Toppling Relativity: My Struggle With the Church of Physics and Other Evaders of Truth

This book has four parts, which can be read in any order.

I. Speed of Light, Time and Einstein's Derivation: Ashish Sirohi studied physics at Columbia University. By bringing in infinity, he provides a simple explanation for the constancy of speed of light. Einstein simply postulated the constancy. His alternative equations, consistent with both of Einstein's postulates, are a counterexample to Einstein's claimed derivation –taught in college level textbooks – that Einstein's two postulates necessarily imply Einstein's equations. The book gives full communications with Nobel Prize winners Gerard 't Hooft, Steven Weinberg, and Frank Wilczek, where they, having acknowledged reading the paper, evade the question of whether he has a valid counterexample. Similar evasion by Lee Smolin, Carlo Rovelli and others involved with officially reviewing the paper suggests that the counterexample is valid. His theory, like relativity, has different observers measuring time differently, but it gives a specific cosmological test case where they will measure time to be the same, violating relativity. Telescopic observations showing this very predicted violation of relativity have now appeared in physics journals.

II. Scientific and Religious Dogma: The book compares scientific dogma and religious dogma, using the Galileo matter and Sirohi's own experience, and shows that the former is often stronger than the latter. At Galileo's time the church was much more open to addressing empirical evidence and pursuing emerging truths of nature than were the scientists who effectively worshipped Aristotle. Similarly, most physicists today are worshippers of special relativity. Physics authorities religiously teach students a wrong derivation, hiding the counterexample; further, above observational relativity violation is not covered by physics texts, media or popular science writers. Included is a science fiction chapter about a planet where the Church of Physics defeats God-believing religions and becomes the main faith and religion.

III. Pursuing Infinity, Encounter With Racial Hoax, Fake #MeToo and the Growing Assaults on Free Speech at American Universities: With Sirohi's physics and mathematics breakthroughs centering on infinity, he discusses the controversial popular belief that pondering infinity has an effect on the mind. At Columbia Sirohi mocked a racial hoax that had consumed the campus – it claimed a black student, Michael Jones, was attacked by a white lynch mob. In retaliation, Jones along with fellow black militant leaders concocted a #MeToo hoax by recruiting Sirohi's housing suitemate, Jessica Lee, a white student, to pursue fake #MeToo spying. However, her pursuit turned into a case of The Spy Who Loved Me. He dropped out of the university after an unrelated dispute which got head of Columbia College, Robert Pollack, fired; Columbia carried out a massive destruction of related documents. Court actions against Columbia and individuals followed for these acts. Pollack and President Lee Bollinger later got Sirohi arrested for sending an email to people at Columbia mentioning above Pollack matter. Sirohi notes the growing trend of racial hoaxes and persecution of free speech at American universities.

IV. The Evasion of a Key Truth and the Resulting Fall of Western Civilization: Sirohi sought an understanding of the cause of black students' underperformance and high rates of misbehavior within American academic institutions. He discovered the dramatic reality, evidenced by test results, of white students having falling IQs, as well as its cause. The effect of such white decline is that the intellectual fall of Western schools and universities is already well in progress. However, ancient civilizations, across different races, seem to share a common immunity to the cause of this IQ fall. We seem to be at the start of a new age of reversion to leadership of ancient civilizations.
