The Hidden Flaw in Relativity

Richard O. Calkins worked in the telephone industry for more than 40 years. Early in his career, he was a transmission engineer and later an Engineering Manager for network planning at Pacific Northwest Bell in Seattle, Washington. Following a move to GTE, he served in that company's Telephone Operations Headquarters in Stamford Connecticut, where he held positions as Assistant Vice President for regulatory strategy and Assistant Vice President for product planning and pricing. After retiring from GTE, he spent 6 years as Vice President for industry policy development at the United States Telephone Association in Washington, D.C. During his telephone industry career, he was listed in Who's Who of American Business Leaders Special Edition, the Platinum Edition of the Who's Who Registry, and the Who's Who Registry of Global Business Leaders. Since 1996, he has been retired in Sammamish, Washington, where he pursues personal interests in art, philosophy, writing books, and studying physics. His books available at Amazon include:Adages and Aphorisms from Philosophilus - a humorous collection of disdainful pronouncements about the human condition by a curmudgeonly ancient Athenian philosopher who has been channeled by Mr. Calkins. Oneliners: How the Line Communicates with Your Mind - a unique revelation of how the characteristics of a line determine what we see, think, and feel about what it portrays. Every illustration, from small drawings of individual characteristics, with explanatory text, to two dozen full page landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, er al, are drawn with a single line that never crosses or touches itself from beginning to end. How you respond to each of them is caused by the characteristics of a single line. If you want to become a master of line drawing, or simply want a better understanding of art, this book is for you. Revisiting Relativity uses recognized sources of generally accepted theory to unveil an irreparable flaw in Einstein's special theory of relativity. It explains what happened, why it happened, and how it has remained hidden from discovery for more than a century of empirical analysis. It also confirms James Clerk Maxwell's finding of a unique, motionless, inertial reference frame.
