http://www.sciencecentric.com/news/article.php?q=09051352-has-einstein-failed-physics "Has Einstein failed physics? The GBP3.6bn Large Hadron Collider is one of world's most advanced scientific experiments, built to smash protons together at huge speeds, recreating conditions moments after the Big Bang. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Now a new paper by a North East academic presents the intriguing possibility that the Large Hadron Collider didn't work not because of mechanical failure, but because basic theories of physics may be wrong. Dr Peter Hayes says: 'Theoretical physicists have been barking up the wrong tree for the last hundred years - because Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is inconsistent.....Dr Peter Hayes is senior lecturer in politics at the University of Sunderland. In his latest paper 'The Ideology of Relativity' Dr Hayes argues that Albert Einstein's theory of relativity - perhaps the most famous scientific theory in history - should be viewed as an ideology, not as a science. He argues that its impact on popular culture and science has been so influential precisely because as a scientific theory it doesn't actually make sense.....The amazing thing about Einstein's theory of relativity is that it has kept going. It is built on contradictions, but these very contradictions means that almost anything 'proves' that it is right. It is a bit like a theory where you say 1 + 1 = 2, but also that 1+ 1 = 3.....'The triumph of relativity theory represents the triumph of ideology not only in the profession of physics but also in the philosophy of science.' 'The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock Paradox,' appeared in Social Epistemology, January 2009."

EINSTEINIANA'S LOGIC Another nice description of Divine Albert's Divine Theory: http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/hutchison/080616 "Like bronze idols that are hollow inside, Einstein built a cluster of "Potemkin villages," which are false fronts with nothing behind them. Grigori Potemkin (1739–1791) was a general-field marshal, Russian statesman, and favorite of Empress Catherine the Great. He is alleged to have built facades of non-existent villages along desolate stretches of the Dnieper River to impress Catherine as she sailed to the Crimea in 1787. Actors posing as happy peasants stood in front of these pretty stage sets and waved to the pleased Empress." Scientists should EXPLICITLY abandon Einstein's Potemkin villages and start considering the antithesis: Newton's emission theory of light and its cosmological implications: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/f9b66444b84d54f2?
