Physics
Relativity Theory: Velocity Of Light, Gravitational Deflection, Time: Physics
Scientific paper
It is argued that Minkowski's implementation of distances is not unique. An alternative implementation is proposed. If Einstein's prescription for light speed measurements is applied to the new implementation, the special theory of relativity is recovered. Yet, the present model is based on a spacetime with a preferred frame of reference. A clock at rest with respect to the preferred frame is used for the parameterisation of events. The proper time of an object is taken as its fourth coordinate. Distances are measured according to the Euclidean metric. In the present approach mass is a constant of motion. A mass is ascribed to photons and neutrinos. Mechanics, gravitational dynamics and electrodynamics are reformulated in close correspondence with classical physics. The new gravitational dynamics leads to the correct predictions for the deflection of light and the precession of perihelia, while it is based on a flat spacetime. A new conservation law emerges from the new mechanics: the conservation of proper time momentum. It allows for a mechanical explanation for Compton scattering and pair annihilation. In the new electrodynamics the electric field is proportional to the proper time velocity. Intriguing consequences are discussed. The equation of motion for the proper time momentum turns out to be very powerful. In the classical limit it reduces to the classical law for the conservation of energy. The Bohr model for the atom is given a new explanation. As is discussed briefly, the present approach gives a new notion to matters as energy, the structure of spacetime, antiparticles and the arrow of time. In fact, the contents of the present paper will have extreme implications for the foundations of physics in general.
