Physics: Einstein’s False Assumption
At the turn of the last century scientists generally believed that the atmosphere was a thin layer surrounding the earth, after which the vacuum of space began, and today the science of physics is locked into the consequences of this false assumption.
It was also widely believed then that this vacuum of space permeated down through the atomic matter of the atmosphere and into the liquid and solid matter at the surface of the earth – the theory of ‘discontinuous’ matter, also known as kinetic atomic theory.
Today it is known that: – “The space shuttle at 300 km altitudes ‘in space’ was found to be in air, with the same proportions of oxygen and nitrogen as at sea level, at a concentration of 1 billion atoms per cc. Thus in no sense could it be called a vacuum.”
“The sun too has an atmosphere – that extends far beyond the orbit of the earth, and at 80,000 km our atmosphere merges imperceptibly with that of the sun.” (Michael Allaby, ‘Air, The Nature of Atmosphere and Climate’)
Today it is accepted, by applied scientists and technicians, that it is not possible to create a perfect vacuum in the laboratory, and further it is now acknowledged that a perfect vacuum ‘is a philosophical concept with no physical reality’ and that ‘outer space is a natural high quality (i.e. partial) vacuum’.
Today there is also empirical evidence that the theory of discontinuity is invalid. This has been provided since the early 1980’s by the technology of electron microscopy. The images of individual atoms in close proximity at the surfaces of solid matter produced by this technique, which take a considerable amount of time to produce, show no sign whatever of the motion or of the separation predicted by the theory.
