criticisms of the einstein field equation - Alpha Institute for Advanced ...

all the Christoffel symbols and all elements of the Riemann, Ricci and Einstein
tensors. Each line element is checked for metric compatibility, and each line
element is checked to see if it obeys the fundamental Ricci cyclic equation,
known in the standard literature as the first Bianchi identity. This appellation
of the standard physics is a misnomer, because it is neither a true identity
nor was it given by Bianchi. It was first given by Ricci and Levi-Civita. The
rigorously correct Bianchi identity in geometry was first given by Cartan as is
well known, and as is equally well known, must include the torsion ineluctably.
Finally in this chapter by Eckardt, the line element solutions are tested against
the dual identity proven in chapter two. The results are given in tables and
graphs. They are exceedingly intricate, so the computer is used to build up the
tables without manual transcription error. The results show clearly that the
Einstein field equation is incorrect geometrically - meaning that the standard
theory of relativity must be revised fundamentally to place torsion as a central
feature of the natural and engineering sciences. This is what ECE theory does.
In the fifth chapter, Kerry Pendergast uses his skills as an educator and
writer to put these results in historical and scientific context. In so doing he
uses some of the material from his "virtual best seller" on www.aias.us, called
"Crystal Spheres" to give a historically accurate description of the evolution of
the theory of relativity.
In the remainder of this introductory chapter a brief account is given of
the evolution of space-time torsion in geometry and ECE theory. The latter is
reviewed in detail in chapter two of this book, (paper 100 of www.aias.us). The
fundamental idea of the theory of relativity is that physics must be an objective
subject independent of anthropomorphic bias.
This philosophy was given for example by High Renaissance thinkers such
as Bernardino Telesio and Francis Bacon, but goes back to classical times. Its
most well known manifestation appears in the Idol of the Cave philosophy of
Bacon. By this he means the fantasies of the human mind, the word "idol"
being used in its original classical Greek meaning of "dream". Bacon asserts
that the workings of nature must be manifest through empirical testing of human
ideas, in our times "experimental data". Contemporary science is based on this
philosophy combined with the earlier philosophy of William of Ockham, that
the simpler of two theories is preferred in natural philosophy or physics. The
invisible college of Francis Bacon later developed into the Royal Society, which
espouses the Baconian philosophy.
In Newtonian times the idea of absolute space and of absolute time was predominant,
and the whole of Newtonian mechanics is based on the separation
of space and time. The anthropomorphic bias of the human mind makes this
separation seem entirely natural from everyday experience. Time seems to be
moving in one way, in space we can move forwards an backwards, and the two
concepts appeared to be described by Newtonian mechanics with the later addition
of the Euler, Laplace and Hamilton equations and so forth in classical
dynamics. In the nineteenth century these well known concepts of dynamics
were challenged by the then new classical electrodynamics, notably the vector
equations of Heaviside. These are the well known equations of classical electro-
