OverviewPrinciple of relativity (Galilei-Transformation)

Measurement of speed of light (or microwaves)

Medium for propagation = „Ether“ (fundamental frame of reference - Maxwell, Lorentz, Larmor, Ives, Marinov and many others)

Ether: Measurement of Michelson/Morley using interferometry 1881 wrong interpretation: W. Voigt (Göttingen) warns already in 1886

Einstein 1905: there is no ether, therefore light propagation is isotropic with respect to any inertial coordinate system: c = 299.792 km/s

Lorentz -Transformations (space and time are connected to each other)

Consequences: time dilation, length contraction, twin (clock) paradoxon, Cosmic Microwave Background, GPS, relativistic Doppler shift, etc.

Principle of relativity: two trains leave a railway station

Sun

EAST station WEST Earth (railway station) moves from west to east (at 462 m/s)

If all previous accelerations would be recorded a fundamental frame of reference could be defined!

z S y P x v x = v.t

A point P (f. e.: a train) moves at v in x- direction.

In its own coordinate system S‘ the point does not move.

Galilei – Transformationen

The point P (the train) moves at v in x- direction

In its coordinate system S’ the train does not move

Seen from the coordinate system S’ the system S moves at -v in the opposite (-x) direction (mechanical principle of relativity)

In both coordinate systems clocks tick at same rate (t = t‘)

Measurement of velocity v• Using light or radio waves (sound is too slow))

• Is there a medium for propagation of em. waves? Before Einstein (1905) everybody agreed: there is a stationary medium, the so-called „Ether“, in which light propagates isotropically at c = 299.792 km/s.

• Does the ether follow the earth‘s motion?

• Michelson und Morley built in 1982 an interferometer in order to detect an „etherwind“ on earth

J. P. Wesley (2005): phase velocities must be considered! The square root is wrong! Etherwind cannot be detected IN PRINCIPLE by this method even if one exists!

Woldemar Voigt (1887): Both beams travel at equal times!

Lorentz-Transformations: The Consequences

• Length contraction (Ehrenfest-Paradoxon)

• Time dilation (Clock- or Twin-Paradoxon, symmetry)

• Transverse Doppler Effect

• GPS (traffic guidance)

Length contraction

• Moving rods are shorter

• 1. question: a rotating disk should break (Paul Ehrenfest)

• 2. question: which rod contracts? (Car or road hole?)

Time dilation

• Moving clocks tick slower

• Moving twin ages slower Question: Which one of the two?????

• Contradictions disappear, if

a) Δt‘ = Δt (Galilei-Tr.) are used or b) absolute frame of reference is used

Transverse (relativistic) Doppler-shift is not observed, although the sensitivity of the apparatus is found to be sufficient. One measures:

Consequences

• Relativistic (transverse) Doppler shift and, hence, time dilation does not exist

• The Lorentz-Transformations are not ap-plicable, special relativity has been refuted

• A simple experiment is missing which all physicists can reproduce and understand

Further falsifications • Penzias und Wilson observed already in 1964 an

absolute frame of reference, the so-called Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (our solar sys-tem moves at 360 km/s towards LEO)

• Speed of light is isotropic and equal to c only in the CMB, according to Arno Penzias. The CMB coincides with the center of all masses in our universe. That has been ignored up to date!

• The „simple“ experiment is still missing, for ex.: The measurement of the one-way velocity of light! Michelson has proposed such an experiment already in 1887!
