Modern Classical Mechanics is a new, intuitive, model that yields better than 100 times the accuracy of the Einstein-Lorentz equations in several experiments including Michelson-Morley and Ives-Stillwell!  Because it distinguishes between Length and Wavelength, its theoretical explanations avoid non-intuitive concepts like time dilation, length contraction, and the twin paradox; each of which are required by […]

Episode 23 – Introduction to Modern Classical Mechanics

Episode 22 is the Failure of Einstein’s Spherical Wave Proof presentation that I delivered at the 17th Annual NPA Conference held at California State University, Long Beach on 23, June 2010.  It is essentially the “Director’s Cut” of Episode 21, and expands on that material.  It shows that Einstein’s Relativity Theory derivation fails because of […]

Episode 22 (Bonus Episode) – Conference Presentation: The Failure of the Einstein Spherical Wave Proof

We have offered many mathematical and conceptual challenges to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. In Episode 21, we offer compelling evidence that Einstein’s Spherical Wave Proof fails. Without this proof, Einstein cannot establish a relationship between Relativity and the constancy of the speed of light; a cornerstone characteristic of the theory. This Episode reexamines the key […]

Episode 21 – The Failure of Einstein’s Spherical Wave Proof

“I live 20 miles per hour from the University.” Is that statement confusing?  It should be.  In Episode 20, we take a look at Rates and Functions, and discuss how they have been mistreated for the past century.  More importantly, we’ll take a look at how key concepts and mathematics can get confused if we […]

Episode 20 – AAAS Conference Presentation – Averages, Rates, and Functions

Do you want to know what Time Dilation is and why Einstein needed it to make Relativity work? In Episode 19, we explain what things mean.   We’ll talk about the main concepts that are important for each moving system model – Newton, Lorentz, Einstein, and the CICS Model. After watching this episode, you should […]

Episode 19 (Video) – The Meaning of Moving Systems Models (CICS and SRT)

In Episode 18, I present Part 2 of a 2 part presentation delivered at the AAAS/NPA Conference held in April 2008 at the University of New Mexico.  This presentation compares and contrasts the models presented by Michelson-Morley, Lorentz, Einstein, and myself – clearly outlining the key assumptions behind each model.  In addition, I summarize the […]

Episode 18 (Video) – Part 2 – Comparative Analysis of Moving Systems Models

In Episode 17, we take an advanced look at Einstein’s derivation of the SRT transformation equations given in Section 3 of his 1905 paper to generate the equations and analyze the problem in creating his Tau equation. In the the past, I have reviewed Einstein’s derivation from an algebraic perspective. While that perspective remains valid, […]

Episode 17 (Video) – A Look at Einstein’s 1905 Derivation

In this Episode, I present Part 1 of a 2 part series that I delivered at this year’s AAAS/NPA conference held at the University of New Mexico. This presentation looks at the impact of bi-directional movement in generating the equations associated with moving systems. It establishes the foundational equations that are used by the leading […]

Episode 16 (Video) – Part 1 – Moving Systems Foundational Equations

In this episode, we look at the second of the two types of coordinate systems inherent in the model of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems; a Complete Coordinate System.  Part 3 of the series build upon the material presented in Parts 1 and 2. Download in Windows Media Player Format

Episode 14 (Video) – Moving Systems (Part 3)

In Episode 10, I answer several questions that have been sent in by listeners over the past several months. In addition, we will recap three of key findings we’ve discussed in the first 9 episodes of the podcast series. These three points are the finding of a math problem in Einstein’s derivation, the implication of […]

Episode 10 – Questions & Answers and Recap of Key Findings

In Episode 9, we will explore the importance of distinguishing between lengths and points. The accepted definition of Special Relativity assumes the transformation equations converts a point from one coordinate system into a point in another coordinate system; hence the term “space-time points.” This episode shows that the equations are actually used to transform lengths, […]

Episode 9 – The importance of distinguishing between lengths and points

In Episode 8, we will explore what it means for Tau to be a function and how Einstein’s mistreatment of Tau as an equation has resulted in the math problems contained in his derivation. This episode will explore four areas. First it will explore functions, clearly identifying the proper way of defining and using functions. […]

Episode 8 – Tau is a function (Understanding the proper way to derive Einstein’s 1905 equations)

In Episode 7, we explore the equations behind the model of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems. First, we revisit the definitions of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems. Then the equations will be presented and derived graphically. In addition to understanding the equations, it will reveal the meaning of the sub-expression vx’/(c^2-v^2) that is given in […]

Episode 7 – The equations for the Model of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems

In Episode 6, I will answer questions that I received after Episode 5 was aired. We’ll also take a look at the Michelson-Morley experiment. This landmark experiment has been interpreted as returning 0 km/s as the answer, supporting Einstein’s SR theory. In this episode, I’ll explain, on a conceptual level, how to evaluate the Michelson-Morley […]

Episode 6 – SRT, the CICS model, and the Michelson-Morley Experiment

In Episode 5, we look at Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory in the context of the model of Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems. The goal is to help the listener understand the origin of Einstein’s speed of light “speed limit” and understand why Einstein felt that a twin moving in a rocket would age more slowly […]
