Tribute to Herbert Dingle.
" It is ironical that, in the very
field in
which Science has claimed superiority to Theology, for example - in the
abandoning of dogma and the granting of absolute freedom to criticism -
the positions are now reversed. Science will not tolerate criticism of
special relativity, while Theology talks freely about the death of God,
religionless Christianity, and so on." H.Dingle
This message is a
tribute to professor Herbert Dingle,
one of the greatest scientist's the world has
ever seen. Professor Dingle's greatest achievement came in 1972 when
his book, "SCIENCE at the Crossroads" was published by
Martin Brian & O'Keeffe, London.
In his book, prof.
Dingle shows that Einstein's theory of special
relativity is an irrational theory. For a man with prof. Dingle's
background, (He wrote at least a dozen 'scientific' books before his
rationality was restored ) to publish, " SCIENCE at the
Crossroads" was
indeed an act of courage unparalleled in recent times.
I quote from page
17 of prof. Dingle's book,
" Science at the crossroads ":
"
It would naturally be supposed that the point at issue, even if less
esoteric than it is generally supposed to be, must still be to subtle
and profound for the ordinary reader to be expected to understand it.
On the contrary, it is one of the most extreme simplicity. According to
the theory, if you have two exactly similar clocks, A and B, and one is
moving with respect to the other, they must work at different
rates,i.e. one works more slowly than the other. But the theory also
requires that you cannot distinguish which clock is the 'moving' one;
it is equally true to say that A rests while B moves and that B rests
while A moves. The question therefore arises: how does one determine,
consistently with the theory, which clock works the more slowly? Unless
the question is answerable, the theory unavoidably requires that A
works more slowly than B and B more slowly than A - which it requires
no super- intelligence to see is impossible. Now, clearly, a theory
that requires an impossibility cannot be true, and scientific integrity
requires, therefore, either that the question just posed shall be
answered, or else that the theory shall be acknowledged to be false.
But as I have said, more than 13 years of continuous effort has failed
to produce either response. The question is left by the experimenters
to the mathematical specialists, who either ignore it or shroud it in
various obscurities, while experiments involving enormous physical risk
go on being performed. "
There is no need to
say much more about Einstein's
'special theory of relativity', it is clearly irrational, it was
fabricated by Einstein in order to correct a false premise.
"Science at the
Crossroads" is now available for reading on the internet.

— The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory
with the startup of a massive new accelerator--the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC)--in Europe this summer. On September 10, LHC scientists
will attempt to send the first beam of protons speeding around the
accelerator.
"The LHC is a discovery machine. We don't know what we'll find," said
Abraham Seiden, professor of physics and director of the Santa Cruz
Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP) at the University of California,
Santa Cruz.
Let us hope and
pray that this 'test' does not end in disaster.
