description: The authors reopen an important question. 'How does light work?' 100 years ago, Einstein published his famous article on light. Despite being found incompatible with other theories, it has largely been accepted by the scientific community and given impetus to much that is useful in our understanding of the universe. Was Einstein right however, in saying that a medium in space to carry light could be ignored without consequences? Most people are not able either to understand or challenge his assumptions, yet, with some simple maths the authors make a strong case to return to absolutes in space and time and demonstrate that Einstein may have made some serious errors. They therefore propose bypassing relativity theory without losing its valid results and offer a logical alternative that restores meaning to time, length, speed of light, and size and age of the universe. Francis Pym, as a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, won an important Architectural Competition and other awards, having qualified at the Architectural Association, London. Clifford Denton studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and obtained his Doctorate at the University of Oxford. gifted children in mathematics.
