Imagination is more important than knowledge ----- Albert Einstein.
Using imagination to reveal the mechanism behind postulates is fundamentally important in science ---------- Bingcheng Zhao.


Core reminding. Fact 1: the starting point of Einstein’s special relativity is the speed (velocity) of light, whereas speed is a derived composite physical quantity rather than a fundamental physical quantity, i.e., Einstein’s special relativity is a product of forcing fundamental physical quantities (length and time) to fit a non-fundamental physical quantity (speed). Fact 2: Einstein’s special relativity does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames, being also a well-known and undeniable fact. These two facts will be tangibly helpful to digesting and accepting another proven fact that Einstein’s special relativity is mechanistically thus essentially wrong ---- the central topic of Ch.1D (P. 149 ~ 178, Ch.1D, reference #1).

[*Two acronyms: EPBSR = Einstein’s postulate-based special relativity (note, Einstein’s special relativity is based on two postulates, so its real name should be Einstein’s postulate-based special relativity), MRSRT = Mechanism-Revealed Scales Relativity Theory (P. 133 ~ 147, Ch.1C, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz3.blogspot.com/ ). Note: the legacy of postulate-based modern physics is several dozens of the postulate-based theory system of modern physics (PBTSMP) inherently and permanently incapable of solving fundamentally important problems in physics (P. 589 ~ 618, Appendix, reference #1), such as dark matter, dark energy, the Higgs boson, the Pioneer anomaly, etc…].

EPBSR is proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong, because EPBSR utterly skips over the mechanisms thus essences behind its describing phenomena via its two postulates, which is sufficiently supported with the following evidences. (1) EPBSR utterly skips over the mechanisms behind its describing phenomena, and these mechanisms have not been and cannot be revealed within the paradigm of EPBSR. Because the principle of the Constancy of Velocity Scale embedded in MRSRT reveals and is the mechanism behind the first postulate of EPBSR — ‘the constancy of the speed of light’ (the mechanism tells us why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames -- note); because the principle of Constant Scale Ratio of Mass, Length, and Time embedded in MRSRT reveals and is the mechanism behind the second postulate of EPBSR — ‘all physical laws are same in all inertial frames’ (ref., http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz19.blogspot.com/ ), it is undeniable that there are indeed solid physical mechanisms behind the two postulates of EPBSR. {*In analogy, the fact of finding out the lost wallet of a person is the proving that the person has lost his or her wallet}. Since entire EPBSR is totally derived from just its two postulates, the mechanisms of EPBSR are entirely encompassed in its two postulates. Since neither of the two postulates is able to reveal its own mechanism, EPBSR is unable to reveal its own mechanisms, i.e., EPBSR utterly skips over the mechanisms behind its describing phenomena. {*Narrator: any postulate is the product of temporarily unable to reveal the mechanism behind the postulate ---- after revealing the mechanism behind a postulate, the postulate is no longer a postulate}. (2) Since there are indeed solid physical mechanisms behind the two postulates of EPBSR, and since Length Contraction (LC) and Time Dilation (TD) are simply the direct consequences of the two postulates, there are indeed solid physical mechanisms behind the phenomena of LC and TD. Since the two postulates of EPBSR are unable to reveal their own mechanisms, the mechanisms behind LC and TD are utterly skipped over within the paradigm of EPBSR. (3) As the consequence that EPBSR utterly skips over the mechanisms behind its LC and TD phenomena, LC and TD turn out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong after their mechanisms are revealed with the newly established MRSRT. A crucial and clear clue helpful to digesting the proven fact that LC and TD turn out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong is: LC and TD are factually incompatible even within the paradigm of EPBSR, which is indicated by the fact that LC and TD have to be compulsorily isolated from each other in current description and demonstration; if a meter stick and a clock are put in a same inertial frame moving with high velocity, LC and TD will deny each other (P. 159 ~ 161, 1.17.1, Ch.1C, reference #1). Be emphasized, since the concept of LC and TD is the core of EPBSR, the reality that LC and TD turn out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong is equivalent to the undeniable fact that EPBSR turns out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong.

The key to understanding of the proven fact that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong: (1) knowing the greatest equation in the history of science, which is the famous mass-energy equation (E = mc^2 or E0 = mc^2), because the physical law (OMDW law; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz1.blogspot.com/ ), which reveals the mechanism behind the greatest equation in science (P. 114 ~ 118, 1.6, Ch.1B, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz2.blogspot.com/ ), is also the ultimate foundation that proves why EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. In other words, after knowing why mass has energy, you will easily understand the proven fact that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. (2) Once having known why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames via the newly established MRSRT (P. 133 ~ 147, Ch.1C, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz3.blogspot.com/ ), you will easily understand that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong, simply because EPBSR does not and cannot know why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames ---- being a well-known and undeniable fact. (3) Any postulate-based theory, including EPBSR of course, as long as it is proven skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena, is inevitably mechanistically thus essentially wrong. Why? The truth (the fact) is that there are solid physical mechanisms thus essences behind EPBSR describing phenomena, whereas according to the interpretations of EPBSR, these mechanisms thus essences do not exist at all — these mechanisms thus essences utterly evaporate within the paradigm of EPBSR.

Available clues can be helpful to digesting and accepting the proven fact that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. Clue 1: EPBSR is crucially self-contradictory even within its own paradigm (P. 165 ~ 166, 1.18.1, Ch.1D, reference #1). For example, relativistic mass (in EPBSR) utterly denies the first postulate of EPBSR via its contradiction of LC and TD; when considered with LC and TD together, relativistic mass literally contradicts the second postulate of EPBSR. Clue 2: EPBSR utterly contradicts the fact that electrons emit photons (P. 167, 1.18.2, Ch.1D, reference #1). EPBSR states the speed of light is a physically unattainable speed for any object that has a mass (i.e., electrons, since having mass, would never reach the speed of light according to EPBSR); EPBSR also states that only massless photons move at the speed of light. Therefore, by piecing the two statements of EPBSR together, it is clear that EPBSR contradicts the fact that electrons emit photons, because photons, since neither charge nor mass, cannot be accelerated or decelerated by any of electric, magnetic or gravitational forces or fields after they leave off electrons. Clue 3: the legacy of postulate-based modern physics along with that EPBSR is a theoretical pillar of modern physics.

The mechanistically thus essentially profound implications of EPBSR turns out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong. Any so-called experimental or observational verifications of EPBSR cannot be mechanistically thus essentially valid, simply because none of these verifications can touch the mechanisms thus essences behind EPBSR describing phenomena; any so-called interpretations of observed phenomena with EPBSR cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct, literally because none of these interpretations can include the mechanisms thus essences behind EPBSR describing phenomena (P. 168 ~ 172, 1.19.1, Ch.1D, reference #1).

The catastrophic consequences of not accepting the proven fact that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong: physics will continue to go further and further along the mechanistically thus essentially wrong track of EPBSR; it is definitely impossible to solve the fundamentally important problems of dark matter and dark energy. Two pieces of information: the problem of dark matter has been completely solved with the newly established and verified mechanism-revealed physics (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz30.blogspot.com/ ); the problem of dark energy has been completely solved with the newly established and verified mechanism-revealed physics (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz35.blogspot.com/ ).

Three pieces of related information: The law of object’s mass doing work (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz1.blogspot.com/ ); Establishing Mechanism-Revealed Scales Relativity Theory (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz3.blogspot.com/ ); Revealing the mechanism behind the postulates of Einstein’s special relativity (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz19.blogspot.com/ ).

By comparison: after establishing Mechanism-Revealed Scales Relativity Theory (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz3.blogspot.com/ ) that solves the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames, there is no reason or excuse not to accept the proven fact that EPBSR is mechanistically thus essentially wrong, simply because EPBSR does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why time and space are variable thus relative in different inertial frames.
