Abstract

An in-depth analysis is presented that succeeds in establishing what appears to be the true relationship of the relativistic Lorentz transformations to the relativistic transverse Doppler effect for electromagnetic energy propagating space. The purpose of the investigation was to determine the precise underlying nature of these two effects in order to clear away the confusion presently associated with their relationship to the constancy of light speed. In the process of successfully accomplishing these initial objectives a revised version of a previously introduced formula for the relativistic transverse Doppler effect is fully validated and a previously identified discrepancy in the special relativity formulas is confirmed along with other irregularities in the present treatment. The final outcome of this latest research is a new understanding of relativistic motion mechanics and energy propagation at the most fundamental levels of physics. This improved understanding suggests new approaches to problem solving regarding not only the kinetics of motion but also the treatment of time and space in future investigations.
