Mathematica Did Einstein Make Mathematical Errors?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion critiques the website relativitychallenge.com, asserting that its content is fundamentally flawed and reflects a lack of understanding of mathematics and physics. Participants emphasize that the author misinterprets the validity of Special Relativity Theory (SRT) and overlooks the extensive empirical support for Einstein's theories, particularly through decades of accelerator technology. Concerns are raised about the credibility of the journal "Galilean Electrodynamics," where the author claims to have published papers, with searches revealing a lack of reliable recognition for its editors and contributors. The overall consensus is that the site is an attempt to gain notoriety rather than contribute to legitimate scientific discourse.

What do you guys think of this site?
http://www.relativitychallenge.com/mistakes.htm"

Is there anything to this?

No. It's complete crapola.
 
It's crap. written by someone who doesn't understand math, is arrogant enough to think that if he doesn't understand something it is wrong, and is under the misapprehension that SRT is hard to verify. He is entirely ignorant of the hundreds of accelerators built over the last 80 years, which were designed using Einstein's formulas and wouldn't work if designed using this guy's formulas.

It's strange but it was an advertised link for the term "relative" on answers.com What is he selling?

Just trying to make himself famous.

He's trying to sell publicity just like this, and he's succeeding because you took his bait.

Zz.
 
He says on his website that 3 of his Papers were acceted by Gallilean Electrodynamics. I'm only a student and have no idea if that is a credible, peer-reviewed journal or even if its a real journal at all. By what all of you are saying I'm assuming it isn't. Anyone care to comment on it?

Have a look around and make your own judgment.
It may help to Google and Scholar-Google author names.

Hint: with a name like "Galilean Electrodynamics", it should be clear that they are looking for 300 year old solutions to problems that were solved 100 years ago.

OK I searched about seven names From the physicists and editors on that site. BOTH editors returned NO results for any works on Google Scholars. One Physicist mentioned there had several publications, and two others that I searched had one each. Doesn't seem very reliable to me, but then again I'm no physicist...at least not yet.
