Deduction of Lorentz Transformation from the existence of absolute rest. Deduction of the speed of light in any frame of reference

备注：: 6 pages, 0 figures

英文摘要：

We begin by admitting the following: (i) there is a frame of reference where the speed of light is the same in any direction (that speed is c) (ii) the average speed of light on a two-way journey is c in every frame of reference. From this two premises we obtain an expression for the speed of light which implies the speed of light depends on the motion of the frame of reference. Also from this two premises solely we deduct Lorentz Transformation.

Is the Lorentz contraction inevitable in the special theory of relativity ?

We look afresh at the deduction of the "Lorentz contraction" of a "rod" from the Lorentz transformation equations of the special theory of relativity. We show that under special conditions, which include acceleration of the "rod", length "expansion" and "invariance" are possible, and thus these are purely kinematical phenomena. We then take a closer look at Einstein's two famous papers on the special theory of relativity and point out a flaw in his argument. It seems that it is possible to have the times of the clocks of two, and indeed all, inertial systems to agree with each other.

Lorentz Transformation as a 'Complementary Time-Dependent Coordinate Transformation'. The Physical Foundation of Einstein' Special Relativity

We here deduce Lorentz transformation (LT) as a member of a class of time-dependent coordinate transformations, complementary to those already known as spatial translations and rotations. This exercise validates the principle of physical determination of equations within special relativity theory (SRT), in accordance with the derivation of the LT in Einstein's original paper on relativity. This validation is possible because our LT deduction also discloses the real physics warranting Einstein's manipulations of several equations in that paper, thus proving the correctness of his derivation of …

Consequences for special relativity theory of restoring Einstein's neglected additive constants in the Lorentz Transformation

Evaluation of the additive constants in the space-time Lorentz transformation equations required, according to Einstein, to correctly describe synchronised clocks at different spatial locations, reveals the spurious and unphysical nature of the 'relativity of simultaneity' and 'length contraction' effects of conventional special relativity. Unlike time dilation, there is no experimental evidence for these putative effects. Only a universal (position independent) time dilation effect for different inertial frames distinguishes special from Galilean relativity.

Lorentz Symmetry Violation and Very High-Energy Cross Sections

We discuss the implications of a recently proposed pattern of Lorentz symmetry violation on very high-energy cross sections. As a consequence of the breaking of local Lorentz invariance by the introduction of a fundamental length, $a$ , the kinematics is modified and the properties of final states are fundamentally different in collider-like (two incoming particles with equal, opposite momenta with respect to the vacuum rest frame) and fixed-target (one of the incoming particles at rest with respect to the vacuum rest frame) situations. In the first case, the properties of the allowed final st…

Lorentz Invariance and Superluminal Particles

If textbook Lorentz invariance is actually a property of the equations describing a sector of matter above some critical distance scale, several sectors of matter with different critical speeds in vacuum can coexist and an absolute rest frame (the vacuum rest frame, possibly related to the local rest frame of the expanding Universe) may exist without contradicting the apparent Lorentz invariance felt by "ordinary" particles (particles with critical speed in vacuum equal to $c$ , the speed of light). Sectorial Lorentz invariance, reflected by the fact that all particles of a given dynamical sec…

A class of traveling-envelope solutions of free Schrödinger equation generated by Lorentz transformation

We develop a class of traveling-envelope solutions of Schrödinger equation for a free particle whose amplitude is moving with constant group velocity while keeping its shape undistorted. We show that solution with arbitrary finite group velocity is obtained by Lorentz boosting the solution with vanishing group velocity, if the quantum average energy $E$ and momentum $p$ are related to the rest-mass $m$ of the particle by Einstein formula $E^2/c^2-p^2=m^2c^2$. The wave function is spatially localized with finite-size support which is decreasing as the rest-mass and/or group velocity are increas…

Vacuum Structure, Lorentz Symmetry and Superluminal Particles

If textbook Lorentz invariance is actually a property of the equations describing a sector of the excitations of vacuum above some critical distance scale, several sectors of matter with different critical speeds in vacuum can coexist and an absolute rest frame (the vacuum rest frame) may exist without contradicting the apparent Lorentz invariance felt by "ordinary" particles (particles with critical speed in vacuum equal to $c$ , the speed of light). The sectorial Lorentz symmetry may be only a low-energy limit, in the same way as the relation $ω$ (frequency) = $c_s$ (speed of sound) $k$ (wav…

Translational invariance and the space-time Lorentz transformation with arbitrary spatial coordinates

Translational invariance requires that physical predictions are independent of the choice of spatial coordinate system used. The time dilatation effect of special relativity is shown to manifestly respect this invariance. Consideration of the space-time Lorentz transformation with arbitrary spatial coordinates shows that the spurious `length contraction' and `relativity of simultaneity' effects --the latter violating translational invariance-- result from the use of a different spatial coordinate system to describe each of two spatially separated clocks at rest in a common inertial frame

Generalizing the Lorentz transformations

In this paper we develop a framework allowing a natural extension of the Lorentz transformations. To begin, we show that by expanding conventional four-dimensional spacetime to eight-dimensions that a natural generalization is indeed obtained. We then find with these generalized coordinate transformations acting on Maxwell's equations that the electromagnetic field transformations are nevertheless unchanged. We find further, that if we assume the absence of magnetic monopoles, in accordance with Maxwell's theory, our generalized transformations are then restricted to be the conventional ones. …

Physics Opportunities Above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin Cutoff: Lorentz Symmetry Violation at the Planck Scale

Special relativity has been tested at low energy with great accuracy, but these results cannot be extrapolated to very high-energy phenomena: this new domain of physics may actually provide the key to the, yet unsettled, question of the ether and the absolute rest frame. Introducing a critical distance scale, a, below 10E-25 cm (the wavelength scale of the highest-energy observed cosmic rays) allows to consider models, compatible with standard tests of special relativity, where a small violation of Lorentz symmetry (a can, for instance, be the Planck length) leads to a deformed relativistic ki…
