Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing

pinqkandi writes: "This article over at CNN looks into the relativity of Einstein's theory of relativity (pun intended) as equipment becomes more and more precise. Soon atomic clocks will be placed in the International Space Station to analyze the accuracy of Einstein's theories. One of the lead researchers says that if Einstein's theory is not right, it will only need minor adjustments to account for changes in space-time, due to its deadly accurate precision."

  2. The General Theory is Wrong by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    As I recall, it was proven wrong by the detection and acknowledged existence of Tachyon particles travelling at over the speed of light when detected... these were natural particles mind you, and their speed never changed even when penetrating the earth.

    If you really want to test the theory, build an ion engined probe with small nuclear battery and atomic clock, transmitters, etc... and enough fule to acclerate to relativistic speeds. Your measure ments over the course of a decade would give you all you need to know (unless there are anomalies in space tha the probe passes through that would adversly effect the results).

    The theory has to be wrong because we have observed multiple instances of the violation of conservation of energy and the hard and fast rules around C speeds. I think there is some glaring holes in the General theory, and so do a great many theorists and physisists.
