Wonderful fiction

The people who are most likely to assault denominational Christianity
are from a group who adhere to a specific set of doctrines,determining
that the originators of these doctrines were 'geniuses' by virtue of
the difficulties involved with complicated material.It is,of
course,wonderful fiction and provides great reading for those who like
clever maneuvering.Unfortunately,it is more than just that,humanity now
needs an accurate version of celestial phenomena and especially the
correct of the motions of the Earth.

What happened in 1905 -

"Since he classes his absolute space together with real things, for him

rotation relative to an absolute space is also something real. Newton
might no less well have called his absolute space ``Ether'';"

The so-called 'relativistic revolution was based on Albert's rejection
of an aether/medium that Newton called 'absolute space'.

Here is what Newton actually believed -

"The fictitious matter which is imagined as filling the whole of space
is of no use for explaining the phenomena of Nature, since the motions
of the planets and comets are better explained without it, by means of
gravity; and it has never yet been explained how this matter accounts
for gravity. The only thing which matter of this sort could do, would
be to interfere with and slow down the motions of those large celestial
bodies, and weaken the order of Nature; and in the microscopic pores of
bodies, it would put a stop to the vibrations of their parts which
their heat and all their active force consists in. Further, since
matter of this sort is not only completely useless, but would actually
interfere with the operations of Nature, and [314] weaken them, there
is no solid reason why we should believe in any such
matter at all. Consequently, it is to be utterly rejected." Optics 1704
Newton


In short,there is no way to reject in 1905 what Newton rejected
centuries earlier so even for the most indifferent reader here,to be
patronised with the 'relativity' concept based on the Albert's
rejection of Newton's absolute space/aether is to go along with the
wonderful fiction of it all.It is also very damaging to Western
sensibilities for it introduces the idea that insincerity disguised as
tortured linguistic fireworks and equations can be portrayed as
achievements,even ultimate achievements.
