The Goal of Scientific Experiments
Experiments are used to confirm the predictions of models and theories. While they cannot positively confirm the existence of a single theory as the only way of explaining the result, they can be used to validate the predictions of the model or theory.
Some proponents of SRT suggest that Einstein's theory is the only theory that is experimentally supported by experiments like Michelson-Morley or Ives-Stillwell. This section will explore this assertion with surprising results!
Comparing SRT to the CICS Model
The Complete and Incomplete Coordinate Systems model offers corrections to Einstein's equations, introduces a new set of equations, and offer predictions that differ from those defined by SRT. Since it corrects specific problems with SRT, it must offer equal or better quantitative predictions of the experimental results.
- The Michelson-Morley Interferometer Experiment - See why the Michelson-Morley experimental data, when analyzed using the Superposition of Waves principle reveals their detection of an Earth orbital velocity of 30 km/s; which was their expected result! This finding supports the CICS model while challenging the validity of SRT on experimental grounds!
- The Ives and Stillwell Atomic Clock Experiment - See how the CICS model offers equal or better predictions for the Atomic Clock experiment, dispelling a belief that SRT is the only model that can correctly predict the results of this experiment!
- The Variable Velocity of Light Experiments - See modern experiments that appear to contradict SRT by controlling the speed of light, or apparently increasing it beyond 299,792,458 meters per second.
