How Einstein got Relativity Wrong
Einstein’s Theory of Relativity states that c is the maximum speed at which all energy, matter, and information in the universe can travel. Einstein’s theory holds that c is the speed regardless of the motion of the source or the motion of the observer. In the Theory of Relativity, c interrelates space and time, and appears in the famous equation E=mc2. This has been the backbone of Physics for more than a century.
Einstein was faced with the incompatibility between the constancy of the speed of light and the principle of relativity. It should have been obvious that the constancy of the speed of light was incorrect or misunderstood. Something was wrong with it. The original experiments that led to the belief in the constancy of the speed of light were flawed. Instead, Einstein decided to drop two of what he called unjustifiable hypothesis from classical mechanics. Namely, that time and space (distance) were fixed.
I am a mathematician and an expert in logic. None of this makes any logical sense—that light can always travel at exactly the same speed and somehow manage to reach all observers at exactly the same speed without taking into account the motion of the observers.
How could this concept be accepted by so many and yet be so logically wrong?

Very clear and compelling allegorical argument and evidence is given regarding logic holes in established scientific thinking. Well worth the read for any logic-minded individual looking to broaden their knowledge of the universe. This book completely changed my perspective by laying out historical facts and then painting a larger picture. A Must Read!
