Special Relativity Contains Massive Error

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the validity of Special Relativity (SR) and its implications regarding the behavior of photons in different reference frames. It is established that in the atomic frame, photons emitted from a stationary atom travel at the speed of light, c=299792458 meters per second. However, when analyzing the situation from the perspective of a photon, the concept of time and distance becomes undefined, leading to contradictions in the application of Galilean transformations. Ultimately, the consensus is that SR does not contain a massive error, as the principles governing inertial frames and the behavior of light are consistent and well-supported by experimental evidence.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Special Relativity principles
  • Familiarity with inertial and non-inertial reference frames
  • Knowledge of Lorentz transformations and time dilation
  • Basic grasp of the speed of light as a constant in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of Lorentz transformations in high-speed scenarios
  • Explore the concept of time dilation in different inertial frames
  • Investigate the experimental validations of Special Relativity, such as GPS technology
  • Learn about the differences between Galilean and Lorentz transformations
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, students of physics, and anyone interested in the foundational concepts of relativity and the behavior of light in various reference frames.

The relativity is not right in new physics time-space area

As the new area habit, the relativity isn't right in new time- space area. like time travel, exceed light speed particle. semi-dimension. no common reference frame. and so on. specially, as it is not right in reverse mind like the sun relative the light speed and some.
But it is right in limit theory and enable ref in future. the right and lose exist same. it is a physics permit area.
Sorry as the nature limit by humans.
