Absolute Space And Time: A New Approach To The Speed Of Light

Synopsis

It is very interesting in this book how Einstein's famous equation E=mc2 for the equivalence of mass and energy can be derived using a Newtonian approach without recourse to relativistic concepts. - Lindsay Douglas, MA DPhil (Oxon). How does light work? 100 years ago, Einstein published his famous article on light. Despite being found incompatible with other theories, it has largely been accepted by the scientific community as a working model and given impetus to much that is useful in our understanding of the universe. Was Einstein right however, in saying that a medium in space to carry light could be ignored without consequences? With some simple maths the authors make a strong case to return to absolutes in space and time and demonstrate that Einstein may have made some serious errors. They therefore propose bypassing relativity theory without losing its valid results and offer a logical alternative that restores meaning to time, length, and the speed of light.

Clifford Denton, MA D Phil (Oxon), studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and obtained his Doctorate at the University of Oxford. His research included the identification of and educational provision for gifted children in mathematics.
