On the Empirical Equivalence Between Special Relativity and Lorentz's Ether Theory
relativity Einstein Lorentz empirical equivalence empirical evidence non-empirical virtues
2016/6/12
In this paper I argue that the case of Einstein’s special relativity vs. Hendrik Lorentz’s ether theory can be decided in terms of empirical evidence, in spite of the predictive equivalence between th...
The purpose of this paper is to show that the Lorentz contraction of a rod is possible only if the rod’s world path is a real four-dimensional object. This result demonstrates that special relativity ...

Special Theory of Relativity Lorentz Trandformations

Efforts to demonstrate that the application of Lorentz transformations leads to the form Y' = [Y - (v/c)N] (at least to the leading orders of approximation), which has been elevated to the criterion f...
The Dependence of Lorentz Boost Generators on the Presence and Nature of Interactions

The long established but infrequently discussed dependence of Lorentz boost generators on the presence and nature of interactions is reviewed in this tutorial note. The last third of the note presents...
The origins of length contraction: I. The FitzGerald-Lorentz deformation
Relativity history of relativity Michelson-Morley experiment
2008/4/21
One of the widespread confusions concerning the history of the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment has to do with the initial explanation of this celebrated null result due independently to FitzGerald an...
In classical mechanics, the Galilean covariance and the principle of relativity are completely equivalent and hold for all possible dynamical processes. In relativistic physics, on the contrary, the s...
On the Lorentz Invariance of Maxwell's Equations
Special Theory of Relativity Maxwell's equations
2008/4/15
It is shown that, contrary to existing opinion, Maxwell's equations are not invariant in form under Lorentz transformations.
Null Cones in Lorentz-Covariant General Relativity
bimetric causality principle null cones
2008/4/15
The oft-neglected issue of the causal structure in the flat spacetime approach to Einstein's theory of gravity is considered. Consistency requires that the flat metric's null cone be respected, but th...
Michelson, FitzGerald and Lorentz: the origins of relativity revisited
relativity FitzGerald length contraction Bell
2008/4/15
It is argued that an unheralded moment marking the beginnings of relativity theory occurred in 1889, when G. F. FitzGerald, no
doubt with the puzzling 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment fresh in mind, ...
