Question by : What if Einstein’s theory of relativity has been proven false?
We all did read something about this yesterday. I am not physicist. My question is: what changes might happen?

This means that physics will have to start working towards a better theory that matches all of the experimental evidence and predicts it in the first place.
How would that happen? nothing moves faster than the speed of light?…so your question shouldn’t be what changes would happen, it should be could it happen?
If Newtonian physics are proved false, then we will have to redefine entire Physics. But the failure of Einteinian physics won’t matter because it’s already too complex and is applied occassionally. If that happens or I mean if it has to fail a new theory should spring up which will be more weird than what we have now by Einstein.
It means that:
1.If there is afterlife,Tesla is laughing how much time took us to understand “simple mathematics” (as he explained many things and undocumented (as far as public knows) patents)
2.That physics books and teachers will have much problems-if they dont change something,I wont be able to have at least 3 written tests and bunch of lessons
3.That scientists will have to find that error,and more important,to try to see if Einsteins theory can be used with some limitations,then correct many theories based on it…And start listening to scientists that have some other ides,including Tesla
5.That many more things are possible-we can travel faster than light and thats just the beginning.Actually,proving that theory is false may open more possibilities than its discovery,especially if it can be used with limitations-then well have much more freedom,but some useful formulas as well.
