Abstract:
Despite misconceptions within popular scientific thought, Einstein’s theories did not win out over Lorentz and his theories. The reverse, however, is true. An honest appraisal of Einstein’s Relativity shows us that it is Lorentz and not Einstein’s Special Relativity being used in GPS to manage the velocity-dependent clock slowing effects. However, Lorentz’s work is not without its flaws and new discoveries about the Sagnac effect call into question the very foundations of Lorentz’s length contraction hypothesis stemming from the Michelson-Morley experiment. This leaves us with a mystery that may be best solved by reexamining where Lorentz left on in his derivations of clock slowing.
