Ricardo Carezani

Ricardo Libertario Carezani (Córdoba, Argentina; 11 April 1921) is an Argentine theoretical physicist. Carezani is best known for proposing the theory of Autodynamics (AD), which aimed to formulate a mathematical basis of Einstein's theories of special and general relativity.^[1]

Biography

Dr. Carezani was born in the city of Córdoba, to an Italian activist and quiet mother. At the age of 10, he moved to Tucumán, where he completed his primary, secondary and university studies. He studied elecro-mechanical engineering at the National University of Tucumán and formulated the first draft of his theory Autodynamics at age 24. He graduated in 1947 with a Ph. D.^[2] Much of his further life has been devoted to his improvements on his theory, though some have proven to be controversial or even proven fallacious.^[3]

He moved to Buenos Aires in 1953 and married an elementary school teacher. During this time period, he succeeded to publish his research in an important newspaper in Buenos Aires. However, this was shunned from the viewpoint of the Peron government who had close links to traditional relativists. For the next twenty years, he started his own mechanical engineering corporation and occasionally altered his theory.

In 1966, the mafia asked Carezani to offer the government 1/4 of his earnings. However, Carezani refused and sought to make a difference internationally. That time came in 1979 when Argentina lessened its travel restrictions, and was encouraged by his colleagues to conduct research internationally. That year, he moved with his family Long Beach, California, USA. Carezani worked with Pierre Noyes at various linear accelerators, and conducted further lab work in MIT and the University of Barcelona. However, importantly, while some of the theories were proven true, many were proven false through the experiments conducted at the Stanford Linear Accelerator.

However, after the setbacks in the 1980s, Carezani regained some prominence in the 1990s and 2000s. In 1991, he discovered a mathematical conversion theorizing that special relativity is a subset of autodynamics. Despite a heart transplant in 1992 stopping any research for the next year, Carezani regained momentum and founded the Society of the Advancement of Autodynamics, a California-Based organization now run by David De Hilster. In 1996, Carezani was presented the "Lifetime Achievement Award" in relative physics, and he published his first book one year later.

Today, Carezani has mostly retired his formal laboratory work. He continues to compile his findings into books and display his theory on television documentaries.

About Autodynamics

Autodynamics provides physicists with working quantum models not just for subatomic interactions but also for universal gravitation.

Its equations conserve momentum in atomic decay processes. SR fabricates the concept of the neutrino to rationalize the excess theoretical momentum inherent in its equations. (A strategy described by its inventor as 'a desperate remedy') The acceptance of this fabrication means that whenever a new decay process is discovered. AD views the universe as a cyclic process of energy absorption and mass decay, in which nothing is at rest. It is self-energizing, and perpetual (hence the epithet of Autodynamics).^[4]

At the microscopic level AD equations are supported by experiment. Some examples are:

• Atomic decay
• Electron-K capture
• Linear momentum transfer in Nuclear-Nuclear collisions
• Proton-proton annihilation
• Electron-electron annihilation

AD equations describe atomic decay and all the above without the need for the neutrino.

In the case of Radium E decay, Carezani has proposed a New Radium-E experiment, published in Physics Essays (1988). Subsequent research, however, was uncovered in an experiment by MIT scientists Buechner and Van Der Graaf Physics Review (1946). It concurs with Carezani's AD thesis in that it too eliminates the need for the neutrino, and any other vicarious particle.^[5]

AD Kinetic Energy equations improve upon the generally accepted equations for the Compton Effect. This has been verified by peer group review, (Physics Essays volume 4, number 1, 1991) . It is able to do this on the basis of the AD principle of energy absorption-mass decay, rather than the simpler model of photon strikes electron, photon deviates.^[6]

AD considers energy to be particulate rather than waveform. It views entropy as being constant and does not support the big bang theory or an expanding universe and does not accept a universal speed limit attributed to light by SR.^[7]

Carezanian Velocity Addition

The autodynamics velocity addition equation is significantly different in concept from the classical one in that it treats movement as part of the entire system so movement must be gotten from the mass itself. The ADvelocity addition equation is^[5]:

where

For common experiences where , this reduces to

This fact marks a significant advantage Special Relativity has over autodynamics; at speeds much less than the speed of light, the Lorentz transformations reduce to the Galilean transformations, and Special Relativity predicts for the expected result:

Autodynamics proponents argue that reduction of SR's equations to Newton is not an advantage given that Autodynamic equations do not violate conservation of energy and are all Newtonian.

Following the autodynamics model, an object that was traveling at a velocity of 3 meters per second with respect to a stationary observer were to measure a third object moving in the same direction to have a velocity of an additional 4 meters per second, autodynamics would predict that the stationary observer would measure a velocity of approximately meters per second while special relativity would predict a velocity of approximately meters per second.

Autodynamics proponents argue that the prediction of autodynamics is that the velocity will be less than that predicted by classical physics given that both velocities from both moving objects come from the mass itself and thus velocity sum cannot be used as an argument for disproving autodynamics given they are two different concepts.^[8]

Critics

There are a number of critics of autodynamics. For example, Mark Norris has devoted much time to pointing out the more obvious flaws with autodynamics. Other examples of objections to Autodynamics dating back to the early 1990s can be found on various physics forums, one such argument is provided by Tom Roberts in his "A Physicist's Refutation of Autodynamics"
