Author Description

The “Standard Model” of elementary particle physics, which is based on Einstein’s special theory of relativity, involves about 20 constants arbitrarily adjusted to match experiments. Likewise, another “Standard Model” of cosmology, which relies on Einstein’s general theory of relativity, has 15 freely specified constants. Mainstream physicists cannot help but turn to abstract mathematics to draw up various strange theories: String Theory, Supersymmetry, 11-dimensional Universe, Singularity of Universe, Big Bang, etc. None of these theories can offer tenable arguments, let alone be justified by convincing experiments and observations. The trouble is deep-rooted in Einstein’s relativity theory, which is the common foundation of the two Standard Models. Moreover, the well-known contradiction between Einstein’s relativity theory and the quantum theory remains unsolved. Einstein’s theory of relativity originated from his Lorentz transformation, which was a starting block in the “Square One” to initiate the development of theoretical physics since the beginning of the 20th century. Detailed analysis reveals that the Lorentz transformation cannot provide invariance for classical Maxwell’s electromagnetic field equation, nor for electromagnetic wave propagation equation. In contrast, the Galilean transformation can do both. Worse, the Lorentz transformation itself was mistakenly deduced by Einstein. The Galilean transformation, without any postulate, completely conforms to the principle of relativity. The accusation against the Galilean transformation is a century-old injustice. The denial of the Galilean transformation was a fatal false step in the square one, from where the theoretical physics went in a wrong direction. Today, to pull the theoretical physics out of the quagmire, we must return back to the square one and restart anew. Indeed, the author of this book appeals for an infrastructural reconstruction of the theoretical physics.
