 Goodbye
Einstein:A Millennium Tribute of a Different Kind By David de Hilster I admit to being a knowledge junky. Ninety percent of the television I watch can be found on the Discovery, Learning, or History channels. The energy we humans expend these days examining the past, from the evolution of the universe to the evolution of humankind, is unsurpassed in history. And I am loving every minute of it! With a new millennium upon us, the world is reflecting beyond its normal new year's reflection, expanding its vision to the distant past. Every medium, from television to the Internet, is putting forth its list for the best and the worst of the last 100 years, or the last 1000. Although the year 2000 is merely a random historical artifact, it gives us pause to reflect on the entirety of human accomplishment. One theme rings true throughout the ages: humankind is inspired by the fearless few and moved by the scared masses. My feelings at the turn of this millennium bounce from incredible awe to complete and utter disappointment. I am in awe of the progress of human knowledge during the last 1000 years, yet for the most part, I can't believe the level of intolerance and stupidity that humankind has exhibited throughout its history. And once more, I can't get over the fact that, as we enter the second millennium, we are so smug as to think that we are better than our ancestors who did not tolerate change, or who refused to look at truth over emotion. I'm sorry to say that in the year 2000, things have changed little. While we unravel the intricate workings of the DNA of life, we live with one of the most respected branches of our scientific community in the Dark Ages. And as I read the lists of the most influential humans of the century and the millennium, I want to remove one name from the list.
So, why am I picking on the icon of our age? Am I trying to put him down so that I feel more important? Hardly. I believe Einstein was a fascinating person, but I know something that the scared masses do not: Einstein is wrong. The truth is, I am not saying anything that futurists don't already know: EVERYONE is wrong sometime in the future. As time marches forward, everyone and every theory will be modified or deleted from human knowledge as uninteresting or obsolete. Future generations will be judge, jury, and executioner of everything we do during our lifetimes as either historically important in human history, or simply a curiosity or oddity. We are all doomed to become obsolete. I am here to tell you that Einstein's days are numbered. The Internet For those of us living during the passage into the year 2000, the wave of the moment without a doubt is the Internet. For us, it is truly changing the world as we know it. Instant and ubiquitous, the Internet is quickly stretching its tentacles throughout the entirety of the human race, breaking down all barriers to human knowledge. Now, no one can hide information from others. Right or wrong, if there is someone thinking it, it is out there on the Internet. For every idea, there is a counter idea. And for every positive, a negative. So it is not surprising that you will find people on the Internet who believe Einstein to be wrong. Just as you will find people who believe the earth to be flat. On the surface, believing that Einstein is wrong, is like believing the earth to be flat. The word "crackpot" is a favorite descriptor here, though in reality the two are very very different. Today, it is impossible to refute that the earth is round. If you start traveling in one direction on the equator, you will eventually arrive from the other side. This is an impossibility for the "flat earth" theory. So the theory that the earth is flat can be disputed by repeatable and copious experimental evidence that lies outside of the explanatory power of "flat earthers". Also a factor is that the masses are educated to a level that the evidence is easily seen and understood by the average human being. Although we may be bombarded by the media to the contrary, today Einstein does not hold a very strong position. First, the average person has no idea what the "theory of relativity" is. Worse, experts in the field have a hard time explaining it, and an even harder time finding evidence for it. Ask your average physicist to cite proof for Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, and you will be lucky to get any answer. And if you get one of the standard answers like "atomic clock" experiments or muon decay, there is no hope of ever making these explanations fit "common sense". Even DNA and microchips are easily understood by the average person today, precisely because they "make sense". Instead of growing stronger and permeating our everyday lives, Einstein's theory grows more paradoxical and weak in its explanatory power with time. But what is wrong about Einstein's theory? What about physics of the 20th century in general? Let's take a look at some of the notions
Speed of Light - Can't go faster! Not prudent! Can't be done! Sure, if we use abstract mathematics and impose that upon the universe, anything seems possible, but can't pass it. No, no, no! Even at the gut level we all feel it is not true, Einstein's theory is absolute on this. Can't, can't, can't! Only in the movies. Wormholes - You go inside, and come out somewhere else. Where? Why? Please tell me first of all WHY it is a hole, and WHY it is hooked to somewhere else. And what does the bending of the "time-space" fabric mean. This is pure voodoo. I really would hate to be alive 100 years from now and have to face the laughter about this one!
Big Bang - We are now in the physics classroom of the year 2099. The teacher asks, "Is it plausible that the entire universe was in an infinitesimally small point and exploded? Yes, Jackie?" Jackie: "It would be physically impossible to put all matter in the universe into a very small point". Jimmy: "And besides, what was around it? Non-Universe?" Laughter. Come on folks, even the Hubble Telescope is showing us a universe where moons, planets, stars and galaxies live and die in a wonderful circle of life. What is the Big Bang stuff? Neutrinos - Ok, so I have this new particle that is massless and chargeless to take away the extra energy that is mandated by Einstein's Special Relativity, which states that mass in motion must get bigger. Even though all the experiments done today with radioactive material completely agree with the ordinary physics and chemistry of matter, Einstein demands: "more energy!" Therefore, since we can't find it, let's invent this magical particle that doesn't exist, to take away the energy that doesn't exist and everything will be ok. Ok? And yea, so it is true that we can never detect neutrinos, even though we have tried for the last 50 years and have spent billions and billions of dollars. And yea, such a model predicts that the big bang will end up in a cold neutrino soup. Sorry, one more thing: neutrinos change as they fly through space. Please though, don't ask me how or why. Missing Mass - Einstein imposed extra energy for moving objects in the universe, from the smallest subatomic particle, to entire clusters of galaxies. (Who cares that such a notion violates the conservation of energy!) Energy equals mass. Therefore Einstein imposed extra mass for us to find in the universe. Neutrinos and Missing Mass are bedfellows. They both owe their existence to Einstein's "move it, gain it" theory. Like neutrinos, we're doing a damn bad job at finding it. Did I also mention that we are equally poor at describing how much is missing? But hey: it's modern science! Who cares if your strawman is moving and it's a strawman. (Does that mean the strawman's mass is increasing? Oh, never mind...)
Hold on Dave, you're off on a rant. Calm down. Take a deep breath. Go get something to eat before you go faint. Back to reality, whatever that may be. It's 2000. Where are we? Can we look upon this time with foresight to see the forest from the trees? We can, at least with physics. Thanks to one fearless person who has put physics back on track. No quarks, no strings, no neutrinos, no big bangs, no black holes, no wormholes, and certainly no time, mass, and length changing just to keep the speed of light constant.
And from a real observation of a real problem in applying Einstein's Special Relativity equations to decay or "radioactivity", he found a flaw in Einstein's theory. Einstein is wrong. Historically, Einstein has been wrong since the early 1940s, when Carezani discovered the problem. Until then, Einstein's theory was undisputed. Yet the physics world puts Einstein at the highest level one can attain in the field of physics. He is placed so high in fact, that all physicists living after him have had the emotional pressure of believing that no matter what they do, they will never be "Einstein". That is a horrific thought. Sort of like saying no one will be a better golfer than Jack Nicklaus. Yet Tiger Woods has come along. In fact, once you put Einstein back into his place, the number of great physicists of the 20th century increases by 100 fold! What a tremendous thought! For Einstein to be wrong is to shatter an emotion so important in the psyche of those living in the year 2000 that it is an impossibility for us, not because he is wrong, but because physicists have been telling us he is right all of our lives. It is the deception that hurts, not the fact. After all, physicists are no different from the stone cutters of the great age of cathedrals who wandered about Europe in great demand, constructing epic monuments to religion that inspire us to this day. For their time, they were great craftsman but, eventually, knowledge advanced and the physics of stone was pushed to its limits. A new material had to replace stone. That material was steel. In the year 2000, we are in the last days of "modern" physics. For most
of the 20th Today in 2000, that is no longer the case. Why? Because no one can respect something they don't understand, that doesn't impact their immediate lives. Today, "computer programmer" or "Internet expert" commands much more attention than "particle physicist". Computers change our lives in 2000. Particle physicists don't. Bill Gates changes our lives. Einstein does not. So what to do? A growing number of independent physicists, scientists, teachers, and students are beginning to take things into their own hands. They have, since the first days of Einstein, challenged his ideas, and with more time and exposure are beginning to make headway. Much of the progress owes thanks to the Internet. Leading the way is Autodynamics, the most promising direction to date, that many independents have called "the only REAL alternative out there" to Einstein's theory. That theory was discovered by Ricardo Carezani.
This theory was not invented! That is important to note. It was discovered. That is science. This theory does not claim to be the "mother-of-all-theories". It claims to be the next step. Autodynamics' implications are tremendous and point to an exciting future -- a new physics with real-life applications! Time, Mass, Length contraction - All this is gone. Goodbye! Goodbye frequently asked question files on the Internet with paradoxical explanations for long poles in short barns and twins with different ages! Speed of Light - The limit has been lifted! Now that it's been lifted, experiments trying to produce faster-than-light anything are feasible. Any young people out there who want to be the first to break the light speed barrier? You bet your photon!
Black holes - Black holes don't suck because they don't exist. Very dense objects do exist. But they are finite and don't suck up everything in sight. No mathematical points of singularity (infinite points of mass) either. Black holes out, dense objects in. And for god's sake, let's call them something nice like sparkling dense objects, or nifty dense objects. Big Bang - The big bang is a big bust. Let's believe our eyes and the Hubble Telescope and say that the universe is an eternal soup where moons, planets, suns, galaxies, and super clusters live and die. And no, it doesn't go against the belief in a god creator, just think of the god as eternal just like his residence the universe! Neutrinos - Goodbye. But a heartfelt goodbye. We are sad to see you go because it was your invention that helped point out the flaw in Einstein's theory. You are like an enemy prisoner who with cowardice leads us to victory. We have learned to love you, though you are but a fairy tale. Missing Mass - Thrown out with the neutrinos. Since moving no longer changes time and mass and length, there is nothing missing anymore. Can't miss what's not there. Quarks & Strings - Love, charm, up, down, strangeness? Who wants or understands that? Let's go back and try something new like SCIENCE maybe? Something revolutionary like doing experiments, observing their reactions, and THEN making conclusions. Out are the days of quarks where the outcome was decided by the committee BEFORE the discovery of the "hard-to-find" top quark. Let's face it, your names gave you away as phonies. Then there are the new things! Pico-Graviton - A new model based on the old model of gravity
called the "graviton". Einstein's General Theory of Relativity does not
describe a mechanism for gravity. The pico-graviton (or very very very
small graviton) in Autodynamics is inspired by phenomena not explained by
Newton or Einstein like the speeding Gravity Control - Hey, explain the mechanism behind gravity, and then learn how to control it. Sort of like the electron was known well before it was used. Fun stuff! Atom Manufacturing - Einstein pointed the way to taking them apart for use in every day life, what about the idea of manufacturing atoms with atom smashers? Some of the first applications of Autodynamics have postulated that particle collisions can yield atoms such as oxygen. Who needs ice on the moon when you can make it from moonbeams? What other doors does Autodynamics open up for the future? First, Autodynamics has to be accepted as the great truth that it is. And thanks to the Internet, this is happening more and more. Independent students of physics who are not exposed to Einstein's brain-twisting, paradox-filled theory are embracing Autodynamics vigorously. Students world-wide are doing science projects with Autodynamics, with this amazing by-product: teachers are learning about Autodynamics AFTER their students. Many have emailed us for copies of the Autodynamics book so that they can catch up to their students, who have "sucked up" everything they could from the layman's section of the Autodynamics website. But don't worry! The mathematics behind Autodynamics only requires elementary algebra and elementary calculus: something within the reach of today's high school students. There is even a race among these students for the Nobel Prize! You see, Carezani has described an experiment to prove Autodynamics correct and Special Relativity wrong. The first to do the experiment will certainly change the direction of physics forever, and there are students out there with just such ideas in mind.
Autodynamics is not the last physics theory. It will be replaced someday by another, better and stronger than ever. And my future counterparts, if they still use word processors, will take this article and do a global "find and replace", putting a new name in place of Carezani's. A new generation is pressuring the old about Einstein's theory being wrong, and Autodynamics being a new direction. And in the year 2099, someone will look back upon the end of the 20th century and write a humorous story about the days when we believed that time changed when we moved, that wormholes connected distant parts of the universe, and that black holes sucked. All in the same tone of disbelief as when we talk about the sun traversing the sky carried by a chariot of horses. These are my reflections on this humanly random day we've chosen to reflect on 1000 years of our history. May the next 1000 years be filled with less fearful people and more fearless ones. Even though we say that human nature doesn't change, the next 1000 years may well yield a change, so that defects of ego and emotion will not intrude in the realm of science, where logic must rule over whim.

Einstein is in almost every list that
experts today have compiled not only for thee last 100 years but the last
1000. Usually, he is in the top ten and has even attained first place in
one noted poll. We hold him in such great reverence that his name is
synonymous with the pinnacle of genius on this planet. "Way to go,
Einstein!" is a popular phrase in today's lingo. His brain is even
preserved in a jar so that someday we can study why he was so smart.
Time, Mass, Length - these change so that the
speed of light doesn't have to. You know about the paradox problems like
having a 10-meter pole in a 5 meter-long barn? Well, the explanations for
such brain twisters will twist your brain even more, so that it becomes an
emotional issue of either admitting you are too dumb to understand it, or
pretending you are smart and understand something you really don't
understand at all. Confusing? It should be!
Black holes - Worse than wormholes. This is
"Black". Why is black bad? Isn't black beautiful? Why not "deep blue"
holes, or "emerald green" holes? And why do they suck? Isn't gravity a
finite thing? How can it become infinitely powerful? I mean, if you have a
finite amount of mass, doesn't it attract with a finite force? Where is
this "sucking" coming from? And what about the point of singularity in the
middle where things go infinite? Where is there room in the universe for
such non-common sense? ("Black holes don't suck" is a
quote from Dr. Ricardo Carezani.)
Quarks & Strings - Let us forget that
science is a journey of observing phenomena in the physical world, making
a hypothesis about them, and then trying to discover the theory and math
to model those phenomena. Let's invent particles that fit whatever model
we have today, and reverse engineer the universe? Sound good? Ok, first
we've got subatomic particles called protons, neutrinos, and electrons.
Let's reverse engineer a subatomic particle that can make up these
particles! Ok, so our forefathers OBSERVED their subatomic particles
before they postulated them, or at least found indirect evidence for them.
But that is OLD science! We do new science in the footsteps of the great
Einstein: make a theory and go find the evidence. Who cares if Quarks and
Strings are more complicated than the particle they make up? We have our
fame, fortune, and egos to feed.
His name is Ricardo Carezani.
century, there were a few professions
that would command attention at any social gathering: "I'm a brain
surgeon", "I'm a rocket scientist", and "I'm a physicist". In fact, being
a physicist or better yet, a "particle" physicist commanded respect.
Simply put, Carezani found that Einstein's
Special Relativity theory was based on a mathematically superfluous frame
of reference that must be eliminated, thus eliminating the paradoxical
fluctuation of time, mass, and length. The equations that appear once this
frame is eliminated describe a universe based on the transformation of
energy into mass and mass into energy. Not much different from Einstein's
most famous equation: E = mc2. This changes a paradox of
Einstein's relativity into a common sense theory that Einstein came close
too, but didn't quite find: Autodynamics.
Wormholes - Goodbye. They are best left to your
garden.
up of orbits
of all bodies, the apparent slowing down of the pioneer spacecraft, the
lunar distancing, and that funny phenomenon where pendulums slow down
during full eclipses. All explained by the "Pico-Graviton" model which was
directly inspired by the Autodynamic universe, in which mass and energy
change back and forth.
Change is inevitably linked to the innocence of youth.
Young people have no emotional ties, no bills to pay, and no fear of
mistakes; their drive for the truth blinds them to obstacles.
Autodynamics, the Internet, and the current disarray of physics have come
together at the beginning of the new millennium to mark the beginning of a
new era in physics.
