SUMMARY

The Sorce Theory is criticized as an attempt to align physics with common sense, which is inherently flawed. Established theories such as Quantum Field Theory (QFT), Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), and the Standard Model have been rigorously tested and have not revealed any significant flaws in Special Relativity (SR). The persistence of critiques against SR stems from a lack of familiarity with more recent scientific developments rather than any substantial evidence of error in SR itself.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Special Relativity (SR)
  • Familiarity with Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Knowledge of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
  • Awareness of the Standard Model of particle physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) on modern physics
  • Study Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and its experimental validations
  • Explore the Standard Model and its significance in particle physics
  • Investigate the historical context and critiques of Special Relativity
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the foundational principles of modern physics and the critiques surrounding them.

Anybody have any thoughts on Sorce theory?

Only that a stupid person was here promoting it a while back.
 
Don't pay much attention to it. It is yet another try at making physics agree with "common sense". It needs not, and it is actually natural that it doesn't.

It also argues that relativity is wrong. I find it somewhat amusing that people still argues against relativity now, when we have gone much farther down the road. QFT, QED, Lattice Gauge Theory, the "Standard Model" and many big bodies of knowledge have since been developed and well tested. If there were flaws in SR, all these would have shown big problems long ago.

Also, if there are interpretational mistakes or wrong assumptions in science, one would expect to find them in the areas most recently developed. The reason people keep trying against SR is probably that the more recent theories (which are still in construction) are not as widely known.
