Electromagnetic Sources and Observers in Motion VI - New Motional Optics

摘要

Paper V is the first of two papers, given at this symposium, where the arguments for revising Einstein's relativity are discussed. In this paper VI, the new motional implications resulting from the theory revision are considered. Einstein's Special Relativity (SR) has a non causal ether-less aspect, based on no propagation medium (ether), predicting motional properties that have not been measured. It also has a medium based aspect that does predict measured properties. However this medium based aspect appear to be incomplete, it does not distinguish between source and observer motion, whose motional properties are clearly measureable. The revised theory extends the Lorentz transform to include these motions, which now completes the radiation process, removing ambiguities and paradoxes present in Einstein's SR. Worked examples demonstrate that the motional effects are generated by direct contact of individual source and observer motion with respect to the propagation medium, in direct opposition to Einstein's concept of relativity. The theory illustrates the use of an instantaneous source and observer event time transform and compares integrated times for arbitrary source and observer flight paths through the universe. The revised theory predicts that material time travel is fallacious (non causal), but space craft can travel at effective speeds greater than that of light, with actual speeds less than the speed of light in the medium.
