Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
“How significant is this quadrupole-octopole alignment? As a simple definition of preferred axis, [it] denotes the spherical harmonic coefficients of the map in a rotated coordinate system….if the CMB is an isotropic Gaussian random field, then a chance alignment this good requires a 1-in-62 fluke.” (Max Tegmark, Angélica de Oliveira-Costa and Andrew Hamilton, “A high resolution foreground cleaned CMB map from WMAP,” Physical Rev. D, July 26, 2003, p. 14)
To translate the above, "Scientists have found that two specific patterns (four poles and eight poles within the cosmic background radiation), in the early universe's picture are lined up in a very unusual way. If our current understanding of the universe is correct, this alignment should be completely random. But the odds of it happening by chance are very low, maybe about 1 in 62 (or much lower in the author’s opinion). This suggests that there might be something about the universe we don't understand."
The above observation and interpretation indicate a far smaller universe than we are told. That is what they mean by ‘something about the universe that we don’t understand’. Distant events, WMAP, JWST, COBE and other telescopic and probe information, do not support the infinite universe model. Einstein was right when he originally believed, based on some basic Newtonian logic, that the universe was likely static and not infinite or expanding. One for Einstein! More here
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus:
‘Occam's Razor is, of course, not an arbitrary rule nor one justified by its practical success. It simply says that unnecessary elements in a symbolism mean nothing. Signs which serve one purpose are logically equivalent; signs which serve no purpose are logically meaningless.’
Ludwig is right and this is one reason amongst hundreds why Relativity is a false religion. It is suffused with meaningless maths and symbols.
One of the greatest frauds in history is the Relativity cult. It has elevated and cojoined abstruse mathematical models with ‘science’. We are assaulted with the destructive arcana and tautological calculations used by the cult of Relativity as described on this substack in various posts. Because the cat jumped does not mean that Relativity is true. Relativity has no connection with physical, mechanical proofs or experimentation.
If we address philosophy, we know that in reality, in our world, the word ‘science’ has come to mean nothing. It is now defined as the ‘right answer’, as demanded by the ‘Enlightenment’ theory of ‘reason’ uber-alles, sermonised to the peasants by the high priests of the Church of ‘The Science’. We live in the matrix of Saint Simon’s ‘Church of Reason’ where reason and rationality are not understood and are applied without definition.
Much of what is deemed rational is irrational, and much which is described as reasonable is unreasonable and unverifiable. More here
Einstein himself admitted to an unlimited celestial light-speed ten years after he claimed it was constant.
The ‘greatest scientist evah’ wrote:
“In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity.
A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position. Now we might think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the case.
We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity; its results hold only so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational fields on the phenomena (e.g., of light).”
Albert Einstein, Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, translation by Robert W. Lawson, 1961, p. 85.
In the quote above, the Einstotle says that the key postulate upon which the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) is based is wrong, but that is okay. It just proves that STR is valid though not infallible nor infinite! Doesn’t everyone wish that their philosophy or theory, no matter the objective evidence or proof, is valid and a ‘law’ that others must follow. We discussed in many posts why Einstein knew that light speed was variant.
We have discussed Relativity and what Einstein, and the Relativists were trying to accomplish. Einstein never ‘discovered’ ‘Relativity’ as a theory or concept, but simply a version of it based on the work of many predecessors and contemporaries. In essence he was a plagiariser and a manipulator, or to be generous, a simplifier of other people’s work, even though his work is tautological, convoluted, issued and propagated without physical proof.
Einstein’s version of Relativity is unique in its philosophical and metaphysical application of a merged spacetime, itself based on Minkowski’s and Palagyi’s maths. This is of course one of the greatest frauds in science. Time can never be merged with space as many posts outline (examples, here, here, here).
It is absurd, nay insane, to assign a merged time and space dimension along a 4th axis, affixed to Euclid’s 3 axes, pointing nowhere; and claim that your apple (or the Earth), has its own coordinate system, occupying a unique ‘space’ within the grid; endowed with its own ‘relative time’, different than that of the orange (or our moon) sitting next to it.
Relativity is a fantasy. More here
Previously we went through the tortured gymnastics used by the Einstein cult to mathematically describe the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, King of the Greek and Roman gods.
The purported proofs for Relativity don’t exist and are propaganda. The mathematics do not resolve the issues with Newtonian mechanics, supposedly in evidence in areas of high density or gravity, or near to the speed of light. Newtonian physics ably explains the attraction between planets.
Newtonianism does not fully explain why planets are aligned in their orbits given it does not reference the Euler or Coriolis forces. But Newtonian mechanics is simpler, provable and experimentally valid – unlike Relativity. It does empirically explain what we view in real life and in the cosmos. It is based on an aether, and as with the aether, there is no need to overturn it or destroy it with Einstein’s fantasy worlds of made-up maths.
Problem statement: ‘What is the gravitational attraction between Jupiter and the Sun’. Let’s start with a comparison of mass. More here
Relativity was concocted to defend Copernicanism and the theory that the Earth is moving, gyrating, disco-dancing 585 million miles around the Sun, each year. It might be. But the mechancial proof for the Barber of Seville routine in space is very, very thin to non-existent.
Einstein, the great philosophical comedian and artificer, along with many others from the cult of mathematics, concocted the endless abstract inanity of Relativity to deny Michelson-Morley’s 1887 proof from light interference experiments, that no movement of this planet can be found, but an aether wind detected.
STR is false given it does not include gravity, nor an aether. Gravity exists. So does the aether. STR was created to avoid the implications of light experiments which found an aether but no movement of this planet. GTR tried to amend STR by adding in both gravity and a ‘not ponderable’ aether. GTR therefore nullifies STR. GTR is based on circular maths and tautological ‘reasoning’ and explains nothing because it means nothing. The tensor calculus field equations are invalid. When used in reality they derive nothing.
Einstein admitted there is no relationship between maths and reality. The two are distinct. My lying eyes tell me that the train crashed into the mountain. Not so says the Einstotle, ‘It is also true to say dat dee mountain crashed into dee train’ he assures me. ‘Relativity’, he condescendingly informs me, smiling, ‘has proven it my little mensche’. The polite and right response is to break out the white strait-jacket, apply it to the Einstotle, and quietly usher him into a small room in a pleasantly located sanitorium and lock the door.
....Einstein ingested Lorentz whole except for the bones and joints around the aether and the implied kinetic energy of ‘space’. He removed these and refined the equations around moving objects with no absolutes. It was one thing to say that ‘rods shrank’ (or material pace Fitzgerald) as they moved through the aether with the Earth, even at the reasonably slow pace of 30 km / second. However, to be consistent, Lorentz understood that clocks running through the aether must also be affected and must therefore ‘tick’ more slowly by the same factor that made the rods shrink.
When Relativity was first proposed in 1905, almost immediately, many perceptive scientists and mathematicians noticed the tautological nature of Einstein’s calculus. The equations themselves are circular and of little value. It is not hard to spot and is explained below. As part of the author’s quotidian existence he is involved with tensor calculus equations deployed in data analysis. He knows full well that you can create complex tensor and field equations that no one understands, to generate a desired output, or parse the data in a certain desired manner. This is often done to prove an apriori or confirmation bias.
A few posts have assessed the tautology of the transformation equations which is the foundation of Relativity. The Einstotle’s philosophy that everything, time and space, all objects, all grids, all motion, all aspects of life is ‘Relative’, was based on flawed maths which are called, ‘Einstein Field Equations’. As you would expect these are canonical ‘laws’ within ‘science’ and ‘education’. Memorise, regurgitate, repeat.
The cornerstone of General Relativity or ‘GTR’ is the Einstein field equations (EFE), which describes the unproven and frankly ridiculous curvature of spacetime in relation to the distribution of mass and energy within it. More here
Einstein and his gravitational ‘theorem’ do not explain anything. For Relativists, gravity is a wave oscillation found within the non-existent (unproven) ‘continous field’ of a merged space-time curvature. This theory has never explained why you are glued to your chair and not floating off somewhere.
Pace ‘The Science’, there are 3 ‘claims’ which ‘prove’ Relativity.
1. Bending of starlight around the Sun (absurd, this was known to medieval natural philosophers). See below.
2. Connected to #1, ‘gravitational redshifts’, sometimes called ‘gravitational lensing’. Redshifts are discussed on this substack, given they actually disprove Relativity. There is no factual evidence that a ‘redshift’ means a recessionary movement nor long ages.
3. Mercury’s perihelion (easily explained by both Newtonian maths (Gerber 1887) and the cosmic aether.
Let’s focus on #1 – the ‘bending of starlight’.

Einstein received a Nobel prize in 1921, for his earlier work on photons and ‘Brownian motion’. He should probably have surmised that it was unlikely that space is ‘empty’ and equally unlikely that particles are not connected, even over a great distance. His own gravitational theorem, which is wrong, posits that gravity is a wave, generated by unknown forces (mass gravitational attraction), through the non-existent 4th dimension of space and time.
GTR by default must support some ‘gravitational spooky action at a distance’.
A Nobel winner for a discovery related to photons and light should have known about the many experiments in the 19th and early 20th centuries which demonstrated a spatial connection between particles.
One would expect that a Nobel winner in the area of photonic energy would have been cognisant of such physical experimental evidence and keen to reproduce such mechanical proofs or at least work with others to try to explain them.
However, as usual, there is no evidence that Einstotle or the cult of Relativity ever interacted with 20th century scientists and engineers who were engaged with electron and photon experimentation. Relativity is always a maths game.

Einstein, or Einstotle, was a philosopher. He was not a scientist. He was not an engineer. He was not a practical builder of anything. You can’t even call him a physicist, given he never worked on ‘physical matter’ or mechanical projects. He was an abstract, abstruse Jewish-cosmological philosopher, who had some skills with calculus, and as the quote above states, ‘rigged’ his maths to prove his philosophy.
Einstotle’s math skills were pretty advanced but probably no more refined than the skills that many a university graduate in maths today possesses. If they were curious enough, current graduates could find the tautological errors in Einstein’s tensor calculus models. I can help them, working with tensor calculus as I do in building AI models. Most of these clever students never bother to inquire and just assume that the Einstotle was ‘right’. He was wrong on just about everything.

One of the most risible aspects of the philosophy of Relativity, is its indiscriminate and peculiar use of an ‘Observer’. If you prove that light speed is variant (Sagnac, Michelson-Morley, Dayton Miller etc), the Relativist will simply declare that this is only true in ‘your reference frame’ by ‘your observer’.
If we move the reference frames and ‘observer’ around, then presto, everything is ‘relative’ and light speed is indeed finite. The entire philosophy of Relativity is based on an ‘observer’ viewing something at the absolute and finite speed of light (whatever that might actually be), hitting the retina. Relativity is composed of the following assumed postulates:
Light speed is the only absolute in the universe and its speed is finite (this is wrong and admitted as erroneous by Einstein). Relativity demands that every observer receives light hitting their retina at an absolute speed.
Virtually every idea and formula surrounding Special Relativity is based on ‘what the observer sees’ at this invariant (unchanging) speed of light as it hits the retina.
Each ‘observer’ sits in their own ‘reference frame’ or grid or map. You in your chair is one ‘frame’. Myself crushing my own chair is another frame. We both see the same event. We can both mathematically describe it from completely different observer viewpoints. I saw the cat eat the bird. You saw the bird fly into the cat’s mouth. We can use maths to prove both.
There is no absolute framework, just ‘relative frameworks’ and the only ‘absolute’ in Relativity is the speed of light in vacuo (vacuums don’t exist in space of course).
This observer-related reference frame is referred to as the ‘inertial frame of reference’. Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called the Law of Inertia.

Einstein was asking his camp follower Zangger, if the rather noisy and violent disciples of Relativity, or ‘the colleagues’, might be willing to denounce light speed invariance? After all there is the great ‘obstacle’, namely that the invariance of light speed in Special Relativity and Einstein’s ‘new’ General Theory of Relativity (GTR) with its ‘gravitational aether’, are at odds and incompatible. Would the ‘colleagues’ be amenable to some sophistry to amend the gap, Einstotle asks Bishop Zangger?
By 1912, Einstein fully comprehended that he had to modify his claim about the constancy of the speed of light, since the c postulate (light speed invariance) of the Special Theory (STR) only applied in the absence of gravitational fields which is what GTR was proposing. Therefore, light speed invariance was wrong. A conundrum indeed. How to save his STR while elaborating the ‘mathematical proofs’ for his GTR? More here
We have written on this substack why General Relativity is wrong. We can pursue this a little further by looking at the Einstotle’s theory of gravity. It has been mentioned that gravity can bend light. This is not entirely accurate. Newton was closer to the truth. Newton believed that light refraction was due to gravity and other forces which would bend light. This is more apposite (see below). It also disproves General Relativity and the Einstotle’s belief that the aether was simply a ‘gravitational field’ devoid of energy, kinematics, or material (the aether exists, Einstein was wrong).
In 1915, Einstein developed his GTR, the geometric theory of gravitation that is the current description of gravity in modern physics. This is part of the standard model of science and is taught and emitted by the narrative owners and is found in all textbooks and AI.
GTR states that gravity is a geometric property of spacetime, in which the curvature of spacetime is directly related to the energy and momentum of whatever matter and radiation are present.
That at least is the current refinement. This is not really what the Einstotle actually proposed. The Einstotle had chosen his maths teacher Minkowski’s spacetime model to graphically show the gravitational forces implied in GTR. He wanted an aether of gravity devoid of energy, merging Space with Time into a 4th dimension where Time now becomes ‘relative’ and in effect disappears as a subjective measurement.

Physicist Charles Lane Poor was one of many intelligent people in the 1920s, who was deeply fatigued by the Relativistic fantasy worlds created by Einstein and his cult. Poor’s 1922 work, "Gravitation versus Relativity," cuts a swathe through Relativity’s gravitational assertions. Poor explains in non-technical language, basic principles of gravity, while critically examining the astronomical evidence used to support Einstein's theory of Relativity. Poor discovered that there was no astronomical evidence to support any of Einstein’s gravitational claims. The same is still true today.
Einstotle’s Relativity Gravitation
The Special Theory of Relativity disavows an aether and says nothing about gravity. The General theory reinstates a gravitation-only aether and establishes a gravitational field. Einstein’s ‘theory’ on gravity can be summarised:
“The aether of the general theory of relativity is a medium without mechanical and kinematic properties, but which codetermines mechanical and electromagnetic events.”1
Einstein’s aether is not an aether of materiality. It is a ‘field’ of gravitational fluctuation. No gravitational force exists. It is a wave phenomena. In Relativity’s fantasy world, space and time are merged into a 4th dimension. Within this dimension, gravity from unseen forces will vibrate or flow within the ‘imponderable’ aether generating fluctuations. This theory adds precisely no value to understanding how you are fixed to your chair, or why the milk in your cat’s bowl doesn’t rise up and float away.
In Relativity, gravity is not a force. It is a wave through the ‘curved’ 4th dimension. A critic might ask what exactly is curved if there is no matter in space? How do you curve nothing? Or, if gravity is not a force why do I fall from the top of a tall building to the ground below? Surely pace Einstein, I must be able to fly and float?
In any event this is their story, ‘proven’ by their maths. More here
