Can Physics be Fixed? The 2025 Conference for Physical & Mathematical Ontology

Acknowledgments:
This work would not have been possible without the assistance rendered from the following two individuals:
PHILLIP SCRIBNER -- A retired professor of philosophy from American University whose treatise entitled "Naturalistic Reason" provided invaluable and clarifying insights into the highly convoluted history and nature of the length contraction problem. More information about his work and his theory regarding the ontological unification of physics can be found here: natreason.com
amazon.com/gp/product/1737988402?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tpbk_1&storeType=ebooks
VALERIE LINDNER -- A PhD student at Pennsylvania State University who decoded the math of Feyman's "Solutions of Maxwell’s Equations with Currents and Charges" for us, and furnished the turning point in our understanding of the problem. Extraordinarily gifted and multi-faceted, Valerie was planning to do her PhD dissertation on the subject of flowing-space, an alternative model to Einstein's theory of gravity. Sadly, she passed away from illness before this video was completed, and as such would never learn of the impact of her contribution. You can learn more about her incredible and unusual life here: http://henrylindner.net/Valerie/Valerie.html
Additionally, to our Patreon subscribers and all our viewers, we cannot express how greatly we have appreciated all your support over the years.
This channel would not be possible without you -- five years ago we never could have believed we would tackling problems like this!

Indeed, be cautious of posturers, gaslighters, stigmatizers, and Giordano-Bruno-burners who want to convince you that your inability to understand Relativity stems from your own deficient reasoning -- because when even the experts can't agree, you know there is something up...

(Note that where minutephysics says that there are "gaps" in the accelerated observer's accounting for time, this is the phenomenon of accelerative time-contraction, i.e. where observers perceive gravitational fields/time speeding up.)
