Indeed, all efforts that physicists have made to poke holes into Einstein's ideas have so far been unsuccessful. But one day it might happen. On Saturday we will look at which experiments could prove Einstein wrong, and what their current status is.
Comments
“Einstein’s theory of general relativity has made countless correct predictions.” This is true. But Einstein’s relativity has a serious deficiency: it cannot distinguish between rotation and non-rotation. This was a criticism of Lorentz (also of Mach), and Einstein has admitted it (Letter to Lorentz in 1916). But he found that his principles are more important than certain logical conflicts, and he has never solved the problem.
Prima Idee! Ich freue mich darauf. [Beifall]
