Abstract:
When people first hear about Ritz's Ballistic Theory (BTR) and the ballistic principle of adding the speed of light to the speed of its source (Fig. 1), usually they cannot believe that scientists, instead of this simple classical rule, use the absurd postulate of the special theory of relativity (SRT) in their calculations about the constancy of the speed of light. Therefore, without admitting the idea that physicists can be wrong, many begin to believe that everyday experience proves Einstein's right. Indeed, in our time of high technologies and precision devices, it would seem, one cannot miss the dependence of the speed of light on the movement of the source. So, it is believed that laser rangefinders, radar installations based on measuring the time of movement of electromagnetic signals, would give noticeable errors if the speed of light depended in the slightest degree on the movement of the source. Meanwhile, such devices work perfectly and give out distances to objects with great accuracy. Therefore, they believe that the theory of relativity is justified, and the ballistic theory is rejected by observations. As an example, they often cite the global navigation system (GPS and its domestic analogue, GLONASS), the modules for which are now easily embedded not only in portable navigators, but also in a mobile phone for a moderate fee.
