Opponents of relativity, this book should be your Bible,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Duration and Simultaneity: Bergson and the Einsteinian Universe (Philosophy of Science) (Paperback)
This book is simply brilliant, and one of the most insightful ever written. It takes on the biggest scientific theory of our time, relativity, convincingly showing that relativity is merely a mathematical tool with no real physical significance; that the "multiple times" of relativity are mathematical fictions. Bergson was not a "crack-pot"; he was a very well-respected philosopher and psychologist contemporaneous with Einstein. So this is not crack-pottish quackery, nor does it read as such; it is a very detailed, thorough explanation by a master philosopher.

different edition,
By William Warren "Futures Unlimited" (Pontiac,Illinois,statti unitti) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Duration and Simultaneity: Bergson and the Einsteinian Universe (Philosophy of Science) (Paperback)
I bought the library of liberal arts edition of this work.Same translation but different forward.I had dismissed Bergson because like the other reviewers I had thought that Bergson rejected Einstein. Actually the rejection is of Lorentzian formulation of the Twin Paradox.
