The Errors of the Theory of Relativity

By J.L. Gambande

This book contains the complete demonstration that Einstein's Theory of Relativity contains errors that seriously invalidate it. In its pages you will find a strict reasoning that shows that the deduction of the theory carries serious mistakes. Written in a very clear, simple language and without resorting to complex mathematics, the author exposes the false bases of the theory. At the same time, and only with some high school mathematics, it allows deducing the correct equations and the form that the original theory should have had.
A sentence of obsolescence to the most famous physical theory in history.
It's amazing that scientists hadn't discovered it before.
A book that will make you talk.

I am Argentinean, born 62 years ago in Buenos Aires. I studied engineering, which led me to live in several South American countries for work reasons. I have always liked science, physics. I published several books in e-book format and on paper and I keep a blog in Medium.com.

Preface

This book had a first edition in 2016, with the title of Einstein's Errors. It was published on both Amazon KDP and Smashwords. It had a certain acceptance, and while the sales were modest, it made a strong impression on some people. Today, four years later, it has another title, and it is necessary to explain why.

I never liked the old title in the first place because it personalized the content too much. It is true that the errors in the first formulation of the theory were Einstein's. It is also true that the theory of relativity has many great conceptual successes. Personalizing the analysis in the figure of Einstein seems to aim at, although it was never my intention, undermining his capacity and his genius. The errors, as we will see, affect the theory and not the character. Talking about the character to address this issue is to remove it from its most important focus. Even thousands of scientists have reviewed it in the last hundred years and nobody has noticed the errors. They are as responsible as he is.

The theory, in its mathematical formulation, contains wrong equations that challenge it. The character of Einstein, as well as the human being, was one of the most brilliant minds of the last century. One mistake, or several, will not change that. The whole conception of the theory is magnificent and has made human thinking advance like few times in history. It doesn't make sense to focus on the character.

Einstein abused mathematics in his formulation, and it was not always correct. At the time he published his theory, there was a boiling point in physics. The subatomic world was being discovered and the Quantum Theory was growing. Mathematics was becoming more sophisticated to accompany this development. A theory did not seem true if it was not accompanied by superb mathematics and, if possible, unintelligible. That is why Einstein included tensors and other sophistications in his development.

Today there aren’t few authors and scientists who consider it an excess to use indiscriminately mathematical abstractions. In that process the physicist made mistakes, some significant. Mathematics affects concepts and indicates misguided conducts of variables. They also affect the conclusions of the theory and damage its predictability; this book wants to highlight them. I hope this discovery will help you learn a little more about the way we do science.

Introduction

I was very doubtful about the convenience in writing this book. The subject is overwhelming. It’s not easy writing about the Theory of Relativity. Its reputation of being difficult scares anyone, and its appearance of perfection makes it untouchable. Even more so if the book talks about errors and inconsistencies in the theory that put it in a serious risk of obsolescence.
