Title: Chasing a ghost
Product review: I've read the core of this work. I am convinced that Dr. Kelly did not have anything close to the mathematical ability to read Einstein's original paper, which contains very difficult formulas.Instead, Dr. Kelly tried to get the gist of Einstein's ideas by reading the comments between the formulas. He siezed on one comment that seemed to equate rotating frames with inertial frames. In the book, Dr. Kelly's central argument is against this equivalence.But Einstein did not equate these frames at all - Dr. Kelly simply misinterpreted a comment in the dense, poorly annotated Relativity theory. And yet, when he encountered books that spelt out Relativity in plain terms, he insisted they were the ones misreading Einstein.Dr. Kelly's own 'theories' are mathematically facile and quickly lead to self-contradictions. There is a scientific mistake in the first paragraph of the first chapter. Perhaps the best use of the book is as an exercise for students, to find the errors?
