    "What historians of science will find is that Einstein essentially arrived at a valid formalism from a wrong assumption.
    Einstein wrongly believed that you cannot postulate the existence of a preferred frame-of-reference and at the same time postulate a constant speed of light for all observers." CR

 

1.  Abstract & Link

Abstract:   Several loopholes in the logic structure of Einstein’s special relativity (ESR) are detailed. The exploitation of the loopholes leads to what is being called Extended relativity (also referred to as DSSU* Extended relativity). The Extended Lorentz transformations are presented; as well as the Extended relativity equations for time, length, momentum, mass, and kinetic energy. The optical interferometer experiments of Michelson & Morley and of Miller are analyzed and discussed. The significance of the difference between the vacuum-mode and gas-mode interferometer experiments is emphasized. While one experiment mode is consistent with a key hypothesis of Einstein; the other mode exposes a serious flaw. The repeated discovery of light-speed anisotropy, also referred to as the detection of absolute motion, exposes the inadequacy and incompleteness of the Einstein postulates. Essentially, the present Paper charts a course by which relativity theory can be made more inclusive and conform to the existence and detectability of ‘absolute’ motion.

* DSSU is the acronym for Dynamic Steady State Universe. It is a model based on the premise that all things are processes.

Keywords: Special relativity; DSSU extended relativity; relative motion; absolute motion; preferred frame; aether space; Lorentz transformation; lightspeed anisotropy; Dynamic Steady State Universe.
 

Extrait:  Deux échappatoires dans la structure logique de la relativité spéciale d'Einstein (ESR) sont détaillées.  L'exploitation des échappatoires mène à ce qui s'appelle la relativité Prolongée (également désignée sous le nom de la relativité-prolongée de DSSU*).  Les transformations prolongées de Lorentz sont présentées; aussi bien que les équations de la relativité prolongée pendant le temps, la longueur, le moment, la masse, et l'énergie cinétique.  Les expériences optiques d'interféromètre de Michelson & Morley et de Miller sont analysées et discutées. La signification de la différence entre le mode-vide et le mode-gaz des expériences d'interféromètre est soulignée. Tandis qu'un mode d'expérience est compatible avec une hypothèse principale d'Einstein; l'autre mode expose un défaut sérieux. La découverte répétée de l'anisotropie de lumière-vitesse, également désignée sous le nom de la détection du mouvement absolu, expose l'insuffisance et l'imperfection des postulats d'Einstein.  Essentiellement, le papier présent dresse un cours par lequel la théorie de la relativité peut être rendue plus incluse et conforme à l'existence et à la détectabilité du mouvement 'absolu`.

* DSSU est l'acronyme pour l'univers équilibré dynamique. C'est un modèle basé sur l’idée que toutes les choses sont des processus.

"Let me congratulate you for yet another outstanding paper. 'Loopholes' is a winner. I read it through last night before heading off to sleep and though the hour was late it kept me awake for some time after because it was so thoughtfully and beautifully rendered.  It's no easy task to take on Einstein's [oversight] but you do this without destroying Relativity Theory --you simply extend Special Relativity by proving the DSSU aether flow as being absolute and dynamic ... in this process of extending Special Relativity you are laying the groundwork for your next paper.  I love how you went about developing the powerful irrefutable Michelson-Morley, Miller, and Bradley evidence.  You didn't miss a beat either ---by extending the Lorentz transformations to back this up and strengthen your case. Your figure illustrations, comparative tables, and flowcharts, bolster your text and thankfully were easy to understand. The material you covered on 'length contraction', 'speed of light relative to aether flow and velocity measurements' are nicely presented.  As tough as math is for me I came away from reading this paper both enlightened and enthused and gained a new appreciation for equations regardless of being unable to handle the unfamiliar symbol nomenclature and algebra. I believe having recently read Mario Livio's book on Symmetry[1] helped me to appreciate and trust the symmetry that your back-up equations reveal. I will read and study this paper again and again ... "

3.  Review with Author's Response
--The Meaningful Question

One professional reviewer believes that a proper analysis of the air-mode Michelson-interferometer experiment should predict a null result (i.e., no fringe shift) and kindly suggests a way to do the analysis to achieve a null prediction.

The reviewer, however, completely overlooks the fact that the actual experiments give positive results (i.e., measurable fringe shifts)!

If an experiment gives positive results —as the Miller experiments consistently produced— then you would certainly want your theory to predict positive results. Yet the reviewer would like to see a negative (null) prediction!! ... What can I possibly say?

Anyway, here are the reviewer's comments followed by my (slightly expanded) response.

Reviewer (A) item 17: ... I believe that the reason DSSU [theory] predicts a non-null result is that the speed of light in the gas analyzed in the present paper does not take into account the fact that the gas is moving with respect to the aether. I believe that once the latter effect is included, a null prediction will be obtained.
(I believe this is how Lorentz agrees with Einstein on such a test, but I haven’t worked out the details myself.) —per 2010 August review

 
Author’s response:
The speed of the air, with respect to aether, should not be of any concern. (Keep in mind, Lorentz’s aether can be ignored since it was supposedly undetectable; Einstein, of course, did not use an aether.)  Why should there be any concern as to the speed of the air?—after all, the air is the same in both arms of the interferometer apparatus. The real question should be, why is the speed of light different for the two perpendicular directions of the apparatus arms? The speed of light is supposed to be, by postulate, the same in all directions —and it should not matter in the least whether one takes measurements in vacuum or in air. The air in and around the apparatus is NOT moving —it is isotropic. The meaningful question is, why is the speed of light not isotropic in an isotropic medium?

The Lorentz theory and the ESR theory struggle to find an answer. It is a simple question; it deserves a straight forward answer. None has been proffered.

But, aside from the observation of basic anisotropy, there is a far more devastating issue here. The real concern —the one that checkmates conventional relativity— should be with the fact that, regardless of the experimental method, the direction of maximum anisotropy (the direction of absolute motion or, the same thing, the direction of aether flow) is found to be remarkably consistent. The direction is always toward the same region of the celestial sphere!

As a point of interest: It is the fact that the relativity purists, many years ago, in the years following 1933, failed to acknowledge the checkmate situation that allowed the game to continue. The strategy was, since they couldn’t deal with the evidence coming from Dayton Miller’s experiments, they simply dismissed it and ignored it ; and, oh yes, derision of person and ideas was part of the strategy. Even science writer Martin Gardner, in at least one of his books, participated in ridiculing Miller and his work. But the evidence was there; and the game dragged on. It dragged into a new century.

In the year 2002, with the discovery of the causal mechanism of gravity, the application of a new physics, and other developments, the checkmate argument was back —and for this round it was back in full strength.

The relativity purists are now probably fewer in number (or at least in proportion) but they seem not to have changed their game plan. And, predictably, they still don’t have a meaningful answer.

The Einstein theory (as well as the Lorentz theory) is unable to say why the speed of light is not isotropic in an isotropic medium. Within Einstein’s special relativity the question remains: Why is the speed of light different in two different directions?

What about the supporting evidence? Do other experiments, in addition to Miller’s, agree with the DSSU analysis?

As pointed out in the Manuscript: The value of 360 km/s that DSSU theory predicts from the Miller data is within 13.8% of the modern experimental value of 418 km/s obtained by Australian physicist Reginald T. Cahill in 2006. The method employed a combination coaxial RF cable and an optical fiber. Significantly, it was not an interferometer experiment.

The DSSU analysis [in the present Paper] is also supported by the findings of the Roland DeWitte experiment conducted in Brussels, in 1991. The DeWitte coaxial cable experiment (a 1st-order-effect device) using atomic clocks revealed a speed of absolute motion of approximately 400 km/s.

That the DeWitte and the Cahill experiments are not Michelson interferometers is highly significant.

“That these very different experiments [Miller’s interferometer and DeWitte’s atomic clocks] show the same speed and RA of absolute motion is one of the most startling discoveries of the twentieth century.” —R. T. Cahill, The Michelson and Morley 1887 Experiment and the Discovery of Absolute Motion (Progress in Physics Vol. 3, 2005) p29

 

Incidentally, the Michelson-and-Morley velocities, in 1887, were lower than Miller's primarily because the geographical latitude of Cleveland was less favorable than that of Mt Wilson (the site of Miller’s experiments).
