One Stone | Flaws and Contradictions within Special Relativity - Not as Coherent or Scientific as Advertised @St37One | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
1. Defining Simultaneity, Time, and Space on the basis of the frame-dependent speed of light was a profound mistake. Defining time Locally and Narrowly through accepting the standard of the atomic clock was also a mistake.
2. Rotating the Light Clock relative to the direction of motion produces strange effects which include an alternating speed of light and an alternating time dilation. It helps to derive the Lorentz equations yourself from the Light Clock thought experiment in order to understand all of the relevant assumptions and limitations.
3. Reality doesn't play poker, but according to Special Relativity, the symmetry of the twin paradox is akin to a poker game. Rather than to accept this absurd view, there must be an alternative model. I say that both twins are wrong.
4. Special Relativity is unfalsifiable. We cannot say that galaxies are moving apart from one another because to admit that they are moving would imply that time dilation must be observed (but it isn't) and that superluminal velocity is observed (but Special Relativity forbids this). So it was decided that this relative motion that we observe through redshift values doesn't actually count as relative motion. Instead it is called "expansion" or "stretching" so that Special Relativity can escape from refutation. The truth of Special Relativity trumps reality and empirical evidence. However, the way that the redshift is modelled mathematically amounts to a distinction without a difference between motion and expansion and between Doppler Effect and stretching.
I say that motion is motion is motion no matter what it is called. We can't successfully play shallow word games forever because reality eventually catches up with us.
