Zitat:

9 Motion of Light
The second part of Einstein’s light postulate declares that the velocity of light is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body. In other words, the motion of light is not related to the motion of its source. This conclusion is based on the result of the Michelson-Morley experiment, the same experiment which served äs a point of departure for the relativity postulate. This means that both postulates Start from the same premise, namely that the velocity of the Earth and the velocity of light are nonadditive, but arrive at opposite conclusions in respect of the two motions. The first is declared to be relative, unmeasurable and undetectable, while the second is absolute, detectable and measurable. It is obviously difficult to sustain an argument which asserts that the absolute motion of one physical entity is non-existent because there is no basis for determining such motion and at the same time ascribes absolute motion to another physical entity and implies that there is a basis for determining such motion.

Nikolai Rudakov: „Light Postulate”

Zitat:

8 Light Postulate
In the preceding chapter we examined the relativity postulate, the first of the two basic premises of special relativity. We will now turn our attention to the second basic premise, the light postulate, which deals with the constancy of the velocity of light. Immediately after announcing the relativity postulate in the introduction of the 1905 paper Einstein says that he is also introducing a second postulate which is only apparently irreconcilable with the first. The second postulate states that light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body. It will be noticed that the postulate consists of two parts. The first says that light velocity is constant, the second that it is source-independent.  –  That the velocity of light is a physical constant was generally accepted by 1905 when Einstein announced his postulate. The elevation of an empirically derived measurement to an axiom did not add anything to physical knowledge. Neither did it provide any new philosophical insight into the nature of light. In terms of Newtonian theory it was an unnecessary and arbitrary manoeuvre. The purpose of axiomatising the constancy of the velocity of light was to endow light with absolute qualities in the mathematical scheme of things, without having to justify it, and to create the required basis for the subsequent development of the theory.

7 Relativity Postulate

In the introductory section of the 1905 paper Einstein, as has been mentioned in the preceding chapter, refers to the behaviour of conductors and magnets and the inability to discover any motion of the Earth relative to the aether. These two things, according to Einstein, suggest that there is no absolute rest and that the same laws of electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames of reference for which the equations of mechanics hold good. Immediately after this sentence Einstein continues: We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will hereafter be called the „principle of Relativity“) to the Status of a postulate. This is the first formulation of the relativity postulate which is one of the two basic premises on which the whole special theory rests. Einstein himself says that it is a conjecture. The meaning of conjecture is: an opinion without proof, or formed on the basis of insufficient evidence, or defective evidence, or no evidence at all.

Nikolai Rudakov: „Electrodynamics”

Zitat:

6 Electrodynamics

Einstein’s 1905 paper, commonly regarded as the document which gave birth to the theory of relativity, has the title On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies. When the paper was published, the title did not attract any attention. In retrospect, however, it looks highly incongruous because the title of Einstein’s paper cannot be regarded as exactly or even largely representative of its thesis (Keswani). The paper consists of a short introduction, a kinematical part and an electrodynamical part. The emphasis appears to be on electrodynamics, and the purpose of the kinematics is to serve as a theoretical framework. Einstein says that the theory to be developed is based — like all electrodynamics — on the kinematics oft he rigid body, and then proceeds to show how his particular set of kinematic ideas can be applied to Maxwell’s equations and some other randomly selected phenomena from electricity and optics.

Ein Harvard Physiker plädierte 1999 für den Äther

Ein Professor am Institut for Advanced Study in Princeton, Frank Wilczek, hat 1999 in “Physics today” einen Beitrag veröffentlicht mit dem Titel: The persistence of ether

Zitat:

The persistence of ether
Frank Wilczek

Quite undeservedly, the ether has acquired a bad name. There is a myth, repeated in many popular presentations and textbooks, that Albert Einstein swept it into the dustbin of history. The real story is more complicated and interesting. I argue here that the truth is more nearly the opposite: Einstein first purified, and then enthroned, the ether concept. As the 20th Century has progressed, its role in fundamental physics has only expanded. At present, renamed and thinly disguised, it dominates the accepted laws of physics. And yet, there is serious reason to suspect it may not be the last word. 

As with most general ideas, the germs of the ether philosophy, and its main competitor, can be discerned in debates among the ancient Greeks. Aristotle taught that „Nature abhors a vacuum,“ while Democritus postulated „Atoms and the void.“

Zitat:

5 Inertial Systems

One of the fundamental concepts of special relativity is that of the inertial reference frame, also referred to as inertial reference System or just inertial system. The terms „frame“ and „system“ are synonymous in the context of the theory and are not to be primarily thought of as something structurally complex. The two essential characteristics of an inertial system in the Einsteinian scheme are its ability to serve as a point of origin for Cartesian co-ordinates and its inertiality. Other characteristics are of lesser importance. The reference point function is undoubtedly the principal feature of the Einsteinian inertial system, and it places the system more in the realm of analytical geometry than in the realm of physics. This is quite in accordance with the Einsteinian principle of mathematical pre-eminence which leads to inflated significance being attached to features of mathematical nature. The second attribute, inertiality, is a basic property ascribed to all physical bodies in Newtonian dynamics and associated with their mass.

Nikolai Rudakov: „Fundamental Principles“

Zitat:

4 Fundamental Principles

The foundations of physics include a number of unanalysable concepts, axiomatic premises and ultimate principles which are essentially metaphysical. These rational elements form a framework of assumptions which serves äs an indispensable ordering and linking pattern for the unprocessed and disconnected pieces of information acquired by studying nature. Newton’s mechanics, the core of classical physics, is based on a set of partly explicit, partly implied and partly hidden assumptions, and so is Einstein’s relativity theory. The presence of metaphysical elements äs such in the foundations of physics is not a problem. Philosophical ingredients enter into the composition of fundamental ideas practically in all branches of science. The predicament lies in the fact that Newton’s and Einstein’s assumptions differ. Some scholars assert that Einstein has provided the principles for a new and completely non-Newtonian mechanics. Irrespective of whether this is the case or not, we are faced with serious discrepancies and have to decide which of the two alternatives is valid.

Nikolai Rudakov: „Mathematics“

Zitat: 

3 Mathematics
Mathematics is a product of the human mind. It belongs to the realm of pure thought and has a life of its own which is not necessarily related to, or associated with, other disciplines or intellectual activities. It is usually pursued in a way similar to the writing of literary fiction, i.e. without any relevance or correspondence to real life. Of course, parts of mathematics have achieved significance in physical science, but it appears that this happened unintentionally, more by coincidence than by design.

Mathematics deals with concepts and codes which take their beginning in the imagination of mathematicians and which frequently remain inapplicable in practice. It differs from fictional literature insofar as its „language“ uses symbolic, non-verbal means of expression, and its „grammar“ is a System of abstract operational rules characterised by a high degree of consistency. This consistency and the precision inherent in quantitativeness are the pillars on which the strength of mathematics rests. The application of the rules produces consequences which follow from initial propositions with necessity and achieve a Standard of exactitude not attainable by means of verbal language.

Zitat:

2 Mystique
Einstein’s theory of relativity is embedded in a peculiar atmosphere of emotionalism, adulation and mystery. For a theory which Claims to be abstract and scientific this is an extraordinary Situation because science, in principle, is not associated with a non-rational environment. In fact, the non-rational excrescences on the body of relativity are so conspicuous that one is inevitably led to the conclusion that Einsteinianism belongs more to the realm of the transcendental than to that of physics. It has many external characteristics, as well as the mysterious nature, of a cult. The only things which are missing and prevent it from being considered as a proper religious denomination are a corporate ecclesiastical structure and an established order of worship.

Like other Systems of faith Einsteinianism has a single and undisputed founder – Einstein. He is not just a physicist, or an outstanding physicist, but the great wise prophet and teacher whose authority extends far beyond the limits of physics. He has disciples and followers who accept his word unquestioningly, who venerate him, and who continue his work with a missionary zeal which defies explanation unless relativity is classified as a predominantly ideological or religious phenomenon.

1 Establishment

In the last sixty years physics has been enslaved by theoreticians who have succeeded in abolishing physical reality and replacing it with an empty and barren mathematical formalism. The new physicist no longer studies nature and describes what he has observed in physically meaningful terms. He sits at the desk, manipulates abstract symbols and figures, and communicates what the universe is like and how it ought to behave in the form of equations which are comprehensible only to a small and exclusive group of theoreticians like himself.
