Book Description
Have you ever wondered, in regards to a physical theory so bizarre that it defies logic, "Who came up with this idea...?"Here are a few examples of the irrational theories which are investigated in this book: From equal distances, if a 100kg object is accelerated at a hastier rate towards the Earth than it would be towards the Moon, then bodies of different masses are accelerated at different rates towards a common body of attraction; because, from the same distance, a body that would have the same mass as the Earth would be accelerated towards the Moon at a hastier rate than that of the 100kg object towards the Moon. According to the "Second Law of Motion", in a resistance-free environment, when a constant and linear force acts upon a body, the body is subjected to a constant acceleration; thus a uniform increase in velocity in the course of time. This translates into an exponential increase in the distance the body travels during that time. Since a constant force requires a constant supply of energy to maintain that force constant, this exposes an inappropriateness in Thomas Young's elucidation "Force per Displacement" of the energy phenomenon. According to the "Second Law of Motion", if we reverse the direction of motion of a body (of mass m), from -v to +v, the body would have been subjected to a differential momentum of 2mv. Then why does the centripetal force equation render a differential momentum of pi-mv...? Einstein's relativity claims that a body's mass increases with velocity. A body's mass relates to the amount of matter it is made of. In Newton's terms (F=ma), when a force is applied upon a body, the body undergoes an acceleration which is inversely proportional to its mass. Because an object can simultaneously be in motion relative to a near infinite number of other bodies, all traveling at different speeds and in different directions to one another, then, according to Einstein's philosophy, what would be the object's mass...? An object cannot be made out of a different amount of matter to simultaneously accommodate each and every other body it is in relative motion to.Nature is what it is; it's not a question of choice, or point of view! Says Launier... In order to rationalize physics under a single "universal" set of laws, first and foremost, we must authenticate the foundations upon which our theories were built. Our modern physics has become so laden with off-the-wall metaphysical institutions, that we have come to accept that its paradoxes and incongruities hide some mysterious logic. Obviously, the physical theories, we were taught in school, must have been verified many times over; they cannot be wrong...! So we were led to believe...!
