Contradiction between FitzGerald-Lorentz Length Contraction and Time Dilation: A GPS-Compatible Lorentz Transformation
Recent work has shown that the underlying assumptions of the Global Positioning System (GPS) are incompatible with a number of conclusions of conventional relativity theory, including Fitzgerald-Lorentz length contraction (FLC) and the supposed ambiguity in the relative rates of clocks in motion. The challenge is therefore to amend relativity theory so as to bring it into full consistency with ...
متن کاملA real Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction
Many condensed matter systems are such that their collective excitations at low energies can be described by fields satisfying equations of motion formally indistinguishable from those of relativistic field theory. The finite speed of propagation of the disturbances in the effective fields (in the simplest models, the speed of sound) plays here the role of the speed of light in fundamental phys...
متن کاملThe Myth of FitzGerald- Lorentz Length Contraction and the Reality of Einstein’s Velocity Transformation
The origin of the FitzGerald-Lorentz length contraction (FLC) hypothesis is discussed and attempts to verify it empirically are analyzed in detail. It is pointed out that the Lorentz transformation (LT) and the FLC not only rest on Einstein's two postulates of relativity, but also depend in a crucial way upon an additional assumption that was untested experimentally at the time. It is shown tha...
متن کاملThe origins of length contraction: I. The FitzGerald-Lorentz deformation hypothesis
One of the widespread confusions concerning the history of the 1887 MichelsonMorley experiment has to do with the initial explanation of this celebrated null result due independently to FitzGerald and Lorentz. In neither case was a strict, longitudinal length contraction hypothesis invoked, as is commonly supposed. Lorentz postulated, particularly in 1895, any one of a certain family of possibl...
متن کاملLorentz contraction and accelerated systems
The paper discusses the problem of the Lorentz contraction in accelerated systems, in the context of the special theory of relativity. Equal proper accelerations along different world lines are considered, showing the differences arising when the world lines correspond to physically connected or disconnected objects. In all cases the special theory of relativity proves to be completely self-con...
