Description
The Mists of Special Relativity Time, Consciousness and a Deep Illusion in Physics by Stephen Earle Robbins Phd The standard interpretation of Special Relativity is often presented as a fixed, frozen structure of space and time. However, this view is fundamentally flawed and has been consistently misinterpreted. This book delves into the contradictions and inconsistencies of this interpretation, revealing its failure to properly account for the nature of time and space. The author explores the problems with the "block" concept, which assigns different ontological statuses to time dilation and space contraction. This leads to a non-ontological status for the "block" itself, casting doubt on the validity of relativity as a theory of time. In contrast, the temporal metaphysic of Bergson presents a different framework, one that views time as a continuous, indivisible flow. This framework generates a testable contradiction to the standard interpretation of relativity, highlighting the need for a revised understanding of consciousness and perception.
