still less can one know the measuring
precision and the stability of the instrument. Therefore time and the unit of time must both be
well defined before any clock or watch comes into use.

rest. Besides, granted that the ship is moving uniformly, it is not the ship, but rather a
uniformly moving flatcar, that can be regarded as an inertial coordinate system. One cannot
see what is seen in the ship when he is on the flatcar. The reason is very simple: there is only
one atmosphere that cannot be in the same state of motion relative to the Earth as relative to
the flatcar.
It is to be emphasized that the Einsteinian relativity is essentially different from the
Galilean relativity, which says that all inertial coordinate systems are totally equivalent for the
description of the Universe.
3 Derivation of the LT
In physics, in fact, the only bases underlying all physical equations is the unquestionable
fact that a thing is always identical with itself. In other words, both sides of every equation
always stand for one and the same quantity. This has already been, and will forever be, the
unique basis for us to establish physical equations, the coordinate transformation equations
being no exception.
Suppose there are two bodies, A and B, if we want to express the position of A with
respect to B, we need, first of all, to establish a Cartesian coordinate system, K, rigidly
attached to B and with B at the origin, then measure the three coordinates, x, y, and z of A to
obtain the position of A relative to B,
(1)
Now for some reason we need to express this very relative position in terms of a coordinate
system, K’, which is in uniform motion with velocity v with respect to B. Let the position of A
with respect to K’ at time t be
(2)
(3)
It is the fact that Eqs. (1) and (4) are one and the same position of A with respect to B that
gives the Galilean transformation (GT) equations
, , (5)
With the proof of the uniqueness and necessity of these equations absolutely unnecessary.
Moreover, we have no choice but to accept all features of these equations. In other words, not
before, but only after these equations have been so soundly obtained can we know and believe
all their properties to be true.
By contrast, the derivation of the LT is completely groundless. Einstein and others,
such as Bergmann [9] and Rindler [10], made no proof of the uniqueness and necessity of the
LT equations either before or after the derivation of the LT. Moreover, their derivations are
full of fictitious assumptions, such as the linear dependence of t’, not only on t, but also on x,
y, and z, and the properties of homogeneity of space and time (in fact, these assumptions are
not only petitio principii, but also in conflict with the conclusions resulting from the LT based
on them. For example, ‘viewed from either of the two coordinate systems in uniform relative
motion’ clocks in the other system placed along the y- or z-axis are synchronized with each
other, whereas those placed along the x-axis are not; namely, time is not homogeneous and for
a similar reason neither is space).
The LT is said to be derived from Einstein’s two formal postulates that are
mathematically expressed as
, (6)
It is explicit that t and t’ are both arbitrary constants, not independent variables in the same
sense as x, y, and z, namely that only when they are both given are the two equations both
spherical equations; nevertheless, they are treated, in deriving the LT, as independent
variables, on completely equal footing with x, y, and z, since Einstein substitutes x, y, z, t,
contained in Eq. (6) for the spacial coordinates x, y, z, and the time t of an arbitrary event.
Clearly, this treatment not only makes space and time interrelated, as definitely shown by the
LT, but also makes Eq. (6) no more or less than the time-space dependence, which is
obviously absurd.
Without any proof of the uniqueness of the LT, Rindler alleged, after his derivation of
the LT, “if there is a transformation satisfying the requirements of SR, then it must be (the
LT)”. Rindler’s allegation has been shown outright untenable by Xu Shaozhi and Xu
Xiangqun [7].
What is even more seriously shown by Xu Shaozhi and Xu Xiangqun is that the LT is
actually not based upon Einstein’s two postulates as expressed by Eq.(6) but upon the
26
following equation
(7)
With t and t’ being independent variables on completely equal footing with x, y, and z, which
is now absolutely in conflict with the light principle, being really an interrelation of time and
space. This fact not only implies that the LT is not based on Eq. (6), much less on Einstein’s
two postulates, but reveals how space and time have already been from the outset interrelated
as well.
4 Premises of the LT
Besides what is exposed above, the other premises of the LT are obviously as follows:
First, each coordinate system is equipped with a rigid measuring rod and a number of clocks,
each measuring rod and all clocks being ‘in all respects alike’. Second, the clocks fixed at
different points of each system are synchronized with each other.
On reflection, we find that we do not know to whom we are saying these premises; i.e.,
for whom these premises hold good. According to the STR, even we ourselves do not accept
them as valid, if we are not really on Olympus. An observer at rest in S would find the clocks
in S’ not synchronized to one another, the two measuring-rods and the clocks in S and S’ in no
respects alike, and vice versa. Therefore, no observer in either system can derive the LT, much
less can they accept it as correct. Although the observers in either system do not accept the
LT, it is very strange that when we use the LT (granted that we are entitled to use it) to get
from the space-time coordinates of an event relative to S to the new space-time coordinates of
that event relative to S’ for the observers in S’, the observers in S’ have to regard the new
space-time coordinates not only as true but also as measured by themselves. We know of no
other place in physics where there exists such a peremptory logic. Observers are no more or
less than puppets when viewed from Einstein. We wish we were not observers.
5 Lorentz Contraction
The following experiment indicates the impossibility of the Lorentz contraction.
Turn a railway carriage upside down so that its front and rear wheels can turn freely. Join
the two wheels with a rigid rod by means of two eccentric axles fixed respectively on the
edges of the two wheels. Practice tells us that only when the length of the rod is equal to the
distance between the two central axles of the two wheels can the two wheels still turn freely.
We now suppose the rod is equal to the distance, and these wheels are turned swiftly; the rod
is thus in motion with respect to the carriage, suffering the Lorentz contraction ‘when viewed
in the coordinate system attached rigidly to the carriage’. Since the two central axles are
rigidly fixed on the carriage, the distance between them does not suffer such an effect. The
rod is therefore shorter than the distance between the two central axles, whence it follows that
these wheels cannot be turned. This conclusion is obviously out of accord with the fact that
these wheels are turning.
27
It is to be noted that, in accordance with STR, Lorentz contraction means that the length
of a rod, under any conditions whatsoever, at any instant, is simultaneously different ‘viewed
from different inertial observers’, not that the rod has different lengths at different times or in
different situations. The length of a rod is always the consequence of all known and unknown
effects acted on it by all objects present in the Universe. Even granted that there is an ether,
the notion that, in the ether, when a rod is moving with speed v parallel to its length, its length
is shorter compared to its resting length, has nothing to do with the Lorentz contraction.
6 Time Dilation
Immediately after his discussion of length contraction, Einstein made another prediction.
He argued as follows:
“We imagine one of the clocks which are qualified to make the time t when at rest
relatively to the stationary system (the system S in this paper), and the time (t’ in this
paper) when at rest relatively to the moving system (S’ in this paper), to be located at the
origin of the coordinates of (S’), and so adjusted that it marks the time . What is the
“Between the quantities and , which refer to the position of the clock, we have,
evidently, and
Therefore,
Whence it follows that the time marked by the clock (viewed in the stationary system) is
higher order, by ”.
Which shows that the moving clock is fast by seconds per second, being in
28
conflict with Einstein’s conclusion.
In order to show Einstein’s conclusion being untenable, we should first ascertain what
he meant by the phrase ‘viewed in the stationary system’. In STR, this kind of phraseology
appears in every conclusion, and has different meanings in different conclusions, really being
an elixir playing the role of confusing reader’s mind. Here it may be in the place of the phrase
‘compared to the stationary clock’.
It is common sense that whenever one compares two things, there always exist two
exactly equivalent statements of the result. Take, for example, the comparison of the two
clocks, A and B. If one finds the clock A to be m seconds per second slower than B, one will
claim that the clock B is m seconds per second faster than A. In other words, ‘compared to B
the clock A runs slow’ is exactly equivalent to ‘compared to A the clock B runs fast’. Besides,
connecting the interval , ‘viewed from the moving system’, of the two events occurring
respectively at and , and the interval t, ‘viewed from the stationary system’, of the
same two events. Why is it ‘viewed in the stationary system’ but not ‘viewed in the moving
system’ that is to be added to the relation? Is science language games?
Therefore, Einstein’s conclusion is exactly equivalent to the assertion that the stationary
clock is fast by the same amount compared to the moving clock which, as shown by Dingle,
should be faster than the stationary clock. This is what is shown by Dingle to be the
inconsistency of the theory.
For refutation of Dingle’s objection, Max Born [14] and McCrea [15] made an
argument to the effect that Einstein’s conclusion results from the comparison of the proper
time interval of the moving clock to the stationary non-proper time interval, whereas Dingle’s
results from the comparison of the stationary proper time interval to the moving non-proper
time interval. The two conclusions therefore ‘refer to different physical situations’; and
have not the same meaning in the two expressions. Dingle’s conclusion is therefore not in
conflict with Einstein’s conclusion.
What a strange explanation. We now fail to know how many different meanings the
time t (or ) has. This is the first time we have heard that physical situation can alter the
nature of time. And we also fail to know why, neither Max Born nor McCrea explains
whether there is any relation between a proper time interval and its corresponding non-proper
time interval of the same coordinate system. As known, since clocks are all synchronized,
there must be a certain relation between the two intervals. As long as such relation exists,
whatsoever it may be, Dingle’s objection must hold good.
29
The following demonstration may be necessary for further refuting Max Born’s
argument and similar ones. Between the two times and , there is a general relation that can
be drawn from the LT, and of which both Einstein’s and Dingle’s conclusionsare merely
special cases. Let us assume that at the time , a mass point M that is moving with
constant speed in the x-direction, passes through the origin of S, which coincides at that
moment with the origin of S’, and at S-time arrives at . According to Einstein’s logic
exactly, between the quantities and , which refer to the position of M, we have evidently,
Lorentz factor, whence it follows that the time marked by the clock of S’ (viewed in the
when . Nothing shows that the two conclusions refer to different physical situations in
which and have not the same meaning. This general result is now the comparison of the
two non-proper time intervals between the same two events. What in this theory can make
now one, and then the other, the greater one?
Max Born’s argument means that, in the stationary system, although all clocks fixed at
different places are synchronized with each other, the non-proper time interval has no
relation to any proper time interval of the clock at rest at , namely, this clock has no
reading corresponding to , or in other words, that one cannot use any proper time interval of
the clock at to calculate the position of the moving clock, namely, if we let stand for
the proper time interval of the clock at , whatever may be, . If really so, we
would fail to understand as to what Einstein meant by “the property of homogeneity which we
refer to time”, and the theory would completely be meaningless, because it makes us unable
to determine even the position and velocity of the moon relative to the earth, since it is
impossible for us to place clocks at different points on the orbit of the moon. If not, however,
30
no matter what the relation between and may be, Dingle’s objection is valid.
In fact, the equality of to has been used by all authors, including Einstein
himself (Einstein clearly knows that a theory which even fails to give the relation between
and cannot be regarded as a good theory). The strong evidence is that in the quoted paper
Einstein simultaneously uses both proper time interval and non-proper time interval to
express the same velocity of light , namely, , using the proper time
interval, , using the non-proper time interval. This completely means that
the two time-intervals have the same meaning. We are surprised that those physicists claiming
to be of integrity should be regardless of these facts when they explain away Dingle’s
objection.
7 Concluding Remarks
Every problem presented above is fatal to STR. This determines that STR must suffer
acute refutation. We know that the STR is per se an observer-dependent theory. But this does
not mean that we should start from this viewpoint to disprove this viewpoint, and are
considered to be wrong when we demonstrate and assert something really independent of
observers. First to ascertain why it is observer-dependent, and then point out where and how it
goes wrong by demonstrating how and why it is really independent of observers, is a valid
way to disprove this theory.
It is surprising that, although some authors confess that STR is inconsistent, they hold the
doctrine that Einstein was so fortunate that he frequently came to the right conclusions by
using false reasoning, and claim that all relativistic paradoxes of length contraction of rods,
etc., have been resolved through absolute space and time physics, derived from the Galilei
covariant Maxwell equations. Clearly, according to the above analysis, these authors’ claim
shows only that their ‘theory’ is no better than STR.

-
space-time with one step smashing the shackles of Einstein theory of relativity limitation of
the velocity of macro object movement and eliminating the fairytale of Shrink-foot clock slow
t =τ. ( 2′ )
In his book[1] Einstein said that space and time data have a physically real, and a mere
fictitious, significance; in particular this holds for all the relation in which coordinates and
time enter .There is, therefore, sense in asking whether those equations are true or not, as well
as in asking what the true equations of transformation are by which we pass from one inertial
system K to another, K', moving relatively to it. We point out that Einstein’s problem and
33
thinking above are no any sense and are wrong. Since space and time data relate both of
different observers and different measurement instruments, therefore these data has not any
physically real significance and then the so-called true equations of transformation cannot be
uniquely settled. It was proven that equations of transformation settled by means of the
principle of the constancy of the velocity of light in a vacuum is not uniquely true equations,
the equations of Galilean transformation are also true equations of transformation, they are
equivalent each other’s [4].
In order to obtain new equations of transformation to replace the Galilean transformation,
Einstein started from linear transformation of the type (see [1], p-32, (24) )
xµ′ = aµ + bµα xα , ( A)
where x'µ to be the space-time coordinates of an event in another inertial system K', moving
relative to K, applying the principle of special relativity and the principle of the constancy of
the velocity of light , he obtained the Lorenz transformation[1] p-34
x1 −ν l
x1′ = ,
1 −ν 2
l −ν x1
( 29 ) l′ = ,
1 −ν 2
x2′ = x2 ,
x3′ = x3 ,
where γ= 1/δ, δ = √(1-ν2), ν = v/c, and l (= ct), l'(= ct') to be light-time. This transformation
make that the Maxwell electromagnetic equations have covariance.
Eliminating x1 in the second equation of (29) by means of the first equation of (29), we
obtain following geographic time difference formula of clocks in moving inertial system K'
l ′ = δ l −ν x1′, ( B)
which indicates :(10) all clocks situated at rest at the space points where x1'≠0 have same rate
and different geographic time difference -νx1' with the standard clock situated at rest at origin
O', (20) the rates of all clocks situated at rest at the space points of the inertial frame of
reference K' are δ (= √(1-ν2)) time of the rate of the clocks situated at rest at the space points
of the inertial frame of reference K where all clocks have been synchronized according
Einstein’s scheme of adjustment of the clocks at rest relatively to an inertial system .
Replace x1, x2, x3, l by x, y, z, ct, these equations can be written in the form
x′ = β ( x − vt ), y′ = y, z ′ = z, (1*)
2
t ′ = β (t − vx c ), (2*)
where β=1/δ. Since equations (A) has not any information which shows what measuring-
sticks and what clocks to be applied in the system K', the Lorentz transformation only
34
guarantees that the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light holds, but it
cannotguarantees that the space-time coordinates of an event in system K' calculated by
means of Lorentz transformation do not conflict with his scheme of adjustment of the clocks
in another inertial system. Therefore it is fantasy that Einstein and his followers considered
that the coordinates (x', y', z', t') in K' are found in the same way as the coordinates in K by
means of standard clocks at rest in K' [2] (p36).
What measuring-sticks and what clocks should be applied for the system K’? whole
deducing process of Lorentz transformation indicates that they should not be decided by
Einstein and his followers, but they must be determined by Lorentz transformation. The
famous twin “paradox” in STR shows that the Einstein scheme of adjustment of the clocks
cannot be applied in the system K'. It is proven that the famous twin “paradox” in STR will
not existed after the clocks to be regulated according to the geographic time difference
formula (B)[4].
νn
x1′ = −ν l ′ = − .
1 −ν 2
Replace n by l in Eq. (C), we obtain
l = 1 −ν 2 l ′, ( C *)
Consider that the clock C' at rest at the origin x1'=0, we can obtain from the first and second
equations of (B)
l ′ = 1 −ν 2 l , ( C **)
Einstein and his followers considered that (C*), (C**) are equivalent to following formulas
respectively
∆l = 1 −ν 2 ∆l ′, ( D *)
∆l ′ = 1 −ν 2 ∆l , ( D **)
and then present the mythology of moving clocks based upon (D*) and (D**) which leads to
the famous twin “paradox”. However we will prove that the formula (D*) is not equivalent to
(C*) and it does not hold.
Since l , l ′ are instantaneously registered time, it is Einstein’s supper mistake that their
comparison has been considered as the criterion for the comparison of rates of clocks . We
must consider their started time respectively to compare their time difference respectively.
When the origin O coinciding with origin O', for all clocks situated at rest at different space
points in K, we have l = 0 since these clocks are regulated according to the Einstein scheme.
Therefore we have
∆l = l − 0 = n.
For clock C' when the origin O coinciding with origin O', its registered time can be obtained
from (B) by putting t =0 and x1'= -νl' as follows
νn ν 2n
l ′ = −ν − = .

Fig 1. At t' = t =0, the clock C which is situated at rest at the origin O coinciding with the
origin O'
while the clock C' which is situated at rest at the point A' specified by
coordinate x'=x'1=-νl'
on the x'-axis records the geographic time difference l'=-ν2n/√(1-ν2).
Therefore we obtain
n ν 2n
∆l ′ = − = 1 −ν 2 n. (E*)
2 2
1 −ν 1 −ν
Then we have
∆l ′ = 1 − ν 2 ∆l , (E)
which is same with (D**) and leads to an opposite consequence to Einstein as follows: “The
clock goes faster than if it were at rest relatively to K'”. The formula (E) comes from (C*) and
(C**) respectively that shows that (E) and its physics deduction are independent of observers.
The local clocks situated at rest at different space points in K' go slower than the local clocks
situated at rest at different space points in K where Einstein scheme has been performed. This
result holds for all observers and then there is no a little of relativity.
λ = 1 − 1 − v 2 c 2 / v = ( 1 + V 2 c 2 − 1) / V ,
( ) (5)
V = dx dτ , (6) v = dx dt , (7)
v =V 1 + V 2 c2 , (8)
utilizing extremely simple elementary mathematical operation, it can make strict derivation
each other between Galilean transformation (1) and(2)and Lorenz transformation (1*) and(2*)
(see relating paper 4 and 5), so it denies the traditional fallacy that Galilean transformation is
the low speed similarity of Lorenz transformation while the same correctness of these two
transformations is definitely proven. The velocity v, V in (6), (7) relate the different
definitions of velocity. Using clock without geographic time difference to measure time, the
velocity definition is (6), so we call it proper velocity. The macro object proper velocity and
light proper velocity obey the Galilean addition theorem for velocities, vacuum light speed is
changeable and Newtonian mechanics is beyond limitation of Lorenz transformation---
velocity is no limit. The velocity in (7) is coordinate velocity and macro object movement
coordinate velocity and coordinate light speed obey the Einstein velocities addition formula:
the vacuum coordinate light speed is not changeable, the coordinate velocity of any macro
object can’t surpass light speed in vacuum. In the application science filed of mechanics and
electrodynamics relating with large scale time and space area, it can use these two
transformations, however, Lorenz transformation relates with artificial setup of different
location with geographic time difference and it is not suitable to apply, therefore it does not
have the actual value and for space navigation, it is useless at all.
Considering the geographic time difference(3),(4) hided in time coordinate in Lorenz
transformation, the calculation made by the transformation shows: the moving clock and
static clock work at the same rate and moving rule and static ruler have the same length which
completely denies the fallacy of Einstein[4].

δ time synchronized clocks than the clocks in K while non-zero geographic time differences

C2
Therefore the Galilean transformation can then be expressed in the form
1
x′ = δ ∗ ( x − vt ), y′ = y, z′ = z,
t ′ = δ ∗t − vx′ ,
C2
which is the Shi’s Galilean transformation which guarantees that the Maxwell equations to be
co-variant with respect to the transformation in the absolute space-time.Shi’s Galilean
transformation has the same mathematical formulas with the Lorentz transformation, but they
are different transformation since there are different installations of clocks and rules
respectively in two inertial systems for the Shi’s Galilean transformation, and then
iteliminating the fairytale of Shrink-foot clock slow. Shi’s Galilean transformation is
independent of the Einstein’s suppositions on the physical symmetry and the principle of
constancy of the velocity of light in vacuum. Shi’s Galilean transformation continues to have
the fundamental hypotheses of the Newton mechanics:
(1). Time is absolute, (2). Length is absolute.
The transformation result of Lorenz transformation on Maxwell field equation keeps the
same physics effect with Galilean transformation besides their different mathematical
formats.
For the most typical physical deduction “the moving clock works slower” of Einstein
theory
of relativity, we change a letter for it in the result “the moving clock adjusts slower” as the
end of Einstein theory of relativity.
It has been proven that Shi’s Galilean transformation with its inverse transformation has
same artificial installation of measurement instruments.[6]
The curtain of a physical farce spanning the two centuries will fall down soon.

Using Space-time Quantization to Solve the Problems Unsolved by General Relativity
Xu Jianmin
(Lawyer of Beijing Unitalen Law Office,[email protected])
Abstract: Based on the law of thermodynamics, the paper proposes the assumptions of
radiation and redshift, establishes the quantum gravitational field equations and motion
equations, and presents that particles move along the path with the minimum entropy
production. The paper also applies the equivalence principle of acceleration and the
gravitational field into the electromagnetic field, which makes the electromagnetic field
equation to have the same form with gravitational field equation. Under the quantization of
space-time, the unification of electromagnetic field and gravitational field is achieved. An
attempt is also made to propose a scheme to unify all fields, namely, all fields are quantum
metric fields. The reason for different strengths of fields is their different fine structure
constants. The problems of singularity in gravitational field and the infinity in quantum
electrodynamics are solved, and all equations return to classical theories under extreme
conditions.
1Introduction
As is well known, the following problems of general relativity have not been solved:
firstly, the equivalence principle resulted from the direct proportion between inertia mass and
gravitational mass and the Mach principle notably established based on the assumption of
instantaneousaction-at-a-distance could not be the first principles. They should be rooted on a
higher level of principles. What is the final principle then? Secondly, the problem of
singularity. Since the establishment of general relativity, some solutions have occurred
singularities which make the metric difficult to be defined. Although some physicists believe
that both collapsed star and evolution of the universe would inevitably lead to singularities,
the equation of general relativity fails on the singularities with zero time existence, zero
volume, infinite density and infinite gravity. Thirdly, problem of unified field. After the
establishment of general relativity, Einstein attempted to unify gravitational field and
electromagnetic field based on the general relativity, but failed. The problem here is whether
the geometrization of space-time could be taken as the foundation of the total field. If not,
what is the foundation of the unification? Fourthly, the problem of quantization of space-time.
If all fields are defined on the framework of space-time, then the quantization of field is
actually the quantization of space-time, but it is the problem which has not been solved by the
general relativity. Obviously, problems above are fundamental and significant problems of
physics. It is impossible to solve the problems just in this paper. The paper only attempts to
draw the outline of the issue. The basic idea of the paper is to build the general relativity on a
higher level of principle, and based on this, to realize the quantization of fields and the
unification of gravitational field and electromagnetic field. Meanwhile, new theory is
consistent with the general relativity in the following aspects: Space-time is completely
dynamic; physical equations should be covariant to any transformation of coordinates. To all
41
observers, no matter whether it is uniform motion, accelerated movement or rotation, laws of
nature appear the same. The metric determines the space-time, and space-time affects the
metric. This is the so called background independence.
and c is light velocity. According to hypothesis, the quantum should continue to carry out red
shift towards empty space, and the change of quantum momentum is:
h h
∆p = − (ω − ω 0 ) = − ∆ω = −( p − p0 )
c c
“-”stands for quantum redshift. The change of momentum could be expressed as:
∆p h ∆ω
=−
∆t c ∆t
Namely, the impulsive force generated by quantum redshift, (Note that, in order to provide
convenience, vectors used in the paper are one dimensional)
F =−
h ∆ω
c ∆t
(1)
Since the direction of impulse force is same with the momentum increase, the negative sign
shows that the direction of the force generated by quantum redshift points to field source. This
kind of radiation is isotropic spherical radiation, and the force of this radiation to the earth
surface is symmetrical.
Given
∆ω
f =

Then
F =−

As a new function, f could be called frequency fluctuation rate. According to the equivalence
theory of mass and energy, energy quantum has mass, and the force generated by the quantum
should be equivalent to the universal gravitation of Isaac Newton, namely,
h hω
− f = 2 g
c c
f = − gk (3)
k = 2π
In the formula, λ is wave vector. Negative sign means that the direction of f
decrease is opposite to the field direction, namely, it is an attractive force. As a scalar
,
product the formula above could also be written as f = −gkcos θ . In the formula, θ is the
43
included angle between g and k; when θ = π / 2 , f = 0 , which means that no energy change

occurs on the equipotential line when θ = π , f > 0 ,direction of g is opposite to that of

k namely, there is repulsive force.
g = − ln(

ω0 r
(6)
This is the equation of static gravitational field. The equation shows that, all the fields
between same high frequency and same low frequency are equal, and they have nothing to do
with the matters of field source.
Under the circumstance of weak gravitational field, the frequency change could be taken as
continuous process, and equation (1) could be written as:
F =−
h dω
c dt

The formula above indicates that the force field generated by quantum redshift is conservative
force field. Frequency difference constitutes potential difference. When considering k → ∇ ,

Poisson's equation is substituted into above equation.

For object motion, the equation should be used in three levels.

6 Wave Equation
Particle oscillation results in gravitational waves and the wave equations are:
k × g// = ω g⊥
k × g⊥ = µ0ε 0ω g//
Among them, ω and k are the frequency and wave vector of the field point energy level
respectively. In a weak gravitational field,
∇ × g// = ω g⊥
∇ × g⊥ = µ0ε 0ω g//
46
Single particle acceleration won't produce gravitational waves, and only particles
oscillating back and forth would produce gravitational waves. When single particle
g g
accelerates, the inertial field // and the gravitational field 0 are in opposite directions, and
they can almost offset in a weak field, so that it's as if inside a lift free falling in the earth's
gravitational field. However ,when particles oscillate back and forth, g // and g ⊥ could form
and outspread gravitational waves through mutual excitation. Accelerating particles may
interact with the gravitational waves. This effect can be detected at the time of solar eclipse.
When solar eclipse occurs, the moon is suddenly attracted by the solar gravitational field to
accelerate, and then reverberated back due to the earth's gravity attraction, generating
oscillation (acceleration). At this time, the acceleration of the moon approximately equals to
the solar gravitational field for the moon orbiting the sun. According to formula (15), if
ignoring the transverse field, the inertial field generated by the moon equals to its acceleration
generated by the sun. The additional acting force imposed on moving bodies on the earth such
F ≈ mg 太
as torsional pendulum by this inertial field is . In the formula, m is the mass of the
g太
torsional pendulum, and is the gravitational acceleration of the sun. According to
GM 太
F≈ m ≈ 5.89 × 10 -3 m
estimation, the force is r2 . Since they are moving gravitational
field, they only affect accelerating objects. Only moving bodies (accelerating) produce
gravitational waves, and therefore gravitational waves can only be detected by moving
bodies. Experimental physicists are expected to inspect the conclusions drawn above.

Thus equivalent work produced by quantum redshift only relates to the quantum at the
beginning and the end states, but has nothing to do with the path of the quantum. According to
the law of conservation of energy, the work generated from quantum redshift transformation
into field and their energy dissipations are equivalent. Therefore, it is in a reversible state
2
ω 2 − ω1 = R ∫

fdt = 0
∆ω = 0 f =0
R in the formula represents the integral along the reversible process.
However, in a static gravitational field, due to the quantum redshift, there must be
ω 2 < ω1
2
Hence ∫
fdt < 0
1
∆ω < 0 f <0
47
It is an irreversible process. To combine both reversible and irreversible circumstances
∆ω ≤ 0 f ≤0
That is to say, in a static gravitational field, frequency variation rate never increase.
Moreover, in a gravitational field, due to

ω 0 is the probability of quantum redshift, and take logarithms on both sides of the equation

Therefore, entropy is

S = −k

Among them, k is the Boltzmann constant. The equation above is the relationship between
field and entropy.
Since f ≤ 0 under the natural state, the entropy increase process is the decrease process of
frequency variation rate f .

∆S = S 2 − S1 = k ( 2

c c c
V here is gravitational potential. The increase of entropy means the capability to produce
work declines.
Then we discuss the entropy change in the gravitational field with accelerating particle
system.
From the concept of entropy, quantum redshift is the natural direction of energy transfer,
and could proceed spontaneously. Blue shift is the unnatural direction, and it cannot proceed
without external influence. Acceleration is the unnatural direction, and cannot proceed
without external force. Here we popularize Prigogine’s Entropy Change Theory. Prigogine
thought the entropy change of system ( dS ) is equal to the sum of entropy flow
dS = d S + d S ( d S ≥ 0)
e (19)
i i
in an isolated system,
de S = 0 ,
so
dS = d S ≥ 0
i .
In a system with acceleration, inertial field makes the original red-shifted quantum have
a blue shift again, like negative entropy flow entering the system from the outside.
de s < 0
However, since acceleration must be with a gravitomagnetic field vertical to it, and this field
makes no contribution to the quantum's blue-shift of the original field. This could also be
proven by the aspect of field to do work. An object accelerating at the radial direction
48
certainly generate a gravitomagnetic field vertical to the radial direction.
mg⊥ = mg0
1 ar
2 c3
× vr (20)
The displacement at radial direction is
vr dt = dr
Both sides of equation (20) multiply by vr dt , and the right side is 0, which means the
Coriolis field doesn’t do any work on the mass point, and the blue-shift of inertial field is not
able to restore the red-shifted quantum into original state, namely, there is always
de S + di S ≥ 0 (21)
So the second law of thermodynamics is effective generally.
8 Particles always move along the path with minimum entropy production
In classical mechanics, the movements of particles comply with the principle of least
action. According to the principle, the difference between mean kinetic energy and mean
potential energy of the path where particles go from one point to another point should be as
small as possible. Particles choose a shortest path after considering all the paths in the process
of movement. This seems contradictory with human intellect. Nobody could explain the
reason of the existence of such principle contradictory with human intellect even today. The
red-shift field theory could explain this. The acceleration of particle breaks the original
process (positive process) approaching to balance. So there must be a reversed process
(reverse process), and this reversed process will certainly approximate to the positive process
as far as possible. The difference of these two processes should be the least.
For a complete process of acceleration, the energy change is: under the circumstance of
weak gravitational field, doing Taylor expansion on formula (5) and ignoring small amounts
above second order, we can get
ω1 = ω 0 (1− gr / c 2 )
This is the change of red-shift of positive field. The change of blue-shift of inertial field
generated by particles' acceleration— reverse field is
ω 2 = ω1 (1+ gr / c 2 )
So the total change of energy is
ω 2 = ω 0 {1− (gr / c 2 )2 }
Apparently, the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy is a second order small
amount. The principle of least action is to ignore this second order small amount, namely,
δ ∫ ∆ω = 0
We know is the clock-measuring frequency difference fixed on the movement reference
system. It’s the reciprocal value of time difference, so the formula above could also be
expressed as the longest original time.
This is the principle of least action of reversible kinetics. The second law of
thermodynamics shows that every acceleration movement has a largest inertia
correspondingly, the difference between original field and inertial field is always the least,
and nature is always tending to balance. This is the essence of principle of least action.
However, for irreversible kinetics, the system’s tending to balance is still an irresistible force.
Nevertheless, when the boundary conditions prevent the system from going to a balance, the
system chooses the second best, going toward the state of minimum entropy production,
49
namely, approaching to the balanced state as far as possible. Particles move along the path
with minimum entropy production.

Entropy production could be expressed as the product of flow and force.

The energy flow or material flow coming from the environment (acceleration of particles)
determines a negative entropy flow, but it’s counteracted by the entropy in the system, and the
system transmits entropy to the outside. A stationary state with nonequilibrium state is
formed.

Above equations of gravitational field and electromagnetic field are not only unified in
forms, but also have the same generation mechanism, both being the products of quantum
frequency variation. For purpose of convenience, we express both fields by the formula of

For the deduction of the fine structure constant of strong nuclear field, we must turn the
frequency of the quantum into the particle with mass. We assume π meson is the energy level
in atomic nucleus, and the redshift of the proton could only occur by reaching π with one
step. Namely,
g2
π = pexp(− )
4πε 0 m0 c 2 r0
In the formula, m0 and r0 are the mass and wavelength of proton respectively, the fine
structure constant of neutron is
α n = ln
π
p
= −(g 2 / 4πε 0 c 2 r0 ) = −1.91 ,(29)
Meanwhile, when proton has redshift to π meson, recoil must occur, so as to have an inertial
field in which particle blue shift occurs. So
π = ( p − π ) exp( g 2 / 4πε 0 c 2 r )
Fine structure constant of proton is:
π
α p = ln = 1.79
p −π (30)
Since the directions of transverse fields (magnetic field) generated by red shift and blue
shift are opposite, so the field strength is finally represented on the difference of the two
transverse fields, namely 0.12.
The hadronic charge is calculated through formula (27), namely, g = 2.59 × 10 −18 ,
which is 1.616 × 101 times of electron charge.
The ratio between the strength of strong nuclear field and that of electromagnetic field is

For weak gravitational field, we could globally define the space-time, namely, the r of above

Under Planck length of L = Gh / c3 , fine structure constant is

Here, R is wavelength, and space-time must be locally defined.

We can see that, fine structure constant not only can measure the strength of fields, but it
is also the probability of mechanical quantity in the field to the inherent mechanical quantity;
meanwhile, it is taken as the metric to measure variation of space-time and phase.

It can be seen from c is in direct proportion to the frequency
fluctuation rate, and the frequency fluctuation rate is in direct proportion to frequency.
Therefore, the larger the fluctuation rate of frequency is, the larger the energy level spacing of
the equipotential surface, the more remarkable of its non-continuity and the stronger the force
will be. Along with the quantum redshift, the frequency decrease, frequency fluctuation rate
decreases, and the energy level spacing also decreases. Consequently, the far field energy
level will show continuity, and the force will become weaker. It can be seen from equation
ω
=0
(25), when r → ∞ , ω = ω 0 , no field exists. When r is close to zero, ω 0 ,namely,
when the wavelength of particles is extremely small, the frequency will maintain unchanged,
which is also called asymptotic freedom. From the angle of the quantization of space-time, it
is not possible for above two cases to exist, because the wavelength of the quantum could
neither be infinite, nor be zero. As a result, the above two cases could only approximately
exist.
From above analysis, we can work out the relation schema between the total field intensity
and the particle wavelength.

points. Since the particle mass is discrete, the fine structure constant is also discrete. Each fine
structure constant could only measure the strength of the section it represented, so the above
figure is only the rough description.
By using fine structure constant, we can solve the energy level and field problems inside the
hydrogen atom. Energy level or fields come from the quantum redshift caused by the energy

It accelerates electron and the acceleration generates an inertial field, namely positive

The so called electron self-energy means electron is accelerated to emit virtual photon,

54
Since a field must have a reversed field, or a blue shift must be with a red shift, the
remaining ∆ω after the offset of both is accumulated, namely, path summing (quantum
electrodynamics is path integral) is the track of particle. By using above methods, the mutual
effect between light and matter and the mutual effect between electron and electron will not
occur infinity, so it is not necessary to carry out renormalization. Reason for infinity occurred
in quantum electrodynamics is that electron emission and assimilation of virtual photons must
involve the change of electron mass and electric charge, while the red shift and blue shift only
involves field. In other words, the electron acceleration has nothing to do with the mass and
charge of electron. It is the equivalence principle of electromagnetic field.
Anomalous magnetic moment of protons and neutrons: we have got the fine structure
constants of protons and neutrons respectively from equations of (27)and(28). Since
protons have electric charge and natural magnetic moments, proton magnetic moment
is un = un0 (1+1.79) In the formula, 1.79µ n0 is anomalous magnetic moment. Neutron has
.
neither charge nor natural magnetic moments, and its magnetic moment is un = −1.91uN ,all
of which are anomalous magnetic moments.
By the same token, the fine structure constant of gravitational field could be used to
calculate the curve of light movement and precession of perihelion of Mercury in
gravitational field. Bending of the light and the precession of perihelion of Mercury are the
results of the effect of gravitomagnetic field.
Given ω 0 is the frequency of incident photons, the frequency of photons after the effect
of gravitational field is,
ω = ω0 exp(-GM/c2 r) = ω0 ( 1 − GM / c 2 r )
G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of stars, and r is the radius of stars. The average
value of energy deviation in every degree of freedom is
∆ω / ω0 = GM / c 2 r
For the reason that the movements of photons have four degrees of freedom, among which no
one is superior to the others, namely, they are statistically independent, so the deflected angle
of photons is
∆ω 4GM

It must be pointed that when calculating the above red-shift, if not ignoring the small

p c is the probability of Mercury’s deviating from the normal track, so the deflected

radian in one degree of freedom of each circle around the sun is c r . However among ,
the three degrees of freedom, no one is superior than the others, namely, they are statistically
3 × 2πGM
independent, so there must be c2r .To precisely calculate the procession of Mercury’s

perihelion, small amount like c r should be included. c r is actually the irreversible
part, so the procession is irreversible, namely, the part of entropy production, which is also the
reason why procession is continuously cumulative.

Vertical field is perpendicular to the direction of propagation r and changes along with 1/r. It
depends on the acceleration of aster in a simple and direct form. Without acceleration, there is
no such vertical field. Obviously, with the increase of spatial distance, the longitudinal field
g// changing with 1 / r 2 disappears, and only vertical field is left.
It is just because Newton law of gravitation cannot explain the expansion acceleration of
the universe; then people assume that there exists dark matter in addition to visible matter.
When Newtonian mechanics is corrected, and gravitational field is taken as the result of
57
quantum redshift, the hypothesis of existence of dark matter becomes needless.
Actually, vertical field is the result of quantum redshift, and the redshift is an immediate
inference of the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, redshift is the initial
causation of generation of gravitational force. The so-called cosmic expansion is based on the
theory of Doppler redshift. It indicates that the astral accelerated motion is the cause, and the
redshift is the result. In the absence of external force, objects accelerate automatically. This is
a process of entropy reduction, and it doesn’t accord with the second law of thermodynamics.
Therefore, we believe that it seems a little far-fetched to infer the existence of Doppler motion
from quantum redshift, then arrive at the cosmic expansion, and consequently reach a
conclusion of the existence assumption of dark energy.

New Exploration for the Enigma of Paradox in Special Relativity
Dong Jingfeng
(Scientific and Technology Bureau in Rushi County, Henan Province, 472200, China)
Abstract : By the analysis of twin paradox, it is pointed out that the constriction of space-
time is the only effect of measurement and all paradox do not exist actually. The essence of
special relativity is a number method forways to provide math and physical idea. Experiments
to verify special relativity have verified general relativity.
Keywords: Twin paradox, Time Standard, Measurement effect
Since the establishing special relativity by Einstein in 1905, a century has passed. So
many experiments show that the theory is correct in very high precision. Special relativity has
been used widely and become one of the most important foundations of modern physics. But
meanwhile, so many paradoxes appears in the theory just as twin paradox, submarine
paradox, slide paradox soft rope paradox, right-angle level paradox, the paradox of strict
length limit, the paradox of seeing form of moving body and stress constriction of length and
so on. Theses paradox caused furious argument and much diverge. The understanding for
space-time constriction is very different: it is untrue, it is unphysical and true, it is apparent,
mathematical, it is seeing effect, it is decided by measurement, it is a relative result of
simultaneity and so on. Many beginners are puzzled by the space-time concepts of relativity
and the relativity of simultaneity. It is necessary for us to make clear the essence of special
relativity to eliminate theses paradox.
time T1 = t1 =0, and the airship moved along + X axis in speed u . When A is 20 years old, the
airship returns along the same way. When airship arrived original place, according to
Einstein’s theory and without considering the change of speed from + u to − u , A found that
the recorded time of B clock was less and B is young than A . But B found that the recorded
59
time of A clock was less and A is younger than B . This is so-called twin paradox. The real
situation would be that A clock was less and A is younger than B . This conclusion is
recognized now (see document [1], page 60 ).
As shown in Document [2], 77 ~78, many scholars try to explain twin paradox
recurring to space-time diagram now. But they forget the basic and key conclusion which can
be considered correct, that is there are different time standard on different reference frame.
Because when airship swerved to return to the earth, its speeds and directions were different
before and after swerved. So the time’s reading of A clock are different before and after
swerved. Because of neglecting the difference of speed, the adherent of Einstein calculate the
new time standard in the swerved airship (according to special relativity, airship should be
considered as two different inertial reference system with different speed before and after
airship swerved.), so the result is certainly wrong.
There are some scholars who try to explain twin paradox by the atomic clock traveling
around the earth, the disk circumrotates and the µ meson fly to explain twin paradox (see
~
Document [1]61 88pages). This is also wrong. So called twin paradox is calculated by time
concept of inertial reference frame, so it is only suitable to inertial system. But the
experiments just as atomic clock traveling around the earth are not on inertial system, so these
experiments cannot verified twin paradox.
For this problem, some scholars consider that the orbit can be divided into infinite
limited sect and each sect can be considered as inertial system, though the process of airship
traveling around the earth is not inertial. Then by the integral of time quantum, we can still
60
obtain twin paradox (see Document [2], page 73 ~78, Document [1], page 61~88). This idea
is also wrong, for the result of integral only represent the time sum of each sect of inertial
processes. It does not represent the change of time standard caused by the change of speed
from an inertial system into another inertial system. So the result of integral is incorrect, (the
mistake is the same with ).Some scholars consider that the relativity of time originates from
the differences of time’s direction. The time observed in the static reference frame is the
time’s projection of moving reference frame down to the static reference frame. So the person
who travels by airship would be older for his time forms a curve. Meanwhile, the person who
is at rest on the earth would be younger, for his time is linear. But this opinion is untrue. In
fact, in light of Person A, his time is a linear, but in light of B, his time is curved.

different under different condition (i.e., the moving state of reference frame which observer
located). It indicates a philosophic principle: condition decides law and measure results.
So the paradoxes of special relativity do not exist. Taken the submarine paradox as an
example, we first suppose that a submarine submerged keeps balance without raising or
sinking in sea water. Then suppose that the submarine moves in a speed nearing light’s speed.
Because the length would contract in the direction of motion, according to observers who are
at rest on the surface of sea, the density of submarine would become great so that the
submarine would sink. But according to the sailors who are in submarine, the sea water
moves back off, and the density of sea water becomes great with greater buoyancy, so that
submarine would be floated up. According to special relativity, two viewpoints are alright.
What would be for submarine, sinking or floating? By our viewpoint, it is easy to decide. The
contraction of sea water is only a measurement effect caused by observers in different
reference frames. But there are constrictions or both submarine and sea water. The paradox of
submarine does not exist actually.
So we can say that the essence of special relativity is only a method of mathematics. It
exposures the connection of space and time and provides mathematic method and physical
idea for general relativity.
5Conclusion
As we known that the effects of “ruler becoming short and clock becoming slow” in
special relativity are caused by the change of observation condition. They have nothing to do
with practical forms of observed objects. In other word, the practical forms do not changed
under different conditions of observation. The “reality” of special relativity stays in the level
of information, not in the ontological level. So many persons who discuss special relativity
confuse the reality of the two levels. They consider the original explain of Einstein about
“ruler becoming short and clock becoming slow”as a evidence to deny the reality of special
relativity, or demote it as “explaining relativity using traditional idea”. In fact, most
explanation about twin paradox, submarine paradox and so no are wrong. As long as
considering “ruler becoming short and clock becoming slow” as measurement effects, all
paradox would not appear.
Therefore, we cannot use special relativity to explain the experiments of atomic clock
travel around the earth, µ meson decay and mass increase, for these physical phenomena
represent the real change of objects which move in high speed. They are different from the
observation effect of special relativity. We should use general relativity to explain them. The
author thinks that there is a faultage between special relativity and general relativity. The
theory existing in this faultage can explain these experiments simply and clearly without
introducing any logical paradox. So the author hope that scholars are interesting in this
problem and do further research. The influence of frame’s recti lineal and uniform motion on
space-time structure is different from that of acceleration motion. Special relativity is only
suitable for the reference frame which is in uniform motion. As soon as it oversteps this
extent, special relativity would lose effect. Different from special relativity, general relativity
is suitable to non-inertial motion to explain the physical events when reference frame does
acceleration motion or in gravity fields. There is no any logical contraction and paradox to use
general relativity to explain these experiments. The author hopes other scholar who are
interesting in these problems to do further research.

Abstract: The special relativity is based on the principle of constant speed of light and the
assumption that the inertial systems are all “Equality (Equal Right)”. However, through
comparing the two Lorentz transformations located at different regions, the author finds that
for two inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, if two clocks
are synchronous in one system, they are also synchronous looked from another system; this
means that the relative character of simultaneity is not the ultimate source of temporal and
spatial transformation. Thus we know that it is wrong to introduce the one-way spreading
light signals along with all directions in space into transformation. Based on this the further
analysis proposes that, all the above mentioned problems can be solved only in the way that
theoretically introducing the vacuum matter, vacuum energy, as well as the two-way
spreading vacuum matter waves along with any directions in space. According to an
important characteristic of the Lorentz transformation, namely the continuous transformations
will be equivalent to one certain transformation, the author deeply considers the “Equality” of
inertial systems and concludes that, the principle of relativity and the “Equality” of inertial
systems are two entirely different things, the principle of relativity is correct, but the
“Equality” is wrong. Based on the above discussions, the author also finds many problems
and errors in the special relativity (for details see the text of this paper). On this basis, the
author already established “The Matter Space-time Theory of Relativity” (“Matter Theory”
for short). “Matter Theory” is based on the matter space only. The two principles and other
assumptions are no longer needed. “Matter Theory” overcomes almost all the problems and
errors in special relativity, explains all the contents that can be explained by special relativity,
and presents many new predictions, such as the conclusions of “Matter Theory” show that not
only the moving clock will slow down, but also all the inertial systems running the relative
uniform speed translational motion will have the characteristics of multi-level of space-time.
Besides this paper, other results can be found in reference [1].

y B1 , z B1 , t B1 , and ΣB2 (x B2 , yB 2 , z B 2 , t B 2 ).
In order to simplify the discussion, further provisions are as follows:
1) The x coordinate axis in the coordinate system ΣB is also the x axis in ΣA, and they
have the same direction;
2) The movement of ΣB is relative to ΣA along the positive directionof the common x
axis (in order to prove that the transformation rule is not restricted by the direction, we should
67
also discuss the case that ΣB is relative to ΣA along the negative direction of the common x
axis, but the process and result are the same to the case of positive direction, therefore we will
not discuss it);
3) In ΣA and ΣB, for all the cases, the coordinates y and z are all equal to zero;
4) Supposing that as t A = t B = 0 for the time in ΣA and time in ΣB, o A is superposed on
t A = t A1 = t A 2 = 0 and tB = t B1 = t B 2 = 0 ).
Therefore at the time t A1 in ΣA1, the Lorentz transformation between ΣA1 and ΣB1 is as
follows:
xB1 = γ ( x A1 − vt A1 ) (1.1-1)
vxA1
t B1 = γ (t A1 − ) (1.1-2)
c2
At the time t A2 in ΣA2, the Lorentz transformation between ΣA2 and ΣB2 is as follows:
xB 2 = γ ( x A 2 − vt A 2 ) (1.1-3)
vx A2
t B 2 = γ (t A 2 − ) (1.1-4)
c2
Supposing that at the time t A in ΣA, the time in ΣA1 is t A1 , and the time in ΣA2 is t A2 .
Because for the same inertial system, the clocks are synchronous, therefore we have:
t A = t A1 = t A 2 .
For the reason that the light signal is also assumed arbitrarily, it is not restricted by the
time and region. Therefore, when we assume that one light signal is radiated from the origin
o A , we can also assume that at this time other two light signals are radiated from o A1 and
o A 2 respectively, and at the time t A in ΣA we have: xA = xA1 = xA2 = ctA = ctA1 = ctA2 .
Substituting xA1 = xA2 , tA1 = tA2 into Eq. (1.1-3) and Eq. (1.1-4), we can get
xB 2 = γ ( x A1 − vt A1 ) (1.1-5)
vxA1
t B 2 = γ (t A1 − ) (1.1-6)
c2
68
To compare Eq. (1.1-1) with Eq. (1.1-5), and compare Eq. (1.1-2) with Eq. (1.1-6), we
can get
xB1 = γ ( x A 2 − vt A 2 ) (1.1-8)
vxA2
t B1 = γ (t A2 − ) (1.1-9)
c2
For the reason that xB1 and xB 2 are located at the different regions of ΣB, therefore the
clocks used to measure t B1 and t B 2 are also located at different regions. For the same inertial
system the clocks are synchronous, therefore the two clocks are synchronous in ΣB. To
compare Eq. (1.1-2) with Eq. (1.1-6), we know that, observing from ΣA, the clock used to
measure t B1 and the one to measure t B 2 are also synchronous, then we can get the following
conclusions:
1) For two inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, if the
clocks are synchronous in one system, observing from another system they are still
synchronous.
2) The relative character of simultaneity is not the ultimate source of the rule of temporal
and spatial transformation. Namely, the relative character of simultaneity serves no useful
purpose to the rule of temporal and spatial transformation.
3) It is wrong to introduce the one-way spreading light signals along with all directions
into transformation equation, and the relative character of simultaneity is nothing but the
apparent phenomenon appeared by introducing the one-way spreading light signal into the
equation.
4) Although the rates of the clocks in two systems running the relative uniform speed
translational motion may be different, the ratio of the rates of the clocks in two systems is
absolute. Therefore, the temporal and spatial transformation will not be reversible.
5) All the temporal and spatial transformations are not originated from the relative motion
of physical system.
6) Although the principle of relativity is correct, while the assumption that the inertial
systems are all “Equality (Equal Right)” is wrong.
We would like to emphasize several points in the above discussion, because they decide
the main features of the transformation rules.
times in ΣA, ΣB. This indicates that the temporal and spatial transformation rules and their
69
actions are not restricted by time, they are existed eternally, and affect the rules of physical
state changes in the physical system.
2) In ΣA the origins of coordinates of ΣA1, ΣA2 are arbitrary non-superposed space points in
ΣA; in ΣB the origins of coordinates of ΣB1, ΣB2 are arbitrary non-superposed space points in
ΣB. Therefore the consistencies of above transformation rules (such as the consistencies of Eq.
(1.1-1), Eq. (1.1-2) and Eq. (1.1-5), Eq. (1.1-6)) show that the transformation rules are not
restricted by the spatial locations (namely the coordinate’s locations).
The more in-depth discussion on this content will present the more definite conclusions
as follows.
The temporal and spatial transformations between two systems running the relative
uniform speed translational motion exactly are the transformations between arbitrary space
points in one system and arbitrary space points in another system.
Our discussions are carried out in the uniform isotropic space, therefore
xA1 , xA2 , xB1 , xB2 and ( xA1 − vtA1 ) , ( xA2 − vtA2 ) can be interpreted as the set of points,
and based on this we can get the above conclusions by means of brief discussion.
3) In the above discussion we assume that the movement of ΣB is running along with the
positive direction of the common x axis. If we assume that the movement of ΣB is running
along with the negative direction of the common x axis, or changing the direction of x axis
and the direction of signal propagation, we can get the same results as above conclusions.
This means that the transformation rules are not restricted by direction.
In the above discussion, for the transformation equation, we deny the action of light
signals (one-way spreading along with all directions in space), but we do not deny the status
and action of c in the transformation equation. This requires us to give c a new physical
content.
In the transformation, if the action of c is irreplaceable, then from the basic
characteristics of the transformation roles we can get:
1) The action of c must not be restricted by time, and not restricted by spatial position
and direction; namely the actions of c are existed at anywhere and anytime, and effected on
the transformation rules eternally. This action of c fully explains its characteristics of matter
space. That means that c is the energy wave of matter space, and we name this wave the
vacuum matter wave.
2) In order to ensure the transformation rules do not appear the problems of the relative
character of simultaneity, and ensure the transformation rules are not restricted by directions,
the spreading of vacuum matter wave along with all directions in space must be two-way.
3) In order to ensure the relativistic effects of transformation rules (such as the rule of
moving clock slows down), the vacuum matter wave’s propagation velocity must be limited.
4) In order to ensure the transformation rules are always identical, and not restricted by
time and space (namely all the transformations between any space point in one system and
70
any space point in another system are identical), the spreading rates of vacuum matter waves
must be always identical at anywhere and anytime, and in the inertial systems running the
relative uniform speed translational motion, the vacuum matter waves’ propagation velocities
must be invariable (measured by each system’s clock and measuring ruler).
1.2 Theoretical foundation of vacuum matter, vacuum energy and vacuum matter wave
Based on the above discussions we can get the basic characteristics of matter space:
1) In vacuum the mass points with energy are uniformly distributed. The mass point’s
energy is spreading outward in the form of spherical wave. Therefore, each mass point not
only is spreading energy outward, but also receiving energy. This determines that the wave is
two-way spreading along with any direction in space. These matter, energy and energy wave
are named vacuum matter, vacuum energy and vacuum matter wave by us.
2) The vacuum matter waves are existed at anywhere and anytime; and spreading with
the limited invariable rate at anywhere and anytime. The spreading rate of vacuum matter
wave is indicated as cm .
3) The spreading rates of vacuum matter waves in the inertial systems running the
relative uniform speed translational motion are all equal to cm (measured by each system’s
[1]
It should be noted that “The Matter Space-time Theory of Relativity” (“Matter
Theory” for short) is based on the matter space and vacuum matter wave, the two principles
and other assumptions are no longer needed.

contents: 1) The observer and the inertial system at which the observer is located; 2) The
observation object (or experiment object).
The principle of relativity does not tell us that, whether or not all the physical objects
running the uniform speed translational motion relative to a certain inertial system will obey
the laws of physics established in this inertial system (for all the inertial systems the laws are
identical in the mathematical form).It also does not tell us that, in all the inertial systems
running the uniform speed translational motion relative to a certain physical object, whether
or not all the observing results about this physical object will obey the laws of physics
established in each inertial system (for all the inertial systems the laws are identical in the
mathematical form).
The following discussions will show that, for specific physical object, there are two
types of different inertial systems. The first one can make the correct observation and
description about the physical state changing rule of this physical object, while the second
cannot. In order to distinguish these two types of inertial systems, the first one is called the
inertial reference system of this physical system (in the past, the inertial system and the
inertial reference system are not distinguished).
After the deep discussion on the transformation between the two inertial systems running
the relative uniform speed translational motion, we can get:
1) In all the inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, the
laws of physics with identical mathematical form are all established between the physical
system and its inertial reference system;
2) For the two inertial systems ΣA and ΣB, running the relative uniform speed
translational motion, if ΣA is the inertial reference system of ΣB, definitely ΣB is not the
inertial reference system of ΣA.
These two sections are the application conditions of the principle of relativity.
The application conditions of the principle of relativity are not the theoretical foundation,
but they are the prerequisite for establishing the theory, before the establishment of theory, we
must stress that the theory should be consistent with the application conditions of the
principle of relativity, otherwise the theory will not be valuable.
We will make the concrete argument below.
v2 > v , the speed of Σ
1 C relative to ΣB is w . For the sake of convenient, we make the
following provisions:
1) Supposing that the three x axes of ΣA, ΣB and ΣC are superposed.
72
2) ΣB and ΣC are moving along with the positive direction of the x axis of ΣA.
From the Lorentz transformation we can get:
The transformation equations between ΣA and ΣB are as follows

xB = γ ( x A − v1t A ) 2-1 t B = γ (t A −

The inverse transformation equations are as follows
Supposing that Eq. (2-1), (2-2), (2-5), (2-6), (2-9), (2-10) are all correct.
Substituting Eq. (2-1) and Eq. (2-2) into Eq. (2-9), we can get

In order to guarantee Eq. (2-23) is correct, only in the case that w = 0 , however, from
the initial assuming we know that w ≠ 0 , so Eq. (2-23) is not correct. Eq. (2-23) is not correct
means that either Eq. (2-17) is not correct, or Eq. (2-22) is not correct, and both may be not
correct. Eq. (2-17) is derived by comparing Eq. (2-16) with Eq. (2-5), while Eq. (2-5) is from
the first set of transformation equation, we already assume that the first set of transformation
equation should be correct, so Eq. (2-5) is correct. Eq. (2-16) is derived by both of Eq. (2-14)
and Eq. (2-15), both of Eq. (2-14) and Eq. (2-15) are derived by three of Eq. (2-1), Eq. (2-2),
and Eq. (2-9). Eq. (2-1), Eq. (2-2) and Eq. (2-9) are from the first set of transformation
equation. We already assume that the first set of transformation equation should be correct, so
Eq. (2-1), Eq. (2-2) and Eq. (2-9) are correct, therefore Eq. (2-16) is correct. This means that
Eq. (2-17) is correct.
From the above discussion we know that, Eq. (2-23) is not correct only means that Eq.
(2-22) is not correct. While Eq.(2-22) is derived by comparing Eq.(2-21) with Eq.(2-1),
however, from the initial assuming we know that Eq.(2-1) is correct, so Eq.(2-22) is not
correct only means that Eq.(2-21) is not correct, Eq.(2-21) is derived by both of Eq.(2-20) and
Eq.(2-19), both of Eq.(2-20) and Eq.(2-19) are derived by three of Eq.(2-5), Eq.(2-6) and
Eq.(2-11), we already assume that both of Eq.(2-5) and Eq.(2-6) are correct, so Eq.(2-21) is
not correct only means that Eq.(2-11) is not correct.
From the results of above discussion we can get the conclusions as follows.
In the case that supposing that the first set of Lorentz transformation equations Eqs. (2-
1), (2-2), (2-5), (2-6), (2-9), (2-10) are all correct, then the inverse transformation equations
75
Eq. (2-11) and Eq. (2-12) between ΣB and ΣC will not be correct. While ΣB and ΣC are two
arbitrary inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, so the
above results show that, between the two inertial systems running the relative uniform speed
translational motion, if one set of Lorentz transformation equations are correct, then another
set of transformation equations will not be correct. This conclusion has proven that for two
arbitrary inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, they cannot
be “Equality (Equal Right)”.This conclusion is derived in the case that supposing that the first
set of Lorentz transformation equations Eqs. (2-1), (2-2), (2-5), (2-6), (2-9), (2-10) are all
correct, if they are really correct, then the above conclusion must be correct. However the
purpose of our discussion is to prove that for two arbitrary inertial systems running the
relative uniform speed translational motion, they cannot be “Equality (Equal Right)”. If that is
really true, then the Lorentz transformations cannot be mutually inverse. This means that in
the Lorentz transformation equations, only one set of transformation equation are correct. But
before the new theory is established, for the two sets of transformation equation (including the
inverse transformation equation), we don't know which one is correct. Therefore, we would
also like to assume that another set of Lorentz transformation (inverse transformation) are
correct, and use this set of transformation to discuss the problem of inertial systems’ “Equality
(Equal Right)”. If this discussion gives the same result as given in the previous conclusion, it
will be proven that regardless of which set of transformation equation are correct, the
conclusions are the same, namely: In the two sets of Lorentz transformation equations, if one
set are correct, the another set must not be correct. So, for two arbitrary inertial systems
running the relative uniform speed translational motion, they cannot be “Equality (Equal
Right)”.
Supposing that the inverse transformation equations Eqs. (2-3), (2-4), (2-7), (2-8), (2-
11), (2-12) are correct, substituting Eq. (2-11) and Eq. (2-12) into Eq. (2-3), it gives

In order to guarantee Eq. (2-32) is correct, only in the case that w = 0 , however, from

77
by Eq. (2-31) and Eq.(2-27), Eq. (2-32) is not correct means that either Eq. (2-31) is not
correct, or Eq. (2-27) is not correct, and both may be not correct. Eq.(2-27) is derived by
comparing Eq.(2-26) with Eq.(2-7), while Eq.(2-26) is derived by Eqs. (2-11), (2-12), (2-3),
Eqs. (2-11), (2-12), (2-3), (2-7) are all inverse transformation equations, we already assume
that the inverse transformation equations should be correct, so Eqs. (2-11), (2-12), (2-3), (2-7)
are all correct. Therefore Eq.(2-27) is correct. Hence Eq.(2-32) is not correctonly means that
Eq.(2-31) is not correct. While Eq.(2-31) is derived by Eq.(2-3) and Eq.(2-30), Eq.(2-3) is the
inverse transformation equation, we already assume that the inverse transformation equations
should be correct, so Eq.(2-3) is correct. Hence Eq.(2-31) is not correct means that Eq.(2-30)
is not correct. While Eq.(2-30) is derived by Eq.(2-7), Eq.(2-9) and Eq.(2-10), while Eq.(2-7)
is the inverse transformation equation, we already assume that Eq.(2-7) is correct, so Eq.(2-
30) is not correct only means that Eq.(2-9) and Eq.(2-10) are not correct.
The results of above discussion show that, between ΣB and ΣC, if Eq.(2-11) and Eq.(2-12)
are correct, then Eq.(2-9) and Eq.(2-10) will not be correct. The results of discussion show
again that in the two sets of Lorentz transformation equations, if one set are correct, the
another set must not be correct.
Synthesizing all the above discussions we can get the conclusions as follows:
1) Between arbitrary two inertial systems running the relative uniform speed
translational motion, the transformation equations cannot be mutually inverse.
2) For two arbitrary inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational
motion, they cannot be “Equality (Equal Right)”.
If ΣA and ΣB are two inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational
motion, from the principle of relativity we know that, in both of ΣA and ΣB, the laws of
physics with the same mathematical form can be established. However, the above two
conclusions tell us that, if the temporal and spatial changing rules established in ΣB will agree
with the transformation equation established in ΣA, then the temporal and spatial changing
rules established in ΣA will not agree with the transformation equation established in ΣB. If the
physical state changing rules of a physical system agree with the laws of physics established
in a certain inertial system, then we say that this inertial system is the physical system's
inertial reference system. (In the past, many people do not know the application conditions of
the principle of relativity, so the inertial system and the inertial reference system are not
distinguished.)
According to the above discussion we can induce as follows:
1) In all the inertial systems running the relative uniform speed translational motion, the
laws of physics with identical mathematical form are all established between the physical
system and its inertial reference system;
78
2) For the two inertial systems ΣA and ΣB, running the relative uniform speed
translational motion, if ΣA is the inertial reference system of ΣB, definitely ΣB is not the
inertial reference system of ΣA.
These two sections are the application conditions of the principle of relativity.
The application conditions of the principle of relativity are not the theoretical foundation,
but they are the prerequisite for establishing the theory, before the establishment of theory, we
must stress that the theory should be consistent with the application conditions of the
principle of relativity, otherwise the theory will not be valuable.
According to the above conclusions we can get the following deduces:
1) The temporal and spatial transformations are not from the relative motion of the
physical system, but from the motion of the physical system relative to its inertial reference
system.
2) The so-called matter space is also the inertial reference system space.
3) The temporal and spatial transformation rules have nothing to do with the relative
character of simultaneity.
4) It is wrong to introduce the one-way spreading light signals along with all directions
in space into equation.

Shortcomings and Applicable Scopes of Special and General Theory of Relativity

Abstract: The special theory of relativity and general theory of relativity have three basic
shortcomings. First, the special and general theory of relativity respectively have two basic
principles, altogether have four basic principles in the interior of relativity, these obviously
do not conform to the truth uniqueness; Second, for the two basic principles of special
theory of relativity and the two basic principles of general theory of relativity, no one is
generally correct; Third, establishing the physical theory from the mathematics principle
instead of the physical principle. Based on these, the applicable scopes of special and
general theory of relativity are presented. Some wrong results caused by the theory of
relativity (including the Lorentz transformation) are pointed out, such as the problems
caused relativity is in a sad plight that the sonic speed in vacuum permanently is equal to
zero, the twin paradox that the two brothers' state of motion are quite same, and so on.
Moreover, in this paper not only solving the problem of a body’s restrained motion in
gravitational field such as a small ball rolls along an incline that cannot be solved by
relativity, but also with the help of relativity deriving the improved Newton’s universal
gravitation formula that gives the same results as given by general relativity for the problem
of Mercury’s advance of perihelion and the problem of gravitational defection of a photon
orbit around the sun. This paper proposes that taking law (principle) of conservation of
energy as the interdisciplinary grand unified theory to unified process all the problems
related to energy in physics, astronomy, mechanics, chemistry, biology, medicine,
engineering and so on; taking the unified variational principle for quantization in dynamic
Smarandache multi-space and the fractal method as the interdisciplinary grand unified
method; and taking the “science of conservation of energy” to replace or partially replace
the theory of relativity.
Keywords:Special and general theory of relativity, shortcomings, applicable scope, science
of conservation of energy
Introduction
People generally believe that Einstein is the greatest scientist in the 20th century, and his
achievement is only next to Newton.
At the same time, the scientific circles generally thought the theory of relativity is one of
the greatest scientific achievements in the 20th century.
81
But on the other hand, since the 1920s, Einstein and the theory of relativity have been
gradually held in both hands to the god world.
Enter into the 21st century, the situation has changed, Einstein and the theory of relativity
already start to go down the god world.
The Chinese renowned scientist Academician Song Jian boldly questions Einstein, and
calls the young scientists dare to innovate. He read out the science report entitled
“Astronautics, Astronavigation and Light Barrier” in the 242nd Xiangshan conference.
Pointed out that, 100 years ago, Einstein, in his paper about special relativity that shocked the
scientific circles, proposed a famous saying, it is impossible to exist any movement to travel
faster than the speed of light. The present scientific circles name this phenomenon “light
barrier”. However, this “extrapolation” certainly hasn’t been proven by any direct experiment.
Many men of insight already pointed out that, taking the research and challenge to the
theory of relativity as the turning point, will have the possibility to lead more scientists to
occupy the more and more scientific peaks gradually.
As we analyze the theory of relativity, besides the positive, remorseless, careful and
valuable consideration, also emphasize and give prominence to the aspects of philosophy and
critique. All of these provide the beneficial imagination space for surmounting Einstein and
the theory of relativity. The people are not difficult to understand that, from the angle of
natural sciences theory to criticize the theory of relativity, is an extremely difficult matter, this
paper truly involves many contents about this aspect, however the effects will wait for the
reader to comment; Whereas, from the angle of philosophy to challenge and criticize the
theory of relativity, will have the possibility to let the reader easy to understand, and may
extrapolate, positively join the beneficial exploration.
The rivers and mountains breed the talent person from generation to generation. Einstein
and the theory of relativity will be surpassed; this is the matter of sooner or later.
Recently, some scientists pointed out, the theory of relativity had not considered
temperature factor, this is a big flaw. While considering the temperature factor, the theory of
relativity inevitably must be rebuilt.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the shortcomings and applicable scopes of special
and general theory of relativity
2 Contradictions between the basic principles of special and general theory of relativity
Firstly we discuss the contradictions between the two basic principles of special theory
of relativity.
The special principle of relativity states that physical laws should be the same in all
inertial reference frames.
The principle of constant speed of lightstates thatlight is propagated in empty space in
straight lines with a velocity c= 300,000 km/s.
Einstein firstly noted the apparent incompatibility of the law of propagation of light with
the principle of relativity. It can be stated briefly as follows [1].
As such a system let us again choose our embankment. If a ray of light be sent along the
embankment, the tip of the ray will be transmitted with the velocity c relative to the
embankment. Now let us suppose that our railway carriage is again traveling along the
railway lines with the velocity v, and that its direction is the same as that of the ray of light.
Let us inquire about the velocity of propagation of the ray of light relative to the carriage, w is
the required velocity of light with respect to the carriage, and we have
83
w = c−v.
The velocity of propagation of a ray of light relative to the carriage thus comes cut
smaller than c.
But this result comes into conflict with the principle of relativity. For, like every other
general law of nature, the law of the transmission of light in vacuum must, according to the
principle of relativity, is the same for the railway carriage as reference body as when the rails
are the body of reference.
For this apparent incompatibility, Einstein proposed two kinds of choices: (1) abandon
either the principle of relativity or the law of the propagation of light in vacuum; (2)
systematically holding fast to both these laws a logically rigid theory could be arrived at.
This theory has been called the special theory of relativity, which was established by
Einstein according to the second choice.
Now we must discuss the question that, whether or not the special theory of relativity
can truly solve the contradiction between the law of propagation of light and the special
principle of relativity. Our answer is that it cannot.
Considering all the possible situations, the people cannot help to ask: As deriving the
Lorentz transformation, why only the principle of invariance of light speed was used? Why
didn't consider the principle of invariance of other speed?
Obviously, for the principle of invariance of other speed, combining with the special
theory of relativity, similarly may obtain other one kind of transformation relations. Thus
inevitably appears the irreconcilable contradiction.
Then, whether or not the principle of invariance of other speed is existed? The answer is
affirmative. For example, in all the reference frames at the vacuum state, the sound
propagation velocity is zero.
In addition, we also may find many examples that the conclusions of special theory of
relativity (including the Lorentz transformation) bring on the wrong results, see below.
Therefore, the special theory of relativity doesn’t successfully solve the contradiction
between the law of propagation of light and the special principle of relativity.
Whether has the other way to successfully solve this contradictory? The answer is
affirmative. For the apparent incompatibility of the law of propagation of light with the
principle of relativity, besides the two kind of choices proposed by Einstein, still may
simultaneously give up the special principle of relativity and the law of propagation of light in
vacuum, and choose another principle or law (for example, the law of conservation of energy)
as the only truth, to establish the new physical system. This choice may be considered as a
correct way to surmount or replace the theory of relativity. Certainly, it is very difficult to
reach this achievement.
Secondly we discuss the contradictions between the two basic principles of general
theory of relativity.
Einstein stated that, The Equality of Inertial and Gravitational Mass as an Argument for
84
the General Postulate of Relativity. Its main content is as follows[1].
We imagine a large portion of empty space, as reference body let us imagine a spacious
chest resembling a room with an observer inside who is equipped with apparatus. Gravitation
,
naturally does not exist for this observer. To the middle of the lid of the chest is fixed
externally a hook with rope attached, and now a “being” begins pulling at this with a constant
force. The chest together with the observer then begin to move “upwards” with a uniformly
accelerated motion. He is then standing in the chest in exactly the same way as anyone stands
in a room of a home on our earth. If he releases a body which he previously had in his land,
the body will approach the floor of the chest with an accelerated relative motion. Relying on
his knowledge of the gravitational field, the man in the chest will thus come to the conclusion
that he and the chest are in a gravitational field which is constant with regard to time. Of
course he will be puzzled for a moment as to why the chest does not fall in this gravitational
field. Just then, however, he discovers the hook in the middle of the lid of the chest and the
rope which is attached to it, and he consequently comes to the conclusion that the chest is
suspended at rest in the gravitational field.
Guided by this example, Einstein attempted to point out that, our extension of the
principle of relativity implies the necessity of the law of the equality of inertial and
gravitational mass.
Here Einstein attempted to explain that the two basic principles of general theory of
relativity (the principle of equivalence and the principle of general covariance) do not have
contradictory. But this endeavor is a futile effort.
Einstein said that, our extension of the principle of relativity implies the necessity of the
law of the equality of inertial and gravitational mass.
According to this viewpoint, how to process the temperature mass and electromagnetic
mass, friction mass and so on? Whether or not our extension of the principle of relativity
implies the necessity of the law of the equality of the three of temperature, inertial and
gravitational mass?
If the three masses are not equal, then between “the principle of equivalence” (at present
it should be the equality of the three of temperature, inertial and gravitational mass) and the
principle of relativity (the principle of general covariance) the contradiction is appeared.
If the three masses are equal, then it is a wrong conclusion. Because as the object
temperatures are different, it will contain the different thermal energy. According to the
special theory of relativity, the energy may be translated into mass, thus for the same object,
when its temperatures are different, its masses are different. But the reason for this mistake is
the supposition that the two basic principles of general theory of relativity (the principle of
equivalence and the principle of general covariance) do not have contradictory. Therefore this
supposition is wrong.
85
It should be noted that, because the temperature, inertial and gravitational mass are not
equal, in passing we find another example that between the special theory of relativity and the
general theory of relativity the contradictory is appeared.

The fractal distribution is a straight line only in the double logarithmic coordinates.
Therefore, if some law of nature conforms to the fractal distribution rule, then the law that
“the change of this natural phenomenon conforms to the linear rule” is only correct in the
double logarithmic coordinates.
88
For the problems of the motion of the perihelion of Mercury, deflection of light by a
gravitational field, displacement of spectral lines towards the red and so on, these two
principles are correct simultaneously.
Similarly, in special case, even if these two principles are correct simultaneously, it also
possibly causes the wrong result.
transformed into a law of exactly the same form when, instead of the space-time variables x,
y, z, t of the original coordinate system K, we introduce new space-time variables x', y', z', t'
of a coordinate system K'. In this connection the relation between the ordinary and the
accented magnitudes is given by the Lorentz transformation. Or in brief: General laws of
nature are covariant with respect to Lorentz transformations. This is a definite mathematical
condition that the theory of relativity demands of a natural law, and in virtue of this, the
theory becomes a valuable heuristic aid in the search for general laws of nature.
This speech extremely and clearly indicated the viewpoint that to command physics with
mathematics, instead of command mathematics with physics. This really is Einstein’s biggest
misleading to the physics.
Every general law or principle of physics must automatically satisfy the covariance in
some significance (but it is not the covariance in the significance of theory of relativity), or it
is correct for all coordinate systems (but it doesn’t have the completely same forms). For
example, the law of conservation of energy may automatically satisfy the covariance in some
significance, namely it is correct for all coordinate systems. But it doesn’t have the
completely same forms, for different coordinate systems, the sizes of conservation are
different.
Therefore, it completely is unnecessary to propose the explicit mathematical condition to
the physical law in advance. The physical theory should be established from the physical
principle.
It should be noted that, Newton and Einstein formed a sharp contrast. As well-known,
Newton was the greatest mathematician, while Einstein wasn’t a mathematician. But as
establishing the physical theory, Newton simply didn’t apply the profound mathematical tool.
The Newton’s first law and third law nearly didn’t apply mathematics. The second law only
applied the multiplication operation. The law of universal gravitation also only applied the
multiplication, division and square operation. Newton’s rich and profound mathematical
knowledge only was applied to realize the utilization of the simple and important physical
laws.

First example, suppose we have two reference systems at the vacuum state and their
relative speed isn’t equal to zero, there is an alarm clock in a reference system, because it is at
the vacuum state, the sound propagation speed is equal to zero. According to the Lorentz
transformation, in the second reference system the sound propagation speed will not be equal
to zero. This obviously is wrong.
Second example, from the Lorentz transformation expression we may see that, the speed
of light is the limit of speed. Once appear the speed faster than light, the Lorentz
transformation either is not correct, or will cause the wrong conclusion.
But we already said in front, if on a certain point to project two lights along the opposite
direction at the same time, then the speed for these two lights to be mutually far away is two
times of speed of light. In other words, in this case, the Lorentz transformation will obtain the
speed for these two lights to be mutually far away is still equal to the speed of light. That is
wrong.
The Lorentz transformation causes the wrong conclusions that certainly are not limited
in these two examples, the reader may try to propose other examples.
7 Other mistakes caused by theory of relativity and some questions cannot be solved by
theory of relativity
The phenomena of “rods look shorter and clocks look slower” derived by theory of
relativity can be stated as follows.
The rigid rod is shorter when in motion in the direction of its length than when at rest,
and the more quickly it is moving, the shorter is the rod.
As a consequence of its motion the clock goes more slowly than when at rest.
Now we consider the phenomenon of “clocks look slower”, the purpose is to present a
wrong conclusion derived by theory of relativity.
As well-known, the phenomenon of “clocks look slower” causes the twin paradox:
According to theory of relativity, supposing there are pair of twins, the younger brother keeps
on the Earth, the elder brother roams through the outer space as an astronaut. As the elder
brother returns to the Earth, he will be much younger than his younger brother. The twin
paradox means: Because the movement is relative, also may think the younger brother is
carrying on the space navigation, therefore the younger brother should be much younger than
the elder brother. Such two conclusions mutually conflict.
There are many explanations given by theory of relativity to this twin paradox (some of
them even use general theory of relativity to carry on the complex computation), but their
basic starting point is as follows: Two brothers' states of motion are different. Thereupon we
may make another special twin paradox that two brothers’ states of motion are quite same. If
the younger brother doesn’t keep on the Earth, but the elder brother and the younger brother
all ride their respective high speed airships, facing the completely opposite directions to
navigate from the identical time and the identical site with the same speed along a straight
90
line, after a quite long period they begin to decelerate simultaneously until static, then they
turn around to navigate again along the same straight line with the manner of front to front,
finally simultaneously return to the starting point. From the younger brother's viewpoint that,
according to the theory of relativity, the elder brother should be much younger than the
younger brother; Similarly, from the elder brother's viewpoint that, according to the theory of
relativity, the younger brother should be much younger than the elder brother. Who is much
younger to the end?
With the theory of relativity, how to explain this special twin paradox that two brothers’
states of motion are quite same?
According to the kinetic energy formula of special theory of relativity, when the speed v
approaches speed of light c, the kinetic energy approaches infinity; when the speed v is
greater than speed of light c, the kinetic energy is an imaginary number. But, it already
pointed out in reference [2] that there is no speed barrier in the universe. We also pointed out
that, if on a certain point to project two lights along the opposite direction at the same time,
then the speed for these two lights to be mutually far away no longer is a speed of light, but is
two times of speed of light. In this case, can we have the imaginary number kinetic energy?
We cannot. Here the wrong result is derived by the kinetic energy formula of special theory of
relativity.
We already pointed out that, the two basic principles of special theory of relativity, in
certain situations, will not be correct. Therefore, all conclusions of special theory of relativity,
in certain situations also are not correct. The most famous formula in theory of relativity,
E=mc2, also is not exceptional, it needs to be revised in certain situations. Some of the revised
formula may be found in the related literature or on the internet.
Einstein believed that, there is no more common−place statement than that the world in
which we live is a four-dimensional space-time continuum.
Space is a three-dimensional continuum. By this we mean that it is possible to describe
the position of a point (at rest) by means of three numbers (coordinates) x, y, z, and that there
is an indefinite number of points in the neighborhood of this one, which may be as near as we
choose to the respective values of the coordinates x, y, z, of the first point.
Minkowski thought that the “world” is naturally four dimensional. For it is composed of
individual events, each of which is described by four numbers, namely, three space
coordinates x, y, z, and a time coordinate, the time value t.
The four-dimensional mode of consideration of the “world” is natural on the theory of
relativity, since according to this theory time is robbed of its independence.
But, in many situations, it is not enough to describe the movement of an event in space
by means of three numbers (coordinates) x, y, z. For example, for the planet movement
around the sun, it needs six coordinates (other three coordinates are those to determine the
planet rotation around x, y, z axis). In fact, in the engineering, those six coordinates have
already been used. For example, in finite element structure analysis, as well as in ship
91
movement analysis.
Now we have this question: How many coordinates are needed to describe the movement
of an event in space? Six coordinates are sufficient?
As if we may say that, the coordinate numbers to describe the movement of an event in
space should not be fixed. For different question, should have the different solution. For
example regarding certain questions, if facilitates, we may again add the temperature
coordinate, mass coordinate and so on.
In fact, at present many physical theories have already been established in higher
dimensional space. Such as the string theory and so on, they must be established in the space
higher than nine-dimension, some even in 26-dimensional space.
As for time, it also does not need to define as one-dimensional. At present, the time was
four-dimensional, three-dimensional, six-dimensional and so on already are proposed. Now
we derive one kind of three-dimensional time according to the related formula of Lorentz
transformation.
Choosing two different reference systems S and S', their coordinates are x, y, z and x',
y', z' respectively. At beginning S and S' are superposition, in system S there is a radial line
r to pass the origin of coordinates O, the angles between r and x, y, z are α,β,γ respectively.
The corresponding radial line in system S' is r'. Then the origin of coordinates O' of system
S' moves with uniform speed V along the direction of radial line r, and x', y', z' are always
paralleled with x, y, z respectively. The signs tx,ty,tzand trdenote the times in the directions
of x, y, z respectively in system S, the signs t ' x ' , t ' y ' , t ' z ' and t ' r ' denote the times in the
t x = t y = t z = tr = t (1)
For the theory of relativity, suppose system S' is transmitted along x-axis, then the time
transformation formula in Lorentz transformation reads
t' =
t − (V / c 2 ) x
(1 − V 2 / c 2 ) 1/ 2
(2)
According to this, suppose system S' is transmitted along the direction of r, then the time
transformation formula in the direction of r’ reads
t 'r ' =
t − (V / c 2 ) r
(1 − V 2 / c 2 ) 1/ 2
(3)
To project it into the directions of x', y', z', we obtain the times of t ' x ' , t ' y ' , t ' z ' along the
Thus, for a special case all the related formulas of the three-dimensional time in system
S’ have already been derived.
Now we discuss the problem of a body’s restrained motion in gravitational field such
as a small ball rolls along an incline that cannot be solved by relativity
Firstly, the variational principles established by the law of conservation of energy can
be given with least squares method (LSM).
Supposing that in a closed system the initial total energy equals W (0) ,for time t the
total energy equals W (t ) ,then according to the law of conservation of energy, it gives
W (0) = W (t ) (7)
It can be written as
RW =
W (t )
W ( 0)
−1 = 0 (8)
According to LSM, for the interval [ t1 ,t 2 ] ,we can get the following variational
principle
(9)
t2
Π = ∫ RW2 dt = min 0
t1
where, min 0 denotes the minimum value of functional Π and it should be equal to zero.
Besides the time coordinate, another one also can be used. For example, for interval
[ x1 , x 2 ], the following variational principle can be given according to the law of conservation
of energy
(10)
x2
Π = ∫ RW2 dx = min 0
x1
RW =
Q
Q'
−1 = 0 (11)
93
Substituting Eq. (11)into Eqs.(9)and(10),as Q' is the result calculated with
the law of conservation of energy, it gives the variational principle established by using the
law of conservation of energy indirectly. Otherwise, it is clear that the extent of the value of
Q accords with Q' .
Substituting the related quantities into Eq. 9 ( )or Eq.(10),the equations derived
by the condition of extreme can be written as follows
∂Π ∂Π
=
∂ai ∂k i
=0 (12)
After solving these equations, besides the original undetermined values, the improved
law of gravity, and Newton’s second law can be reached at one time. According to the value
of Π , the effect of the solution can be judged. The more close to zero of the value of Π , the
better effect of the solution.
Now we discuss an example. As shown in Fig.1, we assume that a small ball (as a mass
point) rolls along a long incline from A to B. Its initial velocity equals zero and the friction
and rotating energy are neglected.
Let circle O' denotes the Earth, M denotes its mass; m denotes the mass of the small
ball (taken as mass point P), Supposing that O’A is a plumb line, coordinate x uprights to
O’A, coordinate y uprights to coordinate x (parallel to O’A), BC uprights to O’A. The
lengths of OA, OB, BC, and AC are all equal to H, O’C equals the radius R of the Earth.
For this example, the value of v P2 which is the square of the velocity for the ball
located on point P is interested, for the sake of distinguish, denotes the value given by the
improved law of gravity and Newton’s second law as v P2 ,while denotes the value given by
the law of conservation of energy as v ' 2P ,then Eq.(10)can be written as
0

Π = ∫ ( 2 − 1) 2 dx = min 0

Now the improved law of gravity and Newton’s second law with the form of constant
dimension fractal can be written as follows
94
F =−
GMm

(14)
F = ma1+ε (15)
where, D = const , ε = const .
According to the improved law of gravity, i.e., Eq. (14), the gravitational potential
energy of the ball located on point P reads
V =−
GMm
( D − 1)rOD'P−1

According to the law of conservation of energy, we can get

And therefore

[ D −1 −

Considering the straight line between A and B reads
y = x+H (19)
For the ball located at point P
dv/dt = a (20)
Because

dt = =

Therefore
vdv = a 2 dx (21)
The force along to the tangent is
Fa =

According to the improved Newton’s second law, for point P, the acceleration along to
the tangent is

From Eq. (21), it gives

vdv = { 2

For the two sides, we run integral operation from A to P, it gives

vP2 = 2 ∫ { 2 2 D/2

Then the value can be calculated by numerical integral method.
The given data are assumed as follows: For the Earth, GM =3.99×1014m3/s2; the radius
of the Earth R =6.37×106m, H = R /10, try to solve the problem shown in Fig. 1, find the
solution for the value of vB2 ,and derive the improved law of gravity and the improved
Newton’s second law at one time.
Firstly, according to the original law of gravity, and the original Newton’s second law
(i.e., let D =2 in Eq. (14), ε =0 in Eq. (15)) and the law of conservation of energy, all the
related quantities can be calculated, then substitute them into Eq. (13), it gives
Π0 =571.4215
Here, according to the law of conservation of energy, it gives v '2B =1.0767× ,
×107 while
according to the original law of gravity, and the original Newton’s second law, it gives
v B2 =1.1351× ,
×107 the difference is about 5.4%. For the reason that the value of Π 0 is not
equal to zero, then the values of D and ε can be decided by the optimum seeking method.
At present the optimum seeking methods can be divided into two types, one type may not
depend on the initial values which program may be complicated, and another type requires
the better initial values which program is simple. One method of the second type, namely
the searching method will be used in this paper.
Firstly, the value of D is fixed so let D =2 ,then search the value of ε ,as
ε =0.0146, the value of Π reaches the minimum 139.3429;then the value of ε is
fixed,and search the value of D ,as D =1.99989, the value of Π reaches the minimum
137.3238;then the value of D is fixed,and search the value of ε ,as ε =0.01458, the
value of Π reaches minimum 137.3231. Because the last two results are highly close, the
searching can be stopped, and the final results are as follows
,
D =1.99989 ε =0.01458 , Π =137.3231
Here the value of Π is only 24% of Π 0 . While according to the law of conservation
of energy, it gives v '2B =1.0785× ,
×107 according to the improved law of gravity and the
improved Newton’s second law, it gives vB2 =1.1073×
×107, the difference is about 2.7% only.
The results suitable for this example with the constant dimension fractal form are as
follows
The improved law of gravity reads
GMm
F =− (26)
r 1.99989
96
The improved Newton’s second law reads
F = ma1.01458 (27)
Now we discuss the dimension (unit) of the improved law of gravity and the improved
Newton’s second law. Two precepts can be given.
1+ε 1
First one: To prescript the dimensions of a and r 2−ε use the same for a and r 2
separately.
Second one: To handle the dimension, for each formula, the right side multiplies by a
factor, for example, the improved Newton’s second law can be written as
F = K ' ma1+ε ,where the value of K ' is equal to 1, while the dimension of K ' should be
chosen to make the dimensions of the left side and right side identical.
The first precept is used in this paper for the advantage that the formula form may not
be changed, while for the second one the formula form will be changed. Of course, other
precept also may be discussed further.
Now we discuss the result given by the special relativity for this example. According to
SR, the Newton’s second law reads
F=
d
dt
(mvγ ) (28)
1
where, γ =
v2
1−
c2
For the case as shown in Fig.1, from Eq. (28) we can get
dv mv 2 dv v2 v 2γ 3
F ≈ γm +γ 3 2 ≈ ma (1 + 2 + 2 ) (29)
dt c dt 2c c
Substituting v B2 =1.0767× ×108 m/s into Eq. (29), it gives
×107 m2/s2, c=3×
F = ma(1 + 1.7945 × 10 −10 )
This means that, if 5 significance digits are required, then the special relativity will
give the same result as given by the original Newton’s second law, namely the result of SR
is not agreed with the result given by the law of conservation of energy.
Now we discuss the results given by the variable dimension fractal.
Supposing that the improved law of gravity and Newton’s second law with the form of
2 −δ
variable dimension fractal can be written as follows: F = −GMm / r , δ = k 2u ;
F = ma1+ε , ε = k1u ; where u is the horizon distance that the small ball rolls
( u = x + H ).
With the similar searching method, the values of k1 , k 2 can be determined, and the
results are as follows
Einstein believed that, the Newtonian mechanics was unable to solve the problem of
advance of Mercury’s perihelion and the problem of gravitational defection of a photon orbit
around the sun. Only the general theory of relativity was able to solve these problems.
Actually it is not the case. With the help of some results of general relativity, the improved
law of gravity can be derived.
As discussing the problem of planet’s movement around the sun according to the general
relativity, the following equation can be given[7]
1 3GMu 2
u"+u = + (30)
p c2
where, u =

r
;G – gravitational constant;M – mass of sun;c – velocity of light; p -
half normal focal chord.
Due to the central force, the orbit differential equation (Binet’s formula) reads
F

where, h – a constant.

F = − mh 2 u 2 ( + ) (32)

The original law of gravity reads
GMm
F =− 2

r
For Eq. (32) and Eq. (33), comparing the terms including u2, we have
h 2 = GMp

Substituting h into Eq.(32), we have
3G 2 M 2 mpu 4
F = −GMmu 2 − (34)

Substituting u = into Eq. (34), the improved law of gravity reads
r

F =−
GMm 3G 2 M 2 mp

(35)
where: G is gravitational constant, M and m are the masses of the two objects, r is the
distance between the two objects, c is the speed of light, p is the half normal chord for the
object m moving around the object M along with a curve, and the value of p is given by: p =
a(1-e2) (for ellipse), p = a (e2-1) (for hyperbola), p = y2/2x (for parabola).
For the problem of planet’s movement around the sun, substituting p = a (1-e2) into Eq.
(35), it gives
F =−
GMm 3G 2 M 2 ma(1 − e 2 )
r2

c2r 4
(36)
For the problem of gravitational deflection of photon orbit around the sun, according to
the general relativity, the hyperbolic half normal focal chord reads
c 2 r02
p=

where, r0 represents the nearest distance to the center of the sun as shown in Fig.2.
Hence, we have the following improved law of gravity
F =−
GMm 1.5GMmr02

−
r4
(37)
Now we prove that, according to Eq. (37), the deflection angle calculated by Newton’s
Mechanics equals two times of the value given by the original law of gravity, and equals to
the value given by general relativity.
Supposing that m represents the mass of photon. Because the deflection angle is very
small, we can assume that x=r0; thus on point (x, y), its coordinate can be written as
99
Fx =

(r + y 2 )1 / 2

The value of φ is the same as given by general relativity. This means that the improved
Newton’s formula also can be used to solve the problem of movement with high velocity.
It should be noted that in the area of experiment, reference [6] already pointed out that
the momentum-energy relation given by relativity didn’t agree with some experimental
results.

role. For all problems related with energy, the law of conservation of energy is the only truth;
other laws will be derived from or verified by the law of conservation of energy. At present
four issues are discussed. First, the relationship between force, mass and velocity is
reconsidered according to the law of conservation of energy. It is shown that in the general
expression of the force F = f (m, v, x, y, z, t ) , the form of the function can be obtained by
applying the law of conservation of energy. Second, it is shown that other laws, such as the
law of gravity and law of Coulomb, can be derived by applying the law of conservation of
energy. In passing, the changing rule for the gravitational coefficient (the so-called
gravitational constant) is given. Thirdly, it is shown that other laws should be verified or
denied according to the law of conservation of energy, and as examples, it is shown that the
law of conservation of momentum and the law of conservation of angular momentum are not
correct (as their results are in contradiction with the law of conservation of energy). Fourthly,
an old discipline of sciences can be updated into a new one; for example, Newton’s
mechanics can be updated into New Newton’s mechanics, in which the law of conservation of
energy is taken as the source law to obtain the law of gravity and Newton’s second law. New
Newton’s mechanics can be used partly in place of relativity and even can be used to solve
problems which cannot be solved by relativity.
Here we actually already propose a new method to establish the natural science theory,
i.e., through taking a principle or law as the only truth, to establish a new discipline. This
discipline may process unified many questions that is related to this principle or law in many
different original disciplines.
Perhaps the reader wants to ask that, why we take the law of conservation of energy as
the only truth? Whether or not the law of conservation of momentum or the law of
conservation of angular momentum can be taken as the only truth?
Essentially, the law of conservation of momentum or the law of conservation of angular
momentum also can be taken as the only truth, thus establish the science of conservation of
momentum or the science of conservation of angular momentum. But, the applicable scope of
the law of conservation of energy is much greater than that of the law of conservation of
momentum or the law of conservation of angular momentum. For example in chemistry,
medicine and so on, the law of conservation of momentum or the law of conservation of
angular momentum law nearly cannot be used. Therefore we should take the law of
conservation of energy as the only truth.
As for taking the unified variational principle for quantization in dynamic Smarandache
multi-space and the fractal method as the interdisciplinary grand unified method, the reason
can be stated briefly as follows.
Firstly, we discuss the applications of Dynamic Smarandache Multi-Space (DSMS)
Theory. Supposing for the n different dynamic spaces (n is a dynamic positive integer and the
function of time) the different equations have been established, as these n different dynamic
101
spaces synthesize the DSMS, and they are mutually affected, some new coupled equations
need to establish in the DSMS to replace some equations in the original dynamic spaces, as
well as supply other equations to process the contact, boundary conditions and so on. For the
unified processing of all equations in the DSMS, this paper proposes to run the quantization
processing to all the variables and all the equations and establish the unified variational
principle of quantization with the collocation method based on the method of weighted
residuals, and simultaneously solve all the equations in the DSMS with the optimization
method. Thus by using the unified variational principle of quantization in the DSMS and the
fractal quantization method, will pave the way for the unified processing of the theory of
relativity and the quantum mechanics, and the unified processing of the four foundational
interactions. At present this method can be used to find the coupled solution for the problem
of relativity and quantum mechanics.
Secondly, as well-known, the fractal method has been successfully used in some fields, it
is used to find the organized structure that deeply hidden in the complex phenomenon.
According to many scholars' viewpoints, it will be able to have great development and obtain
a bigger success in the 21st century.
At present for the fractal method in common use, the fractal dimension D is a constant,
for example the fractal dimension D for the coastline may be taken as 1.02, 1.25 and so on.
This kind of fractal may be called the constant dimension fractal. But, in nature the
phenomenon that strictly satisfies the relation of constant dimension fractal simply does not
exist. Therefore the massive complex phenomena are unable to process with constant
dimension fractal. In order to overcome this difficulty, now the concept of variable dimension
fractal has been proposed, namely the fractal dimension D is the function of the characteristic
scale r. Later, based on the complex number dimension fractal and the fractal series, the
variable dimension fractal in hyper complex spaces (in which the fractal dimension D is the
function of variable and hyper complex) also is presented.
In a word, the domestic and foreign scholars have already developed the fractal method
in many aspects.
Therefore, the fractal method will certainly have the extremely widespread applications.

Abstract: The applicability of the principle of relativity was reconsidered. There are
magnetic field forces between positive charge and negative charge in an electric dipole which
is moving in a laboratory reference frame. Whereas, examining the electric dipole in a
reference frame which is at rest relative to the electric dipole, we find no magnetic field force
exists between the two charges. The results obtained in the two frames are different, which
indicate some electromagnetism laws do not satisfy the principle of relativity whether under
Galilean transformation or under Lorentz transformation. The form invariance of Maxwell’s
equations under Lorentz transformation has been regarded as deeply significant, but the
present research shows that the form invariance of the field equations is nothing more than an
expression of the Doppler Effect.

1 Introduction
The Special Relativity has changed the space-time concepts formed in Newton’s time, and it
was based on the principle of relativity and the constancy of the velocity of light [1]. In the
past century, the two postulates had been accepted universally. Nevertheless, the Special
Relativity has been challenged continuously since its establishment from both theories and
experiments. In 2000, Nature journal declared an experiment result finding super-light
velocity by L. J. Wang et al. [2]. Thenceforth, different laboratories in the world have
successively accomplished a series of parallel test results about super-light velocity. In 2007,
C. W. Guo proved that the crossed Doppler Effect of light existed in Newton’s space-time
concepts [3], that is to say, a moving clock runs slow cannot be thought to be “time dilation”.
In 2011, C. W. Guo revealed a conflict between the relativistic mechanics and the momentum
conservation law [4], which indicated that the relativistic mechanics was faced with a serious
difficulty.
In the classical physics, the mechanics laws satisfy the requirement of the principle of
relativity under Galilean transformation. Upon the development of Maxwell’s equations for
electromagnetism, those equations were not found to satisfy that same principle under the
104
same transformation. With the establishment of the Special Relativity, the laws of mechanics
were revised to satisfy the principle of relativity under Lorentz transformation, and Maxwell’s
equations were shown to satisfy that same principle under Lorentz transformation.
Thenceforth, the principle of relativity has been thought to be applicable for all physical laws,
which mean that all physical laws maintain invariant form in all inertial reference frames
connected by Lorentz transformation.
However, in the present research, it was discovered that some laws in electromagnetism are
not quite like that. Furthermore, it was found that the form invariance of Maxwell’s equations
has a precedent in the familiar Doppler Effect.
negative charge N within the electric dipole lie on x , y -coordinate plane, and the
coordinate values of the negative charge N are bigger than those of the positive charge P .
Denote by α the angle between the direction of line segment PN and the x -axis, let the
distance between the two charges be r , and the electricity quantities of the two charges be q
and − q respectively. Suppose that the electric dipole is moving with a velocity v along the
x -axis direction, according to Biot-Svart law, we get the magnetic strength at point N
produced by the positive charge P ,
µ 0 q v sin α
BN =
4π r2
And according to Ampere law, we have the magnetic force acting on negative charge N ,
µ 0 q 2 v 2 sin α
FN = (1)
4π r2
FN directs towards the y -axis direction. With the same method we get the magnetic force
µ 0 q 2 v 2 sin α
FP = − (2)
4π r2
Where minus denote that FP is towards the negative y -axis direction. Equation (1) and (2)
indicate that the direction of the electric dipole PN will be perpendicular to the x -axis under
Suppose we have a reference frame S' that is moving relative to the laboratory reference
frame S at the velocity v along the x -axis direction, the electric dipole is motionless from
105
the view point of observers in the frame S'. The magnetic forces between the positive charge
and negative charge are zero when computing with Biot-Svart law and Ampere law, therefore,
the electric dipole PN may point to any directions in the frame S'. The result is absolutely
inconsistent with that in the laboratory reference frame. Apparently, some electromagnetism
laws can not satisfy the requirement of the principle of relativity whether according to
classical electromagnetism or according to relativistic electromagnetism.
The analysis below shows that the form invariance of the field equations is nothing more than
an expression of the Doppler Effect.
Set up two inertial reference frame S and S'. The x -axis is coincident with the x' -axis, y -
axis is parallel to y ' -axis and z -axis parallel to z ' -axis. The frame S' is moving at a velocity
v relative to frame S in the x direction. When the origin of frame S' passes the origin of
frame S, the clocks at the two origins read zero.
Transition of Maxwell’s equations in going from the frame S to the frame S' by Lorentz
transformation gives the equations for Lorentz transformation of the electromagnetic field:
E x' = E x
E y' = γ ( E y − vBz )
E z' = γ ( E z + vB y )
B x' = B x
B y' = γ ( B y + vE z / c 2 )
B z' = γ ( B z − vE y / c 2 )
1
Where γ = , E x , E y , and E z are electric field strengths in the directions of x -
1− v2 / c2
axis, y -axis, and z -axis, respectively, B x , B y , and B z are magnetic field strengths in the
directions of x -axis, y -axis, and z -axis, respectively, and c is the velocity of light. In the
r
free space, the relations between the electric field strength E and the magnetic field strength
r
B in the electromagnetic waves are
r r r
E = −c n × B
106
r 1 r r
B = n×E
c
r
Where n denotes the unit vector in the direction of the propagation of electromagnetic waves.
Now we suppose the light source that is at rest in the frame S emits light and the light
propagates in the x direction. From the above equations we get
E y' = γ ( 1 − v / c) E y
E z' = γ ( 1 − v / c ) E z
B y' = γ ( 1 − v / c) B y
B z' = γ ( 1 − v / c ) B z
It seems that the equations are the same as the expression of the Doppler Effect.
4 Conclusion
The principle of relativity has been widely recognized to be applicable for the
electromagnetism under Lorentz transformation for as long as one century. However the
present research shows that some electromagnetism laws do not meet the requirement of the
principle of relativity.
In addition, the form invariance of Maxwell’s equations under Lorentz transformation has
been regarded as deeply significant. However, the present research shows that the form
invariance is just a reflection of the Doppler Effect.

Abstract:By carefully comparing the results given by the general theory of relativity and the
actual astronomical observation, the contradiction between them is found to be difficult to
overcome. Furthermore, there is no sign so far of the existence of “the waves” predicted by
the general theory of relativity. Therefore, the general theory of relativity is pointed as a
wrong theory. All the research results and inference based on the general theory of relativity
should be queried.

1 Introduction
Einstein’sresearch in physics, achieved brilliant success, (Special) relativistic far-fetched to
propose a general theory of relativity. General relativity theory is a description of the
gravitational interaction between celestial bodies in the universe. Material strong (S), weak
(W), electromagnetic (EH), gravitational (G) are four interaction theories of gravitation
theory. Evidence that he was “far-fetched”, is due to Newton’sability to prove “the existence
of absolute space-time reference system”, which proposed “rotating bucket experiment”: The
aqueous phase (spinning) “Barrel wall” spin down [relative (in the inertial reference system)
still] the water is flat; the water phase (spinning) “Barrel wall” relatively static [relative (in
the inertial reference system) rotation—bucket of water synchronous rotation ] “sunken”. That
is to say, the “complex and mysterious”“Barrel wall” said absolute reference system. The
Mach thus Mach's principle “by the reference system of the universe all of substances ‘Barrel
wall’ (it’s external) decision is an absolute reference system”. Einstein was thus impatient to
the basis of Mach's principle, proposed his “all space-time reference system ( affine )
equivalent to each other”, the General Principle of Relativity (space-time general covariance),
the creation of a general theory of relativity. In this theory, the material between the
gravitational interactions—gravitational field, and as a material in which the space-time
geometry was treated. However, we have strict that [1], Newton's rotating bucket experiment,
108
in essence,has completely proven the universal principle of relativity flat space-time. Perhaps
Einstein has long been aware of this, which makes him later abandon his general theory of
relativity, Mach's principle reasons for it. This body out of nowhere “principle of general
covariance, talking nonsense like given” generalized principle of relativity, and thus the
establishment of the castles in the air general relativity. The last century, the general theory of
relativity was holding red fire, and took pains (this theory has a complex mathematical
structure) rather inexplicably given theory: “The structure of the universe substances , dark
matter , dark energy”; “universe, the origin of the Big Bang”; “the expansion of the universe,
the evolution of explosive expansion”; “time tunnel” through which can pass through to the
“past” and “future”, etc. This undoubtedly gives a magical and magical. However, the huge
theory and human practice activities (navigation, aviation, aerospace...) irrelevant.
Therefore, very natural scholars: Use general relativity to study our side in the universe’s
meticulous observation part of the structure of the universe. This can either theoretically be a
more accurate understanding of our cosmic environment, but also further witness the absolute
correctness of the theory of general relativity. This proposal is very good. In this way, we now
know very clearly, ironclad accurate observation of facts, to absolute falsification of general
relativity.

description of the laws of celestial bodies, which is more objective truth. This is entirely in
line with the truth avenue from simple principle. Now no one I do not know: The earth goes

2.3. Directly from the above results, we see that, in General Relativity, due to the symmetry
of the R 4 , the moderate regulatory covariant indicators Riemann space R 4 torsion constant 0.
Torsion of the actual trajectory of the planet (such as the moon) the heliocentric system is
non-zero. Huge contradiction between the results and the actual observed facts which make
the “general relativity”. Some scholars may be aware of this problem, and torsion of general
relativity [6]. Riemannian space-time R 4 with torsion, however, will lose the only three-
dimensional spherical symmetry in the R 4 , which makes R 4 no symmetry (covariant) sexual.
This theory will completely and “special/general relativity principle” irrelevant, no say
general relativity? Therefore, the contradiction here is absolutely impossible to approve the
amendment of the general relativity to be overcome. A theory with actual observations are
completely the opposite, that the theory can be absolutely sure is wrong. However, this theory
is generally as “science”, we can only say that this “science” must be pseudo-science.(QED)
Proof 2: General relativity in the Riemannian space-time R 4 painstaking claimed Riemannian
space-time from which an object has energy. But where in the energy density of the number,
but not precise and uniform. In-laws are different. Only opposite result, this space-time

“proved” positive mass theorem. That gravitational waves will be sky everywhere. “Only the
curved space-time, there would be no gravitational waves”? It is not to mention the “trickery”
suspected. On the recognition of gravitational waves, it is a long time, of a lot of effort, has
yet to detect gravitational waves gossamer ant trails.
The results showed that ( S, W, EH, G) in the gravitational interaction (gravitational field). It
has been four kinds of interactions between substances [7-9], homogeneous and isotropic flat
space-time, through its quantum negative phase of the overall state of the U (1) specification,
given its quality (Netherlands); through its quantum state U (1) local gauge negative phase,
resulting in its gravitational field. The gravitational field is a negative energy field. The
gravitational field cannot be positive energy to the material source external radiation of
gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are impossible to detect gravitational source. Day-
to-day experience of everything, including a free-fall and Mossbauer
Effectexperiments,areproven.
Here is also clear from the energy given the need to question the general relativity scientific
argumentation.(Q.E.D)
In short, we can clearly see, general relativity as the basis of the results of all the findings and
inferences are impossible to set up.

The Theory of Relativity and Compressibility Ether
Hu Chang-Wei
Beijing Relativity Theory Research Federation
([email protected])
Abstract: Its physical basis and limitations do not be explained by the theory of relativity
itself, so that it seems that is an existence without matter. Its physical basis is, in fact, the
macroscopic physical vacuum, which is called ether. In the absolute space-time theory, the
ether is a compressible superfluid, a change in the ether density causes a change in the actual
space-time standard, and thus, the phenomena occur. The relativity made up the shortcoming
of absolute space-time theory in quantity, while the physical basis of relativity can be
described and its limitations can be showed on the basis of absolute space-time theory.
Relativistic and absolute space-time theories are two different space-time theories in nature. It
is not the relation that one negates the other and yet there are certain discrepancies,
corresponding relationships and complementarities between them
1 Introduction
The theory of relativity is one of the bases of modern physics. Nevertheless, it is like an
axiomatic system that derived a series of quantitative relations from several principles but the
mechanism why this quantitative relation can be established does not be explained. Therefore
what it describes is only some appearance. The relativity should not be an existence without
matter, what is its material basis? It is a physical vacuum. A vacuum is not a void, which is
showed by Casimir effect[1.2] and so on. The matter of vacuum state is called ether, which is
different from the mechanical ether in 19th century, is a compressible superfluid, and can be
used to explain Michelson-Morley experiment and the origin of Lorentz invariability, namely
the uniformity of the four dimensional space-time continuum.
In the 80’s of the 20th century, I was already to point out that the Lorentz transformation
can be derived by means of fluid mechanics[3]. Contemporaneously, Liao Mingsheng
discovered that the equations with form of relativistic formula can be obtained through taking
Lorentz covariance to the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics[4.5]. Later, Yang Xintie
and others considered that relativistic effects are similar to compressible effects of fluid[6.7].
These can provide leads for researches in physical basis and limitation of relativity.
following equation:
∆φ ( x. y.z ) = 0 . (1)
Let a body move with velocity v in an infinite compressible fluid, which causes
disturbances in the velocity, density and pressure. If the disturbances are assumed to be
infinitesimal quantities of the first order, the equation of linearization can be obtained[8]:
v 2 ∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ v
1 − 2 2 + 2 + 2 = 0 ( < 1) , (2)

Where c is the speed of sound in the fluid.

Substituting (3) into (2), the resulting equation is identified with (1): ∆φ x ' . y ' .z ' = 0 .
( )
Therefore, Eq. (3) is the transformation of the fluid from a compressible to an incompressible
state.
If two parallel right-angled coordinate systems O1( x1 , y1 , z1 ), O2( x2 , y2 , z2 ) are
constructed on two special fluids that satisfy equation (2), if their x-axes are superposed, and
if O2 with speed v moves in the positive x-direction, a Galilean transformation can be
performed between them, as in Eqs. (4) and (5):
x2 = x1 − vt1 y2 = y1 z2 = z1 , (4)
x1 = x2 + vt2 y1 = y2 z1 = z2 . (5)
(Note: Here, the time t is written as t1 and t2 separately.)

If the speed of sound c in the special fluid is the speed of light in a vacuum, then the
4 The formulas of relativistic form are derived from the formulas of fluid mechanics
The ether is an incompressible superfluid in the relativity, so that we can regard ether
as an ideal fluid, in which having a disturbances of sound, its equation of state is
dP = dρc 2 , (9)
Where the dP is the tiny increment of ether pressure; the c is the sound velocity; the d ρ is
ρ ' = βρ (1 − vux / c 2 ) , ρ ' u x' = β ( ρ u x − v ρ ) , ρ ' u y' = ρ u y , ρ ' uz' = ρuz . (10 )
Where the u is the velocity of moved body; the v is the velocity that a frame of reference
O '( x ', y ', z ') relative to O ( x, y , z ) and its direction is parallel to the x -axis.
Substituting the first equation into the second, third and fourth equations in Eq. (10),
gives Eq. (11):

Moreover,

u = u x2 + u y2 + u z2 ; u ' = u x'2 + u '2y + u z'2 . (12)
According the Eqs.(11) and (12), the Eq.(13) can be proved[5]
1 − u '2 / c 2 =
1 − u2 / c2
β (1 − u x v / c 2 )
. (13)
By the first equation of (10) and (13), it can be obtained

Obviously, the Eq. (11) is the formulae of velocity transformation in the relativity; and the
density ρ can be replaced by mass m in (15) and (16), which are separately the transformation
of mass and momentum, and the mass-velocity formula, in the relativity. Therefore there is
universality that the relativistic mass is corresponds to the tiny increment of ether density.
Why is it so? This question concerns the space-time theories.

A few people or groups’ intuitions are not reliable, but the intuitions of entire mankind
are the real generally. The absolute space-time, which describes the world with an invariable
space-time standard, considers that the space is flat three dimensions and the time is
homogeneous one dimension, which is a reflection of human intuitions. However, the actual
standard tools of length and time, such as rulers, clocks and light, can vary with the
environment due to temperature, velocity and gravitational potential. Thus, there are always
certain differences between the actual quantitative relation and the absolute space-time theory.
Now the most accurate standards of length and time are defined by light and the invariable
velocity of light, for example, a meter is the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in
1/299,792,458 of a second, where the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in a second is
always 299792458 meters whether it is fast or slow, the light speed become an invariable
definitional speed, which is just a premise of relativity, so that we can regard the relativity as
a quantitative theory with light as the measure of space-time. There seems in absolute space-
time theory that the theory of relativity regards a change of space-time standard as a change
of space-time itself, which is only a practicable mathematical model.
The description on the basis of absolute space-time theory is called the absolute
description, which describes the world with an invariable space-time standard. The
description on the basis of measuring data is called the quantitative description, which
describes the world with a variable space-time standard. There are always certain differences
between the quantitative and absolute descriptions. The effects caused by this differences or
the variability of space-time standards are called quantitative effects. The theory of relativity
is a theory of quantitative description, and the relativistic effects are the quantitative effects.
There can be different representations one thing in different space-time theory, or there
are certain discrepancies between two different space-time theories, that is to say, there seems
that any quantitative theory may be twisted more or less by aquantitative effect.
that a light beam bends to where the ether density is higher, which is just as the sound would
bend to where the atmosphere density is higher.
An object with mass m , the relation between its gravitational potential φ and the
distance r away from it is φ ∝ m / r 。It can be known with simple calculation that the φ of
the earth < φ of the sun < φ of the galaxy and so on at a point of the ground. Therefore Prof.
Tsao Chang said: “The ether background field seems a very deep sea, and the change of ether
density nearby a object is only small wave on a surface of this sea”.[12] Then it is practicable
that the mass of an object is regarded as the tiny increment of density in ideal ether fluid.

dr = 1 − v 2 / c 2 dr0 (17)
1− v / c
Where dr0 and dt 0 are the proper unit length and time, respectively. They do not vary
with velocity and are used to measure the change of space-time standards on objects in
relative motion with any velocity. Thus, they are the unit length and time in the absolute
description on this inertia frame of reference, and Eq. (17) is the equations of quantitative
effects in the special theory of relativity.
Similarly, it can be proven there are Eq. (18) [13]
119
dt0
dt = dr = 1 + 2ϕ / c 2 (18)
2
1 + 2ϕ / c
Where the dt 0 and dr0 are the proper unit length and unit time on the reference frame
that is far away from the gravitational field, the ϕ is the gravitational potential of a heavenly
body. The dt 0 and dr0 do not vary with the gravitational potential; that is, they are the
quantity in the absolute description. Eq. (18) is the equations of quantitative effects in the
general theory of relativity.
The equations of quantitative effects can be used to explain relativistic phenomena
simply. One example is given below.
The experiment on the delay of radar echo[14.15] showed that the velocity of light becomes
slower in a gravitational field, which can be solved simply using (18): The relation between
the velocities of the quantitative description ( dr / dt ) and the absolute
description ( dr / dt )is
0 0
dr / dt =
1 + 2ϕ / c dr0
2
= (1 + 2ϕ / c 2 )dr0 / dt 0 (19)
dt 0 / 1 + 2ϕ / c
Let the velocity of light without the gravitational field is c. Then, the velocity of light
c 0 = (1 + 2ϕ / c 2 )c = (1 −
2GM
c2r
)c (dr0 / dt 0 ) (20)
Eq. (20) is identical to the calculated result of the general theory of relativity with complex
way.
Obviously, the conclusion that the velocity of light becomes slower in a gravitational
field is an absolute description, which is the result of measuring the velocity of light over the
whole gravitational field with an invariable space-time standard. Quantitatively, the principle
of the invariability of the velocity of light is still established because the standards of space-
time in a gravitational field can vary with gravitational potential. Using the quantitative
space-time standard of one point to measure the velocity of light of this point, according to
(19), if the quantitative unit dr / dt is substituted for the absolute unit dr0 / dt 0 in (20), then
the velocity of light is always constant c , which shows a complementary between these two
descriptions.
10 Conclusions
As indicated above, Absolute space-time theory is a scientific abstract, where the
ether is a compressible superfluid, whose density field is the gravitational field, and a change
in its density causes a change in the actual space-time standard, and thus, relativistic
quantitative effects occur. The relativity, which is a quantitative theory with light as the
measure of space-time, made up the shortcoming of absolute space-time theory in quantity.
Nevertheless as absolute space-time theory sees it, the relativity, which regards the change of
the actual space-time standard as the change of space-time itself, is a practicable
mathematical model. The absolute and relativistic theories are two different theories in nature.
It is not the relation that one negates another and yet there are certain discrepancies,
corresponding relationships and complementarities between them. The relativity is quite
effective when the increment of ether density is tiny, or the velocity of a body is lower than
light velocity; and it is ineffective for the dense and huge heavenly body or superluminal.

Abstract: Using two methods we deduce the new gravitational formula. Gravity is the
tachyonic centripetal force. Anybody may understand gravity. This paper is the first human to
a true description of gravity.
In the Universe there are two matters: (1) Observable subluminal matter called
tardyon and (2) unobservable superluminal matter called tachyon which coexist in motion.
Tachyon can be converted into tardyon, and vice versa. Tardyonic rotating motion produces
the centrifugal force, but tachyonic rotating motion produces the centripetal force, that is
gravity. In this paper using tardyonic and tachyonic coexistence principle we deduce the new
gravitational formula,
We first define two-dimensional space and time number [1]

Z = = ct + jx, (1)
x ct
where x and t are the tardyonic space and time coordinates, c is light velocity in vacuum,
0 1

Z = ct 0 e jθ = ct 0 (chθ + j sh θ ), (2)
where ct 0 is the tardyonic invariance, θ tardyonic hyperbolical angle.
ct = ct 0 ch θ , x = ct 0 sh θ (3)
ct0 = (ct) 2 − x 2 . (4)
From (3) we have
θ = th −1
x

where c ≥ u is the tardyonic velocity.
Using the morphism j : z → jz , we have
125
jz = x + jct = x 0 e jθ = x 0 (ch θ + j sh θ ), (6)
where x and t are the tachyonic space and time coordinates, x0 is tachyonic invariance, θ
x = x0 ch θ , ct = x0 sh θ . (7)
x0 = ( x ) 2 − (ct ) 2 . (8)
From (7) we have
θ = th −1
ct

c

(9)
where u ≥ c is the tachyonic velocity.
Figure 1 shows the formulas (1)-(9). j : z → jz is that tardyon can be converted into
tachyon, but j : jz → z is that tachyon can be converted into tardyon. u = 0 → u = c is the
positive acceleration, but u = ∞ → u = c is the negative acceleration, which coexist. At the
x − axis we define the tachyonic unit length
X 0 = lim u t = constant .
u →∞
(10)
t →0
Since at rest the tachyonic time t = 0 and u = ∞ , we prove that tachyon is unobservable.

1Introduction
According to Jiang idea[1],in the Universe there are two kinds of matter: (1)
Observable subluminal matter called tardyons(locality) and (2) unobservable superluminal
matter called tachyons(non-locality). They coexist in motion. What are tachyons? Historically
tachyons are described as particles which travel faster than light. Describing tachyon as a
particle with an imaginary mass is wrong[2]. In our theory[1] tachyon has no rest time and no
rest mass. It is unobservable. Tachyons can be converted into tardyons and vice versa.
Tardyonic rotating motion produces the centrifugal force but tachyonic rotating motion
produces the centripetal force which is force of gravity. Using the coexistence principle of
tardyons and tachyons it follows that

a tachyon, but j : jz → z shows that a tachyon can be converted into a tardyon.

coexist. At the x − axis we define the tachyonic string length

Whether u = 0 or u ≠ 0 , all matter produces gravity. Eqs. (15) and (16) are dual formulas,
which have the same form. Eq. (16) is a new gravitational formula called an equation that
changed the universe. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled me
toward a theory of gravitation. It has simplicity, elegance and mathematical beauty. It is the
foundations of gravitational theory and cosmology. In the universe there are two main forces:
The tardyonic centrifugal force (15) and tachyonic centripetal force (16) which make
structure formation of the universe.
Now we study the freely falling body. Tachyonic mass m can be converted into tardyonic
mass m , which acts on the freely falling body and produces the gravitational force

Therefore it shows that the principle of equivalence is nonexistent.

Since F2 + F1 > 0 , centrifugal force F2 is greater than gravitational force F1 , then the body

If body A is the Earth, then body B is the Moon; if body A is the Sun, then body B is the
Earth; …. It can explain our accelerating universe. In this model universe there are no dark
matter and no dark energy. This simple thought made a deep impression on me. It impelled
me toward an expansion theory of the universe without dark matter and dark energy.
If the body A is the Sun and body B is the planet. We calculate the gravitational coefficients
η as shown in table 1.
Since gravitational mass m can be transformed into the rest mass in body B , we define
M g = Mi + m Mi = MB
Einstein’s gravitational mass and inertial mass [6]..
It follows
M g > Mi . (29)
Therefore it shows that the principle of equivalence in the Solar system is nonexistent. Of all
the principles at work in gravitation, none is more central than the principles of
equivalence[5], which could be wrong.
The tachyonic mass m can be converted into electrons and positrons which are the basic
building-blocks of elementary particles [8,9]. In this universe there are no Higgs particles.
They have not been produced at the Large Hadron Collider and other particle accelerators.

where 1 jn= 10 cm and m (Gev) is the mass of the particles.
From (37) it follows that the proton and neutron radii are 1.5 jn[4,10].Pohl et al measure the
proton diameter 3 jn[11].
We have the formula of the nuclear radii[12]
Similar to equation (10) we define the tachyonic momentum of a string length x0 [1,4].

Since u → ∞ and t = 0 , tachyonic string has no rest mass and no rest time, it shows that
tachyon is unobservable, that gravity is action-at-a-distance and gravitational wave is
unobservable. If quantum teleportation, quantum computation and quantum information are
the tachyonic motion[13], then they are unobservable.
4Conclusion
Special relativity is the tardyonic theory. Einstein pointed out those velocities greater
than that of light have –as in our previous results-no possibility of existence [14], which could
be wrong. But gravitation is the tachyonic theory and an action-at-a-distance.
What is gravity? Newton wrote, “I have not been able to discover the cause of those
properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses ….” Einstein’s theory of
general relativity answered Newton’s question: Mass causes space-time curvature which is
wrong. Gravity is the tachyonic centripetal force.
Where did we come from? Where are we going ? What makes up the universe? These
questions have occupied mankind for thousands of years. Over the course of history, our view
of the world has changed. Theologians and philosophers, physicists and astronomers have
given us very different answers. Where did we come from ? We answer these questions this
way m → m ,tachyons → tardyons, that is gravitons can be converted into the electrons and
positrons which are the basic building-blocks of particles. In this model Universe there are no
quarks and no Higgs particles. Where are we going? We answer this question this way
m → m , that is the tardyons produce tachyons. The tardyons and tachyons make up the
Universe.

An Unsettled Issue of Time in Relativity Theory andNew Comprehension on Time
Liu Taixiang
Foreword
American physicist L. Smolin asserts that the dilemmas confronted by string theory,
loop quantum gravity and other means trying to unify physics all originate from some wrong
assumptions, among which the key issue lies in the nature of time. In deep meaning in both
quantum theory and general relativity, the nature of time has been wrongly understood [1]. The
author has deduced the properties of time that are different in some aspects in accordance
with system relativity[2] .
We know that there are two kinds of object motion, linear motion and angular motion.
The velocity v in linear motion is indicated by the ratio of movement distance a to the
required time t ,i.e., v=a/t;the angular velocity ω in angular motion is indicated by the
ratio of rotation angle θ to the required time t, i.e., ω=θ/t. Thus it can be perceived that time
and movement are inseparable.
It is acknowledged in both philosophy and physics that movement is the basic pattern of
141
substance existence, substance and movement are inseparable. However, why substance
movement is inevitable. The integrated explanation on the issue was not given in either
philosophy or physics.
According to system relativity, the vast and boundless space is made up of fluid state
(continuous state) substance, space is the expression of the static property of the fluid state
substance, and field is the embodiment of the dynamic property of the fluid state substance,
therefore space and field are unified, and their entities are all fluid state substances, thus it can
be perceived that the space in system relativity corresponds to the ground state (i.e., vacuum)
of quantum field.
ρ=e /V=0,and the S is in static state, i.e., the movement velocity v of S equals 0;If the S
0
volume is limited,the space energy density ρ>0,and the velocity v of S is >0. Obviously
the change of S volume will lead to the change of its motion state, and vice versa, i.e., the
form of S and its motion state interact as both cause and effect. It can be deduced from this
that space movement is a spontaneous mechanism of fluid state substance that can undergo
without external motivation.
142
The rigid body form vortex ring formed through S saltus is called fundamental particle cn, as
shown in figure 1.
(
can be known from the author’s “Generality of Motion and Velocity of Light” Published on
In system relativity, it is considered that the nature of an object is energy. It has the
properties of volume (i.e., three-dimensional property) and movement (i.e., the relative
movement between objects). The properties of energy and volume of an object exist
independently without relying on the outside world, however, the movement property of an
object is a form of existence shown with the external environment as background, therefore,
the movement property of an object relies on the external environment, in other words, the
movement property of an object derives from the external environment.
The movability of an object is shown by the endless movement and evolution process of
143
cosmic things, the process can be quantified into a series of “events”. During the observation
on an event, the external periodical event (like sunrise or sunset) becomes a background for
observation, the period of the background event naturally becomes a kind of gauge for us to
measure the event being observed. The physical significance of the value acquired through the
measurement on the event via the gauge is called time by us, the value magnitude indicates
time span, the gauge is time gauge.
Just like what Wheeler says, physics should be rebuilt on a new basis, and in the new
physical system, the formation of time will be through derivation[4]. If there is no movement,
there is no event, and therefore the periodicity of the “event” course does not exist, there is no
certain background for our observation on the outside movement course, and naturally there is
no the generation of the concept of time. Therefore, time is the concept deriving from
movement, surely time relies on the external environment for existence.
It can be deduced from universe state that time has such properties as one dimension,
irreversibility and infiniteness, etc.
During the endless course of movement and evolution of cosmic things, each moment
corresponds to a cosmic state called as universe state ΨU(t) for short. The assembly of the
universe states in various moments constitutes a universe state sequence:
Substitute for ΨU(t) from formula (4) into formula (3),then the following matrix
expression on the universe U is acquired:
(5)
We can acquire the definition on the universe from the above formula: The universe is a
general term meaning the past, present and future states of all the substances (objects).
Actually, each object stateΨ(t) is composed of its state of matter, state of motion, its
relationship with the surrounding objects in terms of position, etc. Just like the ancient Greek
philosopher Heracleitus said:“No one ever steps into the same river twice”, it is more
impossible for us to perceive the two universe states that are the same, this is determined by
the movement character and infiniteness of objects. Therefore, although periodicity exists on
partial object movement, any two universe states are different in the universe state
sequence,i.e.:
The absoluteness of object movement and the infiniteness of substance indicate that
universe state ΨU(t) has the property of infiniteness, i.e., there is neither starting point nor
finishing point in the universe, therefore time has the property of infiniteness, i.e., time has
no beginning and end.
In accordance with Big Bang theory, the generation of our universe, accompanied
by the simultaneous generation of time, originates from the big bang of a “singularity”
with infinite great density and high temperature. Obviously, in accordance with Big
145
Bang theory, time has a starting point, which some scientists are suspicious of—what is
outside the “singularity”? What had happened before the big bang of the “singularity”?
And what mechanism had triggered off the big bang? In facing these queries, the theory
supporters believe that all physical laws do not exist on the “singularity”. In the author’s
opinion, requiring all the physical laws to exist at the designated time and place just for
the purpose of catering for a theory seems to bring the God into the palace of science,
which is unacceptable to the whole science community. Therefore the Big Bang Theory
is questionable.
It can be known from system relativity that a fundamental particle cn has the constant
vorticity Фc, please refer to figure 1. This means that the S number nc passing through cn ring
is constant. Therefore, the time ts for each S to pass through cn ring can be expressed as:
stands for space density on the surface of a celestial body, r0 stands for the radius of the
celestial body, r stands for the distance to the celestial body, ρ stands for the space density at a
place, the distance between the place and the celestial body is r ), therefore time also has
density distribution. Suppose space density is ρ, then time density ρt can be expressed as:
Suppose that a time scale is set up between the earth and the sun, then the mark gap at
the earth side is about three times that of the sun side(deduced from gravity acceleration), and
the maximum mark gap is located on the boundary of the earth field, as thrown in figure 3.
That is the essence of “time expansion” effect.
Obviously, a
length scale with
even marks is
146
different from a time scale. If the marks on the length scale are determined on the basis of
space density, its mark gaps will also be uneven, which is the essence of “shortening of
moving length scale” effect.
As mentioned above, suppose an event A happens in the environment with space density ρ
during the time span of t, then:
The time span for event A is t⊙ during our general observation in the environment of
earth surface (the space density is ρ⊙), then such formula can be deduced: t⊙=ρt×A= tsρ⊙1/3A.
Get the formula divided by formula (9) and make arrangement, then :
t⊙=(ρ⊙/ρ)1/3t (10)
In the above formula, we refer to t as the inherent time of an event, and t⊙as the event
observation time on earth surface, and the above formula can be referred to as time change
equation.
On the one hand, space has time property. On the other hand, the space made up of fluid-
state substance is invisible. The movement we can see is that of objects. Furthermore, the
movement of objects is the movement in space, and there is no movement and consequently
no time without space. So time and space are inseparable.
[5]
According to special relativity, space and time are intertwined . This view has greatly
pushed forward Newton’s absolute time and space outlook. Einstein regarded time as an item
independent of space, and called three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time jointly as
four-dimensional space-time, i.e., Einstein did not acknowledge the inseparability between
time and space. Therefore the author believes that the physical revolution launched by
Einstein is not thoroughgoing, which is why he failed to establish the “unified field theory”
regardless of his consumption of lifelong energy.

4 Time and Universe
A constant and stable universe model can derive from the infiniteness of time, and it can be
deduced from the quantum property of substance that the so called universe “singularity” does
not exist. Therefore the author believes that the Big Bang with the starting point of time has
never occurred, however, there are continuous black hole big bangs in the galaxies or galaxy
clusters spread over the universe. Therefore, the “standard universe model” accepted by most
of the scientists is questionable.
( )
ρ≥ργ 11
The space area with the space density ρ <ρ (i.e., black space) is the space where time
γ
does not exist and the pure space excluding objects that include various particles such as
fundamental particle cn. From this it can be deduced that time does not exist without objects,
the existence of time depends on the existence of objects. The space of the object-existing
also called time-dependent space.
It can be known from section 1.1 that the vortex movement of space generates
fundamental particles, which form photons, electrons, protons, atoms, common objects and
celestial bodies, and then form a universe. However, it is impossible that the vast and
boundless space happens to exist only in the sole universe space vortex we stay in, in other
words, there should be many universe space vortex in space. Each universe space vortex is
called a subsidiary universe, which is called universe for short; all the subsidiary universes
jointly constitute an ultimate universe, also called total universe.
The total universe is the universal set of substances, it is the biggest and most
complicated system and can be regarded as a single body, i.e., the total universe body. The
total universe has no outer boundary, i.e., the outer field strength b of the total universe body
equals 0, then in accordance with the formula on the field radius rb, i.e., rb =(B0/b)1/2r0 (B0 and
149
r0 are the surface field strength and radius of the total universe body respectively), it can be
known that the field radius of the total universe body is infinite, therefore the volume of the
total universe is infinite. As the field strength b at the field boundary of a subsidiary universe
is >0, the values of the volume and energy of a subsidiary universe should be finite.
As the photons (i.e., information) of a subsidiary universe is unable to run out, on the
one hand, there is no information exchange between the subsidiary universes, i.e., each
subsidiary universe is an information isolation island, which is referred to as information
island; on the other hand, the dark space between the subsidiary universes is the world where
time does not exist, and each subsidiary universe becomes a time isolation island referred to
as time island floating in the black space, as shown in figure 6. While staying in the
subsidiary universe where we live in, we are unable to observe the existence of other
subsidiary universes, which is different from the content in M theory that a subsidiary
universe cannot be observed just
because it is located in different
dimensionality.
It is worth mentioning that
although invisibility exists among the
subsidiary universes, interaction and
relative motion exist among them.
However, different from the syncretic
property existing among the galaxies,
the relationship among the subsidiary
universes is more like the relationship
among the particles in fluid, they are
independent and keep a distance from
each other and never keep in touch.
In accordance with classical physics, space is three dimensional. Ever since the
establishment of Einstein’s special relativity, in view of the understanding that time and space
are intertwined, time and space are jointly referred to as space-time, which has four
dimensionalities, among which three dimensionalities correspond to empirical space, one
dimensionality corresponds to time. In various editions of string theory in which various types
of space dimensions, including 7 dimension theory, 10 dimension theory, 11 dimension
theory, apart from the dimensionality of three-dimensional empirical space and the
dimensionality of one-dimensional time, the remaining dimensionalities all curl up in inner
space [6].
150
We all know that substance has the property of volume, a substance without volume
does not exist, the volume property, if expressed in the form of space, means that space
is three dimensional. In the frame of three-dimension space, we can see that a subsidiary
universe is dynamic, there are movements and evolutionary processes of various objects
and celestial bodies. Surely, the whole subsidiary universe serves as the observation
background for the observation on any celestial body in it. If we try to make the whole
subsidiary universe as the object for observation, we can only observe by standing in the
dark space. As described in 4.1, the subsidiary universe at this time has disappeared.
In the early 17th century, both Descartes and Galileo made the most fantastic
discovery: In a coordinate diagram in which horizontal axis represents space and vertical
axis represents time, the movement passing through space becomes a curve on the
diagram (as shown in figure 7). In this mode, time seems to have become the space of
another dimension. Movement is frozen, the seemingly static course of movement and
[7]
change is presented before us . In terms of this discovery, L. Smolin thinks that it is
wrong to express time in the form of space acquired through conversion.
151
In four-dimensional space-time frame, time does not exist, and consequently
movement is frozen, therefore movement and evolution process does not exist in the
whole universe in four-dimensional space-time frame, this is the static universe----an
eternal existence mentioned by Einstein. In accordance with the illustration in section 4,
the absence of time means that the observer is in black space. This eternal existence
becomes nonexistence due to invisibility.
In the various editions of M theory inclusive string theory, inner space is set up
specifically for the purpose of resolving the problems we are confronted with. The number of
space dimensions lies in our choice. If four-dimensional space-time does not exist, the
existence of higher dimensional space will be more unlikely. Therefore, the author thinks that
space has and has only three dimensions.
6 Ending Remarks
In conclusion, the author thinks that time is a kind of background, a kind of space. Time
derives from movement, light and its existence relies on objects and observers. Time is the
high degree of abstraction on nature, time is our universe. This is the outlook on time in
system relativity.

Theory of Relativity does not solve the problem of experimental verification
Tu Runsheng

Abstract: In a limited number of experiments that support Theory of Relativity, there also
exist some points that are not supportive of the theory. Therefore, Theory of relativity does
notsolvetheproblemofexperimental verification. Although the results of many experiments
quantitatively conform to the predictions of Theory of Relativity, many of them are not
supportive of the theory in one place or another. For example, Jones experiment confirms
that: Observing in thesystem of the movementglass, the law of refractionis not established;
from the observation with a moving frame of reference, the moving direction of a photon is
actually related to the state of motion of the light source. According to this, the observer in the
frame of reference can determine the speed of motion of himself. The principles of relativity
are identical with Doppler shift, both requiring an identical emission frequency of the same
type of light source in different state of motion. The atomic clock's bi-directional
circumnavigation experiment proves that the same light source in different state of motion has
different emission frequencies; the velocity sequence of atomic clocks in different systems is
unique, and is independent of the state of motion of the observer. This proves the
inequivalence of different inertial systems. The asymmetry in time for microwave transmitted
back and forth to geostationary satellite and the results of Michelson's experiments conducted
at different altitudes and Sagnac experiments proved that the resultant velocity of light
velocity and velocity of earth's surface is not light velocity. This indicates that as for Theory
of Relativity, we should be neither supportive nor non-supportive unconditionally. Instead, we
should go back to its true features.
The experiments that are believed to be supportive of Theory of Relativity contain some
parts that conform to Theory of Relativity. If the focus of attention is changed, one can find
many places that are not in accordance with Theory of Relativity. In other words, except for
one local experiment, almost all the experiments can be found consistent with Theory of
Relativity in some places; however, if we change to another focus of attention, some parts of
these experiments can be found inconsistent with Theory of Relativity. If an experiment is
believed to have proven the Theory of Relativity, it is because the experiment is simply
explained in a way that supports Theory of Relativity. For example, the results of Jones
154
[1-3]
experiment conform quantitatively with the predictions of Theory of Relativity only in
some parts, while qualitatively the results are not in accordance with the theory; the atomic
clock's bi-directional circumnavigation experiment is consistent with the predictions of
Theory of Relativity only quantitatively, while qualitatively it is not in accordance with
Theory of Relativity. The results of Sagnac experiment are contrary to those of Michelson's
experiment, and do not support Theory of Relativity. There are even more examples that
support this point.
The fact that the experiment conducted by Miller et al. is not supportive of Theory of
Relativity has long been reported. People tolerate these experiments because such
experiments are few. That is to say, people do not feel pressured when “the blue sky is
scattered with few clouds”. Only when the sky is full of rainy clouds can people feel the
pressure. Now it has been found that a large quantity of experiments are a “double-edged
sword” to Theory of Relativity, showing that the theory is reasonable in some places and have
serious faults in other places. But the physicists can no longer stay indifferent.
1 With changed focus of attention, it is not hard to find that “the Jones experiment
believed to support Theory of Relativity” actually goes contrary to it
To illustrate this point, let's take a look at two theoretical experiments in imagination.
Then the situation proved by Jones experiment and the requirements of Theory of Relativity
are demonstrated. The results of these two experiments can be used as the guidance, premise
or basis for later discussion.

and the internal wall of the tunnel. This is because the space between the light source and the
internal wall belongs to the roadbed reference system, and the train body is parallel with the
internal wall of the tunnel. It would be contradictory to the mathmatical principles if a beam
of light is vertical to the train body but not vertical to the internal wall. In a general sense,
when the space between the light source and the moving planar object is changed to vacuum,
the conclusion still holds within the framework of Theory of Relativity. It has to be admitted
according to the principles of relativity that the vacuum outside the objects belongs to the
system where the observation is conducted (when observed in the moving planar object, the
space between light source and the moving planar object belongs to the system in which the
moving planar object is in, This is similar to the situation where “the space above the roadbed
belongs to the roadbed reference system if observed in the roadbed reference system”). The
high-speed train searchlight experiment shows that for the principles of relativity to hold,
when the photon is emitted vertically to a moving planar object in a stationary reference
system (the space between the light source and the moving planar object is vacuum) and is
156
observed in a system connected to the moving planar object, then the photon path is still
vertical to this plane. If observed from the moving planar object, the photon emitted by the
moving source travels in an oblique path towards the planar object, then the velocity of the
photon is c 2 + υ 2 , which is higher than the light velocity and the light velocity is relevant
to the state of motion of the observer. Then the principle of constancy of light velocity cannot
hold.

±0.016nm). According to the theoretical prediction by equation (2), the value was 6.174nm.
From the equation (2) proven by Jones experiment it can be noted that the experiment
demonstrated the “association between lateral movement and thickness of disk”. What does
this represent? First of all, it shows that the pulling ends when the photon has passed through
the glass and the light basically resumes the emission direction before entering the glass disk.
Secondly, it shows that the pulling exerted by the glass medium cannot give a permanent
lateral velocity component to the photon (apart from the refraction, when the photon passes
through the interface, its lateral motion is inconsistent with inertial motion principle).

be obtained from Figure 2 by changing of the reference system of the observer; for detailed
demonstration, see section 1.4). The lateral pulling efficiency of the glass on the photon is not
100%, which causes a very small angle of deflection upwards for the light inside the glass.

refraction. According to the Special Relativity, sinα1 = υ/c = 7.203×10-8. If the law of
refraction holds, then n=sinα1/sinβ1, sinβ1=sinα1/n=4.727×10-8. Since β1 is very small, we can
obtain the relationship as below: sinβ1≈tanβ1≈β1=4.727×10-8. This is the theoretical value of
the angle of refraction β1 corresponding to the incident angle α1 when observed in the glass
reference system. As for the measured value of β1 in Jones experiment, there are two different
ways of understanding. (1)Some believe that β1≈tanβ1=δ/2l=(6.175γ/l)/2=1.252×10-7. (2) In
the laboratory reference system, since the angle ψ in Figure 2 is caused entirely by the lateral
pulling exerted by the glass, the photon is moving in a stationary medium and the lateral
pulling does not exist. β1 should equal 0 (the experiment proves equation (2), and thus proves
understanding (2). The theoretical value that is in line with the law of refraction is not
identical to the measured values by the two ways of understanding.
Conclusion: In the rotating disk reference system, the measured angle of refraction was
not consistent with the theoretical value. The law of refraction is not true in the rotating disk
reference system.
Inference: The laboratory reference system is the superior reference system.
From Figure 3 it can be observed directly that in Jones experiment, if observed in the
glass reference system, the photon passing through the two interfaces does not conform to the
law of refraction (because the light inside of the glass is travelling horizontally while the light
158
outside is travelling in an oblique line).
Some people may be doubtful of the quantitative analysis above, for the light source is
moving when observed in the glass reference system. If the light transmits as shown in Figure
4, then the velocity and direction of the moving photon is relevant to the state of motion of the
observer. Thus, the principle of the consistency of light velocity is violated. If we admit that
the light velocity and its direction are relevant to the state of motion of the observer, then the
transmission path of the photon can be shown by Line 3 in Figure 5. The law of refraction still
applies in the glass reference system. However, to believe that “the transmission path of the
photon can be exactly shown by Line 3 in Figure 5” is to admit that in Figure 2 the
relationship between angle ψ and light velocity is tanψ=nυ/c, and equals to nfiγ on the right
side of Equation (1). nυ/c≠nfiγ indicates that the lateral pulling efficiency of the glass on the
photon is not 100%. So long as the lateral pulling efficiency of the glass on the photon is not
100%, the transmission path of the photon in the glass is not horizontal if observed in the
glass reference system (the target photon has a retrograde motion in the longitudinal
direction); instead, the light is deflected upward (the lower the efficiency of the pulling, the
larger the angle of deflection is). The law of refraction still does not hold in the glass
reference system.
1.4 Comparison between the results of Jones experiment and the requirement of Theory
of Relativity
If the pulling effects of a solid disk and a hollow disk are not the same, then the pulling
is relevant only to the total thickness of the glass disk. Then, the transmission path of the
photon in Jones experiment can be shown by Line 2 in Figure 5.
According to electromagnetic theory, for the transmission path of an electromagnetic
wave, any point is always the source of electromagnetic wave of the preceding point. Thus, if
a light source S is buried in the disk at the distance equaling to the disk radius and the incident
angle is also 0, then the deflection angle will certainly be β (See Figure 3(b)). If the light
source buried in the glass emits a photon towards the right and parallel with the normal, then
the deflection angle of the emerging light does not necessarily contain the contribution of
refraction but completely the angle of aberration β (See Figure 3(b)).
The equivalence of different inertial systems (the space belongs to the inertial system
where the observer is) and the principle that “light velocity and its direction are irrelevant to
the state of motion of the light source” require that “the transmission path of a horizontal
incident and vertically emerging light is still horizontal in a stationary space and a stationary
object” (for more details, see “high-speed train searchlight” experiment), When observed in
the laboratory reference system, the normally incident light falls on a glass disk. This avoids
the non-zero refraction of the light. The deflection of the light in the glass is caused entirely
by the pulling of the medium. When observed in the glass reference system, the non-zero
refraction does not happen. The light is still vertical to the glass disk (See “high-speed train
159
searchlight” experiment).
Within the framework of Theory of Relativity, when observed in the moving glass disk,
the vacuum at both sides of the interface is stationary to the observer (if the vacuum outside
the glass is believed to be moving and belongs to the laboratory reference system, the
laboratory reference system is superior to the glass reference system. If the glass and the
observer himself are believed to be moving, then the principles of relativity are violated).
Only when the observation is made in the laboratory reference system, the medium on both
sides of the glass-vacuum interface is “moving at one side and stationary at the other side”.
The law of refraction does not apply
“Observe the light emitted by the torch on the high-speed train in the roadbed reference
system” is entirely identical to “observe the light emitted by the light source in the glass
reference system in Jones experiment”. Therefore, Theory of Relativity requires that the
transmission path of the photon emitted from the light source in the laboratory reference
system must be vertical to the glass disk before entering the glass when observed in the glass
reference system (transmission path 3 of photon in
Figure 5 is required by Theory of Relativity). That is to

experiment and the fact that the error caused by 100% pulling efficiency is very small and can
be neglected). )
As shown above, when observed in the glass reference system, path 1 and path 3 in
Figure 5 are required by the Theory of Relativity (for specific reasons, see the results of
“high-speed train searchlight” experiment and take into consideration of the requirement of
“space division” in Theory of Relativity). Path 2 is the measured path in Jones experiment.
Admitting the legitimacy of path 2 and path 3 at the same time is to admit that a photon can
hit both point B and point C in the “photon shooting” experiment. This is a very serious
mistake, but people refuse to correct this mistake.

own motion, based on which optical speedometer can be developed

Where V is the absolute velocity of the system. Three pairs of mutually vertical electron gun
and photon gun form a speedometer of inner aberration. The velocity calculated based on
inner angle of aberration is not a velocity relative to any laboratory reference system, but the
absolute velocity of the moving system. This is because the inner angle of aberration is
measured by the observer inside the moving system, which requires no exterior reference
system. In fact, the inner aberration has nothing to do with the state of motion of the observer
outside the system; it is related only to the absolute state of motion of the investigated system.
1.6 The part that does not support the principle of consistency of light velocity in Jones
experiment.
By assuming that the Theory of Relativity is true, the incident angle α on the left side of
Figure 3(a) cannot be larger than 0. When observed in the laboratory reference system, the
light at both sides of the glass disk is horizontal; when observed inside the glass reference
system, the deflection angles of the light at both sides of the glass disk are symmetrical. When
observed in the laboratory reference system, the incident light is vertical to the glass disk (the
transmission path of the photon before it enters the glass is vertical to the glass disk). If we
admit that different inertial systems are equivalent, when observed in the glass reference
system, the space belongs to the glass reference system instead of the laboratory reference
system. “The transmission path of the photon before it enters the glass” is stationary and
162
maintains its posture of being vertical to the glass disk (for specific reasons, see “high-speed
train searchlight” experiment). In other words, the photon emitted from the moving light
source has a stationary transmission path, and the space that contains the transmission path is
also stationary. The direction is the original emission direction of the photon (vertical to the
glass disk). It is simply that the light source is moving away from the photon's transmission
path. We cannot assume that the stationary medium has a non-zero pulling effect on the
photon passing through.
From the perspective of the principle of consistency of light velocity, when observed in
the glass reference system, the idea that “the incident angle α at the left side of Figure 3(a) is
larger than 0” is questionable: The design of Jones experiment is that the light enters
vertically the first interface (observed in the laboratory reference system) and the incident
angle is 0. If it is believed that “when observed in the laboratory reference system, the
incidence is horizontal; when observed in the glass reference system, the incidence is
oblique”, then in the glass reference system, the principle of consistency of light velocity
implies that the velocity of the photon in the horizontal direction is c, and the velocity of
Different inertial systems to be equivalent require that the emission frequencies of the
same light-source in different inertial systems are the same (If the emission frequencies of the
same light-source at different movement state do not the same, different inertial system are
not equivalent), theeffectof the slowdown of themovementatomic clockcannot beaccumulated.
163
If we admit that thetransmitting frequencyofthemovementlight-sourceisalso changeable, the
observed spectroscopic redshift of galaxies is the jointly contributed by the variation of the
emissionfrequencyofthelight-source and theDoppler Effect. The calculated velocities by
submitting the all redshift into Doppler formula don’t always the velocity of galaxies away
from the observer.
The requirement of the principles of relativity on the emission frequency of the same
light source in different states of motion is view A. the emission frequencies of the same light
source in different states of motion are completely the same. Theory of Relativity admits that
Doppler shift is derived from Lorentz transformations, while the latter is the mathematical
foundation of the special theory of relativity. Doppler shift refers to that the emission
frequency of the light source does not change with the motion and only the receiving
frequency changes. Therefore, the requirement of the principles of relativity on the
inequivalence of different inertial systems is the same with that of Doppler shift: The
emission frequency of the light source does not change with its motion; only the receiving
frequency changes as the relative state of motion changes. The observation of the frequency
shift of galaxies in astronomy and cosmology adopts view A. However, people sometimes
also adopt view B: The emission frequencies of the same light source in different states of
motion are different. The reason is that the principles of relativity allow of different opinions
concerning time and emission frequency for observers in different states of motion. There are
two situations relevant to view B. B1: When observed in different reference systems, the
clocks in different systems have the same velocity sequence and are slower than the clock in
the system where the observer is; B2: When observed in different systems, the clocks in
different reference systems (including the clocks in the observer's system) have the same
velocity sequence(in other words, the velocity sequence of clocks in all reference systems is
irrelevant to the state of motion of the observer).
The speed of an atomic clock reflects the emission frequency of the light source in the
clock. The velocity sequence of the clocks directly corresponds to the emission frequency
sequence of the light source of the same type (because the inherent time of an inertial system
corresponds to the inherent frequency of the stationary light source in the system; a standard
clock records its inherent time, which reflects the inherent frequency of the light source).
View B1 is paradoxical: If the velocity sequence of the clocks in all the systems is irrelevant
to the state of motion of the observer, then it cannot be guaranteed that the clock in the system
where an observer is located is always faster than the clocks in other systems; if the clock in
the observer's system must be excluded, then the “subject structure” is also changed for the
observer. So we cannot say that “the velocity sequence of the clocks in all the systems is
irrelevant to the state of motion of the observer”. Therefore, view B1 can only admit that the
speed of clocks is only a visual effect instead of an accumulative effect that is real. It
corresponds always to the change of the receiving frequency. For example, there are six
systems in different states of motion, a, b, c, d, e, f. When observed in system a, the velocity
164
of f relative to a is the largest; according to view B1, the speed sequence of these clocks is
sequence of these clocks is only f>b>c>d>e>a. Logically, for the clock in the observer's
system to be the fastest, the change of system will definitely result in a new velocity sequence
of the clocks. Therefore, view B1 is paradoxical. If view B2 is adopted, it will be easy to find
the system with the fastest clock, which is the superior system. View B1 is usually adopted by
the supporters of Theory of Relativity. View A and B are contradictory. For someone who
adheres to rigorous scientific spirit, either A or B is right. One cannot consider view A correct
at one time and consider that view B is also correct at another time. It is impossible that both
view A and B conform to the Theory of Relativity.
Many people are familiar with the structure and working principle of Cesium clock—the
emission frequency of the cesium atom determines the speed of the clock and there is no
relative motion between the cesium light source and the frequency receiver. If the clock
becomes slower, it means the emission frequency of the cesium light source has become
lower. The reading on a moving atomic clock represents the inherent emission frequency of
the light source in the clock (and not the received frequency in a stationary reference system).
In the atomic clock's bi-directional circumnavigation experiment, the moving clock is
compared with a stationary clock on the ground and the change of the emission frequency of
the light source in the clocks is measured. It should be noted that it is not the change of
frequency of light emitted by the moving light source and received by a stationary observer.
Two pilots that fly the plane eastwards and westwards and the observer on the ground reach a
consensus on the speed of the three clocks (i.e. the velocity sequence of the three clocks is
irrelevant to the state of motion of the observer. Whatever the reference system, the clock
flying westwards is the fastest while the clock flying eastwards is the slowest). Only by direct
observation on the ground of the frequency of the photon in the clocks carried by the plane
can we measure the received frequency. Therefore, the bi-directional circumnavigation
experiment proves that the emission frequency of the light source in a moving system
becomes lower (i.e. view B2 is not right while view A is right). It is not the received frequency
that becomes lower (if it is the received frequency that becomes lower and the same light
source has the same emission frequency in different systems, then the moving atomic clock
will not be substantially slower.
To put it simply, in the atomic clock's bi-directional circumnavigation experiment, the
three clocks are calibrated at the same place and then placed in different moving systems.
After a certain period, the three clocks are again compared at the same place (after the
deduction of the acceleration effect). This method of clock calibration implies that the result
is absolute (that can be admitted by the observers in all states of motion). For relative uniform
motion, the result of the experiment is: The clock in the plane that flies westwards is faster
165
than the stationary clock on the ground, which is faster than the clock in the plane that flies
eastwards The result is absolute (i.e. the two pilots in the planes, the observer in the ground
laboratory and the observers in other states of motion have to admit the velocity sequence of
the three clocks measured this time. The velocity sequence of the clocks in different systems
does not change with the state of motion of the observer). Thus, this measurement method can
be extended to many other clocks, until the fastest clock is found and everybody can reach a
consensus on this. The reference system of this clock is the superior reference system. Now
we are certain that the result of the atomic clock's bi-directional circumnavigation experiment
denies the Theory of Relativity For a more intuitive expression, see Table 1.

Note: The light source inside the atomic clock has no movement relative to the receiver.
Therefore, the time indicated by the atomic clock reflects the emission frequency of the light
source. The velocity sequence of clocks in different systems corresponds to the emission
frequency sequence of the light sources of the same type.
In addition, for the phenomenon that the clock flying westwards is faster than the
stationary clock on the ground, it can be explained more thoroughly by the idea that “an
absolutely stationary system exists and that the clock in absolute motion becomes lower”.
Even Professor Zhang Zhongyuan, who supports Theory of Relativity, admits that the
experiment proves that the slowing down of the clock is not relative. The atomic clock's bi-
directional circumnavigation experiment quantitatively proves that “the moving clock slows
166
down”, but not qualitatively.
3 Sagnac experiment does not fully support the principle of consistency of light velocity.
Sagnacexperiment confirms that the earth's gravitational field has a pulling effect on
photons [4]. Thus, Michelson-Morley experiment fails to prove the principle of consistency of
light velocity. In this situation, the results of Fizeau experiment can be explained by the fact
that water's pulling effect on photons is not 100%. However, it does not confirm the
relativistic velocity composition formula. The principle of consistency of light velocity, like
principles of relativity, has not been proven directly by any experiment. Many people believe
that Sagnac experiment directly proves that the composition of light velocity with the
system's velocity does not conform to the principle of consistency of light velocity. Some
people avoid the interpretation of pulling in order to show that Michelson-Morley experiment
has proven the principle of consistency of light velocity. However, in Sagnac experiment,
there is no relative motion between the light source and the receiver, so it has nothing to do
with Doppler shift. Some people want to explain the experimental results by the general
theory of relativity. However, the gravitational potential difference in the experimental device
can be neglected without compromising the precision. Therefore, the general theory of
relativity cannot be applied here.
Li Huanxin etal. finished an experiment in 2000 on the microwave transmission between
the synchronous satellites over Xi'an, China and Tokyo, showing that the earth's rotation has
an impact on the transmission of light. The time that the light takes to transmit from Xi'an to
Tokyo and to transmit from Tokyo to Xi'an had a difference of 95ns[5]. The environment in
which the photon transmits between Xi'an and Tokyo remains constant and the gravitational
effect can be ruled out. And there is no pulling frequency shift involved here either. Thus, the
results can hardly support the Theory of Relativity: The resultant velocity of light velocity and
the earth surface system is not constant. The result of this experiment is the same with that of
Sagnac experiment, which can be explained by denying the consistency of light velocity.

One of the explanations for aberration is the visual disparity caused by relative motion
between the stationary light source and the moving observer. The second explanation is that
the visual disparity caused by a moving light source and the stationary observer. The former
admits the movement of the observer himself and denies the equivalence of different inertial
systems. If we admit the phenomenon of aberration, the latter will cause the fact that the
resultant velocity of the photon moving in an oblique path is the vector sum of the velocities
in two different directions, and that the resultant velocity will exceed light velocity c (note:
The composition of velocities that does not conform to vector movement principle means the
168
composition of velocities under Lorentz transformation. This is the principle of composition
of two parallel and anti-parallel velocities. It is not the principle of composition of velocities
in two random directions). Therefore, aberration phenomenon does not support Theory of
Relativity quantitatively or qualitatively. In aberration phenomenon, Theory of Relativity and
principle of consistency of light velocity cannot be reconciled.
The light emitted from a star is bended when passing near the surface of the sun. This
experiment is believed to be one of the three major verifications of the general theory of
relativity. If observed from a straight space, the light is attracted by the sun and a longitudinal
movement is composited to its horizontal movement. The measured angle of deflection of
light is φ1 in Figure 7. If the observer moves in the direction vertical to the light, u′y = c
and u′x = υ can be satisfied and the ultra-light velocity composition formula (5) can be
applied.
Zhu Yongqiang from Fudan University invented “positive and negative speedometer of
broken electromagnetic waves”. The measurement of the movement velocity of the system
inside the system is realized based on the
principle that the movement of the light φ 2
electromagnetic waves exist as “isotropic observer; on the contrary, φ1 is the angle observed and irrelevant to the

is also a real object. Ji Hao repeated Bettozzi's experiment, and found the result conformed to
the relativistic mass-energy relationship in low velocity; while in high velocity, the result did
not conform to the relationship[15-17].
The places of other experiments that do not conform to Theory of Relativity are shown
in Table 2.

It can be seen that people have been so careless when analyzing the results of an experiment.
Many experiments partially conform to Theory of Relativity. This is a truth that no one
can deny. However, the existing experiments provide neither qualitative proof for the
principles of relativity nor for the second level micro-scale (i.e. high-order effect) and the
length contraction effect. In fact, many experiments believed to have confirmed Theory of
Relativity only support the theory in some places. If the focus of attention is changed, the
places that do not support Theory of Relativity can be found. In other words, except for a
local experiment, from nearly all the experiments can be found some places that conform to
Theory of Relativity; however, with a changed focus of attention, places that do not support
Theory of Relativity can also be found. When people believe a certain experiment has proven
the Theory of Relativity, this is because they have explained in favor of the Theory of
Relativity when analyzing the experimental results. For quite a long period in the past, people
were careless when analyzing an experiment. It is irresponsible to say that “all the
experiments have proven the Theory of Relativity without exception”. The present paper aims
to change the deeply rooted idea that “all the experiments have proven the Theory of
Relativity without exception”.
Many experiments have some places that support Theory of Relativity and also the
places that do not (many experiments are a double-edged sword for the Theory of Relativity).
This indicates that Theory of Relativity has its right sides and wrong sides. It is time to set to
solve the significant doubts related to Theory of Relativity. Looking into the future, we can
see that renewed and more correct theories will certainly contain the positive research results
of Theory of Relativity.
171
One hundred years has passed since the birth of Theory of Relativity, but the arguments
around it have never stopped and are becoming fiercer. The opposition sides insist on
completely denying Theory of Relativity based on a few experiments, while the supporters
believe that “all the experiments have proven the Theory of Relativity without exception”.
The two sides demand the opposite side to provide new evidences (i.e. new and more
experiments to approve or disapprove the Theory of Relativity). To satisfy these demands is a
waste of research resources.
To search for points that support the Theory of Relativity and points that do not from the
existing experiments is a new and low-cost research method. The conclusion that “except for
a local experiment, all experiments are a double-edged sword to Theory of Relativity, which
indicates that Theory of Relativity has reasonable parts and also problems to be solved” is
more objective and more persuasive. It conforms to the law of development of scientific
theories and can be easily accepted by the two sides. It can put an end to the long lasting
argumentation about the Theory of Relativity, so that scientists can be devoted to solving the
scientific problems related to the Theory of Relativity and the waste of research resources can
be avoided.
The author has found the parts that support and do not support the Theory of Relativity
in atomic clock's bi-directional circumnavigation experiment and the experiment conducted
by Jones et al. The key to the method presented by the author is to change the focus of
attention. The publication of the present paper is the turning point of “dialectical analysis of
experimental results” and “new trend in fundamental research”.

Abstract :According to the “paradox of singularity theorem” proof of concept of time, the
mathematical logic and the prerequisite conditions, based on successive analytical, logical
argumentation about time singularity theorem proving the beginning and the end of the
conclusions cannot be established: Since there is no from the material time, is not start from
the material existence time and the end, so the “singularity” also cannot be regarded as the
time of beginning and ending, “began the singularity theorem” cannot prove the and the end
of time. Therefore, only a matter of existence and nonexistence can begin as time and the end,
only the material existence and non-existence to express (or proof) began its time and end.
This is the expression of the view of time.
Keywords:Singular point, singular point theorem, substances, concept of time
“Singularity theorem” is the Penrose and Hawking proved a mathematical theorem time.
The theorem can be roughly expressed as: As long as the establishment of general relativity,
the causal nature of good material there, on at least one physical process, the existence of its
time to start or end there, or both the beginning and end. The substance of the theorem is: The
establishment of causality, the general theory of relativity is correct, but also the existence of
space-time material, the at least one of the physical processes can be achieved, which in a
limited time before or after the end of the limited time available. In other words, at least one
physical process, it’s time to start, or end, or both the beginning and end. In other words, the
process of at least one time, it's one or two is limited.
Proof of the theorem can be summarized by the process: If there is a type of class-ray or
geodesic in the direction of the future or the past, in the limited distance affine broken, cannot
continue to extend, then, that the root geodesic line was considered to be a time when “The

long as the general theory of relativity is correct, and the establishment of causality, then, any
material time and space, at least there is a singular point.
Singular point of time and space are called space-time singularity. Singular time and
space, even to undermine the singular point, it will not change the nature of space-time
singularity. However, undermine the singular point will stay empty, so that a line any time and
space through this often in this empty broken. Thus, Penrose and Hawking suggested that
simply from the singular point in time and space “removed”, that it does not belong to time
and space, or simply as a singular point of time and space to the “empty” (the hole is not
patched). Accordingly, the Penrose and Hawking proved that the existence of space-time at
least have the following properties of a category or type of light-time curve: Its limited
distance will cut off, and place cut off any means of repair cannot be used to make the curve
can be an extension of the past.
In accordance with the general theory of relativity, because the time curve of Central
Asia, the speed of light (that is, when the geodesic-type) in length can be seen as a movement
along the lines experienced by the material intrinsic time, this curve when empty (that is, the
singular point) cut off, on can be seen as a process of broken this time. Accordingly, the
Penrose and Hawking that the “singularity” is a place cut off time for the process, and thus to
prove that their singularity theorems.
They prove that: In the strong cause and effect in time and space do not necessarily have
the most long-term and, if so, then certainly there is no point conjugate geodesic;
Hyperbolic space and time in the overall, we have the most long-term, and must be non-
conjugate geodesic points;
In general relativity is correct, the establishment of strong energy condition, and at least
one space-time existence of the material point of time and space, the geodesic affine in a
limited distance from the existence of conjugate points must.
Proved in accordance with their conclusions, that is, the causal conditions (including the
hyperbolic space-time) are asking for the longest geodesic, and certainly there is no point
conjugate geodesic; and energy conditions of general relativity and the existence of material
requested in this geodesic line must be conjugate points, and in a limited distance on the
emergence of affine conjugate points.
Clearly, this geodesic cannot be both at the same time satisfy the conjugate points, have
no conjugate points, this condition, which is a contradiction of terms. To resolve this conflict
the only way the conditions are: Do not let this geodesic unlimited extension of conjugation in
the event of it before, in the limited distance affine singular point on the face (i.e.,
syringomyelia) and cut off. In other words, the geodesic will encounter singular point (i.e.,
syringomyelia) and the cut off time will be cut off the course, a certain limited time (the
beginning and the end of time), there must be space-time singularity. In this way, they proved
that the singular point theorem.

I have been studying Einstein's original Work 《On the Electrodynamics of Moving

Body for many years, and have find out 30 unsolved problems of its own theory at least,
Due to space limitation, in this can only give a few examples as follows:
2Six issues among thirty own unresolved issues of Einstein's original workon the
Electrodynamics of Moving Body

It should be noted that we don't have to choose the origin of coordinates as the starting
point of light; we can choose something else, thus the equations above is valid for all the
values of x ` , y, z .
Unresolved Issues: Professor Hua Di says in his book: Then, Einstein substituted his
wrong expressions of moment of τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 into the formula (1) which they cannot meet:
1 x` x` x`
τ (0,0,0, t ) + τ 0,0,0, t + + = τ x ′,0,0, t +

According this wrong derivation, he got:
v

V − v2

In addition, I don’t understand how did Einstein conclude (2) from (1)? I think that only
if (1) is construed as
182
1 x` x ` x`
τ (0, 0, 0, t0 ) + τ 0, 0, 0, t0 + + = τ x`, 0, 0, t0 +
2 c − v c + v c−v
(3)
Assumes x ` to be infinitely small ,for (3),In addition to seeking partial derivative of
x` ,also seems to seeking partial derivative of t by the linkage rule to seek composite
function derivation? , and we know that x ` and t are not independent variables by x `= x − vt ,
as well as x ` is constant or variable for the derivation process? In a word, it’s not correct to
get (2) from (1). Please pay attention here, in order to make his theory appears to be
reasonable , Einstein mix up two concepts here, he replaced the distance x ` by the x` set as
the position of reflect mirror in the Coordinate system intentionally.
According to Einstein’s theory: The equations are valid for all the values of x ` , y, z .
x` x`

May I ask Einstein, What it means when the time turned out to be negative? Is that the
so-called back in time?
,
In paragraph 21 of Einstein's original Work Einstein says: Light (required by
Constancy principle and the principle of relativity jointly) is spreading at speed c in the
dynamic system. When time τ = 0, Shoot out a light along the direction of ξ-increasing, its
equation is

If we substitute this value t into the equation about ξ, we get

Unresolved Issues: Based on context, V = c in (4) then both (4) and (5) will lose their
meaning. Otherwise, if we substitute this value t into the equation about ξ, we get
x` v 1 v c+v v Vc
ξ = aV − 2 2

That is

EQ (6) shows that, if Einstein’s (5) is workable, V = c is a must, this will cause a
contradictory and lose their meaning.
First of all, I recommend that Einstein tries not to mess with the letters in the derivation
process; Secondly, according to Einstein’s theory: Light travels at speed c in dynamic system,
but in the static system, light travels at speed c − v relative to origin k, what is this constancy
principle? So, Einstein changed the values on his will in order to get the result he wants
during his derivation.

According to the Einstein, the formula can be launched, but U and v are value defined

2.5 Self-contradiction between the derivation of A ` = 0 and “infinite strong”
《
In Einstein's original Work On the Electrodynamics of Moving Body , chapter7, 》
he says: You can know from the equation about w` : If an observer is moving at speed v
relative to a light source at frequency v at infinity, and referring to a still system relate to the
light source,
The connect line between the light source and the observer and the velocity direction
of the observer intersection into angle ϕ , we should also find the amplitude of these waves in
dynamic system. If the amplitude of electric power (or magnetic power) measured in static
system and dynamic system are defined as A and A`, then we get:
2

A` = A

If ϕ = 0 , this equation reduces to:
1− v
A` A 1 + v
2 2 c
=
c (9)
From these obtained equations, we can know that for a viewer moving towards the light
187
source at velocity, the light source must appear to be infinite strong.
Unresolved Issues: First, “infinity” is not a determined place, there is no specific
location, which means, and the position of the light source is not identified. Strictly speaking,
there is no practical meaning for this kind of discussion; secondly, it is not clear enough
that ϕ is constant or variable. However, they can be regarded as approximation. Thirdly,
,
strong is purely nonsense.

actually can be punctured easily. It is said that only two-and-a-half man can understand the
theory of relativity back to his time, in fact, it’s not surprising, because a wise man cannot
understand fallacy. It now appears that the two-and-a-half men were certainly pretend.
Einstein's theory of relativity has no scientific value, and it is messing up people's thinking,
hindering the development of science, like scholars say, the theory of relativity is a bunch of
garbage, should be early eradicated

The Theory of Relativity and Cosmology on the Finsler Space-time
CAO SHENGLIN
Department of Astronomy, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, 100875,P.R.China. Email

Abstract: Einstein's theory of special relativity and the principle of causality imply that the
speed of any moving object cannot exceed that of light in a vacuum (c). Nevertheless, there
exist various proposals for observing faster-than-c propagation of light pulses, using
anomalous dispersion near an absorption line, nonlinear and linear gain lines, or tunneling
barriers. However, in all previous experimental demonstrations, the light pulses experienced
either very large absorption or severe reshaping, resulting in controversies over the
interpretation. Recently, L.J. Wang, A. Kuzmich and A. Dogariu use gain-assisted linear
anomalous dispersion to demonstrate superluminal light propagation in atomic caesium gas.
The group velocity of a laser pulse in this region exceeds c and can even become negative,
while the shape of the pulse is preserved. The textbooks say nothing can travel faster than
light, not even light itself. New experiments show that this is no longer true, raising questions
about the maximum speed at which we can send information. On the other hand, the light
speed reduction to 17 meters per second in an ultra cold atomic gas.
This paper shows that if ones think of the possibility of the existence of the
superluminal-speeds (the speeds faster than that of light) and re-describe the special theory of
relativity following Einstein's way, it could be supposed that the physical space-time is a
Finsler space-time, characterized by the metric
ds 4 = g ijkl dx i dx j dx k dx l .
If so, a new space-time transformation could be found by invariant ds4 and the theory of
relativity is discussed on this transformation. It is possible that the Finsler space-timeF(x,y)
may be endowed with a catastrophic nature. Based on the different properties between the ds2
and ds4, it is discussed that the flat space-time will also have the catastrophe nature on the
Finsler metric ds4. The space-time transformations and the physical quantities will suddenly
change at the catastrophe set of the space-time, the light cone. It will be supposed that only
the dual velocities of the superluminal-speeds could be observed. If so, a particle with the
superluminal-speeds v>c could be regarded as its anti-particle with the dual velocity
v1=c2/v<c. On the other hand, it could be assumed that the horizon of the field of the general
relativity is also a catastrophic set. If so, a particle with the superluminal-speeds could be
projected near the horizon of these fields, and the particle will move on the space-like curves.
It is very interesting that, in the Schwarzschild fields, the theoretical calculation for the space-
like curves should be in agreement with the data of the superluminal expansion of
191
extragalactic radio sources observed year after year. (see Cao,1992b)
The catastrophe of space-time has some deep cosmological means. According to the
some interested subjects in the process of evolution of the universe the catastrophe nature of
the Finsler space-time and its cosmological implications are discussed. It is shown that the
nature of the universal evolution could be attributed to the geometric features of the Finsler
space-time. (see Cao,1993)
Key words: Theory of Relativity, Cosmology, Finsler space-time
Introduction
It is known that in his first paper on the special theory of relativity: “On the
Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”, Einstein clearly states (cf. Einstein, 1923) that
‘Velocities greater than that of light have …, no possibility of existence.’ But he neglected to
point out the applicable range of Lorentz transformation. In fact, his whole description must
be based on velocities smaller than that of light which we call subluminal-speed. So, the
special theory of relativity cannot negate that real motion at a speed greater than the speed of
light in vacuum which we call superluminal-speed could exist. In this paper, it is shown that if
we think of the possibility of existence of the superluminal-speed and re-describe the special
theory of relativity following Einstein's way, a new theory would be founded on the Finsler
space-time. The new theory would retain all meaning of the special theory of relativity when
matters move with subluminal-speed and would give new content when matters move with
superluminal-speed. If we assume that the superluminal-speed will accord with the space-like
curves in the general theory of relativity, calculations indicate that the superluminal expansion
of extragalactic radio sources exactly corresponds with the space-like curves of the
Schwarzschild geometry.
Our discussion is still based on the principle of relativity and on the principle of
constancy of the velocity of light which have been defined by Einstein as follows:
1.The laws by which the states of physical systems undergo change are not affected,
whether these changes of state be referred to the one or the other of two systems of
coordinates in uniform translatory motion (see Einstein, 1923;p.41).
2.Any ray of light moves in the `stationary' system of coordinates with the determined
velocity c, whether the ray be emitted by stationary or by a moving body.
Note that these two postulates do not impose any constraint on the relative speed v of the
two inertial observers.
t B − t A = t ′A − t B . (1.1)
2 AB
= c, (1.2)
tB − t A
2 AB c − v, when B is leaving A (a )
= (1.3)
t A − t B c + v, when B is approaching A (b)
Obviously, Equation (1.3a) is not always applicable, it must require v<c, but Equation (1.3b)
is always applicable-i.e., for v<c and v>c Einstein's whole discussion is based on the
following formula:
rAB r
tB − t A = and t ′A − t B = AB . (1.4)
c−v c+v
It must require v<c, because tB -t A must be larger than zero. Particularly, in order to get
the Lorentz transformation, Einstein was based on the following formula (see Einstein, 1923;
p.44)
1
[τ (0,0,0, t ) + τ (0,0,0, t + cx−'v + cx+'v )] = τ ( x' ,0,0, t + cx−'v ) (1.5)
2
where x'
c −v -t , so must require v<c, i.e., B must be the motion with the subluminal-
is just tB A
speed. Then the Lorentz transformation only could be applied to the motion with subluminal-
speed. It could not presage anything about the motion with the superluminal-speed, i.e., the
special theory of relativity could not negate that the superluminal-speed would exist.
In order for our discussion to be applied to the motion with the superluminal-speed, we
will only use Equation (1.3b), i.e., let the point B approach A. Now, let another ray of light (it
193
must be distinguished from the first) start at the `A time' tA1 from A towards B (when B will be
at a new place B1) let it at the `B time' tB1 be reflected at B in the direction of A, and arrive
again at A at the ‘A time’ tA1.
According to the principle of relativity and the principle of the constancy of the velocity
of light, we obtain the following formulas:
1 AB
(t ' A −t A ) = t B − t A = , (1.6)
2 c+v
1 AB1
(t ' A1 −t A1 ) = t A1 − t B1 = , (1.7)
2 c+v
AB − AB1 = v (t A1 − t A ) . (1.8)
Let
where ∆t A , ∆t B , and ∆t ′A represent the temporal intervals of the emission from A, the
reflection from B, and arrival at A for two rays of light, respectively. The symbols of the
temporal intervals describe the temporal orders. When ∆t>0 it will be called the forward order
and when ∆t<0, the backward order.
~
From Equations (1.6) (1.9) we can get
c
∆t B = ∆t A , (1.10)
c+v
and
c−v
∆t ' A = ∆t A . (1.11)
c+v
Then we assume that, if ∆tA>0 i.e., two rays of light were emitted from A, successively we
must have ∆tB>0 i.e., for the observer at system A these two rays of light were reflected by the
forward order from B. But
∆t’A≥0, if and only if v≤c;
and
<
∆t’A 0,if and only if v c. >
It means that for the observer at system A these two rays of light arrived at A by the forward
order only when the point B moves with subluminal-speed, and by the backward order only
when with superluminal-speed. In other words, the temporal order is not always constant. It is
constant only when v<c, and it is not constant when v>c.
194
Usually, one thinks that this is a backward flow of time. In fact, it is only a procedure of
time in the system B with the superluminal-speed which gives the observer in the ‘stationary
system’ A an inverse appearance of the procedure of the time. It is an inevitable outcome
when the velocity of the moving body is faster than the transmission velocity of the signal.
This outcome will be called the relativity of the temporal order. It is a new nature of the time
when the moving body attains the supeluminal-speed. It is known that it is not space-time that
impresses its form on things, but the things and their physical laws that determine space-time.
So, the superluminal-speed need not be negated by the character of the space-time of the
special theory of relativity, but will represent the new nature of the space-time, the relativity
of the temporal order.
2.The chains of the transference of the light tA0, tB0, t’A0; tA1, tB1, t’A1;…. Every chain tAi,
tBi, t’Aimust be a chain of causality -i.e.
1
(t ' Ai −t Ai ) = t Bi − t Ai = t ' Ai −t Bi > 0 . (1.12)
2
If they take a negative sign it will be the backward flow of time and will violate the principle
of causality.
3.The chains of the motion are the rays of the light, which will be reflected at B, but it
will have different features when B moves with different velocity. Let us assume that:
(a) v>0 when B is approaching A;
(b) v<0 when B is leaving A;
(c) c>0 when the ray of light from A backwards B;
(d) c<0 when the ray of light from A towards B.
195
Figure 1-1 The space-time figure
So, if v=0, must have c<0 then
t A( i +1) − t Ai > t B (i +1) − t Bi > t ' A(i +1) −t ' Ai > 0 . (1.14)
t A( i +1) − t Ai > t B ( i +1) − t Bi >| t ' A(i +1) t ' Ai |> 0 . (1.16)
but
When c>0
0 < t A(i +1) − t Ai <| t B (i +1) − t Bi |<| t ' A(i +1) −t ' Ai | (1.18)
and
196
In (1.4) when v>c, tB-t <0 it does not mean that velocities greater than that of light have
A
no possibility of existence but only that the ray of light cannot catch up with the body with
superluminal-speed.

∆t B = ∆t A (1.20)

and

∆t B = ∆t ′A . (1.21)

It has been pointed out that ∆tA and ∆t’A are measurable by observer of the system A, but ∆tB
is immeasurable. Accordingly, the observer must conjecture ∆tB from ∆tA or ∆t’A. In form, ∆tB
in Equation (1.20) and ∆tB in (1.21) are different. If we can find a transformation of
coordinates it will satisfy following equation:
∆τ 2 = ∆t A ⋅ ∆t ' A (1.22)

∆t B2 = ∆τ 2

or

Let ds2=c2dτ2; we get
ds2=c2dτ2=(c2 -v )dt ,

(1.25)
So
197
-
what merits special attention is that ds2=(c2 v2)dt2 and ds2=c2dt2 -dx -dy -dz
2 2 2
are not
identical. Usually, the special theory of relativity does not recognize their difference because
motion with subluminal-speed does not involve the relative change of temporal orders, so the
symbol of ds2 remains unchanged when the inertial system changes.
Now let
where
ds02 = dx 2 + dy 2 + dz 2 (1.29)
then
+ ds v2 + ds 02 , v < c,
ds 2 = 2 2
(1.30)
− ds v + ds 0 , v > c.
Between any two inertial systems
+ ds v2 + ds 02 , v < c,
ds v2 + ds 02 = 2 2
(1.31)
− ds v + ds 0 , v > c.
According to classical mechanics, we can determine the state of a system with
n degrees of freedom at time t by measuring the 2n position and momentum coordinates qi(t),
pi(t), i=1,2,…,n. These quantities are commutative each other, i.e., qi(t)pj(t)=pj(t)qi(t). But, in
quantum mechanics the situation is entirely different. The operators Qop and Pop corresponding
to the classical observable position vector q and momentum vector p. These operators are
non-commutative each other, i.e.,
QP≠PQ.
So, ones doubt whether the quantum mechanics is not a good theory at first. But, ones
discover that the non-commutability of operators is closely related to the uncertainty
principle, it is just an essential distinction between the classical and quantum mechanics.
So, I doubt that whether the non-positive definite metrics ds2 is just the best essential
nature in the relativity theory? But, it was cast aside in Einstein's theory. Now, we could
assume that
Equations (1.32) and (1.33) which are defined as a Finsler metric are the base of the space-
time transformations. From the physical point of view this means that a new symmetry
198
between the time-like and the space-like could exist.
In his memoir of 1854, Riemann discusses various possibilities by means of which an n-
dimensional manifold may be endowed with a metric, and pays particular attention to a metric
defined by the positive square root of positive definite quadratic differential form. Thus the
foundations of Riemannian geometry are laid; nevertheless, it is also suggested that the
positive fourth root of a fourth-order differential form might serve as metric function (see
Rund, 1959; Introduction X).
In his book of 1977, Wolfgang Rindler stated: “Whenever the squared differential
distance dσ2 is given by a homogeneous quadratic differential form in the surface coordinates,
as in (7.10), we say that dσ2 is a Riemannian metric, and that the corresponding surface is
Riemannian. It is, of course, not a foregone conclusion that all metrics must be of this form:
2
One could define, for example, a non-Riemannian metric dσ = dx 4 + dy 4 for some two-
dimensional space, and investigate the resulting geometry. (Such more general metrics give
rise to ‘Finsler’ geometry.)" (see W. Rindler,1997).

It is very interesting that all space-time transformations are applicable to both the
subluminal-speed (i.e.,β<1 or β1>1) and the superluminal-speed (i.e.,β>1 or β1<1). Whether
the velocity is superluminal- or subluminal-speed, it is characterized by minus or plus sign of
their inverse transformations, respectively.
Lastly, all space-time transformations have the same singularity as the Lorentz
transformation when the β=β1=1.
± ∆x' = ∆x 4 1 − 2 β 2 + β 4 , (2.6)
and
2 4
± ∆ x ' = c ∆t 4 1 − 2 β 1 + β 1 , (2.7)
Einstein stated: “For v=c all moving objects - viewed from the ‘stationary’ system -
shrivel up into plain figures. For velocities greater than that of light our deliberations become
meaningless”. However, formula (2.6) can applied to the case for velocities greater than that
of light. Figure 2.1 give the relation between the length of a moving scale L and the velocity.

Differentiating (2.3) or (2.5) and dividing dx’ by dt’ we obtain

dt ' 1 − vv x / c 2 dt ' 1 − vv x / c 2
where
v 2 = v x2 + v y2 + v z2 . (2.12)
From Equation (2.8), we could see that the composition of velocities have four physical
implications: i.e.,
1.A subluminal-speed and another subluminal-speed will be a subluminal-speed.
2.A superluminal-speed and a subluminal-speed will be a superluminal-speed.
3.The composition of two superluminal-speeds is a subluminal-speed.
4.The composition of light-speed with any other speed (subluminal-,light-,
or superluminal-speed) still is the light-speed.
There are the essential natures of the space-time transformation group. The usual Lorentz
transformation is only a subgroup of the space-time transformation group.
It is necessary to point out that if 1-vvx/c2=0, i.e.,
vx = v / c 2 , (2.13)
then v x → ∞ . It implies that if two velocities are dual to each other and in opposite
directions, then their composition velocity is an infinitely great velocity. We guess that it may
well become an effective way to make an appraisal of a particle with the superluminal-speed.
2-3. Dynamics on the ds4 Invariant
The Lagrangian for a free particle with mass m is
L = −mc 2 4 1 − 2β 2 + β 4 , (2.14)
The momentum energy, and mass of motion of the particle are of the forms:

p (v ) = E (v ) or p (v1 ) = E (v1 ), (2.19)
c2 c2
where the relation (2.19) keeps up the same form as the special theory of relativity. But a new
invariant will be obtained as
E 4 + c 4 p 4 − 2c 2 p 2 E 2 = m 4 c 8 . (2.20)
202
The relation (2.20) is correct for both of the v's and the v1's representations. It is a new relation
on the ds4 invariant.
Let us now turn to the equations of motion for a charged particle in an electromagnetic
field, A,Φ, Ee and He. Their Lagrangian is
e
L = −mc 2 4 1 − 2 β 2 + β 4 + Av − eΦ . (2.21)
c
The derivative ∂L / ∂v is the generalized momentum of the particle; we denote it by Pe
e e
pe = mv 4 1 − 2 β 2 + β 4 + A = p + A. (2.22)
c c
where P denotes momentum in the absence of a field.
From the Lagrangian we could find the Hamiltonian function for a particle in a field
from the general formula
H = mc 2 4 1 − 2 β 2 + β 4 + eΦ . (2.23)
However, the Hamiltonian must be expressed not in terms of the velocity, but rather in terms
of the generalized momentum of the particle. From equations (2.2) and (2.3), we can get the
relation
H − eΦ 2 e
[( ) − ( p − A) 2 ] 2 = m 4 c 4 . (2.24)
c c
Now we write the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for a particle in an electromagnetic field in
the Finsler space-time. It is obtained by replacing, in the equation for the Hamiltonian, P by
∂S / ∂r , and H by − ∂S / ∂t . Thus we get from (2.24)
e 2 1 ∂S
[(∇S − A) − 2 ( + eΦ) 2 ] 2 − m 4 c 4 = 0 . (2.25)
c c ∂t
Now we consider the equation of motion of a charge in an electromagnetic field. It could be
written by Lagrangian (2.21) as
d mv e
= eEe + v × H e . (2.26)
dt 4 1 − 2 β 2 + β 4 c
where
1 ∂A
Ee = − − gradΦ, H e = curlA . (2.27)

From (2-26) and (2-29), if we write it in terms of components, it is easy to obtain the space-

Compact germs play an important role in application (see Zeeman, 1977), because any
perturbation of a compact germ has a minimum; therefore if minima represent the stable
equilibria of some system, then for each point of the unfolding space there exists a stable state
of the system.
f (T , X , Y , Z ) = T 4 + X 4 + Y 4 + Z 4 − 2T 2 X 2 + 2Y 2 Z 2 , (3.1)
here T=ct. Equation (3.1) that describes the behavior of the space-time is a smooth function.

As the catastrophe theory, first we must find the critical points of this
f = T 4 + X 4 + Y 4 + Z 4 − 2T 2 X 2 + 2Y 2 Z 2 = 0,
f T′ = ∂f / ∂T = 4T (T 2 − X 2 ) = 0,
f X′ = ∂f / ∂X = 4 X ( X 2 − T 2 ) = 0,
f Y′ = ∂f / ∂Y = 4Y (Y 2 + Z 2 ) = 0,
f Z′ = ∂f / ∂Z = 4Z ( Z 2 + Y 2 ) = 0.

its determinant does not vanish, unless Y=Z=0.
With the Thom theorem (splitting lemma), we could get
f M (Y , Z ) = Y 4 + Z 4 + 2Y 2 Z 2 , (3.2)
f NM (T , X ) = T 4 + X 4 − 2T 2 X 2 ; (3.3)
M 02 = Y 2 + Z 2 ,
and fNM, non-Morse function, is a degenerate form of the double-cusp catastrophe (see
Zeeman, 1977). For another sub matrix of H(T,X,Y,Z)

H (T , X ) = 2 2
= −48(T 4 + X 4 − 2T 2 X 2 ) .
− 8 XT 12 X − 4T
So, the space-time sub manifold M(T,X) will be divided into four parts by the different values
of the H(T,X):
206
H (T , X ) ≠ 0 T2 − X2 <0 spacelike state
(material states ) T 2 − X 2 > 0 timelike state
(3.4)
H (T , X ) = 0 T = ±X lightlike state
(sin gularities ) T = X =0 the origin (in det er min ate).
It means that the light cone is just a catastrophe set on the space-time manifold, and both
thetime-like state and space-like state are possible states of moving particles.
So, from the point of view of the catastrophe theory, the light cone is just a set of
degenerate critical points on the space-time manifold. The space-time is structurally unstable
at the light cone. It means that a light like state could change suddenly into a time-like state
and a space-like state. Also, a time-like state and a space-like state could change suddenly into
a light like state. It very much resembles the fact that two photons with sufficient energy
could change suddenly into a pair of a particle and an anti-particle and contrarily, a pair of a
particle and an antiparticle could annihilate and change into two photons.
According to the nature of catastrophe of the space-time, the space-time transformations
(2.2) could be resolved into two parts at the light cone:
t '+ βc x' x'+vt ' v
t= ,x = , y = y' , z = z' ; β = < 1. (3.5)
2 2
1− β 1− β c
and
In the same way, the transformation (2.4) could also be resolved into two parts at the
light cone:
β1t '+ 1c x' β 1 x'+ ct ' v1
t= ,x = , y = y' , z = z '; β1 = > 1. (3.7)
β 12 − 1 β 12 − 1 c

t= ,x = , y = y' , z = z '; β1 = < 1. (3.8)
1 − β 12 1 − β 12 c
It is very interesting that transformations (3.5) and (3.7) have two major features: Firstly, they
keep the same sign between the ds2 and the ds’2;i.e.:
t − βc x x − vt
t' = , x' = , y' = y, z ' = z; β < 1. (3.10)

β1 − 1 β12 − 1
These transformations keep the same sign between x,t and x’,t’. So, they will be called the
time-like transformations and (3.5) will be called the time-like representation of the time-like
transformation (TRTT), and (3-7) the space-like representation of time-like transformation
(SRTT).
In the same manner, transformations (3.6) and (3.8) have two common major features,
too. Firstly, they will change the sign between ds2 and ds’2,i.e.:
the length of a moving scale ∆x’ measured by a fixed observer (2.6) (2.9) could be resolved~
into two parts:
208
∆x' = ∆x 1 − β 2 , β < 1. (3.15)
The expression for the time increment ∆τ of the clock at rest with respect to the moving
system could be resolved into two parts at the light cone:
∆τ = ∆t 1 − β 2 , β < 1; (3.19)

Note that although all through Einstein's relativistic physics there occur indications that mass

But it is only an Einstein's hypothesis.
It is very interesting that from type I and type IV we could get
Here, we have forgotten the indices for the types in Equations (3.35) to (3.37). If we let the

It is a type II of the double-cusp catastrophe, we could also get (3.36) and (3.37) from it.

and if v0>c, then v>c. The velocity of light will be a bilateral limit: I.e., it is both of the
maximum for the subluminal-speeds and the minimum for the superluminal-speeds.

3.5 The Interchange of the Forces Between the Attraction and the Rejection
Usually, because of the equivalence of energy and mass in the relativity theory, ones
believe that an object has due to its motion will add to its mass. In other words, it will make it
harder to increase its speed. This effect is only really significant for objects moving at speeds
close to the speed of light. So, only light, or other waves that have no intrinsic mass, can
move at the speed of light.
The mass is the measure of the gravitational and inertial properties of matter. Once
thought to be conceivably different, gravitational mass and inertial mass have recently been
shown to be the same to one part in 1011.
Inertial mass is defined through Newton's second law, F=ma, in which m is mass of
body. F is the force action upon it, and a is the acceleration of the body induced by the force.
If two bodies are acted upon by the same force (as in the idealized case of connection with a
massless spring), their instantaneous accelerations will be in inverse ratio to their masses.
Now, we need discuss the problem of defining mass m in terms of the force and
acceleration. This, however, implies that force has already been independently defined, which
is by no means the case.
e
magnetic action on these rays allows us to determine the ratio of the charge to the mass, ,
mel
e
and also their velocity v, and that at first a definite value for was obtained, which was
mel
e
independent of v if v<<c. But, on proceeding to higher velocities, a decrease of was
mel
found. This effect was particularly clear and could be measured quantitatively in the case of
the β-rays of radium, which are only slightly slower than light. The assumption that an
electric charge should depend on the velocity is incompatible with the ideas of the electron
theory. But, that the mass should depend on the velocity was certainly to be expected if the
mass was to be electromagnetic in origin. To arrive at a quantitative theory, it is true, definite
assumptions had to be made about the form of the electron and the distribution of the charge
on it. M. Abraham (1903) regarded the electron as a rigid sphere, with a charge distributed on
the one hand, uniformly over the interior, or, on the other, over the surface, and he showed
that both assumptions lead to the same dependence of the electromagnetic mass on the
velocity, namely, to an increase of mass with increasing velocity. The faster the electron
travels, the more the electromagnetic field resists a further increase of velocity. The increase
e
of mel explains the observed decrease of , and Abraham's theory agrees quantitatively
mel
very well with the results of measurement of Kaufmann (1901) if it is assumed that there is no
incompatible with neither the ideas of the electron theory nor the results of measurement of
Kaufmann. One further matter needs attention: The E and H occurring in the formula for the
force F are supposed to refer to that system in which the electron is momentarily at rest.
3.5.2. The Mass and the Force in the Einstein's Special Relativity
In the Einstein's special relativity, Lorentz's formula for the dependency of mass on
velocity has a much more general significance than is the electromagnetic mass apparent. It
must hold for every kind of mass, no matter whether it is of electrodynamics origin or not.
Experiments by Kaufmann (1901) and others who have deflected cathode rays by
214
electric and magnetic fields have shown very accurately that the mass of electrons grows with
velocity according to Lorentz's formula (3.25). On the other hand, these measurements can no
longer be regarded as a confirmation of the assumption that all mass is of electromagnetic
origin. For Einstein's theory of relativity shows that mass as such, regardless of its origin,
must depend on velocity in the way described by Lorentz's formula.
Up to now, if we support that all kinds of the mass, m, are independent of the velocity v,
but all forces are dependent of the velocity v, it will be incompatible with neither the ideas of
the physical theory nor the results of measurement of physics. Could make some mew
measurements of physics (or some observations of astrophysics) to support this viewed from
another standpoint.
3.5.3.The Interchange of the Forces Between the Attraction and the Rejection
Let us return to the Newton's second law, F=ma, we can see that the product of mass and
acceleration is a quantity anti-symmetric with respect to the two interaction particles B and C.
We shall now make the hypothesis that the value of this quantity in any given case depends on
the relative position of the particles and sometimes on their relative velocities as well as the
where r is the position vector of B with respect to C and r& is the relative velocity. We then
write
m B a BC = FBC . (3.53)
and define the function FBC as the force acting on the particle B due to the particle C. It is
worthwhile to stress the significance of the definition of force presented here. It will be noted
that no merely anthropomorphic notion of push of pull is involved. Eq.(3.53) states that the
product of mass and acceleration, usually known as the kinetic reaction, is equal to the force.
Now, if we explain the experiments by Kaufmann (1901) with here point of view, then,
Feff = F 1 − β 2 .
215
Further, the negative apparent inertial mass could be understood equivalently as the effective
forces of the fields have occurred the interchange between the attraction and the rejection
according to the formula.
Feff = − F β 2 − 1 .
means that when the velocity of the wagon vw is larger the character velocity vc, not that the
horse pulls the wagon, but that the wagon pushes the horse.
If the interactions of the fields traverse empty space with the velocity of light, c, then the
velocity of light is just the character velocity for all kinds of the interactions of the fields. We
guess that the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light is just a superficial
phenomenon of the character of the interactions of the fields.

We hope that could design some new experiments to discover this deviation.
3.6.Decay of particles
On the Einstein’s special relativity theory, consider the spontaneous decay of a body of
mass M into two parts with masses m1 and m2. The law of conservation of energy in the decay,
applied in the system of reference in which the body is at rest, gives,
M = E10 + E 20 . (3.58)
where E10 and E20 are the energies of the emerging particles. Since E10>m1 and E20>m2, the
equality (11.1) can be satisfied only if M>m1+m2, i.e. a body can disintegrate spontaneously
into parts the sum of whose masses is less than the mass of the body. On the other hand, if
M<m1+m2, the body is stable (with respect to the particular decay) and does not decay
spontaneously. To cause the decay in this case, we would have to supply to the body from
outside an amount of energy at least equal to its “binding energy” (m1+m2 -M).
Usually, ones believe that momentum as well as energy must be conserved in the decay
process. Since the initial momentum of the body was zero, the sum of the momenta of the
emerging particles must be zero: p10+p20=0 in the special relativity theory. Consequently
p210=p220, or
The two equations (3.58) and (3.59) uniquely determine the energies of the emerging
particles:
M 2 + m12 − m 22 M 2 − m12 + m 22
E10 = , E 20 = . (3.60)
2M 2M
In a certain sense the inverse of this problem is the calculation of the total energy M of two
colliding particles in the system of reference in which their total momentum is zero. (This is
abbreviated as the “system of the center of inertia” or the “C-system”.) The computation of
this quantity gives a criterion for the possible occurrence of various inelastic collision
processes, accompanied by a change in state of the colliding particles, or the “creation” of
new particles. A process of this type can occur only if the sum of the masses of the “reaction
products” does not exceed M.
217
Suppose that in the initial reference system (the “laboratory” system) a particle with mass
m1 and energy E1 collides with a particle of mass m2 which is at rest. The total energy of the
two particles is
E = E1 + E 2 = E1 + m 2 ,
and their total momentum is p=p1+p2=p1. Considering the two particles together as a single
composite system, we find the velocity of its motion as a whole from (2.19):
p p1
V = = . (3.61)
E E1 + m 2
This quantity is the velocity of the C-system with respect to the laboratory system (the L-
system).
However, in determining the mass M, there is no need to transform from one reference
frame to the other. Instead we can make direct use of formula (3.36), which is applicable to
the composite system just as it is to each particle individually. We thus have
M 2 = E 2 − p 2 = ( E1 + m 2 ) 2 − ( E12 − m12 ),
from which
M 2 = m12 + m 22 + 2m 2 E1 . (3.62)

surfacep4–k0=0:

and
( p42 + k 02 )ψ = 0 . (4.4)
The formula (4.3) is just the Klein-Gordon equation for a free particle. Usually, it is believed
218
that the formula (4.3) describes a pair of a particle and an antiparticle for a meson field. But,
we know from the formula (3.36) that it describes these cases for type Ⅰ and type.Ⅳ of the
space-time transformation; i.e., it describes the time-like representation of a subluminal-speed
particle and the time-like representation of a superluminal-speed particle. However, equation
(4.4) is applicable to these cases for type Ⅱ and typeⅢ of the space-time transformation; i.e.,
it describes the space-like representation of a subluminal-speed particle and the space-like
representation of a superluminal-speed particle.

which equation (4.6) is applicable to these cases for type Ⅰ and typeⅣ of the space-time
transformation; i.e., it describes the time-like representation of a subluminal-speed particle
and the time-like representation of a superluminal-speed particle. However, equation (4.7) is
applicable to these cases for type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ of the space-time transformation; i.e., it
describes the space-like representation of a subluminal-speed particle and the space-like
representation of a superluminal-speed particle.
In the line of Dirac's argument, he began with the equation for a free electron. The
starting relationship is (3.36). Now, we rewrite:
E = c 2 ( p x2 + p 2y + p z2 ) + m 2 c 4 , (4.8)
worthy of note is that it describes these cases for type Ⅰ and typeⅣ of the space-time
transformation: i.e., it describes a time-like representation of subluminal-speed particle and a
time-like representation of superluminal-speed particle in our theoretical system.
Modern quantum electrodynamics is based upon the quantum theory of the
electromagnetic field and the Dirac electron theory, with account taken of direct and reverse
transitions from negative energy to positive energy. The attitude towards the Dirac equation
was somewhat suspicious before the discovery of the positron, while the idea of background
was considered far-fetched and intended only to hide the defects of the theory. But ones forgot
219
those suspicions after the positron was discovered by Anderson. The Dirac's theory describes
an electron and a positron in a completely symmetrical way, but positrons are observed very
littler than the electrons there seem to be no this symmetry in nature. Whether the positron is
just the time-like representation of a superluminal-speed electron?
We hope that theoretical physicists will be interested in the new possible explanation for
antiparticles.

CG(k) depends on only the k state variables. All of its mixed second partial derivatives vanish
at the critical point. The perturbation Pert(k,s), depends on the k state variables and on the s

It is known that the number of + and - signs occurring is called the signature of the
metric in the theory of relativity . But, in ordinary differential geometry, one usually deals
with positive definite metrics, i.e., metrics with signature ++…+. On the other hand, the
metric of space-time has a signature -+++ in the theory of relativity. So, the space-time
metric is a Morse saddle M 14 , and it is must unstable by the Morse lemma. Therefore, we
could say that the metrics of the space-time involved with the structural instability of the
space-time in the Einstein’s relativistic theory.
In general, ones hope that a small change in parameter values of some equations has only
a small quantitative effect on the solutions of these equations. However, under certain
conditions a small change in the value of some parameter has a very large quantitative effect
on the solutions of these equations. Large quantitative changes in solutions describe
qualitative change in solutions describe qualitative change in the behavior of the system
modeled. The system will be called the structural unstable system.
Perhaps, the structural instability of the space-time is just an important nature of the
space-time. However, it was deserted in the theory of relativity. Indeed, the Poincare-Lorentz
transformations (the set of all possible transformations between global inertial coordinates)
consist precisely of the linear transformations which leave signature of metric unchanged.
But, as we pointed out, it is only a subgroup of the transformations group of the space-time
(2.2).
remaining within the framework of classical tensor calculus, we shall represent geometrical
objects by their components with respect to a local coordinate system xi carried by the
background manifold M.
It will be sufficient for usual purposes to stipulate the smoothness of the function F(x,y)
by the following two conditions:
1.The function F(x,y) is at least of class C3 with respect to xi, which makes us assume in
222
turn that the background manifold M itself is at least of class C3.
2. A region M*x exists in each tangent space Mx such that, first, M*x is conic in the sense
that if M*x contains some vector yi1 then M*x contains any other vector collinear with yi1, and
second, the function F(x,y) is at least of class C5 with respect to all non-zero vectors yi ∈ M*x
will be called admissible.
Furthermore, it will be assumed that the function F(x,y) is to be positively homogeneous of
degree one with respect to yi -i.e.,
F(x,ky)=kF(x,y) (5.9)
for any k>0 and for all y M*x, and for any admissible y ,
i i
∂ 2 F 2 (x , y )
det i j
≠ 0. (5.11)
∂x ∂x
Under these conditions, the triple (M,M*x,F(x,y)) is called an N-dimensional Finsler space,
and F(x,y) is called a Finslerian metric function. The value of the metric function F(x,y) is
treated in Finsler geometry as the length of the tangent vector yiattached to the point xi. if a
Finsler space allows a coordinate system xi such that F does not depend on these xi, the
Finsler space and the metric function are called Minkowskian.
It will be noted that, in mathematical works devoted to the Finsler geometry, additional
conditions are usually imposed on the metric function F which ensure the positive
non-zero vector yi ∈ Mx. However, it is clear already in the Riemannian formulation of general
relativity theory that the metric structure of space-time cannot be positively definite, for the
-
space-time metric tensor must be of the indefinite signature ( +++). This reason alone makes
one expect that it is indefinite metrics that may be of interest in a Finslerian extension of
general relativity. Accordingly, we refrain deliberately from imposing the condition of
positive definiteness, thereby admitting that the
Finsler space under study can be indefinite.
As regards the homogeneity condition (5.9) it should be pointed out that the necessity of
postulation (5.9) follows from the invariant notions inherent in any centroaffine space, the
tangent space Mx being an example of such a space. Indeed, the ratio of the lengths of any two
collinear vectors yi1 and yi2 = kyi1 of the centroaffine space may be invariantly defined to be
y 11 y 13
= =L= k ,
y 21 y 22
which does not involve any metric function. Therefore, (5.9) is nothing but the requirement of
consistence of the Finslerian definition of length with the centroaffine definition. The
223
Finslerian metric function is required in order to compare the lengths of non-collinear vectors.
If a fundamental function F(x,y) is defined for all line-elements in the region R(R ⊂ M), it
would be natural to regard F as defining a distance in M, for instance the 'length' of the curve
C between the points P1 and P2 could well be defined by the integral
t2
dx i
I = ∫ x i , dt . (5.12)
t1
dt
More precisely, if A(xi) and B(xi+ dxi) $ are two neighboring points of R, the distance ds
between them is defined by
ds = F ( x j , dx j ), (5.13)
Since F is homogeneous of first degree in the dxi, this would lead to the required integral. In
this manner a metric is imposed on our M.
If, in particular, the function F is of the form
F (x i , x j ) = g ij ( x k )dx i dx j , (5.14)
where the gij(xk) are coefficients independent of the yi, the metric defined by F is the metric of
a Riemannian space.
In this paper we will assume that
(5.15)
An even function form for the dx is i
where
+ 1, i = j ,
e ij = + δ , i ≠ j , i , and , j ≠ 0, 0 ≤ δ ≤ 1,
− b , i ≠ j , i , or , j = 0, 0 ≤ b ≤ 1.
In particular, a degenerate form is
F ( x i ) = 4 [e ij g ij ( x k )dx i dx j ] 2 , δ = 1, (5.17)
∂Z ( x , y )
Z ( x , ky ) = k r Z ( x , y ) implies y i
= rZ ( x , y ) . (5.18)
∂y i
The assertion (5.18) is known in the literature as the Euler theorem on homogeneous
functions.
The application of (5.18) to F2 yields
F 2 ( x , y ) = g ij ( x , y ) y i y j , (5.19)
where
1 ∂2 F 2 (x , y )
g ij ( x , y ) = (5.20)

is called the Finslerian metric tensor, it is a quadratic form. It is very interesting that the
condition (5.11) is just requisite of the Morse lemma.

on some non-zero subset of the space-time manifold M. So, with the Thom theorem (splitting
lemma), we could get
f ( x , y ) = F NM ( x , y ′1 ,L, y ′ k ) + M n −k
( x , y ′ k +1 ,L, y ′ n ), (5.22)
if the matrix ( ∂ 2 F 2 / ∂y i ∂y j
) has k zero eigenvalues and s negative eigenvalues. Then the
FNM ( x , y ′) = Cat ( x , k ),
(5.23)
Cat ( x , k ) = CG ( k ) + Pert( x , k ),
where Cat(x,k), the catastrophe function, is a function of k canonical state variables y1,…,yk
and n canonical control parameters x1,…,xn. The catastrophe function Cat(x,k) has a further
decomposition (another splitting) into two parts CG(k) and Pert(x,k). The catastrophe germ,
CG(x), depends on only the k state variables. All of its mixed second partial derivatives vanish
at the critical point. The perturbation, Pert(x,k), depends on the k state variables and on the n
canonical control parameters.
It is clear that if equation (5.21) is satisfied then as (5.20) it will be held that
det(gij)=0, (5.24)
with the theory of the quadratic form we get
225
ds 2 = g ij dx i dx j
= 0, (5.25)
it is known that (5.25) is just the light cone in the general relativity. On the other hand,
det(gij) > 0 and det(gij) < 0, (5.26)
with the theory of the quadratic form we get
ds2=gijdxidxj>0 and ds2= gijdxidxj<0. (5.27)
So, the space-time manifold M is divided into four parts by the different values of the
det (∂ 2 F 2 ( x , y ) / ∂y i ∂y i
) = Det :
Det ≠ 0 ds 2 > 0 thetimelikestate,

( materialstates ) ds < 0 thespacelikestate;
(5.28)
Det = 0 ds 2 = 0 thelightlikestate
(sin guiarities) dx i = 0 i = 0,1,2,3; theorigin.
From (5.21) and (5.28), it means that the light cone is still a catastrophe set on the curve
space-time manifold M, and both the time-like state and the space-like state are possible states
of moving particles as had been already pointed out in the flat space-time but, here the
catastrophe function has
Pert(x), it is only CG(k) in the flat space-time.
So, we expect that the catastrophe nature will be shown on the horizon of the fields of the
general relativity.

where µ= 1 rs/r =1 2m/r (rs = 2m is called the Schwarzschild radius or gravitational
radius). In this equation and thereafter in this paper, the geometric unit, c= G=1, has been
adopted. It is well known that the geodesic equations followed from (5.29) have three first

We see that the constant A could be taken as different values:
A< 0 for subluminal-speeds (the time-like state),
A= 0 for light speed (the light like state),
A> 0 for superluminal-speeds (the space-like state).
In order to show clearly the catastrophe nature of the Schwarzschild field, we will consider a
motion along radial direction. In equation (5.34) let B=0, we will get
dr
v = = ±µ Aµ +1 . (5.35)

The velocity v is the coordinate velocity obtained by a distant observer. In the general
relativity, generally, a particle can move only with the velocity 0<|v0|<1. So, for a particle far
from the gravitational center, we have

it is the coordinate velocity of light observed by a distant observer. v→0 as r→rs, and v=1

in the catastrophe theory's view, the catastrophe set effected by the perturbation, Pert(x,k),
depends on the k state variables (here is just only r and t, because we consider only a motion
along radial direction in a spherically symmetric and static metric) and on the 4 canonical
control parameters, xi (here is just A and rs).
Integrating equation (5.37) yields
t − t 0 = r + rs ln( r − rs ), A =0 (5.38)

It shows that the particle with continuously move with a velocity v = 1 − a < 1 at infinite

It is very interesting in the case about A>0; it could be produced by the space-time
catastrophe in reference to our theory. With the formula (5.35), if A= 99, then v=10c when
r→∞. It is very interesting that a very small s0’s perturbation could give an enough large
Anearby the horizon. For instance, let µ0=10-9, and v0=(1+5×10-8)µ0, then A=100. So, a
particle will move with a superluminal-speed v=10c at infinity under this condition. We guess
that the horizon is very like a chaotic state.
Figure 5.1 gives graphically the increasing of the particle velocity as a function of the
ln(r/rs), where rs is the Schwarzschild radius, and r is the radial coordinate of the particle.
We can see from Figure 5.2 that a particle moving along a space-like curve will expand
acceleratively with a superluminal-speed. When r= 10rs, the velocity of the particle achieves
about 85% of the maximum velocity vmax= A + 1 , the particle can be attended at infinity.
between a gravitational center and a particle moving with superluminal-speed has the feature
of repulsive interaction. At r> 100rs the interaction varies according to the inverse-square law
approximately, but it is repulsive, and at r≤100rs the inverse-square law is violated.
Integrating Equation (5.35) yields

(5.42)
These results show that the motion of a particle is indeed very different when A has different
values. In particular, from (5.42), we get the rvs. t diagram given in Figures 5.3 and 5.4. In
Figure 5.3, we compare the r-t curves for particles with same gravitational mass (rs= 1 ly) but
different A’s. From this comparison we find that particle with higher beginning velocity has
higher limit velocity at infinity, longer delayed time before expansion and higher acceleration,
and vice versa.
Taking A=143, i.e., vmax=12, but using different value of the gravitation mass at center,
229
rs=10-4,5,10 ly, we get diagram of Fig.5.4. It shows that if particles move out from place just
outside the
Schwarzschild radius then the expansion will be slower for higher central mass. For example,
if rs= 10-4 ly, then a particle moves to r = 100 ly from initial place near the rs takes about 8.33
years. But,if rs= 5 ly, then it should take 45 years.
From equations (5.33) and (5.34) we could get several very interesting results when A>0
for the non-radial motions in the Schwarzschild fields:
1. From (5.33) we see that in the rate of revolution θ& = frac dθdt as a function of r, when
r=rm=1.5×rs. (5.43)
it will get a maximum. So, if the maximum had been found by the observations and from it
determined rm, then rs=rm/1.5.
2. From (5.33) and (5.34) we get
dθ

The idea of a relativistically moving source was first introduced by Rees in 1966 to avoid
the inverse Compton catastrophe implied by the rapid flux variations. It seems that the model
provided an obvious explanation of superluminal motion, but the model appears that it is not
agree in the real observational process. As the picture the model of the relativistic jets means
that a source O, on the one hand it radiation a radio ray with respect to the line of sight, on the
other hand, a relativistic jet is moving with relativistic velocity v at an angle $\theta$ with
respect to the line of sight. Then an observer will first receive a sign at point A, then receive
another sign at point C. The distance between A and C is △r= vt sinθ and the time difference
is △t= t(1 - v
c cosθ). So, an appearance speed is

v app = = .
∆t 1 − β cos θ
As a sportsman ran the 100 meters with the shorter interval time his speed is the faster.
But, VLBI observation is that the distance between the two sub sourcesL1 at the time t1,
become L2 at t2. Then the observational speed vob will be:

the expansion of 3C273 is an accelerated process (see Cao Shenglin & Liu Yongzhen, 1983).

The superluminal acceleration was also directly observed by Biretta (see Biretta et.al.,
1983) and Moore (Moore et.al.,1983) in 3C345.
We suggest that if the superluminal expansion is not apparent but is a real separation with
superluminal-speed, then all observational data may be coincident with the predictions from
the calculations given by (5.42) and (5.45).
To compare the observational data with the results given by calculation we must determine
the parameters A (or vmax), Mg(or rs), and θ& previously. The determination of A, rs and θ& may

After determining the parameters A, rs, and θ& , we may obtain the theoretical r t (or r θ -
for the non-radial case) curves and compare it to observations.
Whether our suggestion is true or not will be tested by observation. All scientific ideas
become valid and of worth only when calculated and measured numerical values agree.

The quasar 3C345 was observed with VLBI networks at frequencies of 10.7 GHz and 22

made for all except the third epoch (see Biretta et al., 1983). It was made at three different
epochs: 1981.25, and 1983.09 at 22 GHz. These data directly show a non-radial superluminal

hybrid mapping and by model fitting) very well by an increase in the separation of the
compact components by 0.09 to 0.16 mas, which corresponds to an angular separation rate of
0.08 to 0.14 mas yr-1” from which we may get r1=2.06ly, v(r1)=4.13 and r2=3.66 ly,
v(r2)=7.23, then we can determine its Schwarzschild radius and limit velocity. With equation

7.1. Introduction
The problems of singularity, horizon, and flatness are of a fundamental nature in
standard cosmology. This somewhat restrictive nature of the early universe situation was first
pointed out by Dicke and Peebles, but was highlighted in the context of GUTs by A. Guth
(1981). Guth's resolution of these problems is through the `inflationary universe'. Its basic
idea is that there was an epoch when vacuum energy was the dominant component of the
energy density of the universe, so that the scale factor grew exponentially. The new
inflationary scenario was proposed by Linde (1982). In order to understand the Planck epoch
and answer the simplest cosmological questions, one can ask `How did the universe begin?'.
Hawking (Hartle and Hawking, 1983) adopted what was called the Euclidean approach to
quantum gravity. In that one performed a path integral over Euclidean i.e., positive definite
240
-
metrics rather than over metrics with Lorentzian signature ( +++) and then analytically
metrics (+ + + +) to the Lorentzian regime ( - + + +), it means that space is more natural than
time.
It shall be shown that the creation of space-time and the inflation could be attributed to the
geometric feature of the two evolutionary processes of the universe are a natural array and the
time and the space have equal rights in this model.
Ya. B. Zel'dovich (1970) proposed an explanation of the formation of clusters of dust like
material that is mathematically equivalent to the analysis of the formation of singularities of
caustics. So, the formation and the large-scale distribution of the galaxies could be discussed
by the theory of the singularities and bifurcation of caustics in the 3-dimensional space.
ds = 4 dT 4
+ dX 4
+ dY 4
+ dZ 4
+ 2 hdY 2 dZ 2
− 2 hdT 2 dX 2
. (7.1)
For convenience, let us consider only the 2-dimensional case, and let
ds = 4 dT 4
+ dR 4 − 2 hdT 2 dR 2 , 0 ≤ h ≤ 1. (7.2)
It is a type of the double cusp catastrophe, and has a different catastrophe feature when h
takes different values. Now, we will discuss its cosmological implications.
ds = 4 dT 4
+ dR 4 . (7.3)
According to the catastrophe theory, germ X4+R4 is compact. As the catastrophe theory,
Compact germs play an important role, because any perturbation of compact germ has a
minimum; therefore if minima represent the stable equilibria of some system, then for each
point of the unfolding space
there exists a stable state of the system. On the other hand, the equation T4+R4=0 has zero real
roots, so nothing will be observable in the space-time manifold, M(T,R)=T4+R4. But, M(T,R)
241
has evolution, and like the catastrophe theory, and it will be divided into four parts by
different values of the stability matrix H(T,R):

12T 0
H (T , R ) = = 144T 2 R 2 (7.4)
0 12 R 2
and
T 2 R 2 < 0, the seed of the time ,
T 2 R 2 > 0, the seed of the space,
(7.5)
T 2 R 2 = 0, the catastrophe set ,
T = R = 0, the origin.
Here, it shows that the creation of space-time has two natures on the Finsler space-
timeds4=dT4+dR4. On the one hand, the space and the time are created together, on the other
hand, the space will be a stable state but the time will be an unstable state of the space-time
manifold. So, ones could say that the space is a representation for the constant nature of
materiality, and the time is a representation for the indeterminate variable nature of
materiality.
ds = 4 dT 4
+ dR 4 − 2 hdT 2 dR 2 , 0 < h < 1. (7.6)
It is a type of the double cusp catastrophe too, and can describe the inflation of the universe.
According to the four real roots of the stability matrix H(T,R,h) the space-time manifold,
M(T,R), could be divided into nine parts.
f ( x , y ) = ax 4 + 4bx 3 y + 6cx 2 y 2
+ 4dxy 3
+ ey 4
(7.7)
for (a,b,c,d,e) ∈ R5 (In the old textbooks this form is called ‘with binomial coefficients’.)
Let G=GL2(R), the natural left action of G on the variables induces a right action of G on
x
R5, as follows: If f corresponds to the form (7.7), g ∈ G, and v = , then
y
(fg)v=f(gv). (7.8)
What this means is that we change variables by g, expand the result, and collect up according
to the terms in x4, x3y, …,etc. to get a new quartic form.
A polynomial p in (a,b,c,d,e) is said to be an invariant if
p(fg)=p(f)·(detg)k
242
for a fixed positive integer k, where det g is the determinant of g. The integer k is the weight
of the invariant. If p is a rational or algebraic invariants: k need no longer be a positive
integer. Of especial importance are the absolute invariants for which k=0. The reason is that
these are constant along G-orbits, so give us information on where the orbits lie.
The quartic form (7.7) has two basic invariants
S = ae − 4bd + 3c 2
(7.9)
T = ace + 2bcd − ad 2 − b 2 c − c 3
of weights 4,6 respectively. They are basic in the sense that every invariant can be expressed
as a polynomial in S and T. For example the discriminant of (7.7) is the invariant
∆ = S 3 − 27T 2
(7.10)
of weight 12.
In terms of the complex variable
z=x+iy
the action of Γ is given by
zgθ=eiθz. (7.11)
Then, the form (7.7) can be expressed uniquely as
f ( x , y ) = Re(αz 4 + βz 3 z + γz 2 z 2 ) (7.12)
for α , β ∈ C , γ ∈ R .
We could get explicit formulae for the change of coordinates from (a,b,c,d,e) to (α,β,γ):
a = αR + βR +γ
b = α I + 12 β I d = −α I + 12 β I (7.13)
1
c = −α R + γ 3 c = αR − βR +γ
α R = 18 (a − 6c + e ) α I = 12 (b − d )
β R = 12 (a − e ) β I = b + d (7.14)
γ = 38 (a + 2c + e )
where α=αR+iαI, β=βR+iβI, with αR, αI, βR, βI ∈ R.
We could study the real algebraic set V in R5 given by
0=△=S3 -27T 2
(7.15)
| α | 2 + | β | 2 +γ 2 = 1 (7.16)

W =V I S

(α , β , γ ) g θ = ( e α ,e β , γ ).
Hence, Γ-acts orthogonally, rotating the α-plane 4 times, the β-plane twice, and fixing γ.
We let P be the projection of W from the origin into the cylinder K=S1×R3 given by α=1.
The 2-sphere S2 in S4 given by
α=0, |β|2+γ2=1,
which the projection `blows up' to infinity. We let
W ∞ =W I S 2 , W 1 =W −W ∞ .
Then W1 is diffeomorphic to P, so we must describe P, W∞, and how the two fit together.
The cylinder K is invariant under Γ. We let H be the subset of K for which α=1. Then
K=S1×H, where S1 is the circle |α|=1, β=γ=0. The group Γ acts by rotating S1 four times,
rotating the β-plane twice, and fixing the hyper planes γ=constant. Thus P is the orbit of
Q=P I H under Γ. In fact we need consider only the first half of Γ, where 0≤θ≤π. This rotates
once around S1 and gives the β-plane in H a half-twist.
The set Q decomposes into a subset Q’, corresponding to coincident real roots of f, and a
tiny extra piece corresponding to equal complex roots.
Q’ is given parametrically by
1 − 3 iϕ
β = (− 3e iϕ
+ e − 2γe − iϕ
). (7.17)

where is a parameter, 0≤φ<2π.
The equation (7.17) yields ‘almost all’ of Q.
When γ=0, (7.17) become

it represents the motion of a point obtained by superimposing an anticlockwise rotation in a
circle of radius 3/2 and a clockwise rotation at three times the speed in a circle of radius 1/2.
For each γ1, the curve Qγ is the locus of a point lying distance γ along the normal to the
244
swallowtail catastrophe.
A point (1,β,γ) ∈ H corresponds to a quartic with two equal pairs of roots if and only if
either
In case (i) the roots are real if |βI|≤4, complex if |βI|>4. In case (ii) the roots are real if |βR|≤4,
complex if |βR|>4.
Q’ is semi algebraic, whereas Q is algebraic. This presence of absence of whiskers is a
common phenomenon in real algebraic geometry.

As has been said in this paper, from the expressions (3.25) (3.28) it is clear that, no matter

when β→0.
So the particle with superluminal-speed, in the time-like representation, will remain a
negative ‘rest-mass’. We shall write:
+ mc 2 for sublu min al − speed , i .e ., v < c (or v 1 > c ),
E = (7.22)
− mc 2 for sup erlu min al − speed , i .e .,v > c (or v 1 < c ).
It was just analyzed by Dirac for the anti-particle. So, we guess that a particle with the
superluminal-speed v>c could be regarded as its anti-particle with the dual velocity v1=c2/v<c.
(8) If we suppose that the usual space-time is the Finsler space F(x,y), then space-time
possesses a catastrophic nature. In particular, the space-like curves in the general theory of
relativity will have some observational meaning.
(9) The model of relativistic jets could not to explain superluminal motion. But, the
observed superluminal expansion by and large corresponds to the motion along the space-like
curve in the Schwarzschild field. If so, we guess this expansion is a real motion with the
superluminal-speeds; the results given by calculation coincide with observations very well.
(10) Under the same assumption, we may estimate the masses of central objects. The

New Explanation of Advance of Planetary Perihelion
and Solar System’s Vortex Motion
Fu Yuhua
(CNOOC Research Institute, E-mail:[email protected])
Introduction
Many scholars believe that general relativity does not end the studying for
problem of advance of planetary perihelion, because there are many factors
affecting the advance of planetary perihelion, it still needs to continue to study
this issue. This paper presents a new explanation: The advance of planetary
perihelion is the combined result of two motions. The first elliptical motion
creates the perihelion, and the second vortex motion creates the advance of
perihelion. Finally the approximate expression for circular velocity of solar
system’s vortex motion is presented. For ordinary vortex motion the circular
velocity is inversely proportional to the radius r, but for solar system’s vortex
motion, it is inversely proportional to r3/2.
249
1 Result of general relativity
According to general relativity, the value of advance of planetary
perihelion reads [1]
24π 3a 2
ε= 2 2
T c (1 − e 2 )
(1)
where: c is the speed of light; T, a, and e are orbital period, semi-major axis
and eccentricity respectively.
Although the explanation of general relativity for the advance of planetary
perihelion is reasonably consistent with the observed data, because its orbit is
not closed, whether or not it is consistent with the law of conservation of
energy has not been verified. In fact, this verification is very difficult, so for
many years it has been left without anybody to care for.

According to Kepler's third law, it gives

where: G is the gravitational constant, and M is the solar mass.
Then Eq. (2) can be rewritten as
3G 3 / 2 M 3 / 2
ω = 5/ 2 2

According to this expression we can see that, the angular velocity of

4 The circular velocity of solar system’s vortex motion
We already pointed out that, the reason for the advance of planetary
perihelion is the vortex motion taking the sun as center. Now we discuss the
circular velocity of this vortex motion at the position of radius r.
Assuming that the angular velocity of solar system's vortex motion is
approximately equal to the angular velocity of advance of planetary perihelion,
and in Eq.(3) the value of a is replaced by the radius r, moreover the
eccentricity e is omitted, then apply the formula v = rω , it gives the circular
velocity of this vortex motion at the position of radius r as follows
v≈
3G 3 / 2 M 3 / 2
r 3 / 2c 2
(4)
From this expression we can see that, unlike the ordinary vortex motion
(its circular velocity is inversely proportional to the radius r), for solar system’s
vortex motion, the circular velocity is inversely proportional to r3/2.

Abstract: The present article discuses the problems of new unitary quantum view of
the world in its applications to the different aspects of the reality. There are spectacular
examples of the new Unitary Quantum world view considered in the applications for
different aspects of reality.
Introduction
It seems that the majority of researches have absolutely forgotten the fact that one of
the master-spirits of contemporary world, A. Einstein, till the end of his life had not
adopted the standard quantum mechanics at all. Better to cite his well-known words:
“Great initial success of the quantum theory could not make me believe in a dice
game being the basis of it…I do not believe this principal conception being an
appropriate foundation for physics as a whole… Physicists think me an old fool, but I
am convinced that the future development of physics will go in another direction than
heretofore… I reject the main idea of modern statistical quantum theory… I’m quite
sure that the existing statistical character of modern quantum theory should be
ascribed to the fact that that theory operates with incomplete descriptions of physical
systems only”.A.Einstein (back translation).
At the first stage of quantum mechanics evolution in the frame of classical physics’
253
theory the mechanism of corpuscular-wave dualism was not discovered at all, as it
was done later in the UQT (Sapogin,1979,1980,2011; Sapogin at all, 2003, 2005,
2008a). It’s worth a surprise that the super abstract quantum ideology ad hoc designed
by Niels Bohr was suitable in general for the description of quantum reality. An
explorer did contradict anything by strictly using new frequently paradoxical quantum
rules, and any paradox could be removed by the simple prohibition of its analysis.
Although many researches tried to solve these problems they were not successful.
The outspoken interpretation of quantum theory had become out of any criticism.
More over the determination of simulators describing one of the sides of quantum
reality had been announced as the main target of quantum science, while the picture in
figures and a-going had become simply an optional target.
Nevertheless one general philosophic problem had been remaining: the dual principles
of the fundamental physics. There were particles – the points being the source of a
field that could not be reduced to the field itself, the researches did not do their
utmost, though. Introduction of this micro-particle had resulted in a wide range of
different divergences - anybody knows that electric power of a point charge equals
infinity. A lot of ideas had appeared, absolutely brilliant ideas from mathematical
point of view, suitable for these appearing infinities abolishing. We can use as a cover
the words of P.A.Dirac: “…most physicists are completely satisfied with the existing
situation. They consider relativistic quantum field theory and electrodynamics to be
quite perfect theories and it is not necessary to be anxious about the situation. I
should say that I do not like that at all, because according to such ‘perfect’ theory we
have to neglect, without any reason, infinities that appear in the equations. It is just
mathematical nonsense. Usually in mathematics the value can be rejected only in the
case it were too small, but not because it is infinitely big and someone would like to
get rid of it.”Direction in Physics, New York, 1978(back translation).
The substantial success of the quantum mechanics (particularly in the stationary
cases) was based on the simple correlation of de Broglie wave length and geometric
properties of potential. Formally the particle was considered as a point; in other case
it was difficult to add probability amplitude character to the wave function. But the
point-character of a charge as well the principle of Complementarity did not allow to
go ahead in the elementary particles structure and thus the further development of the
quantum theory of the field in the frames of the assumed paradigm had resulted in
total fiasco of the field quantum theory itself.
There is another concept in physics; it comes from W.Clifford, A.Einstein,
E.Schrödinger and Louisde Broglie in which the particle is considered as a bunch
(wave packet) of a certain unified field. The position of associates of the concept
would be expressed the most clearly by the following words of A.Einstein: “We could
therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field
is extremely strong. A thrown stone is, from this point of view, a changing field in
which the states of the greatest field intensity travel through space with the velocity of
the stone… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and the
matter, for the Field is the only reality... and the laws of motion would automatically
254
follow from the laws of field.” (back translation).By (M. Jemmer, 1961) definition if
the particle is a wave packet, so this consideration is called unitary.
The first articles concerning this matter were published in (Sapogin,1973,1979,1980).
The entire term unitary belongs to who has classified quantum waves’ theories. The
term unitary he correlated with the theories that represent particle as a wave packet. In
Unique Quantum Theory a particle is described as a wave packet that in its movement
is periodically spreading along the Metagalaxy and is gathering again. For such
moving wave packet both the relativistic and the classical mechanics follow from
these unitary quantum equations, probably the Maxwell equations and the
gravitation follow from exact UQT equations (Sapogin at all,1984, 2005, 2008), but
this has not been proved yet being the problem of the future. Nevertheless the UQT
scalar equation (a telegraph type) in general makes it possible to obtain not only
Schrödingerbut also Maxwell equations. But for this purpose for the derivation of the
scalar unitary telegraph equation we should assume imaginary the resistance of
derivation and shunt conductance that physically is not so clear.
The field of investigations of the Unified Unitary Quantum Theory (UUQT) is the
most profound level of substance: the level of elementary particles and quantum
effects.
As well known all particles have besides corpuscular properties wave properties too
(particles can interfere with each other or with themselves), and their behavior is
described by means of the wave function. In the case of a particle moved in the free
space, the wave function is described as deBroglieplanewave which wavelength is
inverse to the momentum of the particle. If the particle is slowing down or
accelerating by applied fields then its wavelength is increasing or decreasing,
respectively. The wave itself has no physical interpretation, but the squared value of
its amplitude is proportional to the probability to find the particle in a defined place.
That is why these waves are also called “waves of probability” or “waves of
knowledge”, etc.
There is another problem: the particle has no exact value for coordinate and for
momentum at the same time, although either value could be measured arbitrarily
closely (uncertainty relation). That is why the definition of trajectory of a quantum
particle has no sense.
As opposed to the laws of the classical physics with its determinism where one can
predict results of the motion of separate particles, in the quantum theory one can only
predict the probability of the behavior of separate particles. Even the nature does not
know the way a particle goes by in the case of diffraction by two slits.
255
But it is not the most depressing. The Quantum Physics has wave-corpuscle dualism
as well as field dualism and matter dualism. All particles act as sources of field, but it
appears that they are only points which have no relation to these fields, and one can’t
tell anything in concrete about them.
Let us continue to confuse the reader. We shall consider an extremely simple
experiment with single particles in the terms of the modern quantum theory. It will
allow us to understand what is going on and will be useful for us in the future.
Let single photons fall on a semitransparent mirror directedat the angle of 45
degrees to their stream. Semitransparent means that a half of the falling light is
reflected and another one passes by. Photon counters are installed on the paths of
reflected and passed rays – Fig. 1. In the terms of the wave theory everything is
simple: an incident wave will be reflected and will be passed partially. But particles as
they are indivisible have to be reflected or be passed by. If a counter of reflected
beam’s particles registers an event it’s evidently to suppose that the second counter
will register nothing. It is easy to see that if one will re-unite passed and reflected
beams and sends them to the screen then...it'sallabout the way how we are going to
argue. Fromthewavetheorythere will be an interference pattern, but
fromthecorpusculartheory it will not occur. In fact, an interference pattern is
observed in experiments even for single photons, and our suppositions are wrong to
say the least. In order to spare the doubts about how is it possible, it is better to
forbid one to think about it. And the principle of complementarity in the modern
physics does it in any case. It allows to ask only the questions for which it’s possible
to give an answer by experimentally only. When one tries to find a particle it means
that one rejects to observe the interference pattern and vice versa. Asthough we could
know from experiment either a particle has passed by or has been reflected, we would
realize the “real particle behavior”. But it’s impossible to do by the means of macro-
instruments.
The principle of complementarity makes the quantum physics descriptively
inaccessible. “There are many experiments, that we just cannot explain without
considering the wave function as a wave that influences on the whole region and not
as particles appearing “may be here, may be there”, as it is possible in the terms of
the clearly probabilistic point of view”(E.Schrödinger). Inotherwords a wave acts in
the whole area simultaneously, not “may be here, may be there”, otherwise there
wouldn’t be any diffraction or interference.
Eventually we have to admit that the prohibitions of the principle of complementarity
respond to the weakness philosophy, and the role of this principle is obviously
analogous to the role of a calorie, a phlogiston and other obsoleteconcepts.
256
Unified field theory approach
Let us ask the questions that are forbidden by the principle of complementarity. What
is the wave of an electron? What is the behavior of an electron “indeed, when nobody
looks at it?” (its natural behavior?) How does it manage to go through a potential
barrier when its energy is less than the barrier height (tunneling effect)? How does it,
as it is indivisible, go simultaneously by two slits which are divided by a great
distance in comparison with its own size? How is an atom of hydrogen constructed at
the lowest energy state (s-state)? How can the probabilistic consideration of a wave
function result from the mathematicalformalism of the theory? Why is the actual
Quantum Mechanics reversible? This is a primary law, and the irreversibility has to
follow from it for dispose the paradoxes in the statistical mechanics. Last but not
least: how is the electron itself constructed, that point described in the terms of
probability? This is a huge complex of mysteries. All (or almost all) physicists
resigned and even prefers not to speak about it. But there is also someone who does
speak. Paul Langevin even called the formalism of Quantum Mechanics with its
principle of complementarity the “intellectual debauch”.
E. Schrödinger wrote that he “was happy for three months” when he had got the idea
to consider the particle as the packet (bunch) of de Broglie waves – until the English
mathematicianDarwin proved that the packet would spread and vanish.But the trouble
of all of these attempts (E.Schrödinger, Louis de Broglie, etc) was the fact that they
always tried to construct it by means of de Broglie waves with such dispersion that
any wave packet has to spread. The including of nonlinearity (Louis de Broglie) just
extremely complicated the problem but didn’t solve it.
The critical feature of the Unified Unitary Quantum Theory (UUQT) is the fact that it
describes the particle as a bunch (packet) of certain unified field, but not as a
questionable structure of the de Broglie waves of probability.
For “spying upon” for what the particles do which we consider as very small bunch of
the real field, let us consider a Hypothetic Observer (HO) which is able to measure the
parameters of fields of tracing particles with the hypothetic microprobe, and
dimensions of microprobe are much less than the dimensions of the particles. The
result of these measurements will be a certain structure function that describes bunch
of the real field. Obviously, this hypothetic HO and microprobe couldn’t exist, but our
thought experiments will be as simple as possible.
257
If we choose the dispersion of these partial waves equal to linear, we could have an
extremely curious process, which mathematical formulation never appears before. If
we have dispersion, then harmonic components of partial waves propagated with
different velocities will result in spreading of the wave packet over all space or over
all Metagalaxy.
Mathematical investigations show that the spreading goes on without any changes of
the form of the wave packet; but at the end, there is a moment when a wave packet
vanishes at all. Where does its energy disappear to? It remains in the form of
harmonic components that set up a certain background in any point in the space. As
these waves are not damped and continue to propagate with velocity of their own,
then afterawhile the wave packet begins to revive in another point, but its sign will be
changed at that. During the motion, the packet will appear and disappear periodically
– Fig. 2.
The envelope of this process is locus of points, locus of points of its maximum, it is a
sinusoidal quantity and it rests in all reference frames; in other words, its phase
velocity is equal zero in any reference frame, i.e. it’s relativistically invariant (only by
means of it the results of the relativistic dynamics are absolutely correct). If we
change a reference frame, we will receive a different value of wavelength of the
envelope, but it will be motionless as well. As the computing shows the wavelength of
the envelope is exactly equal to de Broglie wavelength, and the dependence of this
wavelength on packet velocity is the same! As you see, all the Unified Unitary
Quantum Theory is occupied with the resolute exploiting of this basic idea.

Within the motion there arising de Broglie vibrations with frequency due to
have no influence on experiment and all quantum phenomena result from de Broglie
and particle will obtain absolutely new low-frequency envelop with wave length
This is a new wave. In ultra-relativistic limit case the value of becomes much
greater as typical dimension of quantum system it (new wave) interacts with. Now the
length of new wave grows with energy contrary to de Broglie wave length slowly
decreasing, and particle requires the form of quasi-stationary wave packet moving in
accordance with classical laws.
That explains the success of hydrodynamics fluid theory concerning with numerous
particle birth when the packet having extremely big amplitude is able to split into
series of packets with smaller amplitudes. But such splitting processes characterize
not only high-energy particles. Something like this takes place at small energies also,
but overwhelming majority of arising wave packets are under the barrier and so will
not be detected. It would be perfect to examine by experiments at future accelerators
the appearance of such new wave with the length growing together with energy.
(Sapogin,1979,1980, 2010,2011; Sapogin at all,2003,2005,2008).
If the HO places at the way of motion of the wave packet quite a number of his
microprobes, then due to the dispersion spreading’s and rebuilding’s he can observe
the envelope of this process, and all of this will not be at variance to the general
259
Quantum Mechanics, as this envelope corresponds with the wave function.
This figure, a sinusoidal envelope with a regular shape, can be seen by the HO in the
only case: if the only single particle would exist in the world. But the real world
consists of an enormous number of particles moving each other with different
velocities. The partial waves (harmonic components) of those particles which have
vanished at this moment can be summarized and emerge real fluctuations of the field
or in other words the vacuum fluctuations that will act in a random manner. These
fluctuations could destroy all idyllic character of measurements of our HO
(Hypothetic Observer) for single particle in Universe– the sinusoidal envelope will be
distorted by vacuum fluctuations and it will be difficult to separate it clearly.
Any wave packet that is described in the terms of the “becoming” structural function
could be decomposed by means of Fourier transforming into plane sinusoidal (partial)
waves. These waves are infinitely many, and their amplitude is infinitesimal. If we
summarize them it will emerge zero everywhere except of the area occupied by the
structure function. Thus the structure function could be represented either as a
function of time (time representation) or as a function of an amplitude of harmonic
components related to frequency (spectral representation). It is absolutely equivalent
to mathematical representations.
Quantum measurements
Let us try to consider real instruments, which are always macroscopic. Atomic nuclei
and electron shells are situated very near to each other and form a very numerous, but
260
discrete series. A transition from the one such a state to another is a quantum jump.
That is why the absorption and emitting of energy between the atomic systems is
carried out by means of the quanta.
However, it doesn’t mean that in the motion process the quantum or the particle
propagates as something constant and indivisible. The energy of the particle can be
divided or changed by vacuum fluctuations. The wave packet of a photon, for
example, can, in the issue of the overlapping of vacuum fluctuation, turn into meson
at short time, and photon can “disguise” oneself as a proton or as a neutron. It’s
assumed in the ordinary quantum field theory that a proton has “an atmosphere”
mesons; it follows from the interpretation of the results of its collisions with another
particles. There is no mesons atmosphere indeed. A proton appears and disappears
during its motion constantly at the de Broglie wavelength, and its mass changes
periodically from the double value of a proton’s mass to zero, taken on the
intermediate values of mesons masses.
Eventually, all of the quantum measurements are based on energy absorption and
present inconvertible processes(Sapogin, 1979, 1980). For every instrument founded a
particle will operate, a quantum of energy is needed at least, thus it is a threshold
energy of instrument defining its responsivity. By the way, we would like to notice
that our HO (Hypothetic Observer) uses the instruments with zero threshold energy
that is why it can register even vacuum fluctuations.
Let us consider the process of interaction of a particle with a macro-instrument
(Sapogin, 1982ab). As the particle is a wave packet then its energy is proportional to
the intensity of the packet, but it can be changed because of periodic spreading’s and
appearances. Besides the packet itself can be divided during the interactions. For
macro-instrument could register a particle it has to wait for a moment when the total
energy of the particle and of the fluctuation of the atom would be more or equal to
threshold energy. It is clear that the probability of the operation of the apparatus will
be proportional to the amplitude of the wave packet, or more exactly, to the value of
intensity of the envelope of the wave function. If the wave packet with a too low
intensity in comparison with threshold energy of the macro-instrument approaches to
the macro-instrument, the great fluctuation of vacuum is required, but the probability
of such an event is too small, and it means that the probability to detect the particle is
small too (Fig. 4).
The uncertainty relation arises because energy and impact are not constants, but they
periodically change because of the dispersion disappearance and appearance of the
particle(Sapogin at all, 2003,2005,2008a). Besides because of statistical laws of
measurements with macro-instruments, there is no any way to measure anything
accurately, because of the unpredictable fluctuations of the vacuum. HO (Hypothetic
Observer) could predict the coordinate, the momentum or the energy of the packet, if
he would be the only one in the Universe, i.e. in the case of absence of the vacuum
fluctuations.
The presence of unpredictable vacuum fluctuations makes all of the laws of the
micro-world principally static for any observer. An accurate prediction of expected
events requires an accurate knowledge of the vacuum fluctuation in any moment of
time, what is impossible, because it is necessary to have the information on the
structure and the behavior of any packet (particle) in the universe and to control their
motion. The mechanical determinism of Laplace went absolutely lost in the modern
physics as well as in the future one. Maxwell was right when he told, “the true logic
of the universe is calculation of the probabilities.”(back translation).
The envelope of partial waves, occurring due to linear transformations at the wave
packet and being “in the ruins” of splitting of the packet corresponds to Huygens
principle. It explains how the relating of a moving particle with a monochromatic de
Broglie wave is formally possible, propagating in the direction of the motion, and
with all wave properties. There are partial waves that we consider as participants of
diffraction and interference, but due to the principle of superposition we get the same
result as if it a de Broglie wave would participate at the process.
The new linear equations of the UUQT allow the time inversion with simultaneous
replacingofthewavefunctionwitha conjugated one, with the formal reversibility.
Actually this reversibility takes place just in the case if the Universe consisted of the
only one particle, as in the real world the recovering of the previous vacuum
fluctuation is also needed for the total reversibility of the process. But there is a
simultaneous reversibility of all processes in the Universe required for it that is
impossible. It doesn’t mean that quantum processes are inconvertible, just the
reversibility has a static character, butnow direction of the current of time defines
entropy only.
262
The envelope, introduced before, is accurately monochromatic, but it doesn’t exist as
a traveling plane wave with such properties in the reality. Though it is related to the
energy of the particle, the following definitions, such as “waves of the probability”,
“waves of the knowledge”, could be related with it too. In contrast to the general
quantum theory, now a very important phase is coming. It is the most easy to show it
at the tunneling effect.
Now let us return to the experiment with the semitransparent mirror, discussed above.
In terms of the described point of view, the wave packet (particle) will be divided at
the mirror and enter in every beam, that depends on the packet phase near the mirror
and on the structure of the mirror in this place. We have, in general, two not equal
wave packets – “fragments” with less values of the amplitude that can interfere. The
changing of the parts of the fragments doesn’t follow by because all process are
linear, i.e. they are not dependants on amplitude. Besides the probability of detecting
of the fragments is reduced, because an appreciable fluctuation of the vacuum is
necessary for arising of threshold of detection of the counter. Consequently, in the
results of the measurements the particles have to be lost or be observed as single
particles in both of the beams simultaneously. The creation of two particles from a
single is not a confusing fact, because the energy of the fragments will be
reconstructed to the necessary level by means of the vacuum fluctuation.
If we will collide particles of any kind, and if in the colliding point one or two
particles are vanished, then they have to go against another without any interaction.
Indeed, in the proton-proton interactions 6% of the particles don’t interact, but “go
through” the others.
An analogous effect takes place in the atom of hydrogen in the state of minimum of
energy. It is well known that this s-state is not rotational, and Bohr-Sommerfeld’s
atom model describes the spectrum strictly in the relativistic case. If we apply this
model to the s-state of the electron, we will obtain that the paths of the electron pass
through the nuclear, and they were early excepted as absolutely absurd. Today it is
clear that an electron just oscillates along a straight, going through the proton. All this
allowed one of the authors to consider the problem of deuteron-deuteron interaction in
other respects and to predict the coldfusion (Sapogin, 1983; Sapogin at all,
1995,1996) already in 1983.
Quantum object is getting classical one with a simultaneous increasing of its mass, i.e.
in the case of superposition of a large number of wave packets. The case when all of
packets consisting a body will consolidate and spread simultaneously, is impossible in
physics, as they have different velocities and masses. That is why such a combination
seems as a stable and permanent object, moving according to the classical mechanics
laws, though every packet is described in terms of the Quantum Mechanics. It looks
like all particles in the Universe owe their existence to each other, and the Universe
itself is just a mathematical illusion, a trick.
Injusticeto the adherents of the complementarity we have to say the following. They
do not retract it, though they have to wriggle, they have to tell that particles always go
to the mirror as correlated pairs, and one of them goes through, but the second is
264
reflected. Of course we need to consider the induced radiation effect, when the one
atom’s radiation is increasing the probability of emitting from another excited atom of
the same source, but it does not always happen.Let us return to the principle of
complementarity. It is clear, that if we would not be interested in the nature of the
particle and consider it just as an indivisible point then the principle of
complementarity is correct. It is a very curiously principle and it is amazing how N.
Bohr could invent it.
In recent years a numerous of experiments was carried out, which found out
supraluminal speeds. Not debating if the special theory of relativity is right or not, let
us show that in the Unified Unitary Quantum Theory (UUQT) any velocity is possible
and the velocity of light is not maximum possible.
Let us consider Euclidean plain space, in which the photon propagates along the X-
axis. According to the UUQT it is a wave packet and it could be presented as an
infinite sum of harmonic components, that exist on the X-axis, figurativelyspeaking,
placed at a distance of a million light years ahead and backwards. Now if we place on
the X-axis arbitrarily far the specially device, creating an anomalistic high dispersion,
then the photon could occur at the exit of the device, because the harmonic
components shifted each other. The most interesting in this process is that nothing has
moved between incident and reconstructed photons at this velocity! With other words,
the conventional definition of the velocity is getting obsolete. (Sapogin,2010,2011)
Such experiments were carried out by some teams (in Berkeley, Vienna, Cologne,
Florence, etc.) and they emerged the supraluminal speeds. The most interesting were
LijunWang’s investigations (Wang L.J. at all,2000)in which the velocity 310 times
bigger than the speed of the light (Fig. 5) was found. Wang gives the same
interpretation as ours but only for aimpulse of light. In this case it is a wrong
interpretation, because in the experiment the envelope of the light pulse is not
distorted absolutely, but it has to be obligatory, and he notices it amazed. Wang
supposes that the special theory of relativity is absolutely destroyed. But it is not quite
true.
Our idea that particles are wave packets is an absolutely original idea for the
worldwide science. The waves at the Fig. 5 have to be realized as separated partial
waves of the spectral decomposition of the wave packets of the separated photons, but
not as a spectral decomposition of the light pulse. Then the form of the momentum’s
envelope will not be distorted.
265
The aspects of the Unitary Quantum Theory are confirmed by results of their practical
applications to traditional tasks of physics. The UUQT allows firstly in the
international science, not either to compute the electron charge and the fine structure
constant (1/137) with the great precision (0.3%) (Sapogin at all, 1998,1991) but even
to compute masses of many elementary particles (Sapogin at all, 2008a,2008b,2010)
with the accuracy of 0.1-0.003%! It’s amazing that in the calculated spectrum of
masses there is a particle mass about 131.7 GeV that сould be called Higgs boson
(Sapogin, 2012). The Modern Standard Model and quantum theories of field couldn’t
even raise these problems mathematically. It should be stressed than when we will
find the spectrum of masses and charges of electron, time won’t be a part of the
ultimate equations and it will stay Newtonian, in other words, time exists only in our
minds.
In the Unified Unitary Quantum Theory all interactions and particle production
(packet split) are considered as an effect of diffraction of the packets by each other
because of the nonlinearity.An analytical solution of these tasks will require new
mathematical methods, and it is not even clear how to start with it at presence.
There are such hard rules in the modern theoretical physics. Any new theory has to
include classical results. This is strictly satisfied because the Hamilton-Jacobi
relativistic equation and Dirac equation follow from the UUQT, i.e. all modern basics
of the fundamental quantum science. In the linear equations of the UUQT the mass
was replaced by the rest energy divided to square speed of light, and then the system
of 32 nonlinear integro-differential equationsappears as a consequence. They were
firstly found out by L. Sapogin and V. Boichenko(Sapogin at all, 1984) in 1984, and
only in 1988 they solved the dimensionless scalar version of this equation that allows
to get the fine structure constant – 1/137 and electron charge with accuracy 0.3%
(Sapogin at all, 1988,1991).
In this approximation of the UUQT, the wave packet is realized as a spatial divided
electric charge that oscillates, its equation depends on time, coordinate and velocity
and it could work in the rough model of the particle as oscillated charge, so we can
exploit the Newton questions. It is becoming easy to see the tunneling effect: while
the moving particle is approaching to the potential barrier, in the phase when the
charge is extremely small, it is easy for it to go through the barrier, and when the
quantity of the charge is large, the repulsion force is increasing, and the particle will
be reflected. The numerical solution of these equations (Sapogin at all 2005, 2008a,
266
2011a) for the most common quantum tasks emerges approximately the same results
as the calculation of the general Quantum Mechanics (QM). By the way, by means of
the UUQT it is possible to get this equation from the Schrödinger’s one with very low
energies (Sapogin at all, 2003, 2005, 2008a). But there are though some interesting
differences. The equations of motion of the oscillated charge were not treated in
physics before and they have an important difference from the classical laws of
motion – the invariance of the motion in the relation to invariance translations. It
means the absence of the great classical momentum and energy conservation
laws. They appear in the UUQT and then in the classical mechanics only with an
averaging for all particles.
Now we obtain Uncertainty relations (Sapogin at all,2003, 2005, 2008a, 2010,
2011). As far as the particle (wave packet) is periodically appearing and vanishing
at de Broglie wave length (more precisely, the packet disappears twice, and the
probability of its detecting is sufficiently big in maximum region only) the
position of such a packet may be detected with error
λ h
∆x ≥ and then ∆x ⋅ P ≥ .
2 2
As at measuring of momentum module is inevitable the error ∆P = 2P , then we
have following inequality:
∆x ⋅ ∆P ≥ h .
The statements of standard quantum mechanics that particles do not have a
trajectory become more understandable. Of course, there is a lot of truth in those
words. First, it is possible to say so about intermittent (dotted) motion of the
particle with oscillating charge. Second, any packet (particle) is able during its
motion to split into few parts. Each of that parts being summed with vacuum
fluctuation may results, in principle, in few new particles. Or visa versa the
broken particle may vanish at all and contribute to general fluctuating chaos of the
vacuum. But in any case it is better to have more clear idea of particle concrete
motion than operate with generally accepted nowadays-obscure sentence about
lack of trajectory.
As well known, in all experiments the local law of energy conservation (LEC) and the
law of conservation of momentum in individual quantum processes are correct only
for high-energy states. For low energies we can’t claim that, because of the
uncertainty relation and the stochastic nature of QM’s predictions. That is why the
idea of the global, but not of local LEC exists invisibly in the QM and it’s not a new
one.
For the physics it only means that for the stationary solution with fixed discrete
energy levels (the general QM) of the velocity of the particle reflected by a wall is
equal to incident one. The UUQT allows to consider another ways too. Thus if the
velocity of the particle for every reflection is decreasing then it is corresponding to the
“crematorium” solution, but if it is increasing then it is corresponding to the
“Maternity home”. What scenario would turn to the reality depends on the initial
phase of the wave function and on the energy of the particle. Besides the UUQT is
fundamentally inapplicable for a closed system, because such systems are
idealizations, which are very useful, but not according to the base of consideration
used in the UUQT.
Anyway, the whole modern science, including the Quantum Mechanics (QM), is still
based on the great LEC. However, there is a difficult situation in the Quantum
Mechanics. It deals with the fact that the LEC follows only from the Newton
mechanics. QM generalizes the facts of the classical mechanics including all of its
laws, but its results have a sufficiently statistical nature, they are correct only for large
amounts of particles. But how do we have to consider single particles, with their
individual processes? It appears that for the single particles LEC does not follow from
QM (!), thus individual events are absolutely incidental and do not follow this law. To
evade this question it was announced that Quantum Mechanics doesn’t describe
individual events (!?)
Let us discuss a thought experiment. To make our reasons more simple let operate a
certain quantum ball-particle. If the ball is approaching to the wall, then its velocity
after reflection will always be equal to the incident velocity (here we neglect a
268
quantity of the friction force and consider that the ball and the wall are perfectly
elastic). In the case of the quantum ball the velocity after the reflection would possess
the whole arrange of the values, in different experiments under equal conditions.
There would be some balls that would be reflected with velocities that are higher and
some that are lower than the initial velocity, and some of them with velocities equal to
the incident one, and every case would be considered statistically in the terms of the
Quantum Mechanics.
Let us answer the following question: what would happen if we place another wall
opposite the first, and would try to increase the velocity of the ball after every
reflection? Then we would get increasing of energy of the ball without action of any
external force. The energetic of the systems in the XXI century will treat the question
of constructing of initial conditions for a numerous quantity of particles to realize
only the “Maternity home” solution so that the “Crematorium” solution would be
damped as far as possible. But it depends on the selection of initial phases and the
geometry of the system.
The prospects following from the UUQT are not even the most significant. Any flat
bans as the impossibility of perpetuum mobile creation and any other confirmations of
269
the immovability of conservation laws are unacceptable in philosophy. No, these laws
would never be neglected; but there would be such areas in science and technology,
very limited in the beginning, so that these laws would be not enough.
The problem of existing of the global conservation laws (we have proved that they are
not local laws) is left in abeyance. Nothing but the idleness and atavism of the human
thinking lead to it. But this idleness of thinking – concerning the physics – manifests
itself in the intuitive atavism for the Newton laws.
Yes, the conservation laws are incontestable in the classical mechanics and in terms of
this theory a continuously operating machine is theoretically impossible. It should be
stressed that the conservation laws were transferred to the Quantum Mechanics as an
object of worship of the classical mechanics. But the Quantum Mechanics is more
fundamental, Newton laws follow from it as a particular case. And if in the terms of
the Quantum Mechanics a possibility to get energy from nothing is theoretically
possible, thus a quantum perpetuum mobile could be constructed.
270
looks like catalysis mechanism described above.Besides all the equation with
oscillating charge is quite good in describing the wave properties of the particle. We
predict that experiments on the diffraction reflection of electrons from the lattice
(classical experiments of Davisson–Germer) can be simulated by supercomputer, but
authors do not have such possibility.
Interestingly enough, there are apparatus called Testatik Machine M/L Converter
from religious group “Methernitha”, they belong to a religious Christian commune,
situated in Linden near Bern. Theirs maker is Swiss physicist Paul Baumann living in
the commune.These fantastic devices, direct current generators, are made as a four
dimensions type: with power value of 0.1, 0.3, 3 and 10 kW. Externally this device
resembles an electrostatic machine with Leyden jars, so familiar from school physics
laboratory. There are two acrylic discs with 36 narrow sectors of thin aluminium stuck
to it. The discs rotate in different directions and their mechanical energy is hundreds
times lower that produced energy – it accounts for about 100 mW in measurements.
The largest device with the power value of 10 kW has disc diameters more than 2 m,
and the smallest has 20 cm; the device with the power value of 3 kW has 20 kg in
weight. There is no cooling or heating of the air during the long operation of the
device, it just smells of ozone there. It was found out that the inventor doesn’t clearly
understand the principle of operation of the device.
Professor S. Marinov (Austria), whom the commune had given as a present the device
with the power value of 100 W wrote in his book called “Difficult way to the truth –
documents on the violation of conservation laws”, issued in 1989 by International
Publishers East-West: “I can confirm without any doubt that this device is a classical
perpetuum mobile. Without any initial impact, it could rotate an unlimited long period
of time and generate electrical energy equal to 100 W... In that device, the motor and
generator are connected... However, it is not clear how is it possible.“(back
translation).
The authors of the Unified Unitary Quantum Theory know approximately how this
device is constructed, but in this article we are going to do only what is absolutely
clear: we are going to show that the operation of this device completely corresponds
with the UUQT.Evidently, it operates due to the charge separation concept. Let us
consider two metallic spherical surfaces with a hole isolated from the Earth and from
each other. If we carry a first electron from sphere A to the inner surface of sphere B
through the hole by means of an isolated stick, then there appears a potential
difference. Further, if we carry the second one and the subsequent electrons, sphere A
271
would attract the carried charge, and B – would repeal it. It is clear that to move the
charge we will have to spend energy. (Fig. 7).
Prospects
Let us remember the problem about the maintenance of long-term flights to the outer
space with electricity. The Prof. Uchastkin’s analogy describes precisely a theoretical
approach for solving this problem. Of course, there is a great deal to do though, to
understand what phenomenon will play the role of those “quantum potatoes” and how
to construct an instrument that would be able to support a minimal energy to “bring
them to the fourth floor”.
How can a spaceship be supplied with energy during many months of flight? Near the
Earth, photovoltaic cells are used but the more the distance to the Sun is increasing,
the more needless they are; using of a nuclear energy source is problematical for
different causes. Today we can neither improve this situation considerably nor do we
have even any theoretical conditions which could let us approach it. On the base of
such a situation there are common ideas of the construction of matter and its
properties. Now then, a new conception of physics is being proposed. Like many
others as well. If we stay by the space technology, it’s over constructing of engines
based on new principles of energy production, maintaining of real-time
telecommunication on the distances in outer space, free of limits which are proper to
the diffusion of electromagnetic waves… It follows from the foregoing that UUQT
opens up a perspective of a solution for the communication problem on extremely
wide distances in outer space for it excludes the limits of information exchange
between Earth and spaceship. The theory also predicts the approaches to creating of
272
the new energy sources and of the new types of engines that would be almost ideal
for creating of spaceships of the future.
Conventional jet propulsions transform the conducted energy in the kinetic energy of
the beam of a working body flowing from the engine, and the reaction force of this
beam – the pulling force – accelerate the spaceship. Therefore space flights to
extremely wide distances will require huge stocks of working body.
Let us use the method of analogy again. Regard a classical trick problem in physics
for universities’ admission tests: there is a boat in motionless water and a man with a
sandbag in this boat. Can he move the boat by performing any manipulations with the
sandbag, for an endless time?
Correct answer: throw the sandbag from the front part of the boat to its back, then
carry it back slowly, throw it again and so on. As the viscous friction force by Stocks
is proportional to the velocity, the boat will perform swinging motions, over which
some linear movement will be applied. Based on this idea, marsch buggies were
constructed in Germany – there is heavy mass moving in there, in one direction
quickly and back slowly. Many decades ago, the same effect (Dean’s engine) was
wide-ragingly discussed in the USSR in popular science magazines and on TV.
How can this phenomenon be used? If there is a charge cloud in flat capacitor, it is
possible to make it swing between sheets with different values of acceleration
forwards and backwards by applying a sawing motion to the sheets. Because of
273
different forces of radiation friction in the alternate and opposite direction, pulling
force appears along the lines of electric field. The radiation of such accelerated
charges is always perpendicular to their movement and can be screened, but the most
important thing on it is the fact that it doesn’t change its impulse in relation to the
direction of the capacitor’s field.It may be paradoxical, but it seems that we get a
pulling force by spending energy for this process without throwing-off of any mass in
the direction, which is opposite to the motion’s one. The authors even published in the
US-magazine “Journal of New Energy” vol.5, #1, 2000 an article, containing an exact
analytical solution of this problem: the pulling of some micrograms appears in a flat
To generate pulling it is still possible to throw off the mass/ matter, “getting” it in a
specially created potential hole, accelerating in it in the same time. UUQT allows
such solution generally that is evident from the “Maternity home” solution.
Let us consider the results. UUQT will in future let us solve several basic problems of
the worldwide energy supply and all problems in outer space: immediate information
changing, the problem of energy supply and constructing of new engine types. It is
absolutely precipitant to make technical plans for those solutions, but the foregoing
should be considered not as a wanton imagination, but as a possible future
programmer of fundamental research to transpose our civilization to new physical
principles.
Evaluation of UQT ideas resulted in instinctively absolutely clear picture of quantum
events in terms of figures and movements. And philosophical principal of
Complementarity can be now hidden with well-deserved honors.In spite of
mathematical complexity Unitary Quantum Theory will stop ordinary Quantum
Mechanics paradox and consequently frank words of Richard Feynman: “I can easily
say that nobody understands quantum mechanics” will become the property of
history.
Moreover, by solving the QUT equations it became possible to obtain with the high
precision an electron charge, as for scalar telegraph UQT equation it gave with
appropriate precision mass spectrums of all elementary particles (Sapogin at all,
274
2008a, 2008b, 2010). The same spectrum was followed from the solution of the
Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon integro-differential equations. The risk of computed
mass spectrum being random is less than . Of course such results cannot be
275
of point charge electric field in the form of a certain “sun” with field lines
symmetrically coming from the point. But electric field – is a vector, and what for is it
directed? The total sum of such vectors is null, isn’t it?
There are no attempts to talk about, but such idealization is not correct. We should
note that Sir Isaak Newton did not used term of a point charge at all, but it’s ridiculous
to think that such simple idea had not come to him! As for Einstein, he considered
“electron is a stranger in electrodynamics”. Maxwell equations are not ultimate truth
and so we should forget, disavow the common statement about relativist invariance
requirement being obligatory “permission” for any future theory.
To reassure severe critics we should note that UQT is relativistically invariant, it
allows to obtain correct correlation between an energy and impulse, mass increases
with a rate, as for relativistic invariance just follow of the fact that the envelope of
moving packet is quiet in any (including non-inertial) reference systems. To be honest
we should note that subwaves the particles consist of are relativistically abnormal, at
the same time envelope wave function following from their movement confirms terms
of Lorentz transformations.
The success of Maxwell equations in description of the prior-quantum view of world
was very impressing. Its correlation of the classical mechanics in forms of
requirement to correspond Lorentz transformations was perfectly confirmed by the
experiments that all these had resulted in unreasoned statement of Maxwell equations
being an ultimate truth…
Other reasons for this were later very carefully investigated by a disciple of one of the
authors (L.S.), Professor Yu.L.Ratis. (S.Korolev Samara State Aero-Space
University), who has formulated the modern spinor quantum electrodynamics from
the UQT point of view:
1. Maxwell equations contain constant c, which is interpreted as phase velocity of a
plane electromagnetic wave in the vacuum.
2. Michelson and Morley have never measured the dependence of the velocity of a
plane electromagnetic wave in the vacuum on the reference system velocity as soon
plane waves were mathematical abstraction and it was impossible to analyze their
properties in the laboratory experiment in principle.
3. Electromagnetic waves cannot exist in vacuum by definition. A spatial domain
where an electromagnetic wave is spreading – is no longer a vacuum. Once
electromagnetic field arises in some spatial region at the same moment such domain
acquires new characteristic – it became a material media. And such media possesses
special material attributes including power and impulse.
4. Since electromagnetic wave while coming through the abstract vacuum (the
mathematical vacuum) transforms it in a material media (physical vacuum) it will
interact with this media.
5. The result of the electromagnetic wave and physical vacuum interaction are
compact wave packets, called photons.
6. The group velocity of the wave packet (photon) spreading in the media with the
normal dispersion is always less its phase velocity.
All abovementioned allows making unambiguous conclusion: the main difficulties of
276
the modern relativistic quantum theory of the field arise from deeply fallacious
presuppositions in its base. The reason for this tragic global error was a tripe
substitution of ideas – velocity of electromagnetic wave packets ‘c’ being transformed
in numerous experiments physics have construed as constant ‘c’ appearing in
Maxwell equations and Lorentz transformations. Such blind admiration of Maxwell
and Einstein geniuses (authors in no case do not doubt in the genius of these persons)
had led XX century physics up a blind alley. The way out was in the necessity of
revision of the entire fundamental postulates underlying the modern physics. Exactly
that was done by UUQFT.(Sapogin, 2010, 2011)
Some time ago CERN has conducted repeated experiments of the neutrino velocity
measurement that appeared to be higher than velocity of the light. For UUQFT they
were like a balm into the wounds. The administration of CERN renounced after
sometimes these results considering them as the consequence of experimental errors.
As far as the authors know, not all participants of this
experiment agree to such renouncing. Besides, many astronomers detect superluminal
velocities during observations of stars and galaxies.In fact the movements in excess of
the light velocity were discovered earlier by numerous groups of researches. Nearly
everybody disbelieved it. And now the neutrino movements exceeding the velocity of
the light were disclosed in CERN. The importance of these experiments for UUQFT
is settled in the article (Sapogin,2011) where at the page 69 it is written that “this
should be considered as direct experimental proof of UUQFT principle”.

Fourier coefficients in moment decomposition in accordance with Kepler’s laws; so
by adding epicycles the accuracy of the Ptolemaic model can be increased too.
However that does not mean that the Ptolemaic model is adequately describing the
reality. Quite the contrary…
The Unitary Quantum Theory allowed computing the mass spectrum of elementary
particles without any adjusting parameters. By the way computed spectrum (Sapogin
at all, 2008ab, 2010) has particle with mass 131.51711 GeV (L=2, m=2). Once
desired it can be called Higgs boson, it lies within declared by the CERN+Tevatron
mass interval 125-140 GeV expected to contain Higgs boson. CERN promises to
obtain more precise mass value by December 2012.
Note the following remarkable fact: the standard theory allowed to detect spectra by
using always the quantum equations with outer potential and as corollaries to
geometric relations between de Broglie wave’s length and characteristic dimension of
potential function. The quantum equation of our theory do not contain the outer
potential and describe a particle in empty free space; the mass quantization arises
owing to the delicate balance of dispersion and non-linearity which provides the
stability of some wave packets number. It is the first case when spectra are detected
by using the quantum equations without outer potential.
Nuclear physics.
Nuclear physics as a part of quantum theory is very luckless. Thus the potential of the
strong interactions is so complicated that no one even very bulky and intricate
mathematical expression is able to describe with more or less veracity the experiments
of two nucleons interaction. This interaction depends in very complicated manner
from all parameters of the nucleons movement and their orientation towards vectors
of velocity, acceleration, spin, magnetic movement, etc. Scarcely one can find a
parameter which practice interaction does not depend on. From UQT point of view
the strong interactions appear in the result of nucleons represented by the wave
packets overlapping. Today the way of mathematical notation of the overlapping wave
packets interaction is absolutely vague as soon nonlinear interaction in any space-time
point of the waves is different due to different amplitudes.
It’s a really complicated problem as soon there is only one nonlinear mathematical
problem existing for each space-time point and even with the intuitive clearance of
situation we do not expects its soon solution. The complete understanding of the
nuclear structure hardly can be expected in the soonest time without exact expression
for the potential of the strong interaction.
In general it should be noted that quantum world looks more clear and simple in UQT
than in the general quantum mechanics, but we cannot repeat it while speaking about
the mathematics used. The appearance of the exact analytical solution of the scalar
problem of elementary particles mass spectrum can be considered as Fate gift (or
God’s help) for UQT. By the way the standard Schrödingerquantum mechanics has
the same gift – the exact analytical decision of the Hydrogen atom.
The nuclear process in terms of small energies should be reviewed. Today the strict
nuclear physics does not assume nuclear reactions at small energies that contradict
experimental data. Here we should also note our skepticism towards the idea of
279
nuclear fusion in Tokamaks, we consider this way as hopeless. To justify these
experiments we have to mention that the decision was made in the absentia of other
ideas and under the great pressure of the future power problems. But the use of the
reactions of classical cold fusion for the power output is also difficult due to the
complexity of colliding nuclei phasing. This phenomenon is well described by the
equation with oscillating charge, while the cold nuclear fusion had been predicted in
UQT 6 years before its real discovery (Sapogin, 1983).
Solid-state physics.
The band theory of solid is based at the point on the solution of the task of an electron
movement in the field of two or more charges. But this problem does not have
analytical solution jet, in practice a speculative quality solution is used only. The
results are that electrons in the solid have quite specific allowed power bands. This
field of the science is very successful and hardly will be revised. Any solution of the
equations with the oscillating charge for the electron moving in the field of few nuclei
also result in appearance of allowed and forbidden bands (Sapogin at all, 2003,
2005,2008a,2011a). Somewhat apart is classical tunneling effect. In UQT the
probability of tunneling effect appearance depends on the phase of the wave function
(in contrast to the ordinary quantum theory, where at the squaring of the wave
function module it dependence on the wave phase totally disappears). It could be
interesting to prove such dependence by the experiments. It can be easily done if
creating a new transistor on the basis of absolutely new principle of the electron
current control (Sapogin at all, 2011b).
We are not going to analyze the modern theory of superconductivity, but we are sure
that the equation with oscillating charge will deepen on both understanding of
superconductivity as well as mysterious properties of quantum liquids.
Astrophysics and Cosmology.
The authors regret not being in sympathized with the ideas of the Universe origin
from one singular point. The most amazing in this theory is a detailed computation of
events occurred in the first fractions of the second just after the Big Bang. Today
when the fundamental physics is making only first shy steps towards the real
understanding of the quantum processes we still do not have clear model of the
particles, or understanding of a spin appearance, a charge and magnetic moments.
According to UQT the processes of the multiple particle production at collision is a
common result of the waves packets of big amplitudes diffraction in periodic
structures one another, as for the multiple outgoing in different directions particles
they correspond to the general diffraction maximums. But we do not assume the
responsibility of the mechanism of the multiple particles production for the Universe
appearance. To our opinion the complete understanding of the quantum world will
arise only after solving of 32 nonlinear integro-differential equations of UQT
(Sapogin at all,1984,2003,2005,2008a). To their regret the authors like castrates in a
harem can only look at these equations.
And many cosmologists would like to use theories assuming existence Universe
localities where the energy is coming into being and also other localities where the
energy annihilates. For example, British astronomer Fred Hoyle has developed the
280
theory of Universe where it takes the place the continuous creation of matter. He
wrote:“… Different atoms constituting the matter do not exist at some given moment
of time and then after instant they exist already. I must admit this idea may look as
strange… But all our ideas about creation are strange. According to previous theories
the whole quantity of matter in Universe was coming into being just as whole and all
process of creation looks as super-gigantic instant explosion. As for me, such idea
seems much stranger, than idea of continuous creation…” F.Hoyle, La nature de
l’Universe, 1952.
The official astronomical science does not accept the ideas of F.Hoyle and of some
other astronomers (H.Bondi, T.Gold, and P.Jordan) about continuous creation of
matter in Universe because the Conservation Laws are considered as infallible. But
from the viewpoint of our UQT these ideas are quite not strange.
Our real ‘world’ continuum consists of an enormous quantity of particles moving with
different velocities. Partial waves of the postulated vanishing particles create real
vacuum fluctuations that change in a very random way. Certain particles randomly
appear in such a system, owing to the harmonic component energy of other vanished
particles. The number of such “dependant particles” changes, though; they suddenly
appear and vanish forever, as the probability of their reappearance is negligibly small,
and so we do expect that all particles are indebted to each other for their existence.
Yet, if some particles are disappearing within an object, other particles are arising at
the same moment in that object due to the contribution of those vanishing particles’
harmonic components –and vice versa. The simultaneous presence of all of the
particles within one discrete macroscopic object is unreal. Some constituent particles
vanish within the object while others appear. In general, a mass object is extant
overall, but is not instantaneously substantive and merely a ‘false’ image. It is clear
that the number of particles according to such a theory is inconstant and all their
ongoing processes are random, and their probability analysis will remain always on
the agenda of future research.
In accordance with UQT there are another solutions for the quantum harmonic
oscillator besides stationary, where the given tiny incipient fluctuation is growing,
gaining power and finally becoming a particle. It is so called "Mathernity Home”
solution. There are also other solutions where substance (power) is disappearing. Such
solutions have been called “Crematorium”. May be Metagalaxy is simply entangled in
searching the balance, isn’t it?
All this allows expecting that space continuum in the centers of Galaxies produces
different particles, electrons, protons, neutrons, which are the sources of light atoms.
Later thanks to the gravitation light atoms are transformed into gas nebulas where
under gravity compression the stars are lighting. It’s quite possible that the current
theory of Stars evolution is correct in general while describing (via Supernova) the
production of other atoms apart Hydrogen and Carbon the planets consist of. We do
not think nuclear process at small energies (which are possible in UQT, but
impossible in standard quantum theory) will essentially modify evolutionary view of
the Galaxies development.
It is interesting that the state with the minimum quantum values L=0,m=0 belongs to
281
the very heavy neutral scalar particle (WIMP) with our name Dzhan and mass about
69.6 TeV, which in principle should purely interact with the others (Sapogin at all,
2005, 2008ab, 2010). With the growth of the quantum numbers the mass of the
particle is diminishing. So there should be a lot of Dzhan-particles due to the small
quantum numbers. And probably their existence is responsible for the dark matter in
general, in accordance with some evaluations Metagalaxy consist of up to 80-90% of
the dark matter.
Gravitational theory.
No doubt that Gravitational theory should follow from 32 nonlinear integro-
differential equations of UQT and the authors are expecting that it can be done in
future (Sapogin at all, 1984, 2005, 2008a). Nevertheless we will make now some
conservative assertions. The current data regarding the Universe expansion can be
interpreted as the change of the gravitational potential sign (gravity is replacing by
repulsion) at great distances for the great masses. Probably the difference between
absolute the values of electric charge of a proton and a electron, say in 15 – 20 signs,
is responsible for his phenomena, but for us this idea is extremely unsympathetic. On
the other hand there is an impression that the variation of the gravity potential is
momentary and acts at the same time in all spatial domains (long-range action). Thus
any attempts to propose lateness correction of the changes of gravitational potential in
the planetary motion equation require the said changes to be occurred with velocities
which are many times higher than the velocity of light. Apart there is the question of
existence and velocities of the gravity waves, where is no clarity at all. It could be
clarified between 16 and 22 of July 1994 when comet Shoemaker-Levy had collided
with Jupiter, but humanity missed such possibility. At the moment of the comet huge
cores collision with the Jupiter ball of gas its surface should started radial oscillations
and created gravity waves, if they exist at all. It’s astonishing but astronomers all over
the world in every observatory were able to observe this phenomenon nearly in real
time conditions (the light was coming from Jupiter to the Earth about an hour), as for
the gravity specialists they had overslept such a chance to study gravity waves
velocity at all as far as the authors are informed. At the same time according to the
processed information (Hlistunov at all, 2011) from Russian Command-and-
Measuring Complex for the monitoring and control of the space objects at the entire
moment of collision geodesic satellites “Topex-Poceidon” and “GEO_IK” began
swaying at their orbits. Normally the orbit of a geodesic satellite lies inside the tube
with about 1 km diameter and the orbit can be control with the high accuracy – not
more than one meter precision for the position data and centimeters per second for
velocity. During the collision the sensors registered 5-8 times increase of the
trajectory tube diameter. In the same article Hlistunov at all on the basis of correlation
analysis of the position data measurements and information obtained from
earthquake-detection station it was shown that the waves of gravitational potential
variation were the trigger for earthquakes. To the authors’ regret they do not have the
similar information from NASA.
Chemical catalysis.
The process of chemical catalysis and the catalysts are the great mystery of the
282
modern science. The number of chemical catalysis theories equals the number of
chemical catalytic processes. Specialist of chemical catalysis used to think that this or
that reaction is not being processed only if a special catalyst has not been found. Even
Michael Faraday studied these problems. He seems to say platinum black being the
universal catalyst. Only this (while platinum practically does not react with anything)
immediately suggests an idea that chemical processes are not enabled at all and we
should look for the physical universal mechanism of reactions.
The UQT has such a process. The details are listed in the articles (Sapogin at all,
2003, 2005, 2008a, 2011c). The universal mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis for
example in Ammonia synthesis consists of the following: Nitrogen molecular falls
into a cavity (hole) of the catalyst few tens of Angstrom unit size. At some initial
terms molecular starts oscillating with an energy augmentation implementing thus
solution “Maternity home” like in a normal potential well. If the augmented energy
excesses the binding energy of molecular Nitrogen then atomic Nitrogen at the exit
from the cavity will be caught by protons (Hydrogen), form Ammonia and then quit
the game and free cavity for the new deeds.
We are sure that in such a way water can be decomposed for Oxygen and Hydrogen.
At normal conditions the mixture of Oxygen and Hydrogen is stable. In other words
two stable substances (water and gas mixture) are simply divided by a high energy
barrier, that can be overcome (tunneling effect analogue) by using the exact catalyst
and the UQT ideas. For today a lot of experiments of water decompositions are
known, the energy evolved in the process of hydrogen combustion is ten times higher
than necessary for decomposition. It makes possible to design an engine running from
water.
Conclusion
It seems that if UQT were correctly describing the world properties the radical
transformation of the civilization would be possible. In conclusion we should express
our astonishment that UQT is incomprehensible for any thinking person, it’s a
mystery to us.

Questioning the Special and General Relativity
Florentin Smarandache
University of New Mexico
705 Gurley Ave., Gallup, NM 87301, USA
[email protected]
1. Introduction.
We have published two books [1, 2] questioning the special and general
theories of relativity.
a) In the first book we presented our 1972 hypothesis that there is no speed
barrier in the universe and one can construct arbitrary speeds -thus
refuting the speed of light postulate.
While Einstein considered a relative space and relative time but the ultimate speedof
light, we do the opposite: we consider an absolute time and absolute space but no
ultimate speed, and we call it the Absolute Theory of Relativity (ATR). The ATR has
no time dilation, no length contraction, no relativity of simultaneity, and no relativistic
paradoxes.
We then parameterize Einstein’s thought experiment with atomic clocks,
supposing that we know neither if the space and time are relative or absolute, nor if
thespeed of light is ultimate speed or not. We obtain a Parameterized Special Theory
ofRelativity (PSTR). Our PSTR generalizes not only Einstein’s Special Theory of
Relativity,but also our ATR, and introduces three more possible Relativities to be
studied in the future.
Afterwards, we extend our research considering not only constant velocities
butconstant accelerations too.
Eventually we proposed a NoninertialMultirelativity for the same thought
experiment, i.e. considering non-constant accelerations and arbitrary 3D-curves.
b) In the second book we considered that not all physical laws are the same in
all inertial reference frames, and we gave several counter-examples. We also
supported superluminal speeds, and we considered that the speed of light in
vacuum is variable depending on the moving reference frame. Space and
time are absolute (universal), and separated from each other. Lorentz
contraction and Minkovski’s metric are unrealistic.
We explained that the redshift and blueshift are not entirely due to the Doppler
Effect, but rather to the Medium Gradient and Refraction Index (which are
288
determined by the medium composition: i.e. its physical elements, fields, density,
heterogeneity, properties, etc.).
We considered that the space is not curved and the light near massive cosmic
bodies bends not because of the gravity only as the General Theory of Relativity
asserts (Gravitational Lensing), but because of the Medium Lensing.
In order to make the distinction between “clock” and “time”, we suggested a
first experiment with a different clock type for the GPS clocks, for proving that the
resulted dilation and contraction factors are different from those obtained with the
cesium atomic clock; and a second experiment with different medium compositions
for proving that different degrees of redshifts/blushifts and different degrees of
medium lensing would result.

with a constant acceleration a0 and initial velocity v0. Let’s take into consideration the
earth’s gravity g too that influences the trajectory.
F1 (which has the Cartesian system X1Y1Z1) is moving with a constant acceleration a1
with initial velocity v1 in the positive direction of the X1-axis (the OY1- and OZ1-axes
are parallel respectively with OY2 and OZ2) with respect to the frame F2 (whose
Cartesian system is X2Y2Z2).

From an observer in F2 the trajectory AB of the particle P0 in F1 is seen as a 2D- or

The curve AB’ is described in F2 by a function

absolute time reference frame they are equal), or on the supposition about the
The reader can repeat this thought experiment for the case when the
accelerations a0and a1 are not constant, and the reference frame F1 is moving with
respect to the reference frame F2 on an arbitrary 3D-curve.
The length contraction is, according to the Theory of Relativity, along the
direction of the motion. And if the length is perpendicular on the direction of
motion there is no contraction (according to the same theory).
(6)
depends on the rocket's speed (v) and on the light speed in vacuum (c) only.
I find this as unfair, incomplete. It is logical that flying more and more should
increase the length contraction.
What about the cosmic bodies that continuously travel, do they contract only
once or are they continuously contracting?
291
4. Elasticity of Relativistic Rigid Bodies?
when the traveling twin blasts off from the Earth to a relative velocity v = with
respect to the Earth, his measuring stick and other physical objects in the direction of
relative motion shrink to half their lengths.
How is that possible in the real physical world to have let’s say a rigid rocket
shrinking to half and then later elongated back to normal (as an elastic material)? It is
more science fiction…
What is the explanation for the traveler's measuring stick and other physical objects,
in effect, return to the same length to their original length in the Stay-At-Home, but
there is no record of their having shrunk? Where this quantity of Joules of energy
come from in order to shrink and then tacitly elongate back the stick?
If it's a rigid (not elastic) object, how can it shrink and then elongate back to normal? It
might get broken in this situation. This is like a science game…
And, by the way, not all masses are variable, there exist absolute masses in the
universe.
A rocket has length L at rest, afterwards in flying the length shrinks to L·C(v), then
suddenly stops. According to the Special Theory of Relativity the rocket’s length
L·C(v) tacitly returns to its original length! [As the rocket was made of… plasticizer!]
Similarly, assume the rigid rocket’s mass at rest is M; after flying this mass increases
to M/C(v). Then, when the rockets stops, according to the Special Theory of Relativity
the mass tacitly… returns to its original value (as it was elastic… rocket!).
According to the Special Theory of Relativity the mass of a moving object increases
with the speed of the object, but what really increases: the object density, the object
volume, or both?
Because:
and since the object length decreases (in the direction of movement), then should we
understand that the object volume also decreases?
Einstein himself disliked the concept of relativistic mass given by the formula:
m
M (v ) =
v2
1− 2
c (8)
293
andM = relativistic mass of the object moving at speed v.
Suppose we have two particles A and B that fly in the opposite direction from the
fixed point O, with the speeds v1 and respectively v2 with respect to an observer that
stays in the point O, as in the below figure:
A B
O
Fig. 2
Let’s consider that v1 + v2 ≥ c.
A) But, an observer that travels with particle A (therefore he is at rest with
particle A) measures the speed of particle B as being v =v1 + v2 ≥ c.
Similarly for an observer that travels with particle B: he measures the speed of
particle A as also being superluminal: v =v1 + v2 ≥ c.
B) If we suppose v1 = c and v2> 0, then for the observer that travels with particle
A his speed with respect to observer in O is c. But, in the same time, for the
observer that travels with particle A his speed with respect to particle B should
be greater that c, otherwise it would result that particle B was stationary with
respect to observer in O. It results that c + v2> c for non-null v2, contrarily to
the Special Theory of Relativity.

b) Length Contraction Formula is:

L(v) = L '. 1 − 2

whereL = non-proper length,
andL’ = proper length.
C2) Not talking about superluminal speeds for which, according to the Special
Theory of Relativity, the non-proper time, non-proper length, relativistic
momentum, total energy and kinetic energy becomes… imaginary!
The distance between Earth and Alpha Centauri (which is the closest star to our solar
system) is 4.3 light-years, as measured by an observer on our planet.
A particle travels from Alpha Centauri to Earth at speed v = c (for example a photon)
relative to the observer on Earth.
According to Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity:
. (15)
(16)
whereL’ = proper length (which is the distance between two points measured by an
observer at rest with respect to them);
L = non-proper length (distance between two points measured by an observer
that is not at rest with respect to them);
v = constant speed of the moving reference frame;
c = speed of light in vacuum.
Therefore the contracted length:
, (17)
which is a contradictory result since the distance between Alpha Centauri and Earth is
much far from zero, and even from the reference frame of the moving photon it takes
to the photon 4.3 light-years to get to Earth.
14. The Paradox of Simultaneity: Who is the Killer?
A M B

Fig. 3. The Paradox of Simultaneity
And a passenger Marcello in the middle point M of AB. A and B are the end and
respectively the beginning of the train. Assume that in the train at the joints A and B
there are Alex and respectively Barbara carrying each of them a gun of same caliber
and bullet speed. Simultaneously, according to an observer Ot who stays at the
midpoint M in the train, Alex and Barbara fatally shoot Marcello in the heart.
Therefore according to observer in the train Ot, both Alex and Barbara are guilty of
first degree murder, since both their bullets penetrate Marcello’s heart in the same
296
time. Therefore Alex and Barbara are both killers.
Let’s consider another observer Oe on the embankment, who sits at the midpoint M’
which coincides with M. Similarly on the embankment the points A’ and B’ coincide
respectively with A and B. According to the observer on the embankment, Oe, upon
Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity because the train moves from left to right,
Barbara’s bullet penetrates Marcello’s heart and kills him before Alex. Therefore
Barbara is a killer.
But Alex is not a killer, since his bullet arrives later than Barbara’s, therefore Alex’s
bullet penetrates a dead body (not a living body). According to the observer on
embankment, Oe, it’s Barbara who fired the gun before Alex did.
Contradiction.
14.1. The Dilemma of Simultaneity
Let’s consider two entangled particles A and B flying in the opposite directions. Let’s
assume they are so far away that light needs much time to travel from A to B.
If A is in state s, it instantaneously causes B to be in state s too.
We disagree with Theory of Relativity’s statement that there are no influences that
travel faster than light.
According to the Special Theory of Relativity we have:
A) For an observer O1,traveling with particle A at time t, the event “A is in state s”
occurs before the event “B is in state s”.
B) For another observer O2,traveling with particle B at time t, the event “A is in
state s” occurs after the event “B is in state s”.
C) But these two observers are in contradiction with a quantum observer O3,
which sits in the point M, where the particles started to fly from. O3,
measuring particle A to be in state s at time t, will automatically know that
particle B is in state s as well. Therefore, for the quantum experimenter O3 the
particles A and B are simultaneously in the state s.

14.2. Relativity of Simultaneity is Just an Appearance
In general let’s consider two simultaneous events in a reference frame at rest with
respect to the events.
In a moving reference frame, the same events don’t look simultaneous, but this is only
an appearance, a subjective impression.
In our Absolute Theory of Relativity we have no relativity of simultaneity.
15. Minowski’sSpacetime in Heterogeneous Medium
In general, let’s consider two simultaneous events in a reference frame at rest with
respect to the events. In a moving reference frame the same events don’t look
simultaneous, but this is only an appearance.
297
Let’s consider the locations L1(x1, y1, z1) and L2(x2, y2, z2) and times t1 < t2. The
spacetime distance between the events E1 = {I bread} at (x1, y1, z1 ,t1), and E2 = {I
bread} at (x2, y2, z2, t2) gives the answer:
(18)
Let’s say that d(E1, E2) = 0, then d(E1, E2) means that light has travelled in vacuum
from location L1 to location L2 in the period of time t2 - t1.
L2
L1
Fig. 5
But we see no connection between the fact that “I bread” and the fact that “light
travels in vacuum on a distance equals to |L1L2|”!
Let’s change this thought experiment and suppose that both locations L1(x1, y1, z1) and
L2(x2, y2, z2) are under water, somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Now light in the water
has a smaller speed (cw) than in vacuum, i.e. cw< c. Therefore within the same
interval of time t2 - t1, light travels in the water a lesser distance than L1L2. Thus d(E1,
E2) has a different representation now L1L:
L2
L1 L
Fig.6
And, if instead of water we consider another liquid, then d(E1, E2) would give another
new result.
Therefore, if we straightforwardly extend Minkowski’sspacetime for an aquatic only
medium, i.e. all locations Li(xi, yi, zi) are under water, but we still refer to the light
speed but in the water (cw) then the coordinates of underwater events Ew would be
Ew(xi, yi, zi ,cw, ti) and Minkowski underwater distance would be:
(19)
But if the underwater medium is completely dark it might be better to consider the
speed of sound as aquatic animals used in order to communicate (similarly as
submarines use sonar). Let’s denote by sw the underwater speed of sound. Then the
underwater events Ews(xi, yi, zi ,sw.ti) with respect to the speed of sound would have
the Minkowski underwater distance:
(20)
Similarly for any medium M where all locations Li(xi, yi, zi) are settled in, and for
speed of any waves W that can travel from a location to another location in this
298
medium.
15.1. Spacetime Diagram Didn’t Take into Account the Medium
Composition
The problem becomes more complex when one has a heterogeneous medium and the
waves travel with a speed v1 in a part and another speed v2 in another part, and so on
[we mean the speed of light in liquids, in plastic, in glass, in quartz, in non-vacuum
space in general]…
15.2. The Spacetime-Interval does not Distinguish Between Events’
Nature.
If an event E1 occurs at location L1(x1, y1, z1) and time t1, and another event E2
occurs at the location L2(x2, y2, z2) and time t2, with t1 <t2, in the Minkowskispacetime,
the squared distance d2(E1, E2) between them is the same and equal to:
(21)
no matter what kind of events we have!
For example, if one has the event E1={John drinks} and the event
E2={George eats}, there is no connection between these two events. Or if one
has two connected events: E1={Arthur is born} and E2={Arthur dies}. There
. (22)
b) means that light travels an Euclidean distance greater than L1L2 in the
299
(23)
means that light travels further than L2 in the prolongation of the straight line
means that light travels less on the straight line L1L2. The below
quantity, in meters:
(24)
means how much Euclidean distance is missing to the travelling light on straight
line L1L2, starting from L1 in order to reach L2.
The events in this third case form the space-like region.
We consider a diagram with the location represented by a horizontal axis (L) on
300
Fig. 7
It is strange the fact that the space is considered relative and time also relative in the
Theory of Relativity, but the so-called spacetime is absolute; this is an oxymoron.
Transforming time into space, or reciprocally, is just a funny concoction, but unreal.
Since the spacetime is absolute, it is not clear if anything is relative in the Theory of
Relativity or not?
17. Controller is not Aware
Let’s assume that the controller is not aware of the flying rocket. Then does it still
exist a time dilation for the controller and space contraction for the astronaut? The
relativists again say that it is “meaningless” (undecidable). But what kind of theories
give birth to undecidable propositions? Incomplete or inconsistent theories.
18. Distorted Bodies
By space contraction, the bodies are distorted, i.e. the proportions are not kept and
angles in general are not invariant (only the right angles formed by body’s edges
perpendicular on other body edges along the motion are invariant). For the right
triangle:
A
0
c 90 b
B a C motion direction

But in general
, so , or . (28)
The General Theory of Relativity asserts that it is possible to have a pure gravitational
field, without any matter at all, which acts as a source for itself.
Then the following questions arise: What does happen to the cosmic travelling small,
medium and massive objects to the atomic and sub-atomic particles in this pure
301
gravitational field? Do they fall to the bottom of the pure gravitational field, and do
they eventually form a compact cosmic body whose own gravitational field is this
pure gravitational field?
Does it exist any experiment proving that gravity influences light speed or light
trajectory? Does indeed gravity attract light?
{The light escaping or not a gravitational field in General Theory of Relativity or in a
Black Hole can be considered if it has been experimentally proven that light is
influenced by gravity.}
Also, if mass produces gravity and gravity produces mass, then it results that pure
gravitational field will produce/generate some mass. How? Will objects, dust,
particles be attracted in and condensed into a compact body inside of this pure
gravitational field?
20. Other Pure Fields?
For example: If a planet is split into n>2 parts, will the planet gravitational
field be also split among these n parts?
Is the gravitational field conserved or transformed? If transformed, would it be
into energy?
22. What Happens to the Curved Space around a Massive Object that has been
Destroyed?
How would the disappearance of a planet impact the other planets? Will its
orbit be occupied by another cosmic object that might be forming from
residues that fall into this orbit?
B) If space is curved around a star and forms tracks that planets travel
following these tracks as rail-roads, why not other (small, or medium, or
massive) objects are falling into these tracks and traveling around the star
on the same orbits?
23. What Happens to the Planets that Orbit a Star that has Died?
302
If a star explodes or is destroyed or dies, what happens to the planets that orbit it? Will
they continue to orbit by inertia the point where the star used to be? For how long
time?
24. Is Time an Entity without Beginning and Ending?
Is there a beginning and ending of time? Or is the time an entity without ending or
beginning?
We dough the Big Bang Theory that asserts a creatio ex nihilo of the Universe…
If it was a point in the Big Bang that exploded, where did this point come from? What
was before that point?
25. Creating Gravity
Massive cosmic bodies create gravity. Is there a bound for such cosmic bodies
(depending on mass, volume, density, and may be position) starting from which
cosmic bodies create gravity, while below that bound they don’t create gravity?
26. Not All Physical Laws are the Same in All Inertial Reference Frames
If the time runs faster at the top of a gravitational field than at the bottom of a
gravitational field, then sending a signal from top down could be like a message sent
303
back in time, which is unrealistic!
28. Wormholes do not Exist in a Real World
The Wormholes were predicted by the Theory of Relativity [through Hermann Weyl
in 1921 and John Archibald Wheeler in 1957], but the Wormholes permit time travel
(that is unrealistic) and violate the causality.
The Wormholes can be valid in an imaginary space only.
29. Newton’s Physics or Einstein’s Metaphysics?
Is it any threshold of the speeds, let’s say , with such that for the
speeds 0 <v < we apply Newton’s Physics, and for the speeds v > we apply
Einstein’s Special Relativity?
The proponents of Special Relativity say that Einstein’s Velocity Addition Formula
v1 + v 2
v1 + v 2 =
v1 ⋅ v 2
1+ 2
c (29)
prevails for any speeds. But this formula fails for superluminal speeds.
30. Neither 2c is a Speed Limit
We do not agree with the Lorentz Relativity and the Lorentz Ether Relativity that
support superluminal speeds up to a limit of 2c, although the absolute velocities are
added using normal arithmetic in these two Relativities. We think there can
constructed speeds that overpass2c as well.
31. Subjective Dilation-Time
For two observers, in two moving referential frames, each one sees a time dilation for
the other (time-dilation symmetry). But this is clearly a subjective time dilation, not
an objective time dilation.
These symmetric time dilations cannot be simultaneously done in practice; it is
absurd.
32. Subjective Local Time vs. Objective Global Time
The proponents of the Theory of Relativity assert that the so-called black hole is so
powerful, that even the time itself is brought to a stop. But this looks very much as
science fiction, since the objective time goes on anyway.
33. Relative vs. Absolute Space and Time
Einstein says that there is no absolute space or absolute time. But we argue that we
can mathematically consider an absolute space and absolute time, in order to
eliminate all paradoxes and anomalies from Theory of Relativity.
Relative Space and Time are referring to Subjective Theory of Relativities, while
Absolute Space and Time are referring to Objective Theory of Relativity {see the
304
Absolute Theory of Relativity [2]}.
The observers are relative, subjective indeed, but mathematically there can be
considered an Absolute Observer. {There are things which are absolute.}
34. Contraction of the Universe?
The speed of light in vacuum is not invariant as seen by different frame of reference
observers. It depends on the light source and its frame of reference.
Its addition with other speeds follows the classical law of velocity addition.
37. Instantaneous Acceleration?
Relativistic Mass increases with speed according to the Theory of Relativity. But an
elementary question arises: where the extra-mass comes from?
Also, how the extra-mass was produced? Where did the extra-energy come from?
Assuming that the initial mass has a charge, then does the increased mass have the
same charge?
39. Space is Not Curved
Since the Black Hole purely aroused from the mathematical solution by
Schwarzschild (and Hilbert) to the Einstein’s Field Equations, and because Einstein’s
Field Equations do not describe the real universe, the Black Hole is so far just an
imaginary cosmic body (or the notion of “black hole” has to be redefined).
While the Black Body, for example, is a theoretical ideal (not entirely realized in
practice, but only approximated…), which has not at all the power of reflecting light,
the relativists consider the Black Hole as a physical object (!)
41. Fact or Mathematical Artifact?
Interestingly, even the Black Hole’s center, which is a point of infinite density and
zero volume (which looks fantastic!), is considered a real physical entity, although
clearly it is a mathematical artifact.
42. What is the Maximum Discovered Density in the Universe?
Since no experiment has ever shown a density being infinite for a physical object in
the universe, our question is what would be the maximum discovered density in the
universe? Would it be possible to create any given density?
43. Maximum Strongest Fields?
a) What is the strongest gravitational field in the universe?
What about a cosmic body whose escape speed would be greater than the speed of
sound (instead of the speed of light)? Therefore, no sound would come out from that
body, so it would be labeled as “mute body”!
46. Travel in Time is Science Fiction
Relativists also support the travel to the past and travel to the future. But these are not
possible in reality (see the traveling time paradoxes, where travelers change the past
or the future). Because, for example, if somebody has changed the past, we don’t
know which one was the real past, the original one or the changed one? It is not
possible to have two or pasts!
Relativists conclude that it is possible to travel in the future in the real world, because
when we board an aircraft, for example, we are moving with respect to those who
remain behind, therefore our time will pass slowly compared to those who remain
behind. But this is an illusion since according to the absolute observer time is the
same in moving or staying reference frame. Maybe the biological or subjective time
changes, but not the objective time.
47. Time Coming to a Halt?
307
But in the real world this is fantasy!
48. No Wormholes
c = 2Gm / r . (36)
But in the future technology, it would be able to accelerate a photon inside of a Black
Home’s event horizon to have it travels at a speed greater than c. Also the
superluminal particles would escape.
Thus the Black Hole would not be black any longer.
50. What about more Cosmic Bodies?
Schwarzschild considered only one cosmic spherical body when solving Einstein’s
Field Equations. But, what about more cosmic bodies (or more Black Holes)?
51. No Universe Expansion since Earth is not the Center of the Universe
Hubble’s Law (1929) says that all galaxies are moving away from Earth at a velocity
which is directly proportional to their distances from Earth. It presumes that, due only
to the velocity at which the galaxies are moving away from the Earth, one has the
redshift.
Yet, it looks that Hubble’s Law is not followed by the quasars, which have big
redshifts, emit large amounts of energy and lie behind our Milky Galaxy.
According to Hubble’s Law, the universe is expanding, and the velocity of a receding
galaxy with respect to our Earth is
v = H0·D (37)
whereH0 = Hubble’s Constant, and Ho is between 50-100 (typically 70) km/sec per
megaparsec (3.26 million light-years);
andD = distance from the galaxy to the Earth.
But, if the galaxies recede with respect to the Earth at a velocity proportional
to their distances from Earth, it involves that our Earth is, or is becoming, the center
of the universe.
308
Fig. 9. Diagram of Allegedly Expansion Universe
In the above diagram, the Earth stays in the expansion center, and G1, G2, …, Gn, …
are galaxies, while G1’, G2’, …, Gn’, … are respectively their expansion positions after
a certain t1. The diagram is continuously extended in all directions, according to
Hubble’s Law, and after times t2, t3,… the corresponding new positions of the galaxies
would respectively be G1’’, G2’’, …, Gn’’, … at time t2, then G1’’’, G2’’’, …, Gn’’’, … at
time t3, etc. the galaxies getting further and further from the Earth, i.e. pushing the
Earth closer and closer to the center of all galaxies.
Even if Earth was not the center of the universe at the alleged Big Bang, after such
permanent expansion of the universe with respect to the Earth, it would result that the
Earth is in process of becoming the center of the universe… But the experiments do
not show that.
52. Photon’s Wavelength Stretching and Shrinking?
If the photon is a wave, it has been asserted that the photon’s wavelength is stretched
inside the intergalactic space, because of the expansion of the universe. But what
happens with the photon’s wavelength when the photon enters a galactic space (which
is not expanding), and afterwards it exists the galactic space and enters an
intergalactic space (which is expanding), and so on?
But, when the wavelength increases the wave frequency decreases (redshift);
therefore the wave’s momentum and energy are diminished in the expansion of the
universe. It seems to be an antithesis between the quantum mechanics (Copenhagen
style) and the universe expansion.
309
If the photon is a particle, similarly because of the so-called expansion of the
universe, does its pathlength increases inside the intergalactic space (which is
expanding) and decreases inside the galactic space (which is not expanding)? Thus,
what happens with its pathlength when the photon passes from an intergalactic space
to a galactic space, then again to intergalactic space, and so on?
From Einstein’s Field Equations one can also deduce the so-called White Holes,
which are opposite to the Black Holes, and their property is that things are spewing
out from the While Holes. But then if all matter is spewing out, as in antigravity, then
the White Hole would contain no matter at all. Will it then remain only as a pure
antigravity field? Very strange cosmic object…
If data obtained from any experiment or application matches the Theory of Relativity,
then that type of data is considered covered by and supporting the Theory of
Relativity.
But, if such data does not match the Theory of Relativity predictions, then it is
considered as not covered by the Theory of Relativity, and therefore (!) not
contradicting the Theory of Relativity.
All pretended tests of General Relativity can be solved without using the General
Relativity.
That’s why it became a break in the developing of science since every experiment and
theory has not to be in conflict with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, which became a
fictitious theory producing confusions, ambiguities and self-contradictions.
Unfortunately the optical illusions were taken for realities…
An untrue hypothesis that “the speed of light is constant in vacuum in all reference
frames (no matter with what uniformly moving speeds!) in all directions” generates a
theory whose consequences are weird, non-common sense, even anti-logical and
unrealistic. From invalid postulates one gets ridiculous conclusions like in comic
stories.
The physicists dream too much and suddenly they invent fantasy theories and require
us to take them for granted.
Theories that produce fantastic consequences are fantastic themselves.
Einstein’s Relativity is more a science game than reality.
Lorentz Transformation is just a distortion factor of the reality.
The Gravitational Waves have not been discovered.
Einstein’s Field Equations and Pseudotensor are valid in an imaginary space only.
There is no proof that Einstein’s Field Equations do not violate the common law of
conservation of energy and momentum.
Other times, in order to bridge the gap between the Theory of Relativity and
experimentally found data, all kind of strange things and ideas are invented.
Instead of fitting the theory to better describe the reality, the reality is distorted in
310
order to fit into the theory!
