Bulgarian Scientist Questions Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Society | May 15, 2007, Tuesday // 00:00

The Bulgarian scientist Sasho Salkov dared to challenge Einstein's theory of relativity on Monday at a press conference for presenting his new book.

Salkov's book entitled "Theory of Absolute" disputes the basis of modern physics, tracing back its chronology, where, according to Salkov, lays the whole problem.

According to the author, the general mistake of Einstein's theory comes from the scientist's basic points of developing it. Einstein has taken for granted the result from the Michelson-Morley experiment, which Salkov believes, is a mistake. In their deductions about the behavior of the beam, moving perpendicularly to the movement of Earth, Michelson and Morley assume that there is a link between the movement of the beam and the source that provokes it. This might be true only if the first postulate for the velocity of light independent from the source.

Now Salkov does not question the first postulate, but the second one, which is confirmed only but the Michelson-Morley experiment, whose logic Salkov believes is wrong. This from its part abolishes the second postulate, which makes senseless the law of the consistency of the velocity of light in vacuum - the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant. Which means the theory of relativity is wrong and unfounded.
