Three major pieces of misinformation in Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Abstract

It is time to make the three major pieces of misinformation commonly taught in schools and universities all over the world clear: 1) The Michelson-Morley-Miller experiment has never given a “null result”, contrary to what is commonly stated in most physics textbooks. 2) The experimental results of the solar eclipse of 1919 never “proved” Einstein's theory of (General) Relativity. The “difference” between the Newtonian and the Einsteinian deflection of a beam of light was never “confirmed” after 1919. On the contrary in 1960 experimental results by Pound and Rebka showed that the energy (or mass) of light is subject to Newtonian gravitation in the same way as ordinary matter. 3) The “Big Bang” never occurred. Experimental evidence shown by Hubble and Nernst proved clearly that the Universe is not expanding. This result has always been confirmed by astrophysical data and elementary physics.
