Abstract
AbstractOur present view of the universe suggest that the set of mutually receding galaxies may provide a natural substratum for the propagation of light. It is shown that this assumption leads to a consistent derivation and interpretation of special relativity, along the lines evvisaged by Lorentz but requiring also the employment of Einstein's measurement definitions. The time-dilatation and Fitzgerald contraction effects emerge as intelligible consequences of this approach, and their interaction with an associated anisotropy effect produces the relativity of simultaneity, the reciprocity phenomenon and the results described by Einstein's principles; the approach provides a definitive resolution of the “clock paradox” within the framework of Special Relativity.
