 Wake Up Call Mar 31, 2011
By Fiddler
Wow! This really opens one enormous can of worms!I couldn't put the book down. Einstein has been a hero of mine for many years and I love the explanation of gravity as a geometrical effect instead of a force. I love the way Einstein's relativity makes the whole universe understandable - even accessible physically as at only 0.8% of the speed of light humans could access any point in the universe in only 25years due to time dilation. The Big Bang has been my creation story since childhood.
Henderson doesn't state it directly - but his closing sentence makes it clear: this has become a religion! No one dares contradict it - not because they don't want to - but because they don't want to look stupid. No one can successfully relate the abstract mathematics to reality - so they just pretend that they can. Ironically Einstein himself stated: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." Perhaps someone should have listened to that!
Since being alerted by this book I have searched the internet and found a lot of scientists strongly in agreement with Henderson - many publishing videos and articles with the maths explained etc.
My reason for buying this book is because I'd written a short article with the same title and then stumbled across this book by chance and was curious why he might have applied the title to Einstein. My own experience taught me that this effect is very real so I could identify with what the author might have experienced. I am shocked however that this goes so deep into the fabric of our most advanced and venerated institutions. But then perhaps I should have expected that. This book is an excellent and thought provoking read - but prepare to give up your scientific and mathematical religion!

I don't know if Henderson's solutions are on the right track but it's clear that we have to go back 100 years and pick up science where it took a wrong turning. No wonder they still use Newton even in the space age.

Review of "Einstein and the Emperor's-New-Clothes Syndrome" Jun 20, 2007
By Charles D. Hope-Gill
Review of "Einstein and the Emperor's-New-Clothes Syndrome:
The Expose of a Charlatan" by Robert L. Henderson
R. Henderson's attack of both Einstein's mathematical capability in the development of the special theory of relativity and Einstein's physical understanding of his own work is valid. In fact, Henderson fell well short of listing all of Einstein's mathematical errors and conceptual failings. Despite Einstein's mathematical failures, it is not totally logical for Henderson to write that Einstein was incorrect in terms of the postulates that he proposed, including the concept that "aether/ether" is not necessary (and replaced by space/nothing). Einstein may have been manipulative, but he had brilliant insights that allowed him to produce an adequately valid general theory of relativity. However, Henderson is correct in writing that the contraction and "curvature" of space-time does not make sense; nor, is needed to explain special and general relative theory effects. However, Henderson proposed and defended a regressive "absolute time" fixation (refuting time relativity), and a belief in questionable "universal (elementary) energy field (UEF) particles", replacing and enhancing "aether" concepts. Henderson needs to show that time relativity derived without any type of "aether" is invalid in spite of Einstein's mathematical and conceptual special theory errors.
To support the "empty space" concept of Einstein, without space-time distortions, I have, subject to review, accomplished the following:
1) Corrected the questionable optical analyses of the Michelson-Morley interferometer experiments and showed that it is impossible to get a phase shift difference with rotations of the equipment with respect to the earth's velocity. (This analysis was done almost 40 years ago, and the following tasks have been worked on since then.)
2) Developed Maxwell's equations and a revised wave equation based on deriving exact relationships for:
a) electric and magnetic fields which improve the understandings of
Ampere and Faraday laws.
b) Stokes and Gauss/ Divergence mathematical theorems which include
relativistic effects, similar to those of the General relativity theory.
3) Developed Special and General Relativity theories which highlight Einstein's Special theory errors and confirm Einstein's many assumptions made during the development of his General relativity theory.

 Thank God for irrationality Oct 03, 2008
By Stanford Siver
... yes. and we need charlatans of this order who are not hypnotized by consensus oriented "rationality," which prevents us from accessing other forms of knowledge and wisdom, and need formal rationalists to show us how to develop and apply their ideas.
