Albert Einstein’s Thought Experiment and Equivalence Principle are Misleading.
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum (wikipedia)
In science fiction, space and time warps are a commonplace. They are used for rapid journeys around the galaxy, or for travel through time. But today’s science fiction, is often tomorrow’s science fact. So what are the chances for space and time warps.(Stephen Hawking)
The thought experiment of elevator
“This physicists are still in the elevator, but this time they really are in the empty space, far away from the attractive power of any celestial body.A cable is attached to the roof of the elevator; some supernatural force begins reeling in the cable; and the elevator travels “upward” with constant acceleration, i.e. progressively faster and faster. Again the men in the car have no idea where they are, and again they perform experiments to evaluate their situation. This time they notice that their feet press solidly against the floor come up beneath them.
If they release objects from their hands, the objects appear to “fall”.If they toss object in a horizontal direction they do not move uniformly in a straight line, but describe a parabolic curve with respect to the floor.
And so the scientist, who have no idea that their windowless car actually is climbing through interstellar space, conclude that they are situated in quite ordinary circumstances in a stationary room rigidly attached to the earth and affected in normal measure by the force of gravity. There is no way for them to tell whether they are at rest in a gravitational field or ascending with constant acceleration through outer space where there is no gravity at all.
So Einstein’s Law of Gravitation contain nothing about force. It describes the behavior of objects in a gravitational field — the planets, for example — not in terms “attraction” but simply in the terms of the paths they follow. To Einstein, gravitation is simply part of inertia; the movements of stars and the planets arise from their inherent inertia; and the courses they follow are determined by the metric properties of space — or, more properly speaking, the metric properties of the space-time continum. (Universe and Dr.Eintein, Lincoln Barnett, London 1949, page 69–72).
Einstein’s elevator explains three points:
1. They notice that their feet press solidly against the floor come up beneath them.
2. If they release objects from their hands, the objects appear to “fall”.
3.. If they toss object in a horizontal direction they do not move uniformly in a straight line, but describe a parabolic curve with respect to the floor.
From these three points, an observer outside the elevators conclude that gravity is nothing about force. Furthermore describes the behavior of objects in a gravitational field — the planets, for example — not in terms “attraction” but simply in the terms of the paths they follow.
That is incorrect. The explanation on the theory of gravity is incomplete, because can’t explain at least two other points that caused by the force of gravity:
1. The celestial bodies in orbit, for example, the orbiting of the planets around the Sun.
2. The occurrence of tide-low tide caused by the attraction of the Moon.
Of course it will be very difficult to illustrate all of the gravitation’s effect in the thought experiment of elevator.
Things can be illustrated in the elevator just the objects has weight and mass. Therefore, Einstein’s thought experiments are incomprehensive, illogical, and misleading.
Actually, thought experiments can be made to obtain the result they wanted to get. Albert Einstein made a mistake in his thought experiments.
Equivalence Principle is False
The equivalence principle proposed by Albert Einstein underlying of his theory of relativity in fact that was concluded by the method of inductive reasoning from his thought experiment, but special events as a reference is incomplete, and it is not in single experiment (incomprehensive).
Therefore the equivalence pinciple is false and misleading.
Einstein failed to see was that the ray would bend downwards not only inside the compartment space as it was traveling across it but also at the very entry point in the left wall! Whatever the direction of a ray entering through the hole in the wall was would keep on entering with greater and greater downward slope and thereafter would bend further down through the space in the compartment before hitting the right wall. The result would be that the light spot on the right wall would not be stationary! The spot formed on the wall would keep on moving downwards and that too with increasing speeds. (That is how the information of ‘outside’ is carried by light into the ‘inside’). Whereas, under pure gravity with the compartment stationary in it the spot formed on the wall would be stationary. The principle is in principle wrong! The diagram below depicts what is being asserted.(disprovingequivalenceprinciple)
