Euclidean Model of the Spacetime: Is the Reality Exactly as We Can Observe It?

The new model of Four dimensional Euclidean Reality (FER), which recently, more and more often, appears in publications, can significantly change the manner in which we interpret the reality surrounding us. According to the approach presented here, the reality we are able to observe differs from the ?true? reality. Living, in fact, in the Four dimensional Euclidean Reality, we get an impression that we are living in the four dimensional Lorentzian Reality. The impression is a consequence of the seemingly obvious assumption that the space and time distances that we are able to observe are the actual dimensions creating the reality. However, an assumption saying that the distances we measure during the observation of surrounding objects are describing the true dimension of the reality can be similar to the assumption, accepted through centuries, saying that the motions of heavenly bodies, observed by us on the firmament from the Earth, are the motions that the bodies are actually performing. Perhaps it is just the improper model of the reality that is the source of all the troubles, misunderstandings and complications of the models based on the Relativity Theory, which, although correctly describing a wide class of phenomena, did not lead to solutions which at the beginning of the XX-th century seemed to be just a step away, e.g. unification of the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions.

It should be noted that a few hundred years ago, the geocentric theory, though complicated, was describing motions of heavenly bodies in a more accurate way than the later heliocentric theory; however, the progress of science and, for instance, planning cosmic travels, would not be possible with the geocentric model.

The new, Euclidean model of reality allows us to answer the questions asked already in my other paper concerning SRT: is the slowing of time, in a frame of body in motion, actual slowing or it is only a result of mutual observation, and why registering of the shortening of the time requires the change of velocity of the observed body.

An additional argument for the necessity of more serious treatment of new models, alternative to the hitherto ones, would be the recently observed anomalies of motions of satellites which are impossible to explain with the help of the Relativity Theory.
