How Long can Wikipedia Keep Making False Claims about Einstein’s Flawed Relativity Theory?

There is a litany of fundamental problems with Einstein’s theory of relativity. The Lorentz transformation (LT), which the centerpiece of his theory, is not internally consistent, thereby proving that is not valid. It claims that lengths can contract while times increase without changing the value of its ratio, the speed of light. It argues in favor of the symmetric character of time dilation, even though the experiments with circumnavigating clocks carried out in 1970 by Hafele and Keating contradict this claim. It also claims that events which are simultaneous for one observer may not be so for another, even though the Global Positioning system relies on the assumption that the emission of light pulses occurs at exactly the same time for both the atomic clock on an orbiting satellite and its counterpart of the Earth’s surface. Wikipedia supports Einstein’s theory at every turn. The Law of Causality, which Newton relied upon in formulating his First Law of Kinetics, is never mentioned by Wikipedia in the context of Einstein’s theory. The fact that an alternative (Newton-Voigt) space-time transformation has been introduced which is consistent with the Law of Causality and Galileo’s Relativity Principle (RP) is totally ignored by Wikipedia. The Uniform Scaling Method of physical properties is ignored as well, despite its usefulness in comparisons of the results of experiments from the vantage points of different rest frames. All of these inadequacies of Wikipedia are discussed in detail below.

Abstract

There is a litany of fundamental problems with Einstein’s theory of relativity. The Lorentz transformation (LT), which the centerpiece of his theory, is not internally consistent, thereby proving that is not valid. It claims that lengths can contract while times increase without changing the value of its ratio, the speed of light. It argues in favor of the symmetric character of time dilation, even though the experiments with circumnavigating clocks carried out in 1970 by Hafele and Keating contradict this claim. It also claims that events which are simultaneous for one observer may not be so for another, even though the Global Positioning system relies on the assumption that the emission of light pulses occurs at exactly the same time for both the atomic clock on an orbiting satellite and its counterpart of the Earth’s surface. Wikipedia supports Einstein’s theory at every turn. The Law of Causality, which Newton relied upon in formulating his First Law of Kinetics, is never mentioned by Wikipedia in the context of Einstein’s theory. The fact that an alternative (Newton-Voigt) space-time transformation has been introduced which is consistent with the Law of Causality and Galileo’s Relativity Principle (RP) is totally ignored by Wikipedia. The Uniform Scaling Method of physical properties is ignored as well, despite its usefulness in comparisons of the results of experiments from the vantage points of different rest frames. All of these inadequacies of Wikipedia are discussed in detail below.
