The claim has credibility that Albert Einstine plaugerized the famous formula e=mc^2.

An Italian Industrialist Olinto De Pretto published E=mc^2, on June 16, 1903. Then he published it a 2nd time on February 27, 1904 in the scientific journal "Atti" of the Reale Instituto Veneto di Scienze. This paper is in Italian, so it wasn't accessible to anyone in the wider scientific community who didn't speak Italian. However Einstein was fluent in Italian language. Einstein took it and published it under his own name in September 1905.

...Einstein had no understanding of the rudimentary concepts of mechanics and yet he attempted to develop a "new relativistic mechanics" as a replacement to Newton's ...
my paper:"A Gift of God and Isaac Newton"
quote:...Einstein (at age 26) in his 1905 paper proposed his special theory of relativity based on his light postulate:
"The speed of light is a universal constant(invariant) independent of the motion of the observer"

Just because Einstein used the term ‘speed’ does not mean it has anything to do with speed as a concept in Newtonian mechanics. We may call an elephant a swan and this new ‘swan’ will still never ever fly. The concept of speed in Newtonian mechanics is not dependent on the type of motion or the thing of which motion we measure the speed. So the speed of light in Newtonian mechanics - as a defined concept - must always be relative or dependent on the motion of the observer - speed is always non-invariant.

At the stroke of a pen, Einstein created a "new" mechanics - one which has nothing at all to do with Newtonian mechanics or to the physical reality in the Newtonian world.

I knew a guy like this once. He wasn't that smart, just smart enough to remember a few keywords and details that he'd read and then regurgitate constantly as if he knew what the hell he was talking about. He never did of course, he just liked arguing stupid ideas with bogus facts.

:rolleyes:

I'd wonder if this was the guy if there weren't records from this one, lol.
this thread makes me feel young again

relativistically speaking
Write a pome about our newly discovered physics, sir!

OP doesn't get it.

The rebuttals thought...are also lacking, so much so...they aren't even rebuttals.

Chan, you fail to:

  1. Grasp the process of science
    1. which is observation and validating that observation after much measurement and effort.
    2. While scientists can because extraordinarily pretentious and cannot be trusted for anything outsider their domain, the knowledge and expertise of someone in the natural sciences is usually beyond question since nature thankfully...is mostly immune to intervention on the scales of determination, with nutrition and food being a rather noteworthy exception....
  2. accept that c^2 has indeed been measured and thus the adjustment added to the denominator is correct.



It is well known that classical mechanics is a good appoximation up to a point. OP, in his education and emotional arrested development, simply can't comprehend something just a bit more complicated.
Einstein's most famous equation E=mc² is invalid. Most of modern physics is founded on relativistic mechanics which is based on this equation; such physics includes particle physics, quantum electrodynamics(QED) and nuclear physics. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of CERN in Geneva is a supercollider developed to investigate particle physics. As particle physics is just fiction, it is a huge waste of human effort and financial resources to operate such an enormously expensive facility. It is in the interest of the world to not be mislead into a labyrinth leading to nowhere.
There are numerous definitions of invalid. Of which the sense you are using it in is that "something is without foundation in fact or truth".

The proof that E=mc² is invalid is simple; it is given below.

Newton's 2nd law defines force with:
F = d/dt(mv) = ma --- (I)
m = invariant mass or quantity of matter in Newton's 'Principia'. Force in SI unit is the newton (N). The unit of energy would be joule(J) or newton-meter(N.m).

After Einstein's introduction of special relativity in 1905, the relativists developed a new relativistic mechanics to replace Newtonian mechanics and claimed it to have replaced Newtonian mechanics to be the proper mechanics in the natural world; it is supposed valid for all speed including near light speed. RElativistic mechanics starts with a new definition of force:
F=d/dt(mv/√(1-v²/c²)) --- (II)
With (II) as the new force and using the work energy theorem, a new formula for kinetic energy is derived:
KE = (γ - 1)m₀c² --- (III)
where γ=1/√(1-v²/c²); by a assuming that a particle at rest has a rest energy given by m₀c² and adding it to (III), we derive the so called: Total energy = KE + rest-energy = γm₀c²; in other words:
E=mc² --- (IV)
where E represents the total energy of a particle and m or γm₀ is the relativistic mass dependent on velocity.
Here, your usage of the word "new" is duplicitous. New in one sense can mean something completely recent and devoid of past developments. This is not the case. The formula is clearly an adjustment, one in which the results for low velocities are so insignificant that the result is essentially the same as the "classical definition".

Even if we grant that the definition of "new", a formula cannot be rejected solely because it is new. (Appeal to novelty)

In addition, the particular process of science is always open to new hypothesis(open does not mean without hostile hubris and resistance from the ancien regiem, even if the scientists are non-religious. The "Pope complex" is very real within science) and evidence.
It is not a valid argument that changing something from Newton's rules necessarily invalidates the new concept. For Newton too, was just merely a human who managed to observe and conceptualize phenomena like apples falling from trees. But electromagnetic waves are not apples, and behave differently enough that classical physics is insufficient for them. Newton is not omniscient; he didn't understand everything, but brought to light something to be understood.

Also here, is a latent argument from personal intuition. You, Chan-boomer, cannot comprehend mass changing because all you (and everyone not in a lab) see is low objects containing mass moving at low velocity.
This is an a priori argument, and an invalid one because the conclusion simply doesn't follow from the premises.

The problem with E=mc² is that E is fictitious and does not have any unit in any system of units (such as the SI system). This is because the force in (II) above cannot in any way be used to define a unit of force in any system of unit; the physics world just assumed that (II) also defines a force where it has the same unit newton(N) as in classical mechanics. How could that be! the newton is specifically defined using (I) and not (II). When force in relativistic mechanics is fictitious, the result of using the work-energy theorem only result in a fictitious energy for work without any associated real unit. But mainstream physics assumes that the energy E in E=mc² is also in the SI unit joule(J). Of course it cannot be! What this imply is that all physics founded on relativistic mechanics are fictitious including particle physics of the Standard Model, quantum electrodynamics(QED), nuclear physics (theory).
Unitless numbers abound and are the results of real concepts. Heck, some funcitnosn are "undefined" and geometry is based on postulates.

Your use of the word "fictitious" is grating as well. Because seriously, "a calculated value is unitless, therefore it is fake", in direct contradiction to the fact it is real because it is derived from a process of observation, then calculations.

There is no argument that something gets invalidated simply because a quantity is dimensionless.

This post of mine would be deleted almost immediately if I try to post in any mainstream science forum. The whole world seems to be together to protect the fake physics of Einstein's relativity. There is nothing much I could do even though I know much of physics around relativity and E=mc² is wrong.

Science guys are not the best rebutters and are impatient. You got your fair reading and response now. Now go cry in a corner.

In addition, the legal guy of me takes issue with your use of the term "fraud". Fraud has multiple components, in which at least
1. a statement of fact is made
2. That statement of fact was false
3. the individual knew it was false
4. It was for financial or material gain.
5. reasonable reliance on the truthfulness of that statement
6. Harm caused by the fraudulent act.

Even if one assumes that somehow E=mc^2 is false, it doesn't necessarily make it fraud if the indvidiual didn't know, didn't get a "gain" from it, or it caused no harm. But the facts are clear it is true and arguing "my monkey brain can't comprehend it but I'll try to use fallacies to make my intuition become reality" is the height of delusion, and delusion in particular is one of the most wretched properties of mankind. In fact, I can respect the murderer who knows he wants to take someone out over someone who causes death but thinks he's doing something benevolent.

Also, I didn't get past undergrad physics but Chan, you're underdeveloped. ;)
P.S, my garbage dad did get a Ph.D in Physics...obviously a least little bit of him did pass down to me.

Good breakdown. You have more patience and tolerance for nonsense than I do. I'm not a physics expert either, but I do have enough basic understanding to recognize that this one is full of it, heh.

I'll honestly be surprised if he reads that and actually ponders it for a moment. Maybe though...

Classical mechanics is not any approximation to the mechanics of special relativity as mainstream like to drill into students (Newton == Einstein at small speed). From the 2nd postulate of SR, the relativists developed a completely new mechanics with their new "world of reality" independent of our common sense Newtonian world of reality. Only one of the reality is consistent with our natural world, not both.
There are numerous definitions of invalid. Of which the sense you are using it in is that "something is without foundation in fact or truth".
E=mc² is invalid in physics because E is just a real number that cannot be associated with any real unit in any system of units we need for physical measurements in science.
Here, your usage of the word "new" is duplicitous. New in one sense can mean something completely recent and devoid of past developments. This is not the case. The formula is clearly an adjustment, one in which the results for low velocities are so insignificant that the result is essentially the same as the "classical definition".

Even if we grant that the definition of "new", a formula cannot be rejected solely because it is new. (Appeal to novelty)
There is no duplicity in my use of a "new" definition of force for relativistic mechanics.
F= ma -- (I) and F=d/dt(γmv) -- (II) are two completely different formulas; and (II) has been used within LHC of CERN where v is near light speed, not: "The formula is clearly an adjustment, one in which the results for low velocities are so insignificant that the result is essentially the same as the "classical definition".
(I) is used to define the SI unit newton; (II) cannot be used to define anything in the SI sytem of units.
In addition, the particular process of science is always open to new hypothesis(open does not mean without hostile hubris and resistance from the ancien regiem, even if the scientists are non-religious. The "Pope complex" is very real within science) and evidence.

But electromagnetic waves are not apples, and behave differently enough that classical physics is insufficient for them. Newton is not omniscient; he didn't understand everything, but brought to light something to be understood.
Newton's second law is actually an axiom, a definition of force in his "Mathematical Principle of Natural Philosophy". It is a component of the fundamental framework which must be adhered to in order to develop the mechanics of our natural world (It is akin to axioms in mathematics - you change the axiom, you're dealing with a completely new mathematics). So changing the definition of force to F=d/dt(γmv) is NOT JUST A NEW HYPOTHESIS.
Unitless numbers abound and are the results of real concepts. Heck, some funcitnosn are "undefined" and geometry is based on postulates.

Your use of the word "fictitious" is grating as well. Because seriously, "a calculated value is unitless, therefore it is fake", in direct contradiction to the fact it is real because it is derived from a process of observation, then calculations.

There is no argument that something gets invalidated simply because a quantity is dimensionless.
Force must never ever be without a real unit as it would make energy to be without a real unit. A physics formula dealing with energy cannot have E to be fictitious through definition.

I would not argue on the proper use of the word "fraud". Mainstream physics has promoted the idea that nuclear energy is from E=mc².

You know, pi has never sat right with me either, I'm sure all those extra numbers after the decimal are just the work of Big Digit. Henceforth, pi = 3. My exhaustive and well-considered post serves as proof that we really don't need all that extra .14159 et cetera nonsense. It only makes sense for pi to be a round number, because pies are round. Think about it, who benefits from there being an endless stream of numbers after the decimal? BIG DIGIT.

There's several reasons I'm convinced that we live in a simulation. Pi is one of them.

I used to know how Pi was derived, now I rely on my calculators to apply the algorhythms. However, the approval of that stuff was no doubt implemented by deep state woke science geeks. You may have noticed that circles and balls aren't as round as they once were. Even earth has lost its once spherical characteristics. Full moons aren't full like they used to be. Don't look at the sun now, even with protection, you'll have a rude awakening. Heaven help us!
