He refutes the second postulate, and exposes the contradiction of terms with the first postulate. Velocities are vectors that become speeds when isotropy is imposed. You may apply velocity concepts with anisotropy but the constancy of the speed of light demands isotropy. You cannot have both contradicting logic assumptions concurrently but you may make your choice. This means that relativistic calculations applying velocities must allow the variance of the speed of light as the condition of isotropy breaks. This means that the first postulate implying homogeneity and isotropy of the physical laws contradicts the usage of vectors as descriptors of coordinate systems' properties. I would really appreciate if you quoted parts of his paper and gave objective arguments against them. His paper is the best rational anti-relativity analysis I have seen since 1994 on the news-groups. It is not a secret that I hold similar ideas if not exactly the same ideas of the OP, and that is why I am really interested to read what you have against his rationality of reasoning. Best regards. :) EL |
