Two Major Mistakes in Electromagnetic Theory
During the years 1850–1900, as Electromagnetic Theory was still taking shape, the question of what the speed of light in physics truly was became a key issue. Scientists at the time believed that light traveled through a VACUUM at the speed c (c: the speed of light constant). Although the idea that light travels in a vacuum was merely an assumption, it was perceived and accepted as a fact. However, in order to reach such a conclusion, all necessary experiments should have been conducted— but they weren’t. Accepting this assumption became the first and greatest error in physics, because light does not travel through a vacuum but rather within FIELDS.
At the very beginning of the 1900s, a second major error followed. The assumption that light travels at speed c in a vacuum was combined with the idea that the speed of light does not change according to different reference frames. As a result, the Theory of Relativity emerged. Of course, this theory predicted certain outcomes, among which time dilation was particularly notable. The observation of this effect in measurements led to the theory's acceptance as correct and caused it to become increasingly dominant in the field of physics.
Today, physicists come from an educational system that accepts the two assumptions mentioned above as true. They have been trained and conditioned to believe in these assumptions. Consequently, their thought systems are shaped by these beliefs. Regardless of the topic, accepting an incorrect assumption as correct can harm even the most intelligent minds. Unfortunately, this is the troubling situation in physics today. The errors made in the theoretical foundations of physics in the past have persisted to the present day. These errors continue to block the reasoning paths of physicists and cause harm not only to them but also to other scientific fields.
What is the correct assumption for physics?
All objects possess their own fields. Electromagnetic interaction does not occur through empty space but through these fields. Therefore, light does not travel through a vacuum, but within fields. The speed of light is constant relative to the field it travels within. This speed equals c (the speed of light constant). For this reason, light travels at a constant speed not with respect to other reference frames, but only in relation to its destination. The destination is the object that owns the field the light is traveling through. This, in summary, is the operational mechanism of electromagnetic interaction.
Of course, if Electromagnetic Theory is to be built on such a foundation, a compatible mathematical basis must be used. This is the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics.
As it stands today, the mathematics of Electromagnetic Theory can only describe interactions between stationary frames. When applied to moving frames, it produces errors. The (c+v)(c−v) mathematics extends electromagnetic interaction to cover interactions between relatively moving frames.
Within the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics, the Theory of Relativity naturally becomes an extension of Electromagnetic Theory. Because, as you will see in this study, the mathematics of the Theory of Relativity is already (c+v)(c−v). Effects such as time dilation, length contraction, and simultaneity, which are discussed within the scope of the Theory of Relativity, are clearly present as results of this mathematics. The (c+v)(c−v) mathematics also encompasses phenomena like the Doppler Effect, which has not been fully explained in physics.
This study in your hands explains what kind of results can be obtained when Electromagnetic Theory is based on the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics. It also demonstrates how the Theory of Relativity should be structured.
The Inevitable Fork in the Road
The proof of the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics for Electromagnetic Theory was completed years ago. You will see some of these proofs here as well. Of course, whether light travels through a vacuum or through a field can be determined by an experiment. As a thought experiment, I have explained in the "Experiment" section of this study what such an experiment should look like.
I hereby make a public call to the physics community. The Alice Law is a highly valuable study that builds and guides the physics of the future. I sincerely hope you will understand its theory thoroughly.
How Will the Future of Physics Be Shaped?
In my opinion, with the publication of my study titled *Alice Law Version 7*, the Theory of Relativity has come to an end. Because Electromagnetic Theory and the Theory of Relativity have now been unified. Concepts such as time dilation and length contraction, which were once part of the Theory of Relativity, should from now on be included within Electromagnetic Theory under the name “Relativity Effects.” This unification also alters the meaning of General Relativity. General Relativity will no longer go beyond expressing a generalization formed by adding the force effect to the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics. It will shrink and become part of Electromagnetic Theory, and it will no longer have its own distinct mathematics. It is more accurate to consider the Theory of Relativity as a sub-branch within Electromagnetic Theory. Henceforth, there will be no distinction between Special and General Relativity, and the Theory of Relativity will not be considered separate from Electromagnetic Theory.
Electromagnetic interaction occurs through fields, and in the future, fields will become the top research priority in physics. Perhaps I should say it like this: the future goal of physics will be to discover and understand the reasons that give rise to the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics.
With my sincere regards.
