This website examines  historical and modern experiments on the nature of space and light, and possible new interpretations based on an alternative approach to the scientific evidence at hand.   What is the Conspiracy of Light? Why do relativity theory and the ether theory of Lorentz predict essentially the same outcomes for  virtually  every  optical  test  ever made of them, even though Einstein apparently made the ether "superfluous"? This is because of what we have come to call  "the conspiracy of light " - click on the image to the left to find out more... Paradoxes in Modern Physics  Do the past, present, and future co-exist? Does time travel at different rates in different parts of space? Is a photon really a particle or is it a wave? Modern physics presents a  world view that is sometimes both contradictory and irrational. - we explore the implications and potential faults in the "consensus view"  - click on the image to the left to find out more... Historical Papers and Alternative Views When a theory in science comes into dominance, other interesting and  perhaps equally  valid views are often ignored, forgotten or even suppressed - to the extent that the  historical  ante-cedents of certain modern ideas are obscured...we have attempted to provide internet links to free copies of many fascinating papers,  some  of  which  had not previously been available in english. - click on the image to the left to view our list... Experimental Tests on the Nature of Light and Space   In an ongoing series of papers, we examine the history and theory behind the experimental tests used to choose between medium of space theories (a.k.a. the ether) and relativity. We examine the possible flaws with relativity theory, and how a modern interpretation of Lorentz's work might better address these shortcomings - click on the image to the left for more... Our Experiments and Videos  A collection of experiments  we have performed over the years, testing  new  ideas or claims made by others.  Also  provided are construction  articles  on  how to build  various  scientific instruments on a budget.  -  click  on  the  image  to  the  left to view our research articles and videos, including our YouTube channel... Cosmology Did the big bang really happen, or does a steady state universe better describe reality? Does cosmological redshift really mean that the universe is expanding?  We  examine  some of the key issues troubling cosmology today. -  click on  the image  to the left to visit our cosmology section... Web Apps Links  to  our  collection  of  on-line  web tools  and  simulators  for  studying  the behaviour of  interferometers and the expected outcome of various optical and chronographic experiments   -  click on  the image  to the left for the entire list...         (n) con·spir·a·cy [kuhn-spir-uh-see] (def.) 1. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design. Does light conspire to hide its true nature? Is there an objective reality, or has modern physics proven that nature is denied the reality of being?   feedback  last update 02/24/2012
