5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Good,

This review is from: Heretical Verities: Mathematical Themes in Physical Description (Hardcover)
This book has some advanced mathematical material that I cannot comment on.
But from the parts not requiring math, I can say that this book is definitely worth $150 for anyone interested in the "Relativity is wrong" subject. For those who say that "relativity is proven beyond any doubt," well, you need to look into some of the data: there is convincing evidence that some people have been lying about their results (in some of the most famous experiments, in fact). And anyone who claims that there is experimental evidence for time dilation, well, since NO ONE has EVER "measured" the FLOW of time (clocks do not measure the FLOW of time!!!), that claim has never been directly verified.

An outstanding refutation of einstein's relativity theory,
By WHC (Marshall Islands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heretical Verities: Mathematical Themes in Physical Description (Hardcover)
This book modifies the Maxwell equations by going the route first proposed by Hertz. These "neo-Hertzian" equations correct the Maxwell equations so that they are invariant to first order. Hence there is no need for the Lorentz transformation or Einstein's relativity, which only provide covariance rather than invariance. Phipps disproves the ad hoc Thomas Precession by experiment. He also delves into Cauchy's discrete infinite processes, Shannon's axioms on entropy, and quantum electrodynamics.
Phipps' writing style is absolutely superb. You might mistake him for an English professor rather than the brilliant physicist that he is. Phipps thoroughly debunks Einstein's relativity theories with sharp wit, biting satire, and commentary. He also explains some of the peculiar history behind the development of modern science in the twentieth century.

Has sections on Kinematics/EM, mechanics and math.,
By David Dameron (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Heretical Verities: Mathematical Themes in Physical Description (Hardcover)
Would highly recommend it as grounded in the real world. Experiments are done to verify information about the universe, vs. theories which may acquire a life of their own. Phipps has a good sense of humor also, as in his example of Thomas Precession. That is, why does the rim of a spinning disk not lag with respect to its interior as by special relatively? My interest especially is in the invariant versus covariant Maxwell equations, described well by Phipps.
