Einsteins Revolution

• Einsteins revolution was that he detached time
  from metaphysics and put it into the hard core of
  physics.
• Time was no more Newtonian absolute and universal
  calculus.
• Time is intrinsically relative and flexible.

3
Inconsistent Revolution

• SR and GR are, however, contradicting with each
  other.
• Their geometrical, physical, and metaphysical
  assumptions are mutually exclusive.
• Hence, Einsteins revolution was inconsistent.

4
Special Relativity (SR)

• According to SR, we cannot talk of the time but
  only my time, your time, and our time, depending
  on how we are moving through Euclidean space.
• Thus, phenomenalistic SR needs observers, whose
  relative time depends on the constant velocity of
  light.

5
General Relativity (GR)

• In realistic GR, space-time as a Riemannian
  metric field is simply there, like Newtonian
  absolute space-time, but related to the velocity
  of gravity.
• The lesson of GR is that the universe does not
  need any observers and their local times.

6
Einsteins First Mistake

• Einstein stated that Riemannian metric field of
  space-time is not a field of force, but a
  curvature in geometry of space-time.
• But the observations have proved against Einstein
  that gravity somehow forces mass to move
  through space-time in a curved fashion. 
• It seems the gravitational pushing and the
  electro-magnetic pulling are the field of
  space-time.

7
Einsteins Second Mistake

• Einsteins SR and GR refute absolute and
  universal now or the present moment on which the
  different observers exist at the same time.
• Hence, the simultaneity in his relativity
  theories is not absolute but only synchronized or
  merely conventional.

My humble Questions

• (1) What is the position of the minds as
  observers in physics?
• (2) Is time only a scalar quantity?
• (3) If yes, how do you explain the arrows of
  time thermodynamical, psychological, and
  cosmological?
• (4) Is physical time infinite or finite?
• (5) If infinite, how do you avoid the
  restrictions caused by the continuum-problem,
  Gödel's incompleteness theorems, and his claim
  that mathematics is either incomplete or
  inconsistent?
