Relativity Theory: Alternative or Fiasco?
Year: 1992
Keywords: relativity theory, Lorentz transformation, Galilean transformation, unequally privileged systems
The unsurmountable obstacles of relativity theory are:
- its derivation requires three, not two postulates
- it can be confirmed by experiment only to the extend of 2/3
- the third, arbitrary postulate introduces local time into the reference frame
- the alternative of the Lorentz transformation is not the Galilean transformation, but a transformation among unequally privileged systems.
