Putting Einstein to the TEST: Jim Gates

#einstein #relativity #gravity
In 1911, a relatively unknown physicist named Albert Einstein published his preliminary theory of gravity. But it hadn't been tested. To do that, he needed a photograph of starlight as it passed the sun during a total solar eclipse. So began a nearly decade-long quest by seven determined astronomers from observatories in four countries, who traveled the world during five eclipses to capture the elusive sight. Over the years, they faced thunderstorms, the ravages of a world war, lost equipment, and local superstitions. Finally, in May of 1919, British expeditions to northern Brazil and the island of Príncipe managed to photograph the stars, confirming Einstein's theory.
Sylvester James (Jim) Gates Jr. is an American theoretical physicist. He currently holds the Clark Leadership Chair in Science with the physics department at the University of Maryland College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences. He is also affiliated with the University Maryland's School of Public Policy. He served on former President Barack Obama's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
An excerpt from his book, Proving Einstein Right: The Daring Expeditions that Changed How We Look at the Universe-
At its heart, this is a story of frustration, faith, and ultimate victory--and of the scientists whose efforts helped build the framework for the big bang theory, catapulted Einstein to international fame, and shook the foundation of physics.

Did Albert Einstein get *_anything_* totally wrong given the data available to him at the time?

[@ZeroOskul]

No. He was right. Can we resolve that Einstein proved there is no pull of gravity with the endlessly repeated idea of Gravitons or other hypothesized force-carrier particles imbuing the nonexistent pull of gravity coming from you and others in the fields of physics, astrophysics, and particle physics?

[@jari2018]

dont know - never delved into what he did really - You are assume we know more that the obvious 2 he got noble prize for and now the dark energy or his constant - I just do not know, does anyone outside your physics community ?

[@PearlmanYeC]

Premature capitulation to Hubble on the ongoing cosmic expansion vs the universe at mature size and density dispute. see 'Einstein's Doubt' and 'Pearlman vs Hubble' in 'Distant Starlight and the Age, Formation and Structure of the Universe'

[@ZeroOskul]

@@jari2018 Delve into it. He's fascinating. You should know more than the obvious because very little is actually obvious. He got the Nobel Prize for discovering the PhotoElectric Effect which is what makes possible the photovoltaic cells through which we harvest solar energy. He discovered the basic evidence that shows Quantum effects influence Macro processes through Brownian Motion. He showed that motion, itself, is a comparitive force and that with no external observations there is no difference between falling forever at a regular speed on a straight line and being perfectly still, with the claim that "To say a body is in motion can only be made from the observational standpoint of a second body." He discovered the equivalence principle that defines Energy as the same thing as Mass under certain special conditions: E=MC^2. For some reason despite the Equivalence Principle, Brownian Motion, and the PhotoElectric effect clearly showing a unification between the Macro and the Quantum particle physicists claim he never succeeded in unifying the Macro with the Quantum. He discovered General Relativity that unites time and space as a single process and extends Special Relativity from involving any one body relati e any second body to describe any one body relative to the entire universe. You can experience weightlessness by leaping onto your bed, the whole time you are in the air you are completely free of the Earth's grasp which would be impossible under Newtonian gravity. He predicted wormholes and black holes and gravitational waves. He was also a pacifist and rejected racism in an era when it was very unpopular to just accept people regardless of superficial differences.

Hi, no, but he is a human too, susceptible to errors, just one idea maybe its possible develop a string (rope) made of laser ligth, maybe using kind of cristal to give it elecoidal shape. ...hope you understand. ....see some time ago Sir. Jim Gates, work on lasers, to try send a particle to the futur or past, dont remenber. .......all the best.

[@shawns0762]

For some reason people don't know that Einstein said that singularities are not possible. In the 1939 journal "Annals of Mathematics" he wrote "the essential result of this investigation is a clear understanding as to why the Schwarzchild singularities (Schwarzchild was the first to raise the issue of General relativity predicting singularities) do not exist in physical reality. Although the theory given here treats only clusters whose particles move along circular paths it does seem subject to reasonable doubt that more general cases will have analogous results. The Schwarzchild singularities do not appear for the reason that matter cannot be concentrated arbitrary. And this is due to the fact that otherwise the constituting particles would reach the velocity of light." Einstein was referring to the phenomenon of dilation (sometimes called gamma or y). This is illustrated in a common relativity graph with velocity (from stationary to the speed of light) on the horizontal line and dilation on the vertical line. Mass that is dilated is smeared through spacetime relative to an outside observer. Wherever you have an astronomical quantity of mass, dilation will occur because high mass means high momentum. There is no place in the universe where mass is more concentrated than at the center of a galaxy. General relativity does not predict singularities when you factor in dilation. Einstein is known to have repeatedly spoken about this. Nobody believed in black holes when he was alive for this reason. According to Einstein's math, the mass at the center of our own galaxy must be dilated. In other words that mass is all around us. This is the explanation for the abnormally high rotation rates of stars in spiral galaxies. The missing mass is dilated mass.

[@shawns0762]

@@maryjones5710 Thanks, I think I can help you with your anxiety. Most people don't know that black holes where popularized by the media mostly in the 1960's and belief in them gradually came to be despite the fact that Einstein said they cannot exist and there was no evidence. A fundamental question is "why can't we see light from the galactic center?" The modern answer is because gravitational forces there are so strong that not even light can escape. Einstein's answer would be because the mass there is dilated relative to an Earthbound observer. General relativity would predict that galaxies with very low mass would show no signs of "dark matter" and this has been confirmed in the galaxy NGC 1052-DF2. This is because it does not have enough mass at the center to achieve relativistic velocities therefore it is not infused with dilated mass. Black Holes and dark matter do not exist, relativity perfectly explains the phenomenon we see. A simple way to confirm this would be to calculate the star rotation rates of a large number of galaxies. This would show that all the high mass galaxies would have star rotation rates that defy the known laws of physics and all the low mass galaxies (some galaxies can appear to be low mass but can have high mass at the center) would have predictable star rotation rates.

I was saying about what happened yesterday

[@louisgiokas2206]

Back in the third quarter of the last century of the last millennium, when I was a student of physics (I later switched to computer science), I was working in the High Energy Physics department. One of my professors, while we were sitting around talking about things, said a curious thing. He said we could find out that all our theories were bulls**t tomorrow. He also said we don't expect to, but that it was a real possibility. That has stayed with me.

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

[@SuperPotatoskins]

Einstein means one stone an idiom for stupid in German. Read Einstein's travel diary it will shock you 😂. Einstein is a great example of a man who took credit for another man's work. Henri Poincaré is the originator of relativity.

[@chriskennedy2846]

I verified your Ein Stein/One Stone connection in Google translate but you say one stone is stupid? I don't get it. (Maybe I'm stupid). I've seen people who are stoned get stupid. Maybe we can call someone a "stoned one" if they are under the influence and act stupid? Would Mick Jagger be insulted? He's One Stone - but he's definitely not stupid. Anyway, I think Galileo is the originator of Relativity which Einstein acknowledges in his 1905 paper. But to your point - what Relativity eventually became had contributions from: Poincare, Lorentz, Maxwell, Heaviside, Larmor, etc. yet for the most part, history seems to forget these other contributors (in part because Maxwell provided the electric/magnetic field equations but no time dilation, etc., Larmor developed equations of his own but not as accurate as Lorentz). Einstein gives credit to - and references Maxwell and Lorentz but doesn't seem to frame his contribution (1905 Relativity) as the next step to a work that was already very much in progress. History is also silent on the fact that in 1904, Fritz Hasenohrl developed a mass/energy equation: E = 3/8 mc^2. Personally - I do think Einstein was a genius. The equivalence principle was a flash of genius. Hypothesizing the possibility of a LASER was a flash of genius. Pointing out to Bohr that Quantum Theory (Copenhagen version) was at the very least incomplete was genius (with the help of Podolsky and Rosen). However - concerning Special Relativity, I would give him half credit and not be so quick to say that his contribution was genius. History has truly shown that his prediction of time dilating as a consequence of increased velocity is 100% correct, but Einstein's attempted explanation at how or why time dilates doesn't match with experimental evidence. AND finally - It was good to see Dr. Gates in this interview. Glad he is doing well.

[@wulphstein]

The approach to science of proving a theory wrong gives me a headache. It is the engineer's job to try to use a theory to build a new technology. If a theory isn't applicable to engineering, it's wrong.

[@wulphstein]

@@maryjones5710 if theorists can't explain how to build a superstring detector, a quantum loop emitter, many world interpretation gateway opener, then these ideas are not valid. How can an engineer build equipment if the theory isn't even based on reality?

[@MichaelKhan1979]

Why was Clark living in Sri Lanka, availability. No law. No wonder law only applies to those that can't afford law. Look at Dr Brian, a freelance outlaw. Behind every outstanding success is a crime.

[@SkyDarmos]

@@Litboy_skiddit Yes, but I have shown that his whole theory is incorrect. Energy is not the source of gravity. In reality gravity depends on the baryon count.

[@maxwelldillon4805]

@@SkyDarmos Einstein never claimed that "energy is the source of gravity". What does that even mean.

[@SkyDarmos]

@@maxwelldillon4805 Einstein’s field equation is governed by the energy tensor. The reason is that he didn’t question Newton’s idea of mass causing gravity, and so when he found that mass and energy are essentially the same thing, he said that energy causes gravity. This is why General relativity is so complicated to calculate. Even gravitational waves cause gravity, and so you have gravity causing gravity and it is a mess.

[@timothy8426]

Gravity hasn't been proven. Cold resistance is the opposing force to thermodynamics. In mass resistance is neutralized. Making mass the weakest point of resistance. We vibrate through space as space amplified. Heat, or thermodynamics, is always equal to resistance, in and out of entanglement of mass. Distance of forward momentum is reduced by redirected thermal energy trajectories backward onto itself as unidirectional forward maximum momentum velocity, in resistance. Conservation of maximum momentum velocity, in resistance, is constant, in and out of entanglement. Space itself, vibrates, with the opposite cold resistance and thermodynamics throughout it. The exception is black bubbles, void of thermodynamics. It is pure resistance, of cold, stationary space. Thermodynamics is the only force of motion. Atoms in forward maximum momentum velocity, in resistance, lose heat as they transition, point to point interactions between forces of vibrating through the fabric of space itself. We are space itself vibrating in equalization to resistance, and cycling redirected trajectories of thermal energy singularity frequencies, as space amplified. We vibrate to the weakest point of resistance which is earth as the weakest point of resistance. Mass NEUTRALIZES resistance within it. Thermal energy is lost as decay, or aging, in transference through space. Stars replenish thermodynamics. Space is a stationary cold field of resistance. Thermodynamics is propelled and repelled by resistance. Forward momentum, is reduced by redirected thermal energy trajectories, cycling circulation patterns, holding mass together as mass. Mass, no matter the energy contained within, is always equal to the resistance within and without. Mass falls in equal resistance, no matter the outward force of pressure, known as weight contained in mass. When mass vibrates towards proximity mass of weaker resistance, the cycling patterns of the smaller mass can be disrupted by the greater mass of weaker resistance. The smaller mass decays its outermost cores to the weakest point of resistance. Stars expell heat towards the weakest point of resistance. Space doesn't bend, curve, or move. The universe does. Only thermodynamics curves trajectories. Magnetic fields prove hypothesis. Thermodynamics variations affecting interactions between cold and heat. Atoms electron valances are heat loss. Shock waves of resonating heat waves being replaced by forward momentum. The greater the mass the greater the replaced energy through resistance. Resistance is equal throughout space and mass. Mass is space, in unidirectional, unification of harmonics harmonization, of flow. Redirected trajectories of thermal energy singularity frequencies rebounding in mass as weight. Kinetic energy is mass. Heat is mass, at various degrees of frequencies interactions between cold resistance and thermodynamics. Black bubbles void of thermodynamics are pure resistance. The poles where thermodynamics are not in equalization, can be repelled, or jettisoned with great force. No gravity. No electrons. No anti. No dark matter. Dark energy could be considered as thermodynamics as space itself outside of entanglement. Fluidity to illusionary solidity. Distance is reduced by entanglement. Entanglement is redirected thermodynamics into cycling circulation patterns of mass in resistance. Density cannot exceed resistance. Storms of equalization in space, are equal to Storms here in atmospheres. Light is only present in atmospheres. Space itself is heat and cold resistance. Stars repel their outermost cores as pressure outward force no longer able to cycle. Decay from forward momentum resistance. Leaving a trail behind. All mass loses heat. Atoms lose heat. Electrons don't exist. Heat is both clockwise and counterclockwise in unidirectional forward maximum momentum velocity, in resistance. Heat comes from accumulated thermodynamics as it neutralizes resistance within. Only thermodynamics can disrupt cycling patterns. Proximity stars replenish thermodynamics. Mass absorbs thermal energy, or repels it. Theoretically or fact? Alpha and Omega. Everything in between is degrees of heat accumulated or releasement. Frequencies spiraling throughput space as space. Resistance is equal throughout space as space. Density cannot exceed resistance. Stars expell their mass. Space doesn't collapse. Gravity doesn't exist. Repulsion and propulsion are created by resistance. Distance is the variant. Conservation of maximum momentum velocity, in resistance. One speed in everything, just redirected, as illusionary solidity, of fluidity. Heat is one speed universal flow in everything. Distance cycling at maximum momentum velocity, in resistance, as mass.

Reread this bro

[@-Pentcho-Valev]

Einstein's relativity was disproved before it was created. The speed of light depends on the speed of the emitter, as posited by Newton's theory and proved by the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 (prior to the introduction of the length-contraction fudge factor): Wikipedia: "Emission theory, also called emitter theory or ballistic theory of light, was a competing theory for the special theory of relativity, explaining the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887...The name most often associated with emission theory is Isaac Newton. In his corpuscular theory Newton visualized light "corpuscles" being thrown off from hot bodies at a nominal speed of c with respect to the emitting object, and obeying the usual laws of Newtonian mechanics, and we then expect light to be moving towards us with a speed that is offset by the speed of the distant emitter (c ± v)." Banesh Hoffmann, Einstein's co-author, admits that, originally ("without recourse to contracting lengths, local time, or Lorentz transformations"), the Michelson-Morley experiment was compatible with Newton's variable speed of light, c'=c±v, and incompatible with the constant speed of light, c'=c: "Moreover, if light consists of particles, as Einstein had suggested in his paper submitted just thirteen weeks before this one, the second principle seems absurd: A stone thrown from a speeding train can do far more damage than one thrown from a train at rest; the speed of the particle is not independent of the motion of the object emitting it. And if we take light to consist of particles and assume that these particles obey Newton's laws, they will conform to Newtonian relativity and thus automatically account for the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment without recourse to contracting lengths, local time, or Lorentz transformations. Yet, as we have seen, Einstein resisted the temptation to account for the null result in terms of particles of light and simple, familiar Newtonian ideas, and introduced as his second postulate something that was more or less obvious when thought of in terms of waves in an ether."
