ABSTRACT: The
Theory of Relativity (TR) is now in conflict with a number of trustworthy
experimental observations, most of which discovered recently with the help of
the tightly synchronized clocks of the GPS. With base in these observations,
the present work appoints mistaken assumptions in the construction of the TR,
that beginned with a wrong interpretation of the null results of the Michelson
light anisotropy experiments. The assumptions of the TR about the nature of
space also become unfair within the scenario of the Higgs mechanism, underlying
the Standard Elementary Particle Model, according to which space is filled up
with real Higgs condensate (HC), responsible for giving mass to the elementary
particles. The HC is a real and very powerful quantum space (QS), stable up to 1015 degrees Kelvin that rules the inertial motion of matter and the propagation of
light. This QS is the locally ultimate reference for rest and for motions of
matter and propagates light at a well defined velocity c with respect to the QS and not with respect to all
inertial references. The presence of the HC cancels the reciprocal symmetry
between observers that in the TR is the source of many unresolved or badly
resolved paradoxes. It also eliminates the intrinsic isotropy of light with
respect to all possible inertial references. On the other hand, the recent
experimental observations show very clearly that this real QS is moving in the
ordinary three-dimensional space according to a Keplerian velocity field round
each astronomical body, consistently with the local main astronomical motions,
thereby creating the observed gravitational dynamics. This spacedynamics is the
quintessence of the gravitational fields and implies that earth is very closely
resting with respect to the QS, which explains the null results of the
Michelson light anisotropy experiments. All the conventional tests of the TR
have been made with atoms or elementary particles at very high velocities
within the earth based laboratories. In reality these experiments do not test
the assumptions of the TR, but simply show the effect of motion with respect to
the local QS. The equations of the TR describe well the corrections of time,
mass, energy etc., however in these expressions the relative velocity must be
replaced by the velocity with respect to the local QS. This spacedynamics has
been shown in References [4]

to correctly create the observed gravitational dynamics on earth and in
the solar system as well as the galactic gravitational dynamics without the
need of dark matter. This theory also correctly accounts for all the
experimentally confirmed effects, caused by the gravitational fields on the
propagation of light and the rate of clocks and moreover apoints the physical
mechanism accelerating the expansion of the universe.
