Abstract:
“Lorentz, Fitzgerald and Einstein's Transformations of the Special Theory
of Relativity (STR), are responsible for most of the controversy and confusion
surrounding the changes that affect the physical units of measure when a frame is at a
state of relative motion. It is intended in this paper to clarify some aspects of the
involved problems by discussing the various alternative possibilities that can be caused
by real physical changes in the characteristics of matter as well as the behaviour and
accuracy of clocks and measuring rods when set in relative motion. The potential rest
energy of a body could thus be expressed in terms of mass, frequency and wavelength
of radiation: E=m(fλ)^2. It is further suggested that the duration of a clock's tick once
referenced to any preferred frame (e.g Earth), can be taken through synchronization
as a “universal” reference unit for common duration in order for our physical
calculations to be consistent on co-moving inertial relative frames. Only the remaining
parameters of length and mass which are more difficult to replicate, remain variable
or else can be transformed. More logic and common sense reasoning is relied upon
here than concealing the real physical issues with the elegance of geometrical and
mathematical covers or that of introducing strange concepts such as unexplained time
dilation and length contraction to resolve the issue.”
