Relativity - Myths and Ideas

Myths

CICS

Special Relativity

Simultaneity-Time

Truth and Reality

Causation & Free Will

Welcome

This is a collection of thoughts and ideas mostly related to Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

The first part looks at some of the myths surrounding Einstein's theory. It also gives an insight into the structure of spacetime, and speculates on String Theory and some alternatives to Einstein's theories.

The second part is a brief introduction to CICS. This is located in the myths section, but a link to it has been added here as a separate topic in its own right. The concept of Complete and Incomplete Co-ordinate Systems was originated by Steve Bryant and is presented more fully on his web site Relativity Challenge. That web site may be linked to directly by using the URL: http://www.relativitychallenge.com/.

The third part presents a radical reworking of Special Relativity by Dr John Field, a researcher at CERN. It includes links to a selection of his scientific papers. This topic may be linked to directly by using the URL: http://www.relativity-myths.org.uk/jhfield/.

The fourth part presents the simultaneity-time model of the universe. This is more speculative, and is aimed at readers who may be interested in exploring it as a piece of creative thinking. This topic may be linked to directly by using the URL: http://www.relativity-myths.org.uk/simtime/.

Although the main subject of this site is the theory of relativity, the following section deals with more general ideas:

The fifth part looks at truth and reality. This topic may be linked to directly by using the URL: http://www.relativity-myths.org.uk/truth/.

The sixth part looks at causation and free will. This topic may be linked to directly by using the URL: http://www.relativity-myths.org.uk/causal/.

Clicking on any of the links opens the relevant topic in a separate window.
