The Problem With Relativity

This book overturns the special theory of relativity by making two changes in experimental design and asking a question which has never been asked before. The special theory responds by disproving itself. The first postulate of relativity refutes the premise of equal merit and the second postulate refutes the first postulate.The changes in experimental design are: The customary light bulb is replaced by an optical laser. This makes us recognize the direction in which the light travels. The experiments are conducted in a physical reference frame which moves from one inertial reference frame to another. The theory's postulates are used to determine the results of each experiment. This allows one to address a new question: "Does the special theory treat a change in the source's velocity, when moved from one reference frame to another, consistently with how it treats an equal difference in velocity between the same two reference frames"? The answer to that question is "No". How can that be?! It happens because the relativity principle conflicts with the laws of mechanics. The relativity principle is based on a clever parlor trick played on us by the human condition. Based on his observations, Galileo's relativity principle defines an object's momentum P_RP as its mass m multiplied by the difference in velocity v_d between the object and the reference frame from which it is observed (P_RP = m v_d). If the observer and experiment are in the same physical reference frame (v_d = 0), the relativity principle defines their momentum as being zero regardless of the magnitude of their change in velocity ?v to move to a different reference frame. However, according to the laws of mechanics, the experimental result will be different in every inertial reference frame (P = m v means that ?P = m ?v). Thus, for every different value of ?v there will be a different value for the momentum in the new reference frame. It is only the observations which remain the same. Perception (a.k.a. an observation) is not reality.
