Whitehead’s Theory and Invalidity of Einstein’s Covariance Principle C. Y. Lo Applied and Pure Research Institute 7 Taggart Drive, Unit E, Nashua, NH 03060 April 2011
Abstract Einstein’s covariance principle would imply that diffeomorhpic solutions are equivalent in physics, and it was proposed as a remedy for problems in his theory of measurement. However, Whitehead considered Einstein’s theory of measurement invalid in physics, and created his own theory as an alternative to general relativity. C. M. Will showed in 1971 that Whitehead’s theory is invalid because it predicts unrealistic time-dependence for the ebb and flow of ocean tides; but Will failed to see that Whitehead’s solution is diffeomorphic to Einstein’s. Therefore, Will inadvertently identified probably the first counter example for Einstein’s covariance principle.
Key Words: principle of general relativity; covariance principle; diffeomorphism; Einstein’s equivalence principle; Whitehead’s theory. |
