→‎Relativity and Electromagnetism: The mathematical theory of general or special relativity permits no exceptions. So a slight variation between observation and prediction means the theory is wron

::: Actually, there were some people arount 1910 who wanted to rename relativity theory as invariant theory. Einstein is sometimes said to have agreed with that opinion, but I am not sure he really said that. There is some disagreement about whether relativity is compatible with quantum mechanics. The two main problem areas are collapse of the wave function during an observation, and gravitational nonlinearities at the center of a black hole. But these are a little off the subject. The theories are completely compatible for nearly all considerations. [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 00:23, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

:::: Relativity, general and special, is a way of looking at the world that is fundamentally different from how Aristotle, Copernicus, Newton, Maxwell, etc., looked at it.  Most of the counterexamples here relate to the claims about gravity and the curvature of space that are made by general relativity.  Special relativity, according to the theory, is a "special case" of the general theory.  If you want to discuss them separately as though one could be true and one false, then I'm fine with that, but that would surprise me.

:::: The mathematical theory of general or special relativity permits no exceptions.  So even a slight variation (outside of measurement error) between observation and prediction means the theory is wrong.  It means the worldview embodied in relativity is wrong.  And those exceptions (counterexamples) exist in abundance; they can only be ignored by not looking at the data and not asking why the data are not being publicly disclosed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:33, 28 August 2011 (EDT)
