Einstein asserted that among the phenomena of nature The Speed of Light presents an Absolute Value and that in contrast to it space and time are Variable Values. Now light (with tiny variations), moves at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, whereby the measurements of distance and speed are based on the values of our conventional metre and our conventional second. It logically follows, therefore, that the latter two must also represent Absolute Values. The allegation that space and time are variable reveals itself therefore as a monumental error. Not only that, the fact that time and space are absolutes (on which the speed of light is based) means the restoration of the Newtonian concepts of Absolute Space and Absolute Time. Concepts which had previously been condemned by Einstein and Hawking as obsolete and outdated. - From the back cover
