“One of the various theories proposed to explain the negative result of the famous Michelson-Morley experiment with light waves (conceived to measure the absolute space), was based on the ballistic hypothesis, i.e. on postulating that the speed of light predicted… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“Why is it so difficult for us to think in relative terms? Well, for the good reason that human nature loves absoluteness, and erroneously… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“The past and the future are not a collection of instants shared by all space, but a collection of events that correspond to a… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“The universal character of the centrifugal forces leaves us impotent as to discern whether what is going on inside the carrousel is because we are rotating with respect to terra firma (remember my eyes are closed), or because – for some unknown reason unrelated to motion – radial gravitational field has temporarily emerged while the carrousel is as in repose… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share
“It is curious that the human mind could blindly accept an infinite speed but had reservations to accept a finite one, simply because it… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“The command of our language is crucial to focusing our thoughts and communicating them with precision to others.” — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“The existence of both ( electron and pebble ) depends upon the context created by our thoughts, our language, our theories, and our interaction… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“It is worth noting that a wrong folkoric definition of an Inertial Frame in the Popular Science literature (even in text books) reads that 'it is a frame in uniform motion'. We know very well by now that the idea of motion requires a frame of reference, so that such a definition of an Inertial Frame has no meaning whatsoever,… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share
“The objective and merit of Einstein's theory is to identify those physical magnitudes which are absolute, i.e. common for all Inertial Frames, distinguishing them… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“When we say two bodies 'touch', what we mean (without knowing it) is that both electromagnetic fields are interacting to avoid physical interpenetration and… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“So strong was the preconception of absolute space and time in the scientific mentality of those days, that Lorentz did not realize the grand… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“Both space and time are metrically amorphous, i.e. they do not have - despite how strongly we believe so - an inherent metric which… — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
“Subjectivity is strange to Science, while Relativity is an objective part of it.” — Felix Alba-Juez Copy Share Image
