Special Relativity With Apparent Simultaneity
An interpretation of special relativity is presented with alternative principles that treat an appearance of simultaneity as physically real. This implies instantaneous propagation of incoming light, but maintains light’s invariable propagation rate of c by using an alternative measure of speed. The relativistic Doppler effect is derived from physical principles based on the direct appearance o...
متن کاملAbsolute Simultaneity and Invariant Lengths: Special Relativity without Light Signals or Synchronised Clocks
It is demonstrated that the measured spatial separation of two objects, at rest in some inertial frame, is invariant under space-time transformations. This result holds in both Galilean and Special Relativity. A corollary is that there are no 'length contraction' or associated 'relativity of simultaneity' effects in the latter theory. A thought experiment employing four unsynchronised clocks an...
متن کامل2 00 6 Absolute simultaneity : Special relativity without light signals or synchronised clocks
Using only the reciprocity postulate, it is demonstrated that the spatial separation of two objects, at rest in some inertial frame, is invariant. This result holds in both Galilean and special relativity. A corollary is that there are no 'length contraction' or associated 'relativity of simultaneity' effects in the latter theory. A thought experiment employing four unsynchronised clocks and a ...
متن کاملThe physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity in Special Relativity
Based on two previous papers, the physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity as is presented in Einstein's Special Relativity paper of 1905 is reconsidered. We follow Einstein's argumentation to introduce a criterium of synchronization and for the same arguments we arrive at a different criterium for synchronization. From that we conclude that simultaneity is absolute. Introduction On...
متن کاملProposal for a Satellite-borne Experiment to Test Relativity of Simultaneity in Special Relativity
An orbiting 'photon clock' is proposed to test directly the relativity of simultaneity of special relativity. This is done by comparison of the arrival times at a ground station of three microwave signals transmitted by two satellites following the same low Earth orbit. PACS 03.30.+p Einstein's original paper on special relativity (SR) [1] discussed three physical effects which changed complete...
