Refutation of Einstein's relativity on the basis of the incorrect derivation of the inertial mass increase violating the principle of energy conservation. A paradigm shift in physics

Abstract

An airplane flying in the sky cannot have a higher inertial mass just because a person on the ground is watching the airplane, as well as it cannot have different inertial masses, if observed from car drivers moving on the ground with different velocities. Einstein’s relativistic physics that postulates that one can influence the inertial mass of matter or the speed of physical processes (“time”) by observing another inertial frame is actually not understandable. Because the relativistic mathematical approach enables us to get usefully and numerally precise results of nature observable phenomena, relativistic physics is nevertheless generally accepted today. This can only be explained in such a way that most physicists subordinate their logical reasoning to their mathematical formalism. The author explains the constancy of the speed of light, as well as the slowing down of physical processes (time) and the increase in the inertial mass, which are caused by motion, cogently by the principle of energy conservation. Nonrelativistic explanations of the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass and for the mass-energy equivalence are presented. It is demonstrated that the explanation of the inertial mass increase by Einstein’s relativity violates the principle of energy conservation. As relativity has therefore been refuted by nature, a paradigm shift is imperative.
