Unpublished, PDF - Acrobat Many mistakes in Einstein’s theory of relativity are revealed. Both Einstein’s postulate of constant speed of light and Lorentz’s postulate of length-contraction are invalid. Einstein’s Lorentz transformation cannot provide invariance for Maxwell’s electromagnetic field equations, nor for the electromagnetic wave equations. His theory cannot explain the Doppler effect and the aberration. His principle of mass-energy equivalence fails with regard to moving bodies. He has made many mathematical errors in the development of his relativistic mechanics. His formulas of moving mass and kinetic energy are inconsistent with each other. His explanation of the perihelion motion of Mercury is a fabrication. Based solely on the principle of relativity, without any additional postulate, the author develops a new theory of relativity with a new relativistic mechanics. The new theory proves: Time- synchronism is universal; Speed of light is variable and is not the limit of speed; The variable speed of light causes the Doppler effect and the aberration; The principle of mass-energy equivalence can be precisely extended to moving bodies; Photon has static mass; etc. The new theory can precisely and unconditionally prove the equivalence between gravitational mass and inertial mass, demonstrate a comprehensive correspondence between gravitational and inertial fields, and make the special and the general relativity theories consistent with each other. The new relativistic mechanics can precisely calculate the angular deviation of light caused by the sun’s gravity, the red shift of the sun’s light, the perihelion motion of Mercury and, thus, give the gravity a mechanical interpretation instead of Einstein’s geometrical one.
