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  Concepts which had previously been condemned by Einstein and Hawking as obsolete and outdated.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

Recently the intelligent reading public has voraciously devoured five million copies of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, and many have been dazzled by the near metaphysical explanations of the author - specifically his emphasis on space-time.  This latter concept was adopted by Einstein decades ago and is now perpetuated by Hawking.  Questioning it, Gerhard Kraus demonstrates that time and space are two entirely incompatible phenomena which cannot mix.  Kraus also criticises the role of mathematics in physics and the Big-Bang theory.

Much of what Gerhard Fraus writes will cause controversy among established physicists.  But it is often such serious reappraisals of accepted dogma which initiate progress in science.
