Overview

"As physicists today lean heavily towards the notion that an objective reality may not exist, Joseph Mazi argues that the universe is rather absolute, even amidst the most seemingly equivocal events. An absolute (or objective) reality is the idea that reality is in itself unaffected by the perception or knowledge of any finite being; a falling tree would make a sound, even if no one is there to hear it. Mazi walks us through the philosophical and conceptual aspects of Albert Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, as the mind-boggling and counterintuitive theory is largely responsible for the eradication of an objective philosophy. Referring only to the laws of physics, Mazi cracks the theory's biggest question, ""What is true motion?"" Once Einstein's fallacies are exposed, a coherent explanation is provided to account for events such as 'time dilation, ' from an absolutive perspective, in contrast to Einstein's relativistic premise. Although Special Relativity's claims align with experimental results, it is not the results that the author is attempting to refute, rather the explanation as to why such results occur. Relativity aside, further deterring science from the belief of an absolute reality is the paradox of the double-slit experiment, which has led physicists to the conclusion that one particle may simultaneously exist in multiple locations, unless the event is observed by some form of consciousness. The author elucidates the events in this experiment, as well, with an objective and classical approach to physics, relentlessly advocating for an absolute reality. Scientific theories are called theories, and not facts, for a good reason; there is always the possibility that they're wrong. Einstein's entire theory began with an idea, a mere concept. The mathematics were then built on top of the premise in order to evidence the idea and bridge it into reality. It is the conceptual aspect of Special Relativity that is challenged in this book, with references to known laws in physics. The mathematical results (for instance, time dilation observed in satellites), however, are not refuted, rather only supplemented with alternative explanations in opposition to Einstein's premise. Whether or not Mazi's theories are truly accurate, one may nonetheless appreciate the critical thinking and reasoning displayed as the concepts within the realm of metaphysics are weighed and tested against one another in a war of logic."
