Is the Lorentz Factor Symmetry Key to Unlocking a 125-Year Mystery?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the Lorentz Factor's symmetry and its potential correlation with the Doppler Effect, particularly in the context of the Transverse Doppler Effect. The author claims to have discovered a solution that adheres to established mathematical principles and existing physical theories, without introducing new concepts. They express a desire to explore publishing and collaboration opportunities for their findings, which they believe could shed light on a significant aspect of physics that has remained unresolved for 125 years.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Lorentz Factor in special relativity
  • Familiarity with the Doppler Effect and its variations
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical equations used in physics
  • Awareness of peer review processes in scientific publishing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical foundations of the Lorentz Factor
  • Study the Transverse Doppler Effect in detail
  • Investigate historical perspectives on the Lorentz Factor, including Heaviside's contributions
  • Learn about the scientific publishing process and peer review standards
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in relativity, and anyone interested in the intersections of established physics theories and emerging ideas.

Hi All,

Recently, in my earlier thread, I asked about the symmetry of Lorentz Factor (where +V == -V). I had several pointers about how to handle this (Thank you all those). However, it seemed unanimous that there was no explanation beyond the equation itself (math or physical).

Also, I mentioned that my problem was trying to find a correlation between Doppler Effect and Lorentz Factor. Such correlation was also not obvious (except in Transverse Doppler Effect).

Now I think that I have found an answer to both the problems! It is done under the following conditions of simplicity and consistency (which adds to my confidence):
1. Only well known simple math equations used carefully.
2. Stays within current Physics/Math without any new proposals.
3. No conflict with any existing theory (except may be in least used boundaries).

I am not yet ready to discuss the details (which will jeopardize any publication possibility). Just looking at publishing/collaborating possibilities. I want to know how interesting/exciting such a finding will be? Consider that this has escaped for 125 years, yet fully stays within current science basics but will enlighten a very important Factor. I had to read as far back as Heaviside (1889) to overcome my skepticism of this result.

I understand that this will need to be verified/confirmed by peer review. But, I just want to know how interesting it will be to decide where to write (or if worth writing at all).

Thanks for any inputs.

PS: If it is not appropriate, I apologize. But don't know any better place to ask.

PF is not the place for this. We don't discuss personal theories, which is what yours is unless and until it gets published and peer reviewed and becomes part of mainstream science. Thread closed.
