Autodynamics

Autodynamics is a replacement for special relativity and general relativity proposed by Ricardo Carezani in the early 1940s.

The primary claim of Autodynamics is that the equations of the Lorentz transformation are incorrectly formulated, which as a result causes special relativity and general relativity to be invalid. The effect of the revised equations proposed by Autodynamics is to cause particle mass to decrease with particle velocity, being exchanged with kinetic energy (with mass being zero and kinetic energy being equal to the rest mass at C). This exchange between mass and energy is the proposed mechanism underlying most of the derived conclusions of Autodynamics.

Secondary claims of Autodynamics are the nonexistence of the neutrino, the existence of additional particles that have not been observed by mainstream physicists (including the "picograviton" and the "electromuon"), and the existence of additional decay modes for muons and interaction modes for energetic atomic nuclei. T experimental evidence supports these predictions. In particular, they cite a 1946 experiment by William W. Buechner and Robert J. Van de Graaff which failed to observe any "missing energy" when a high-energy electron beam stopped in a calorimeter^[1]; however, this result is also consistent with mainstream physics, which does not predict neutrino emission in an electromagnetic process. Proponents also claim that all published observations of the neutrino are due to experimental errors.

A 1999 article in the popular magazine Wired^[2] quotes Pierre Noyes, a professor at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, as claiming "most scientists consider Autodynamics little more than a "crackpot theory"". Autodynamics supporters dispute this claim, and say that the design of the experiment performed by Noyes rendered its results useless and therefore did not constitute a definitive refutation of autodynamics. There has been no definitive experimental proof that would render either of Carezani's or Noyes' views the last word on the matter. Autodynamicists claim that Nobel Laureate, Dr. Luis Alvarez of Berkeley was interested in helping them design an improved version of this experiment^[4]. They furthermore reject the claim^[3], by Lee Smolin, a physics professor at Penn State University^[2], that there has been "no serious attempt [by the autodynamics supporters] to make an argument or to discuss experimental data that refute their basic claims".
