It’s About
Time presents an introduction to theoretical physics as well as challenges to
some of the concepts put forward by theoretical physicists of our time. These
scientists have presented such concepts in countless public lectures,
highlights of which are compiled here along with a variety of historical data,
such as the history of earth time. Also included are short biographies of
physicists who have contributed significantly to our knowledge base.
To help
foster understanding of the related astronomical matters, It’s About Time includes
technical information relating to Newton and Kepler’s laws. Technical
discussions are appended to the end of each relevant chapter. Furthermore, it
offers a credible and significant challenge to Einstein’s theories and to the
current thinking on time dilation.
Finally, the
study outlines some procedural guidelines for young physicists and suggests how
academic institutions can become custodians of a central depository of
reference data, facilitating future physicists into more efficient and fruitful
endeavors.
This study
offers no challenge to mathematics, which is a pure and exact science. When a
physicist is able to have the mathematics represent natural phenomena, then
mathematics becomes a necessary tool for our simplified understanding of
nature. Eventually all of nature will be reduced to mathematical terms. The
challenge presented here is to theoretical mathematics with no proven
relationship to natural phenomena.
