Australians debunk Einstein's theory

Einstein's theory of relativity may have guided our understanding 
of the universe for almost 100 years, but there may be a mistake 
in Albert Einstein's ground-breaking theory of relativity. Sydney, 
aug 8 (Agencies). A team of Australian scientists claimed they can 
prove that the speed of light is not constant.If they are right, 
the core physics equation e=mc2 is incorrect, because its 
foundation is that light always travels at 300,000 kilometres per 
second.
Observations at the edge of the known universe by university of 
new south wales astronomer John webb led the team to thinking that 
Einstein's concepts on the relationship between matter, space and 
time may be flawed. Webb couldn't find an explanation for the 
behaviour of light from 12-billion-year-old 
quasars.Internationally acclaimed cosmologist paul davies of 
macquarie university in sydney took up the challenge of proving 
that quasar light could indeed be explained by the famous e=mc2 
equation that energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the 
speed of light. He couldn't. Davies told Australia's ABC radio 
that he was flabbergasted when he found what appeared to be a 
deception at the heart of the German-born Nobel Prize-winning 
physicist's Revolutionary Theory. '

'It's one of the basic laws of physics, one of the basic laws of 
the universe, that the speed of light should not vary, and yet the 
evidence seems to suggest that it might be varying,'' Davies said. 
The work of Davies and his team, published in the latest issue of 
Nature magazine, is set to shake the cornerstone of modern 
physics. Davies is a heavyweight in the world of science. Last 
week, he was named the winner of the 2002 Michael Faraday award 
 from the Royal Society in London.

He admits that the notion that the speed of light has been slowing 
over time is difficult to grasp.
''it is very hard to find a mathematical scheme that can 
accommodate a changing speed of light,'' he said.And he is well 
aware of the implications if the notion is accepted as truth.''it 
also affects other branches of physics, like thermodynamics and 
quantum physics - that very basis of all our fundamental physical 
theories - if these observations are correct.'' .
If the best-known physics equation - e=mc2 - is wrong, even school 
physics textbooks would have be rewritten.''Einstein would have 
absolutely hated this,'' said davies. ''His entire theory of 
relativity was founded on the notion that the speed of light is an 
absolute, fixed, universal number.''
