Special Relativity Lite (Simplified Version)

Special Relativity Lite (Simplified Version) Ravil B. Kalmykov Ravil8@yandex.ru Abstract Draws attention to the fact of a methodological unreasonableness in direct comparisons of space-time parameters in two systems moving past one another with a relativistic velocity. Lorentz’s transformations are qualified in this connection as the subjective - illusory interrelations which do not have the appearance of an objective reality. Problems for an extraneous objective observer are exhibited. In total, known paradoxical absurdities are eliminated and special relativity acquires simplicity. Scales of critical attacks and remarks addressing the well-known theory of special relativity have recently acquired so imposing a scope that it is right to speak about an approaching crisis. Gradually to an increasing number of scientists, the numerous imperfections of this theory and the dead state of the scientific methodology introduced by it become apparent. Apparently, it is time to seriously upgrade STR and to subject it to corrective revision. With what is it necessary to begin? In a rebuke to writers on STR, the fact was repeatedly put that they were really mathematicians rather than physicists. In building the theory, the formula of Lorentz‘s transformations already prevailed, and they tried "to adjust" reality to them. **End Summary** Topics: special relativity]]> relativity of simultaneity]]> Einstein's postulates]]> Lorentz's transformations]]> Michelson's experience]]> Einstein's train]]> relativist]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> My Article in âThe General Science Journalâ My website âRing Determinism: Concepts Leading to a Synthesis of Philosophical Knowledgeâ

The Idea of God is not Henceforth Relevant

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Well educated, intellectual people, especially scientists at all times demonstrate considerably smaller adherence to religiosity than others. However, there are still believers of the idea of the God in science. If we exclude from their number those who feel a painful requirement for external protection and support by virtue of their poor living circumstances, there are those who come to idea of the God as a result of amazement at a world that has many unsolved problems. The surprising diversification of subjects and entities can be scientifically formulated in principle as it can sustain the quasi-stable condition and demonstrates development. Common sense suggests, that for an explanation of the observable diversification in life, it is necessary to admit that each separate subject, each organism, each social unit, and even each computer program should contain a special internal causative engine, a local determinism, which maintains an autonomous internal life in it. The conventional concept of determinism does not suppose the existence of such sources. This represents a scandalous weakness in the concept. **End Summary** Topics: God]]> creationism]]> determinism]]> religiosity]]> existence]]> causa sui]]> cause of itself]]> self-organization]]> self-maintenance]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> My Article in the The General Science Journal"Â: Ring Determinism: Solving the Problems of Scientific Materialism"Â ...

The physicist with a Hangover. Thought Experiment Illustrating Microcosmic Research

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Thought Experiment Illustrating Microcosmic Research (The physicist with a Hangover) I Assume that a certain physicist-experimenter has the task of determining the coordinates of a certain micro-particle on the X-axis at a determined instant, T1 with an arbitrary accuracy. Can this be accomplished? Generally speaking, in the act of measuring in the microcosm, there are determined limitations expressed by Heisenbergâ€'s uncertainty, or indeterminacy principle. These limitations touch some combinations of parameters of micro-particles which cannot be simultaneously measured with arbitrary accuracy. But in this case, it is only one act of measuring a simple parameter on only one axis. So even the most rigorous physicist will say, it is possible with no limitations. This job is quite feasible. So, our experimenter starts the matter. If in the assigned instant T1 he pushes a red button starting the measuring experiment, he will determine the coordinate of micro-particle X1 with arbitrary exactitude. What will it be? It is important to underscore, that there will not be a blurry spatial cloud of probability values, not the abstract mathematical matrix, not transformation of any mysterious function ?, but a concrete point on an abscissa axis. **End Summary** Topics: thought experiment]]> uncertainty principle]]> Heisenberg]]> quantum physics]]> microcosm]]> probability]]> indeterminacy principle]]> micro particle]]> arbitrary ac]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> My Article in the The General Science Journal"Â: Ring Determinism and Probabilism"Â ...

Sir Isaac Newton and the Three Laws of Determinism

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Sir Isaac Newton and the Three Laws of Determinism In the foreword to the first edition of the well-known "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" the great physicist, Sir Isaac Newton wrote, in particular, that it would be desirable to extend the harmonious principles of mechanics to other natural phenomena. Since then, there were some attempts to identify certain analogies to mechanics in a number of separate sciences. However in a broad sense, the wish of Newton remained unrealized. Today, with the advent of the concept Ring Determinism, we at last, have an opportunity to generalize the mechanics of Newton over a wide range of phenomena. Let's start with the First law of Newton, which states: In the absence of external influences, a material body remains in a condition of rest or continues in uniform and rectilinear movement through inertia. This law is also known as "the law of inertia". And what is inertia? As a matter of fact, it describes the ability of a body to preserve the initial parameters of its own motion. **End Summary** Topics: Newton]]> Newtonian]]> mechanics]]> determinism]]> inner life]]> causal]]> causality]]> own movement]]> ring determinism]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> My Article in The General Science Journal"Â ...

Relativity of Simultaneity Versus Other "Relativistic" Effects

Wed, 23 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0500

Relativity of Simultaneity Versus Other Relativistic Effects (A Scandal in the "relativistic" family) Ravil Kalmykov The requirement of Einstein's second postulate regarding constancy of the speed of light in all inertial reference frames is a singular deviation from the canons of classical mechanics. It creates a basic distortion in the habitual representation of space and time. Persons beginning their study of special relativity, should be ready to experience a surprising metamorphosis. However one of problems of science consists in the exceptional number of these novel theoretical representations. It is no secret that physicists-theorists are at times ready to bring down a huge cloud of new and absolutely mad hypotheses on heads of unsuspecting people. The problem facing the general scientific community in maintaining a healthy world outlook consists, whenever possible, in limiting the revolutionary aspirations of some of the excessively zealous authors with their novel and singular concepts, to a pragmatic and necessary minimum. In opinion of the author of this article, not all is right with special relativity. They have obviously overdone the scale of novelty and have run counter to the requirements of the principle of necessity. **End Summary** Topics: special relativity]]> relativity of simultaneity]]> Lorentz's transformations]]> Einstein's train]]> Michelson's experience]]> Relativistic thought experiment]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]>
