Critics of the Theory of Relativity
Selected works on the theory of relativity and alternatives
(the list is continuously extended)
“Ekkehard Friebe - one of the best-known combatants against the theory of relativity nowadays - on his site very
many interesting publications and links can be found - also several works by W. Ritz, as well as the “G.O.Müller”
project”

The Theory of Relativity - taken from AlternateWorldWiki
“Einstein by contrast makes these two assumptions the foundation of his considerations and thereby constructs a
model of moving co-ordinate systems and asynchronous running clocks. Inconsistencies between the models lie,
amongst other points, in circular reasoning in the derivation of the speed of expansion of the light, in the nonexistent
equality of the reference systems with respect to each other and in the “invisibility“ of the Lorentz
contraction. Alongside his supporters Max Planck, Max von der Laue, Herbert Minkowski and others, there were
also a series of critics who questioned the usefulness of the theory of relativity.
Since no candid discussion of the problems of the theory of relativity have taken place in the school science
since the 20s of the last century, a summary should be given here of the results of the research group G. O. Mueller,
of Ekkehard Friebe, Harold Aspden and others, whose work can certainly also be regarded as critical.
The theory of relativity is outstandingly well-suited to the construction of intellectual paradoxes. For example,
the parking of a 20m-long car in a 10m-long garage, or the twin paradox, the rocket problem (in which two rockets
are connected with a thread or a piece of string which, as the rockets - flying in the same direction - approach the
speed of light, should tear). Nothing of this, though, has ever been empirically verified. Contradictions are
countered by relativists with further thought experiments, although different opinions as to the correct interpretation
of the theory of relativity prevail between the relativists themselves.”

25th August 2007 - By Nikolai Thoma
This book has destroyed my belief in Einstein! And this is something I am very thankful for. Before I read this
book, I knew nothing about how many scientists were, and still are, critical of Einstein. I think that all students of
physics, mathematics, astronomy and philosophy, as well as the interested laymen, should at any rate read this
book.
In science there should be no place for dogma, but Einstein is unfortunately still idolized and anyone who has
doubts about him - according to the authors of this book - is treated as something of a blasphemer. Criticism can be
painful, but it can also be healing. Science needs courageous critics like the authors of this book. Cringers, after all,
can be found everywhere in far-too-large numbers, unfortunately also in the field of science.

24th May 2008 - Conspiracy Theories and Nonsense - by W. Kutzel
Unfortunately it is not possible at Amazon to evaluate books with zero stars, since this miserable effort would
certainly have earned such an honour. The book is an unconnected collection of diverse and brim-full outpourings
of a misunderstanding of the material of the “theory of relativity”, as well as of conspiracy-theory nonsense. The
fact that the individual parts of the book have long since been spread in the Internet on the websites of ideological
