The theory of relativity is a mathematical system that allows no exceptions. It is heavily promoted by liberals who like its encouragement of relativism and its tendency to confuse how people view the world.[1] Here is a list of counterexamples, and if only one of these is true, then the theory fails:
- The Pioneer "anomaly"
- Increasingly precise measurements of the advance of the perihelion of Mercury, which show a shift beyond the margin of error predicted by relativity
- The discontinuity in momentum as velocity approaches "c" for infinitesimal mass, compared to the momentum of light
- The logical problem of a force which is applied at a right angle to the velocity of a relativistic mass - does this act on the rest mass or the relativistic mass?
- The lack of curvature in overall space as observed by measurements
- The universe shortly after its creation, when quantum effects dominate
- The action-at-a-distance of quantum entanglement[2]
- The action-at-a-distance by Jesus, described in John 4:46-54
- The failure to discover gravitons, despite wasting hundreds of millions in taxpayer money in searching
- The inability of the theory to produce anything of value, contrary to every other theory of physics
- The change in mass over time of standard kilograms preserved under ideal conditions
- The uniformity in temperature throughout the universe[3]
- "The snag is that in quantum mechanics, time retains its Newtonian aloofness, providing the stage against which matter dances but never being affected by its presence. These two [QM and Relativity] conceptions of time don’t gel."[4]
