Abstract:
The study of the emission, propagation, and reflection of balls leads to the mechanical
ballistic law, which applies to both balls with and without mass. A natural extension of the ballistic law is to encompass massless entities such as light. According to the ballistic law, a ball or light emitted by a source inherits the velocity of the source in the absolute frame. The phenomenon described by the ballistic law works in the absolute frame which acts as the background of inertial frames and governs the kinematics of balls and light in each inertial frame. It explains why the light emitted, propagated, and reflected speed is the universal constant c in any inertial frame when the sources and mirrors are at rest, why the laws of physics have the same form in any inertial frame, and why no experiment in such a frame can prove its motion. By understanding the kinematics of light, we can understand the multiple issues rooted in Lorentz’s transformation and Einstein’s special relativity. For example, the theory of special relativity misapplies the symmetry observed in some phenomena to two inertial frames. ... Lorentz’s transformation has no length contractions to support this fundamental concept of special relativity. These unacceptable conclusions prove that the theory of special relativity is self-negating. © 2024 Physics Essays Publication.
