Could you please explain the physical mechanism behind this? If the equilibrium trajectory of the atoms becomes an ellipse rather than a circle, how do the massive atoms physically adjust to this new path? How fast can they do this "automatically"?

I don't use AI; I'm just from Belarus, so apologies for my English.

This is a fair point, and it highlights exactly the part I am struggling with. I completely agree that the final equilibrium state is stress-free. If the atoms magically and instantaneously adopt the new configuration, then indeed, no work is done, and there is no dissipation. But my question...

I fully accept your point: if we demand exact empirical equivalence with SR, there is no heating. My goal is not to build a new theory, but to explore the internal consistency of Lorentz's dynamical interpretation (LET). To be precise about the model I have in mind: I am not referring to a...

Thanks for the response. You are absolutely right that from an empirical standpoint, LET is just SR plus an undetectable ether frame. If we only look at the final equilibrium state, the kinematics are identical, and we won't see any differential compression. However, I want to dig specifically...

(This is not an attempt to promote or resuscitate the ether.) I am working through a conceptual exercise about the historical Lorentz ether theory (LET), and I would like to check my understanding of its internal logic. I am not proposing a new theory. I am trying to see whether a literal...
