Tribute to Herbert Dingle.
The purpose of this message is to pay tribute to professor
Herbert Dingle, whom I regard as one of the greatest scientist
that this 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 gives a very simple
proof 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 he saw the light.)
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 (See my letter to believers)
In the preface to his book prof. Dingle writes the following:
" 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."
We are one.
