Have we a similar assertion valid in Einstein's 1905 Relativity (1905R)? Certainly, in his 1905 paper itself. He discussed frames "in which the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good". Those equations "hold good" only in what we now call inertial frames, so he was discussing the very same frames you yourself point out can be shown to be inertial. Einstein did not use the phrase "inertial frame". Today that's what we call these frames. Why you are so fixated on Einstein's 1905 paper is unclear. The theory we call "SR" today is the same as initially discussed in that paper, with considerable additional knowledge and understanding added, but no new physical insights [#]. Why don't you just stop lying Roberts Roberts? Have you forgotten the new physical insight that you plagiarized from the French hypnotist Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond? Einstein's second postulate is redundant, Jean- Marc Levy-Leblond discovered, the first postulate (the principle of relativity) is sufficient for building special relativity, and you Roberts Roberts, the Albert Einstein of our generation (Hawking is no longer etc.), you made exactly the same discovery years later: http://o.castera.free.fr/pdf/chronogeometrie.pdf Jean-Marc Levy- Leblond: "D'autre part, nous savons aujourd'hui que l'invariance de la vitesse de la lumiere est une consequence de la nullite de la masse du photon. Mais, empiriquement, cette masse, aussi faible soit son actuelle borne superieure experimentale, ne peut et ne pourra jamais etre consideree avec certitude comme rigoureusement nulle. Il se pourrait meme que de futures mesures mettent en evidence une masse infime, mais non-nulle, du photon ; la lumiere alors n'irait plus a la "vitesse de la lumiere", ou, plus precisement, la vitesse de la lumiere, desormais variable, ne s'identifierait plus a la vitesse limite invariante. Les procedures operationnelles mises en jeu par le "second postulat" deviendraient caduques ipso facto. La theorie elle- meme en serait-elle invalidee ? Heureusement, il n'en est rien ; mais, pour s'en assurer, il convient de la refonder sur des bases plus solides, et d'ailleurs plus economiques. En verite, le "premier postulat" suffit, a la condition de l'exploiter a fond." http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.ph...4dc146100e32c? Tom Roberts: "If it is ultimately discovered that the photon has a nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but both Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their domains of applicability would be reduced)."

Then why is Einstein zombie world unaware of Tom Roberts' breathtaking discovery: http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.ph...4dc146100e32c? Tom Roberts: "If it is ultimately discovered that the photon has a nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but both Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their domains of applicability would be reduced)." As far as I know, you also ignore postulates in the deduction of your special relativity so I suggest a paper should be published in both Science and Nature and this paper should be entitled: "A Special Relativity Deduced From Einstein's First Postulate Alone (Einstein's Second Postulate Is Redundant)" Authors: Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond, Tom Roberts, Eugene Shubert The only problem is that there are other University professors that seem to have made the same discovery: http://www.worldscibooks.com/physics/4114.html So I think Professor Jong-Ping Hsu (University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth) should also be one of the authors: "A Special Relativity Deduced From Einstein's First Postulate Alone (Einstein's Second Postulate Is Redundant)" Authors: Jean-Marc Levy-Leblond, Tom Roberts, Eugene Shubert, Jong- Ping Hsu Pentcho Valev |
