Announcement.

I have published a new paper on Special Relativity:

Abstract

We examine the two theories of Lorentz-Poincaré relativity and Einstein's
special relativity. One a causal theory based on Maxwell's Equations, the
other pure mathematics derived from a philosophical assumption. The
historical roots of special relativity are examined and evidence given to
suggest that Einstein's theory was plagiarised from the work of Lorentz
Poincaré and others. Based on the ideas of Lorentz and Poincaré, we
develop the theory with full mathematical rigor from Maxwell's equations
through contraction in length, increase in mass, effect on clock rate and
clock synchronisation errors to derive the Lorentz transforms from the
stationary to a moving systems. We show that Poincaré's group theory
analysis does not yield a group,

I suspect that that is just a matter of definitions. Better to rephrase such
overly bold statements (incl. the crude statment above that Einstein's
theory "was plagiarised") if you want to have a chance of publishing it.
When making accusations, careful phrasing is essential.

but then prove that the use of the Lorentz transforms is valid between any
two moving systems. We examine the differences between these two theories
and highlight the flaws in Einstein's theory. Our understanding of the
nature of magnetic fields, the nature of the background and the
calculation of kinetic energy are discussed.

In previous postings to this group, I have argued that Einstein's Special
Theory of Relativity was flawed.

I recant.

In part!

Good. I'll have a look at it, it looks interesting!

The equations are correct, the derivation of them a fudge.

The only problem is that the correct derivation is 50 times more
difficult.

Again, almost certainly calling the derivation a "fudge" is overly bold,
factually incorrect, and an obstacle to publication.
