The Relativity of the Observer and the Gravity (eBook)

The book describes in a very unconventional way the role of man as an observer in the universe that surrounds us. Many physical phenomena are described from an unfamiliar point of view. These include wave-particle duality of light, the speed of light, why are space and time relative, what does reality mean, what are reference systems, what do the Lorentz transformations link, without necessarily having to deal with mathematics. The book should be of interest to anyone who considers himself an observer. It doesn't matter what he wants to watch. It is about the principles that arise when observing. What can generally be regarded as secured. Unfortunately, that's not much, because in order to draw conclusions from what has been secured, you have to make assumptions. These do not have to be correct and results that are logically incompatible with these assumptions are excluded from the outset by these assumptions. If one is willing to break away from some of these assumptions, possible solutions could arise for puzzling observations in the sky.

The author has always been fascinated by observing nature. He always tried to break everything down into its smallest parts. Then he put them back together logically in the totality of the universe around us. He usually tries to reach the goal from a different perspective and in different ways than the teachers want to teach us. If twins move away from each other at three quarters of the speed of light and both measure only with atomic clocks and light signals under Einstein's definition of simultaneity, then their measured values are undoubtedly correctly described by the special theory of relativity. But if we detach ourselves from the theory and go into the universe that really surrounds us, then the twin that has stayed on earth sees a universe that looks the same in all directions. However, the traveling twin has to reconcile its state of rest with a universe racing past it at three quarters the speed of light. From the author's point of view, the twins are not really equal in the reality in which we live. These different perspectives prevented the author from working professionally in this field. Despite all the problems observed, some dogmas are still untouchable today. With this book, the author hopes to bring some movement into the way of thinking in physics.
