Einstein messed things up. Energy is some sort of scalar of some sort of a vector quantity. When you have mass [M] multiplied by some sort of velocity [v] by velocity [v] again. The velocities are vectors, so you either have vector product and scalar product from that, or you are looking at some sort of quaternion being multiplied by another quaternion etc. None of this was ever sorted out properly by Einstein, then he was off on quest for unified field theory. I studied the unified field theory research. Unified field theory was presented in 18th century by Catholic priest Fr Boscovich prompted by problem Galileo caused them, and forming basis of modern physics on doctrine of Atomism; physical reality created from point-particles.
Forms basis for tradition for much of Unified field theory talks at: http://unifiedfieldtheory.co.uk/ Einstein was no good at maths, and I present some of the maths mistakes they now teach physics students as part of their dogma at such videos as: Maths contradiction in Einstein's relativity with its connection to Newton | | | | | | | | | | | Maths contradiction in Einstein's relativity with its connection to Newton Just concentrating on the maths of how Newton is connected to Einstein, and showing the contradiction in the mat... | | | | On Friday, 20 January 2017, 23:08, "mix...@bigpond.com" <mix...@bigpond.com> wrote: In reply to Axil Axil's message of Fri, 20 Jan 2017 16:44:39 -0500: Hi, [snip] I was hoping someone here would show me the error of my ways, before I made a complete fool of myself in public. (yes, I know I have already done that.) :) I think I may have found either my mistake or Einstein's. ;) Looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relation it looks like the Pythagorean relationship, which would seem to imply that we are looking at perpendicular vectors. However both energy and energy squared are scalars, so something is wrong. Note also that all the terms have the dimension of energy squared, implying that the "vectors" have the dimension of energy. Note that if Einstein is correct, then Ek is not p*c, which would be where I made my mistake here below (in my previous email). Consider this:- Et = Ek + Ep (where Et is total energy, Ek is kinetic energy, Ep is potential energy) => Et^2 = (Ek + Ep)^2 = Ek^2 + 2EpEk + Ep^2 Now compare this to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relation It looks very similar except that the term "2EpEk" is missing. That missing term is exactly what would happen if Ep and Ek were perpendicular vectors, forming the sides of a right triangle, and Et was the hypotenuse. In which case according to Pythagoras we get Et^2 = Ek^2 + Ep^2. Now this looks just like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%E2%80%93momentum_relation The only problem is that Ek & Ep are not vectors, they are scalars....unless there is some dimension I am ignoring in which energy is the magnitude of a vector quantity?? >The is a comment section in the PLOS/1 format where a reader can submit >corrections as required for evaluation by the author.
