Is the Sorce Theory a valid critique of relativity?

AI Thread Summary
Sorce theory is criticized for attempting to align physics with common sense, which is seen as unnecessary since physics does not need to conform to intuitive notions. The theory challenges the validity of relativity, but many advanced theories like Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model have been developed and tested, reinforcing relativity's credibility. Arguments against relativity are viewed as outdated, given the extensive progress in physics since its inception. The persistence of such debates may stem from the lack of familiarity with newer theories among critics. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the robustness of established scientific theories against emerging, less substantiated claims.

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.

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
