"Review of ‘Disruptive’—The Demise of Relativity" is a book review by Glenn Borchardt published on 13 April 2016 on Beyond Mainstream.
Borchardt distinguishes his own objection to relativity — that Einstein violated The Ten Assumptions of Science, above all in objectifying motion — from Steven Bryant's, which is mathematical. Bryant's charges, on Borchardt's account, include a failure to derive the relativistic hypercone correctly at the outset, and an improper mixing of types: a rule of computer science, Bryant's own field, forbids combining discrete and compound types in the way he argues Einstein's derivation does.
