On the Philosophy of Science: Some Razors
Some philosophy of science principles in the form of razors, analogous to
Occam's, are enunciated leading to the conclusion that Einstein was right to
utilize the concepts of relativity and space-time but wrong in attributing
those concepts to physical reality.

The Mole Hill Effect
Science has its peculiar way: It doesn't forgive the slightest mistake, and, with its too many pitfalls, it makes us careless. These pitfalls are like mole hills that make us stumble all too easily while we look for the mountains. There are mole hills galore. They come in two categories: Psychologic...

The Sagnac Effect Explained
It is remarkable that almost a century after the discovery of the Sagnac effect no justification based on the two relativistic theories has been found. Hasselbach and Nicklaus, describing their own experiment, list about twenty different explanations of the effect and comment: "This great variety (i...

Nonlinear Continuum Mechanics of Space and the Foundations of Electromagnetism
We prove that, when linearized, the governing equations of an incompressible elastic liquid yield Maxwell's equations as corollaries. The divergence of the deviator stress tensor is interpreted as the electric field, while the vorticity (the curl of velocity field) is interpreted as the magnetic fie...

Maxwell’s Equations: A Serious Flaw
Comparison of Maxwell’s Equations with Faraday’s work (the foundation of Maxwell) shows the equations do not describe electromagnetic waves; they only describe the associated field intensities. By contrast, Faraday’s work shows that an electromagnetic wave is a sequence of magnetically coupled photo...

The Sagnac Effect Explained Using the Special Relativity Theory
The discovery by Sagnac in the 1910s that a light beam that is forced to travel in a circular path along an orbiting circular disk needs different time to make a revolution, dependent on the direction, along or against. the direction of revolution. Kelly in a paper discusses efforts being made by di...

The Magnetic Force Between Two Currents Further Analyzed Using Coulomb's Law And Special Relativity Theory
In a paper 1997 a model capable of explaining the electromagnetic forces between electric currents in conductors, using only Coulomb's law, was proposed, and the results applied to experiments upon Ampere's bridge. The approach succeeded, due to a rigorous geometric analysis, thereby focusing upon t...

SR Theory of Electrodynamics for Relatively Moving Charges

Questions Arising When One Laser Beam Crosses Another
Many youngsters have likely tried to ‘cut' or deflect one laser (pointer) beam with another; and noted that they could not detect any effect whatsoever.

An All-Encompassing Theory of Nature
Experimental evidence is cited to show that intersecting fields rather than the fields themselves are what we perceive as carriers of energy. Thus the energy of an electromagnetic wave is produced by intersecting magnetic and electric fields. Additional evidence is introduced suggesting that the e...

The Constant Gravitation Potential of Light and Energy
co-authored by: Robert J. Heaston
Light has a hitherto unnoticed property. Einstein said that light has mass. If light has mass, then it must also have a gravitation potential. We suggest that is the constant gravitation potential of light and energy, which we call the c-square potential. A sample of the arguments used to justify th...

This paper proposes a physical explanation for the cause of gravity.
