Welcome

This is a collection of thoughts and ideas mostly related to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It is split into three sections:

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

The second section looks in more detail at a few alternatives to Einstein's theories. These are:

• Relativity Challenge is a web site set up by Steve Bryant that presents the concept of Complete and Incomplete Co-ordinate Systems (CICS). The Relativity Challenge web site may be linked to by using the URL: http://www.relativitychallenge.com/
  
  
• 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 by using the URL:

• The Simultaneity-Time model of the universe. This is more speculative, and is presented as a piece of creative thinking. This topic is available as a pdf file, which may be linked to by using the URL:

The third section deals with more general ideas:

• A discussion of Causation and Free Will. This topic is available as a pdf file, which may be linked to by using the URL:

• A discussion of the possible Demise of Compatibilism. This topic is available as a pdf file, which may be linked to by using the URL: http://www.relativity-myths.org.uk/compatibilism/graphics/Demise_of_Compatibilism.pdf
  
  
• A discussion of Truth and Reality. This topic is available as a pdf file, which may be linked to by using the URL:

• A proposal for proportional Voting Powers for UK Members of Parliament. This topic it is available as a pdf file, which may be linked to by using the URL:
