This is an interesting thread -- with an interesting twist.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I published a book in 1976 [ modestly :-) ] entitled Relativity Beyond
|
||
|
|
Einstein that contained my Dual Velocity Theory of Relativity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In it I maintained that a better relativity theory could be had by
|
||
|
|
generalizing Newtonian mechanics (I termed it "creating a bridge between NM
|
||
|
|
and relativistic mechanics").
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Actually, in the beginning, I thought I was going to come up with something
|
||
|
|
very different than Einstein's SR. As things went along I began to see that I
|
||
|
|
was developing a parallel theory. Certain reviewers were telling me that I was
|
||
|
|
saying the same thing in a different way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But when I finished there were certain differences. For example, in SR we have
|
||
|
|
the concept of "relativistic mass" that creates quite a bit of controversy and
|
||
|
|
"un-understanding" -- or *mis*understanding if you please, to wit:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Momentum is given as P = gamma m, which is often written
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mv
|
||
|
|
P = ----
|
||
|
|
R
|
||
|
|
(R = Lorentz transformation)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is always assumed that R modifies m, creating the unexplainable -- often
|
||
|
|
causing problems -- 'relativistic mass'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an inherent part of my theory R modifies v (velocity), not m (mass). This
|
||
|
|
gives us an INVARIANT mass.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But what about the velocity? It is measured as v. The theory is based on
|
||
|
|
Newtonian velocites with infinity as a limit -- BUT there are *two* velocites,
|
||
|
|
the c+ velocity is foreshortened in observation and is measured as v.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a *mechanical* explanation for this phenomenon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The theory also reveals a differing Doppler effect (see posting this
|
||
|
|
newsgroup), a differing addition of velocities (also in this newsgroup) and a
|
||
|
|
differing rate for time dilation (and compression). The latter dissipates the
|
||
|
|
twins paradox.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I could go on -- but then I'd be long winded. Just wanted to get my 2 cents in
|
||
|
|
here.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making
|
||
|
|
them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new
|
||
|
|
generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Vanguard Note - Looking for more details on this theory. How intriguing,
|
||
|
|
that mass does not change, just the speed at which the mass is moving, kind of
|
||
|
|
a turbo boost once the Lorentz transformation kicks in. Could this be a key
|
||
|
|
to how to generate the 'wormholes' so prevalent in sci-fi media today?..Jerry
