Errors of the Wheeler School, the Distortions to General Relativity and the Damage to Education in MIT Open Courses in Physics
General relativity is difficult to understand, and recently it is discovered as not yet self-consistent. Einstein’s theory of measurement is known as incompatible with the rest of physics, and thus misinterpretations were created. Among them, the dominant misinterpretations of the Wheeler School are due to inadequacy in mathematics and physics. In particular, their distortions of Einstein’s equivalence principle maintain initial errors and create their own errors. Moreover, the errors on dynamic solutions have far reaching consequences to other areas of physics. These errors are responsible for the mistakes in the press release of the 1993 Nobel Committee who was unaware of the non-existence of dynamic solutions and the experimental supports to Einstein’s equivalence principle. To illustrate the damages of such misinterpretations and errors to education, the MIT Open Course Phys. 8.033 is chosen since it is accessible to the public and the influence of the Wheeler School to MIT is a relatively recent event. Nevertheless, the rectifications of errors in general relativity lead to a discovery of the new chargemass interaction because E = mc2 is only conditionally valid. And experimental confirmations of such an interaction prove for the necessity of unification between gravitation and electromagnetism, and thus enable other theoretical progresses.
