Beyond Einstein's Relativity: Cosmology Dissident Says Big Bang Absurd
CategoriesEit Gaastra, a Dutch chemical engineer who turned to cosmology to find meaning in life and explanations for the origin of this universe, says that the Big Bang is an absurd theory and that we will be laughing about Einstein before too long. Strong words, especially as they don't come from an established scientific authority but from a self-taught dissident.
For those interested in the details of Eit's Infinite Universe cosmology, they are outlined on his homepage.
Gaastra believes that science has gone down the path of religion, into an unmovable dogmatism that stifles research and new ideas. In a recent presentation, given in Leeuwarden in the Netherlands, he paints a simple view of today's cosmology and outlines how today's dearly held scientific dogma suggests scenarios of doom and isolation. We must open our minds to new ideas and follow our intuition, is the message, if we are to realize our creative potential and advance human knowledge.
Here is an English translation of that talk.

A theory of Einstein the irrational plagiarist
The fact that Einstein was a plagiarist is common knowledge in the physics community. What isn't so well-known is that the sources Einstein parroted were also largely unoriginal. In 1919, writing in the Philosophical Magazine Harry Bateman, a British mathematician and physicist who had emigrated to the United States, unsuccessfully sought acknowledgment of his work."The appearance of Dr Silberstein's recent article on General Relativity without the Equivalence Hypothesis encourages me to restate my own views on the subject," Bateman wrote.
"I am perhaps entitled to do this as my work on the subject of general relativity was published before that of Einstein and Kottler, and appears to have been overlooked by recent writers."

Can communication be transmitted over distance without the need for electromagnetic radiation "travelling" to carry the message? Hartmut Mueller of the Institute for Space-Energy-Research in Wolfratsthausen, Germany, says it can. Mueller has developed a theory of global scaling, which states that matter and energy organize in accordance with principles of scale. The "nodes" or preferred points of concentration, may be distant in linear space, but adjacent in "logarithimic space",... [read more]
