Abstract

Hitherto all physical theories have considered bodies as mass-points without internal structure. These theories therefore have been impotent and incapable of considering how internal energy (mc²) / internal momentum (mc) of a body interacts with applied momentum. Or how the internal momentum functions in the gravitational process in relation to other bodies. Since these theories have not been able to capture and visualise the changes of internal momentum and the consequent phenomena that arise in these interactions, these have appeared bizarre to them and they have therefore been labeled as "relativistic phenomena".

The present paper has discerned for the first time, how the internal momentum of a body interacts with external constraints. This enables the explanation of all "relativistic phenomena" as arising due to changes of internal momentum of a body (or a particle). As a sampling of how the theory works, the author has thought it opportune to demonstrate how it can be applied to a problem that cuts across both gravitation and inertial motion (invading the exclusive territories of GRT and SRT) at one and the same time. This is done by showing how the changes of internal momentum, cause clock rates changes in GPS clocks and obtaining results of extreme accuracy. Along with it, the delay in the decay of a fast moving muon is also explained by the same principle that the so-called "relativistic phenomena" occur as a result of changes of internal momentum.
