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 Arguments against relativity are viewed as outdated, given the extensive progress in physics since its inception.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.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
