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.

I don't see what is careless about a phrase like
"Einstein's theory was plagiarised".
Although it comes from a malicious imbecile, it was very carefully
worded indeed.


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!

I'm sure you will find this particularly interesting:
| "Clocks are a problem because they are three dimensional
| machines which suffer a Lorentz contraction in only one
| dimension!!!
| So we need three theories as to why a pendulum clock should
| slow depending whether its pendulum swings perpendicular to
| the line of motion, parallel to it or if the line of motion
| is vertical. The historical accident of the incorrect
| experimental data luckily gave the correct effect on mass
| for calculating the effect on clocks."


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.

I'm sure that you can help him rephrase his tripe in publishable lingo.
Good luck.
