Special Relativity With Apparent Simultaneity
An interpretation of special relativity is presented with alternative principles that treat an appearance of simultaneity as physically real. This implies instantaneous propagation of incoming light, but maintains light’s invariable propagation rate of c by using an alternative measure of speed. The relativistic Doppler effect is derived from physical principles based on the direct appearance o...
متن کاملThe physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity in Special Relativity
Based on two previous papers, the physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity as is presented in Einstein's Special Relativity paper of 1905 is reconsidered. We follow Einstein's argumentation to introduce a criterium of synchronization and for the same arguments we arrive at a different criterium for synchronization. From that we conclude that simultaneity is absolute. Introduction On...
متن کاملThe Question of Simultaneity in Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
In relativity, two simultaneous events at two different places are not simultaneous for observers in different Lorentz frames. In the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, two simultaneous measurements are taken at two different places. Would they still be simultaneous to observers in moving frames? It is a difficult question, but it is still possible to study this problem in the microscopic worl...
متن کاملProposal for a Satellite-borne Experiment to Test Relativity of Simultaneity in Special Relativity
An orbiting 'photon clock' is proposed to test directly the relativity of simultaneity of special relativity. This is done by comparison of the arrival times at a ground station of three microwave signals transmitted by two satellites following the same low Earth orbit. PACS 03.30.+p Einstein's original paper on special relativity (SR) [1] discussed three physical effects which changed complete...
متن کاملThe train / embankment thought experiment , Einstein ’ s second postulate of special relativity and relativity of simultaneity
The relativistic time dilatation effect and Einstein's second postulate of special relativity are used to analyse train/embankment thought expriments, both Einstein's original one, and an extension where observers on two trains moving at different speeds, as well as on the embankment, are considered. Whereas the relativistic analysis of Einstein's experiment shows, in contradiction to Einstein'...
