Absolute Time: Challenging Einstein's Time Dilation Theory
Alex Duthie
Absolute Time presents an introduction to theoretical physics and challenges some concepts put forward by contemporary physicists. It compiles highlights from public lectures, historical data such as the history of Earth time, and short biographies of physicists who significantly contributed to our knowledge. To aid understanding of related astronomical matters, the book includes technical information on Newton’s and Kepler’s laws, appended to relevant chapters. It also offers a credible challenge to Einstein’s theories and current thinking on time dilation. Finally, the study outlines procedural guidelines for young physicists and suggests how academic institutions can serve as custodians of reference data, facilitating more efficient future research. While mathematics itself is not challenged, the book critiques theoretical mathematics lacking proven connection to natural phenomena.
