STRENGTHS and WEAKNESSES of the THEORY OF RELATIVITY

TC was just having a bit of temper tantrum, following his decision to leave the forum.
 
I am not the first one nor I will be the last one to criticize General Relativity. The Philochrony* is not in conflict with Special Relativity. The nature of gravity has not been explained yet. There are only hypotheses.

* In Spanish: Filocronia, la dualidad devenir-tiempo, Teoria de la inexorabilidad.
 
The predictions of Einstein's Relativity are fulfilled in imaginary experiments.

- The light clock with two opposite mirrors.
- The twins paradox.
- The ruler that changes its length.

I've seen the videos in youtube.
 
The predictions of Einstein's Relativity are fulfilled in imaginary experiments.
And real ones.

- The long-lived muons
- the disc-shaped lead atoms
- the time dilation observed in high altitude high-speed flights
- the GPS software in 3 billion phones around the world
- the time dilation observed in the Project Great's camper van experiment by a guy and his family

Gravitational Waves. Deflection of starlight when passing near sun. Gravitational Redshift. Using Einstein's Relativity when designing particle accelerators. Making pop corn.
 
One nanosecond is an insignificant measure.

With this I think we can safely declare that your understanding of physics is insignificant enough to be considered zero...

Also... why necro a 2 year dead thread...

Contrary to the General Theory of Relativity (GR), we observe energy dependence of gravitational bending of the gamma-rays - it suggests that GR is the incomplete theory.

It is obvious that without the Quantum Mechanics (QM), GR is the incomplete theory, and vice versa.
But we still cannot formulate a fruitful quantum theory of gravity (QTG). Why?

There are two possibilities:
1) Unification of GR and QM within the same methods is impossible due to the internal structure of spacetime.
2) We are too stupid to formulate QTG.

I claim that we must decipher the internal structure of spacetime to solve the tens unsolved basic problems. The two-component spacetime is the Grail of physics.
