Abstract:
Relativity theory has been around for over a century now and to this day acolytes in support of the theory have completely surrendered their faculties to equations and concepts that they don’t fully understand or care to. The classical proofs of relativity are often cited to handwave dismiss any criticisms of the theory, despite not even being able to describe what “spacetime” is exactly. This presentation attempts to make clarifications on what spacetime is and taking it a step further, I will make the case that spacetime has to be a physical entity if any curvature thereof was responsible for the physical effects that are attributed to it as proof of the theory.
Classical Proofs of Relativity Theory: Perihelion precession of Mercury, deflection of light by the sun, gravitational redshift, misc. indirect confirmations of the theory (time dilation).
If relativity theory were to supersede the Newtonian framework, it would need to prove the concept of “spacetime” is a physical entity that has a mechanical cause and effect relationship with how it interacts with physical objects. Here we will examine the historical narrative and experiments that are put forward to support the physicality of spacetime.
