I can't believe anything so deeply profound is just posted to a Youtube video. It's unbelievably good, thank you very much.

Fantastic lecture. I always wondered what machine they use to detect gravitational waves. I'm amazed that humans could design and build a measuring device that sensitive.

Relativity is wrong! The proof are the experiments, backed by both EM and quantum theory, all reproduced by other researchers showing that the speed of light is not constant at all. The experiments clearly show that the speed of light is instantaneous in the near field of the source, changes speed with distance from the source, and reduces only to approximately speed C in the far field starting about 1 wavelength from the source, and never reduces to exactly constant speed C, ever. If the second postulate of relativity is wrong, what remains is the first postulate: Galilean relativity where time and space are absolute and causal action faster than speed C is possible without violating causality. If relativity is wrong then so is any other theory based on it such as general relativity and even QED. This will change all of modern physics!

What we see in the near field is real and follows according to the law of Galilean relativity. But what we see in the far field is not real and is subject to relativistic illusions such as time dilation and length contraction. Assume a fast moving body is being observed with light. If instantaneous near field light is used then no relativistic effects will be observed. This can be seen by inserting C equal Infinity into the Lorentz transformation yielding the Galilean transformation where time and space are absolute. But if far field approximate speed C light is used, then relativistic effects will be observed. So simply by changing the frequency of the light relativistic effects can be turned off and on. But because time and space are real for the moving object and cannot depend on the frequency of the light being used to observe it, one must conclude that the effects of relativity are not real and are just a type of optical illusion created by how light propagates in the far field from the source.

This can be more easily understood using the concept of aberration which occurs when one is walking in the rain that is falling straight down but appears to be coming down at an angle. Assume you have a fast moving rod with length that is moving perpendicular to your line of sight. If instantaneous near field light is used, then no aberration will occur because the light propagates instantaneously to your eye and the rod has not moved during that time. But if far field approximate speed C light is used then aberration will occur, causing the object to appear slightly rotated, hence its length will appear shorter, hence appearing length contracted. The same occurs for fast moving wave fronts with periodicity. If instantaneous near field light is used the no aberration will occur and the observed periodicity will remain the same. But if far field approximate speed C light is used then aberration will occur causing the wave fronts to appear rotated, hence the periodicity Of the wave fronts will appear shorter or time dilated.

An experiment just published in the EM journal IRECAP shows an EM pulse propagates instantaneously in the near field across 1.5 meters of space with no propagation delay. This shows that the front speed (speed of information) or speed of causal action is instantaneous in the nearfield of EM sources. The experiment was repeated hundreds of times, and also done by an independent researcher in their own lab, with exactly the same results. The paper also shows that the effect is predicted exactly by Maxwells equations. The paper is linked below. The effect can also be shown to be fundamentally due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This shows that the effect is fundamental to all fields including: EM, gravity, and quantum.

In another experiment, a sinusoidal signal was transmitted between 2 dipole antennas as they were separated from the nearfield to the farfield. Analysis of the resultant phase vs distance curves (dispersion curves) shows a clear minima in the nearfield for all the EM field components. Applying well known phase speed and group speed operators to the curve, which are inversely proportional to the slope of the curve, show that both the phase speed and group speed are instantaneous in the nearfield and reduces to about speed c in the farfield.

Both experiments have been independently repeated by other researchers, obtaining the same exact results. If speed of light is not constant, then the 2nd premise in Relativity is wrong and what remains is the 1st premise: Galilean Relativity. Instantaneous signals violate the Relativity of Simultaneity because the signals appear the same in all inertial frames of reference. This can easily be seen by inserting c=infinity into the Lorentz transform, yielding the Galilean transform, where time and space are absolute. So if a moving body is observed with instantaneous nearfield light, then no Relativistic effects will be observed. But they will be observed if the frequency of the light source is changed such that farfield speed c light is used. So by simply changing the frequency of the source, Relativistic effects can be turned off and on. The only possible explanation is that the effects of Relativity are not real and are just a type of optical illusion. This result will affect all of modern physics.

In addition, the above results are predicted by EM theory. Maxwell's derivation of the speed of EM fields was wrong. The reason is that EM fields are created by sources coming from Gauss' and Amperes laws, and these sources must be included and can not be set to zero as Maxwell did. Including the source term yields a wave equation equal to a source term. Inserting a dipole source yields EM field components that with phase vs distance from the sources dispersion curves with a clear minima in the nearfield, and become only approximately linear in the farfield, starting about 1 wavelength from the source. It is well known that both the phase and group speed are instantaneous when there is a minima in the curve, and only exactly a constant speed when the curve is exactly linear, which only occurs at infinite distance from the source, which does not occur in a finite sized universe like ours. So Maxwell's solution is only valid at infinity, which does not exist in this finite sized universe. So the speed of light never a constant in our universe. If the speed of light is not constant, then the 2nd postulate in Relativity is wrong.

The same behavior can be shown to occur in gravity. It is well known that general relativity reduces to gravitoelectromagnetism (GEM), which assumes that gravity can be modeled by Maxwell's equations with different constants. So the same solution that occurs in EM theory also pertains to gravitational theory. This explains the instantaneous gravitational effect in the near field, observed in the stability of the planets, and also explains that Gravity waves have been observed to propagate at about speed c in the far field. This theory then accounts for all the observed gravitational effects including instantaneous nearfield and the speed of light farfield. The main difference is that this theory is a field theory, and not a geometrical theory like General Relativity. But because it is a field theory, Gravity can be then be quantized as the Graviton, enabling the unification of Gravity and Quantum Mechanics.

The phenomena also can be seen in quantum theory, and can be shown to be the consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. At the source, the position of the photon emitted from the source is precisely well known, hence the momentum or the speed is infinite. At about 1 wavelength from the source, the wavelength is starting to be come clear, such that frequency x wavelength ~c. But according to Fourier Theory infinite cycles are needed for the wavelength to be exactly known. So the above frequency wavelength relation is only valid at infinite distance from the source. So the speed of light never reduces to exactly speed c in our finite size universe. This phenomena should be fundamental to all fields including: EM, gravity, and quantum, and in particular quantum tunneling.

There are currently many interpretations of quantum mechanics. But only the Pilot Wave Interpretation is compatible with Galilean Relativity. In this interpretation real particles are guided by real pilot waves. But the real pilot waves are known to communicate information about the particles instantaneously with the environment. Because this is not compatible with Relativity Theory, this interpretation has not been taken seriously. But as a result of this discussion, this is no longer a problem, and Pilot Wave theory should now become our best interpretation of quantum mechanics. And combined with instantaneous nearfield interaction, can perhaps explain the instantaneous interaction observed in quantum entanglement.

The top speed is a property of Space not light or gravity.

Doesn't make sense. Tugging a rope whether three feet long or three billion feet long would mean the whole rope moves at the exact same time at every point. I don't get it.

Will people finally get it straight. It’s not the speed of light. It’s causality. This has been known for the last 100 years or more now? It’s no surprise that light and gravity happen at the speed of causality. Even the talk about them having speed is kind of dumb and should be reframed IMO.

Good One.
