Ricardo Carezani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ricardo Libertario Carezani (b. April 11, 1921 in Córdoba, Argentina), is an Argentine physicist and creator of Autodynamics (AD).

Carezani supposedly was led to this theory after finding what he asserts to be a mistake in Lorentz and Einstein's work, although it is not known outside of autodynamics circles what this mistake might be. Apparently Carezani was not at ease with the "two observers in relative motion" postulate from which Special Relativity is derived, and sought to construct a new theory based on one observer observing a "phenomenon", which is not postulated its own coordinate system. His study of physics began as a 20-year-old in the early 1940s. From the outset he considered Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity to be ill-founded and set about his own critical analysis. By the age of 24 he had developed the foundations for Autodynamics, which is considered pseudoscience in mainstream physics.

According to a website maintained by the Society for the Advancement of Autodynamics (SAA), Carezani received his PhD in physics in Argentina. In 1951 he published a book on Autodynamics which according to the SAA, "was immediately black-listed by the National Atomic Energy Commission". Only 300 copies of the book were printed. In August, 1954 a newspaper, which the SAA claims was the Buenos Aires daily Crítica (which ceased publication in 1963 [1]), published an account of his theory [2]. The SAA also claims that the paper's publisher was told not to publish anything else by Dr. Carezani or face being shut down.

In 1979, Carezani moved to the United States and in 1982 conducted an accelerator experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The experiment gave a result consistent with mainstream physics and inconsistent with Carezani's expectations, but he responded with a modified theory of autodynamics which included an accelerator-specific effect.

Notable claims of Autodynamics include a derivation of Bohr's Atom equations without the use of wave equations, a new Compton Effect equation, and a mechanism for the system of gravity that claims to explain the perihelion advance for all bodies including binary stars, the apparent Pioneer slowdown, the Allais Anomaly, and Lunar Distancing. None of these claims have been accepted within mainstream science.

Dr. Carezani now lives and works in Long Beach, California.
