This book is the non-fiction version of the scientific monograph "Reasonable Alternatives to the Two Big Problems of 20th-Century Physics".
Imagine space isn't just empty - it's more like a stretchy fabric.... and this elastic fabric is made of energy - it is energy! When you put a massive object like the Sun on that fabric, gravity contracts it -changes the density of this energy, changes the density of the light's propagation medium. That contracting does more than bend the path of planets - it changes how light moves through that medium, too.
What is the light? The electromagnetic waves are actually a stream of energy packets (quanta/photons) that propagate in that "energy soup"! Photons, these small packets of energy, don't travel through this energy (the medium of propagation) untouched. Their characteristics (frequency, wavelength, speed in this medium (which we call "vacuum") shift depending on the propagation medium's density.
In " Challenging Old Lightspeed Legends " with a groundbreaking reexamination of 20th-century physics, the cracks are uncovered in the foundations of our most sacred scientific theories. It offers a groundbreaking reexamination of the foundational theories of modern physics. With clear explanations, accessible metaphors, and sharp scientific insight, this monograph gives the factual view on the "explanations" of the famous experiments related to the measurement of the speed; challenges the so-called "fundamental tests" that were long believed to confirm Einstein's special theory of relativity.
It is clear that traveling to the stars cannot be provided with the fuel we are familiar with. But what if humanity succeeds in extracting and using the compressed energy from the vacuum (from this "energy soup")? This would not only provide inexhaustible energy for spacecraft. This book embodies the idea that will save humanity from the currently existing self-destructive methods of energy extraction (such as burning and nuclear fission) and will redirect human thought towards discovering new ways of acquiring energy besides solar energy!
The evidence breaks the status quo, and presents a bold new framework for understanding the Universe. This is not a denial of Einstein's genius. It is a continuation of his own call to question assumptions and follow the evidence wherever it leads. It's a vision of what comes next.
This book is an invitation to revisit the questions we thought were settled.
