I am lecturing a two semester course in Differential Geometry, and I
recommended my students to look into the theory of General Relativity,
whenever they have time to spare for it. I noticed by googling away,
that the name Stephen J. Crothers comes up frequently in connection
with GR. Sometimes he is credited for being a professional
mathematician, sometimes a phycisist, and yet other times as a being a
library assistant. I began to doubt the former, after reading some of
his material. He also seems to have a definite weak point when it
comes to interpreting Einstein's field equations, which could be true
though of phycisists in general who are not specialists. There seem to
be some publications around on library related issues which have
Crothers as a coauthor and seem to approach their objects of study
with a professional enough attitude, speaking as a non-expert myself.
Is it known whether this person is actually a mathematician, a
physicist, or a library assistant? And if neither of the former, then
why is he constantly refererred to as an expert on General Relativity?

Stephen J. Crothers flunked out of his PhD program some years back, and
carries one hell of a chip on his shoulder about it.

How on earth did this guy's name come up in your searches?

His interpretations are asinine.

What's great about Crothers is that not only is he super obvious about his
antisemitism, as he took the time to publish a poorly sourced book it, but
that he also takes the time to post correspondence that makes him look like
a moron.

I am of like mind with Roy Kerr.

The only people who speak of Crothers in a positive manner are those who
have an axe to grind against jews, relativity, Einstein specifically, or
science in general. You had to ask your question in a newsgroup that is
largely populated by people who wouldn't even know their ass from a hole in
the ground if they sat in on your lectures on differential geometry.

If you want some decent resources for general relativity, stay the fuck off
the internet. Assclowns like Crothers have all the time in the world and a
platform to spout their idiocies.

If you want to give your students a reasonable introduction to general
relativity, I would suggest Sean Carroll's lecture notes on the subject.

The same way EinsteinHoax's name comes up. They (or their followers)
post a lot, and depending on search engine, obtain more hits. One of
the reasons EinsteinHoax posts everywhere... cheap advertising.

It is a relief if this does not happen to everybody. I recall
now that I recommended a lecture series by Leonard Susskind from
youtube to my students. There were fewer lectures in the series
than I had thought, and I began to look for additional material.
On youtube there was a video on GR posted which turned out to be
nonsensical and it featured Crothers. So I did a Google search on
Crothers then, to see what this was all about. I guess that that
is the reason why Google keeps feeding me results related to this
guy.

The lectures at Stanford by Susskind on "Physics for Old People"
are actually not bad. It is basic stuff, but okay for my students
most of whom are not physics students.

Thanx, I have taken note of your suggestion.

So my original question seems hard to answer. Is Crothers a
library assistant essentially without any academic credentials
but pretending to be a mathematician and a physicist? Or is he
actually a "professional mathematician", and if so, what is his
affiliation, where did he achieve his PhD, and what did he do
in it? And/or is he a "physicist" without a PhD, and if so,
where did he achieve his Masters degree in physics, and in which
field?

That is a typical conversation between two Einstein Dingleberries who
know nothing better other than the intoxicating taste of fermented
diarrhea from Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar.
Wow! Did yours truly fully get your attention or what?

Yes, the so-called specialists in this subject get to their
specialized positions by thoroughly exploiting the following Orwellian
doctrines.

** FAITH IS THEORY
** LYING IS TEACHING
** NITWIT IS GENIUS
** OCCULT IS SCIENCE
** PARADOX IS KOSHER
** BULLSHIT IS TRUTH
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING
** IGNORANCE IS KNOWLEDGE
** MYSTICISM IS WISDOM
** CONJECTURE IS REALITY
** PLAGIARISM IS CREATIVITY
** MATHEMAGICS IS MATHEMATICS

Since it is absolutely impossible to describe any geometry without
agreeing on a specific set of coordinate system first, any astute
student of physics should easily understand the following. This
understanding is easily categorized under grade school level that is
under 6th grade.

** Geometry is invariant. The geometry is what it is regardless of
one's chosen coordinate system. <shrug>

** The coordinate system alone cannot possibly describe the invariant
geometry.

** Knowing the choice of coordinate system, it takes the so-called
metric to fully describe the geometry.

Consider the following geometry,

** ds^2 = g_ij dq^i dq^j

Where

** ds = Invariant geometry
** g_ij = Elements to the metric [g]
** dq^i, dq^j = Coordinate

It becomes ever so obvious that the metric [g] with elements g_ij
alone cannot possibly describe the geometry ds. For example, under
flat spacetime,

** [g1] = [1 0 0]
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1] with d[q] = [dx, dy, dz]

** [g2] = [1 0 0]
[0 r^2 cos^2(Latitude) 0]
[0 0 r^2] with d[q] = [dr, dLongitude, dLatitude]

[g1] and [g2] are drastically different, but because of the also very
different choices of coordinate systems that the described geometry is
exactly the same. This concept has no problem to be understood by
grade school kids, but the so-called specialists are drastically at
lost due to the said Orwellian doctrines above. What a pity!

2,500 years in China, there existed two great philosophers. One was
Mozi.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozi

He preached inner perfection. As related to what we are discussing,
Mozi urged all to understand the subject by oneself. On the contrary,
Confucius was preaching one must rely on someone who is supposed to
possess higher intelligence to think for oneself. Well, in an ideal
world, that is fine, but in reality, the supposed specialists are as
dumb as the special rocks displaced in any museum. It becomes so
problematic to allow someone who is as dumb as or dumber than you are
to think for you. Well, China had the greatest technological
achievements, but they adopted Confucianism instead of Mozi's
teachings in the past few thousands of years. Guess what that got
themselves in today.

The whole exercise revolves around how to deal with the infinite
numbers of solutions to the field equations that are static,
spherically symmetric, and asymptotically flat. Schwarzschild had
years of research before the field equations were presented by Hilbert
and plagiarized by Einstein the nitwit, the plagiarist, and the liar.
Schwarzschild discovered that the field equations (namely the Ricci
tensor) can be drastically simplified if the metric yields a
determinant of -1. So, he sought out to covert the common spherically
symmetric polar coordinate system into one that would yield the
determinant of its metric to be of -1. After obtaining the solution,
he must covert it back and did so to the common spherically polar
coordinate system. The result was totally different from the
Schwarzschild metric. Schwarzschild's original solution does not
manifest black holes. It was Hilbert who discovered that indeed there
were an infinite solutions to the field equations. In doing so, he
wrote down the Schwarzschild metric. Disappointed, Hilbert then
walked away from all that nonsense and allowed Einstein the nitwit,
the plagiarist, and the liar to take full credit.

Well, as I understand it, Mr. Crothers discovered anther solution
below to the field equations that does not manifest black holes. He
is merely demonstrating that his solution is truer that the
Schwarzschild metric.

ds^2 = c^2 dt^2 / (1 + 2 K / r) - (1 + 2 K / r) dr^2 - (r + K)^2 dO^2

Where

** K = G M / c^2
** dO^2 = cos^2(Latitude) dLongitude^2 + dLatitude^2

In the meantime, the Schwarzschild metric below is also a solution.

ds^2 = c^2 (1 - 2 K / r) dt^2 - dr^2 / (1 - 2 K / r) - r^2 dO^2

There is no known boundary condition that allows one to settle on Mr.
Crother's metric over the Schwarzschild metric and vice versa. So,
Mr. community college teacher, you must be a follower of Confucius.

Hi Stephen, we were just talking about you.
My question actually wasn't about your inner perfection.
More modestly, it was about how to explain you to my students.
Perhaps as a professional mathematician, and in that case in
which field of specialty. Or as a physicist, and in that case
in which field of specialty. Or as a library assistant, and a
social science graduate.
Good that you are here to clear it up once and for all.

OK sam, give me an hour or two to think about it. ,
PrivatePlayground, or abo.
What is known about this Crothers?

generally, the choice of cartesian is limited.... and slow your
horses.


To think for you?

While it is true that many quarters have been longstanding, a house is
supported by its own beams. It seems a limited application to apply
the rules of cram to a house... and find that it not burst its seams.
It would seem that your problem is an application of the law/rule.
If your society has fallen to the realm of Mozi, or Confucius, then
you have missed the true dynamic.

The rule for all society is to take the best of the time, and not
indoctrinate yourself silly. Hindsight proves useful in known cases,

However, it seems the stick used to measure is the real issue.
Consider a society that has chosen to take free liberties without
restraint... where did that lead?

In the best and most productive societies, I suspect it has to be
about give and take... a little compromise at a time. An interesting
result of allowing small compromises is that one extends ones limited
world view. ALWAYS

regarding the house, some things need to stand strong. if you think
its an easy task, then I submit that your first small compromise to be
total excess in restraint (or perhaps just as an exercise). We are
after all, allowing ones right to choose; This doesn't even yet
approach the subject of math.. i.e. There will always be moral
delemas in the establishing of societal hierarchies

Lets have a look at the institution of brotherhood... I remember ones
societies most outstanding argument for society was " individual
pursuits " being the governing factor for all encounters. In a
society where individuals sort out a brotherhood for its privileges,
theres no problem. Now add limited resources, and competition for
favour, and now your governing principle begins to crack under the
strain. It can even grow to the point of total structural breakdown.

this in no way reveals you though, how could one discourse get to the
real heart of the issue. But thats the other benefit of compromise,
one will eventually reach it... On both sides of the equation.


As for the math,
ofcourse geometry is invariant, but structure is always forms of
geometry. And the real art is in the structure.

don't be so fast to only advocate the cartesian coordination.

Hmmm... It does not matter how you whine about your asinine
accusations. Einstein remains a nitwit, a plagiarist, and a liar.
Hell, even your Jew buddy --- that Russian dude who took over an
honest working farmer's land in Palestine is trashing Einstein more so

That is not a wise advice. With the advent of internet, all skeletons
in the closets come out to tell their sides of stories since there are
always two sides to each story. You are still a college dropout. You
prefer to stay in vegetated state, remember? To possibly assess the
validity of one claim, you must examine as many evidences as
possible. <shrug>

You got to be kidding. Very, very few kids would even understand the
mathematics in that. The lecture repeats all the errors brought up by
these self-styled physicists in the past hundred years. Since these
kids would not be able to understand all that, they would just resort
to mysticism just like yourself and the self-styled physicists in the
past hundred years. Remember the Orwellian teachings that Orwell had
so pointed out:

** FAITH IS THEORY
** LYING IS TEACHING
** NITWIT IS GENIUS
** OCCULT IS SCIENCE
** PARADOX IS KOSHER
** BULLSHIT IS TRUTH
** BELIEVING IS LEARNING

Crothers is maligned here in the most dishonest of terms; just plain
lies. The fact is he has himself reported in full the issues
surrounding his PhD. Here is the relevant website:

www.sjcrothers.plasmaresources.com/PhD.html

Crothers is not a library assistant and never was. He did not "flunk"
his PhD because he was prevented from submitting his thesis by several
disgruntled professors at the University of New South Wales. One of
them, one Professor Chris Hamer, altered Crothers' work and upon that
alteration claimed that Crothers was wrong and with that Hamer and the
other cronies (including professors Couch and Webb) blocked Crothers'
PhD thesis submission. They even told Crothers that he had to change
his thesis topic if he wanted a PhD from UNSW. All this is reported by
Crothers in detail with irrefutable documentary evidence on the above
website.

Crothers holds a masters degree in astronomy, pass with distinction.

Telling lies about Crothers does not constitute a scientific argument.

Correct.

Some of Crother's technical points are correct, eg his point that one of the
professors was incorrect in his guess about one of the metrics not being
Ricci-flat. However, most of them are not.

He does not understand the concept of conformal invariance, eg two metrics
related by a coordinate transformation describe the same manifold. But
that's almost ancillary to his complete lack of understanding of general
relativity. He know enough to plug and chug on some of the equations, but
his long whining article in Progress in Physics about 'misconceptions' that
'relativists' have about GR is not only comfortingly familiar but wrong in a
new and uninteresting way.

For example, he makes the claim that R_ab = 0 is equivalent to Minkowski
space. Which is wrong and stupid. He also makes the claim that 'infinite
energy' violates special relativity (???) and thus violates general
relativity (???!).

Just imagine kooby-wooby.

I'm rather hoping he'll come back so I can demolish his analysis one point
at a time. My current hobbies aren't cutting it.

Plus, how fucking STUPID would you have to be to behave this way to your
advisor and his colleagues? Jesus christ. No matter how snarky and acidic I

I think modern cosmology has become dogmatic and bamboozled the masses for too long.

Einstein said his theory of relativity did not fit with reality and that black holes were not possible.

He is a well-known confused soul. Here is what I know from interacting
with him a few times:

1. He is a nice fellow in person,

2. He doesn't understand differential geometry and how it's used in GR,

3. At one point he didn't know how to pronounce "Ricci".

It was a while ago but IIRC one of his standard mistakes is confusing
tensors with their coordinate expressions. Naturally from this one false
thing anything can (and does) logically follow, including his YouTube videos
:-)

I have spoken with Steven Crothers over the phone as I am an educator myself and he lives locally. I have nothing bad to say about him, other than I disagree with his assertion that black holes do not exist.

Over the phone there are moments of pressured speech, but all in all, he seems open to discuss things and does not 'insist' upon the correctness of his claims.

Interpretations are an issue in science no matter how specialised an individual, but as I understand it Steven has lectured at the university of Sydney in mathematics. In my opinion, people like him are useful. He has assembled a legion of followers which only stands to make things more interesting, generate more argument interest and ambiguity (the primordial soup of idea generation).

On facebook I had a debate with one of his followers (Steven knows I'm a contrarian to his point of view), but he remained polite.

Given the following general spacetime geometry,

** dS² = [g]_ij d[q]^i d[q]^j

Where

** dS = spacetime geometry
** [g] = matrix that represents the metric
** [q] = choice of coordinate system to describe dS

The metric [g] is what the geometry dS would have been described (perfectly +/- error bars in reality) by [q]. The Schwarzschild spacetime geometry clearly says any black hole can only exist in the infinite future according to an observer using [q] (such as earthlings) to describe the geometry (the cosmos). That means a black hole can never be observed according to the Schwarzschild geometry. Mr. Corther is right! <shrug>

Actually that's kind of right but its not the full solution or complete way of looking at the problem. The problem regards the difference between LOCAL and non-local observation of black holes. So this is my one and only offering to help clear it up.

Any black holes observed are observed non-locally. i.e. we do not observe the black hole directly, but the things around it and what they do. So I think the equation you rather require is this...

ds^2 = ψc^2.dt^2 − ψ^−1.dr^2 − r^2 (dθ^2 + sin^2(θ)dφ^2

where rs is the Schwarzschild radius, given by

rs = 2GM/c^2

and where,

φ = −GM/r
(otherwise classical grav potential).

The solution for falling into a black hole is given by,

ct = rs.ln(r0−rs/rt−rs)+r0-rt

So, how much time is required for a body falling into a black hole is given by

ct = lim_(rt→rs){rs.ln(r0-rs/rt-rs) + r0-rt} = ∞

So as you say and are correct in saying, "The Schwarzschild spacetime geometry clearly says any black hole can only exist in the infinite future"

However Koobee, this does NOT mean that black holes can not be indirectly observed. We can see things orbiting them, or being sucked into them dude, and we've just detected gravitational waves coming from them. There's some sense in being empirical about it I guess. But in these types of scenarios the evidence isn't correlative. There's no 'coefficient' to rely on for the black hole existence. We know what causes that kind of gravitational system. Black holes dude.

You are handwaving again. <shrug>

That is according to all mathematical models of physics. Why are you making such a big deal out of something that is the only way? <shrug>

If ψ = 1 – 2 U where U = 2 G M / c^2 / r, that is the Schwarzschild metric which is a subset of the equation Koobee Wublee has described above. You certainly seem terribly confused. <shrug>

> So this is my one and only offering to help clear it up.

It is understandable because of your confusion. You have no chance of offering any help to anyone as long as you are remaining confused. <shrug>

Why are you worrying about Stephan Crothers if you are so involved in your own strong belief system and so subjected to it that you cant see the need to be objective and to look alternate point of view and for gods sake stop with arrogant comments about the mans educational status it a typical debunking trick

People who attack those critical of the theories of Einstein are anti-anti-semite HATERS. Even though it's stupid to attack the messenger, these Einstein fans have no choice but to resort to ad hominem arguments because they have no answer to the rational and logical arguments of those who have figured out that Einsteins theories are fake science.

What Mr Crothers has or has not done, what qualification he has or not, has nothing to do with Einstein's work being wrong.

The Einstein saga is just a political tool used by Zionist's or whatever you want to call them.

Its got so obvious now that when I want to read up on any subject, I first check if the author has been labelled as an antisemite or a Holocaust denier. Then if he is, I'll read his material with interest, he is probably on to something interesting.
Anyone who is strongly into Einstein or the Holocaust and uses words like Antisemitism is not trustworthy and their words are full of deception.
After encountering such a person it's wise to take a cleansing shower.

It looks undoubtedly like another severe case of not understanding
relativity here. Hey listen, relativity is not wrong because that. Get
yourself a proper education before commenting things like that.

Well ... Relativity is mostly right.... except for the Kinematic Viscosity Of Space Time

(2/pi)/((planck length)^2/(planck length/c)) = (13.8880509 billion light years)

(1 (m^2)) / ((1 m) / c) = 299792458 m^2 / s

((G / c) * (pi^2)) * (1 Mpc) = 67798.6421 m/s Hubble
