NASA Scientist says Einstein mistranslated
According to NASA scientist (retired) Dr. Edward Dowdye: the scientific writings of Einstein have been mistranslated from German into English. [1] Dr. Dowdye is fluent in English and German, [2] and part of a community of scientists who are questioning the relativity theory. He said he has gained the respect of a number of renowned physicists who agree with his stance. [3]
I have looked into this issue and given talks comparing the usual translation of Einstein’s 1905 paper on relativity with a newer translation. [4]
It appears that Einstein was not fluent in English and was talking in his native language of German to English-speaking audiences even in 1931 while in Oxford, England. [5] Thus he had to rely heavily on his translators, but what seems to have happened is they did not translate properly the nuances and subtleties from one language to the other, and also have mysterious omissions and additions added to the English translation which are not in the original German paper. The end result of this is: in the original German it is a different theory to what it has been translated to in the English.
