Why Einstein was correct, when he was, in his "Relativity" theorizing, was often because hidden facets of mathematics and of the definitions used in physics allowed the ideas to be usable, even if his reasonings were fallacious. In other words, often, he was lucky.

Einstein's Special Relativity, which title for it I am told he disliked, accurately describes how information is changed as the relative velocity of a transmitter/receiver pair approaches the velocity of the carrier wave. When the carrier wave velocity is taken to be the limiting relative velocity of any two independently moving objects, the Special Relativity view leads to nonsensical conclusions.

"SR" accurately predicts that "Mass" will increase when a moving object reaches the "speed of light." However, the prediction is that the mass will go to "Infinity." There are some problems with that. Infinity." in practice, simply means that our measurement device, or our logic, fails at this point. There are two other factors, of which Einstein seems to have been unaware, which come into play here to allow his model to accurately predict a change in the situation at the speed of light.

First, even mathematics does not allow empty space. There is always an implied "dot field" or "dot matrix," so it can be expected that what ever is considered to be moving would be moving within "something."

The other factor is also mathematical. When the process of "Integration " is carried out on the momentum equation, mass times velocity equals momentum, (m x v = P) , this process can be carried out with either the mass or the velocity considered as the variable. If velocity varies, we get the usual kinetic energy equation, KE=(mv^2)/2. However, if mass be considered as the variable, with velocity constant, we obtain another energy equation, (vm^2)/2. This latter does not appear in the literature and has apparently been ignored. These two equations may be interpreted as indicating that "velocity" can change to a limit, if it hits a limit, and the "accelerating situation" continues, then, "mass" will change.

Neither the "dot-matrix" aspect of mathematics, nor the alternative energy formulation, seems to appear in any of Einstein"s work, nor anywhere else in the readily available literature. If both the dot-matrix and the alternative energy expression that appear in the mathematics are reflected in reality, we see that any moving entity within the matrix will, itself, be a part of the
