Newtonian Relativity Theory - Part 1: The Case of Constant Relative Velocity

Abstract

Supporters of Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory (SR) interpret persistent violations of its predictions as tolerated anisotropies, whereas proponents often go back to Lorentz’s earlier ether theory or to other theories that assume the existence of an absolute frame of reference. Here I propose a theory that retains the relativity of all frames of reference, but removes Einstein’s long lived postulate that the speed of light is invariant. Using classical Newtonian analysis I develop a Newtonian Special Relativity Theory (NSR). Because the velocity of light is treated no different than other velocities, NSR derives results for the entire β = v/c range (- ∞ c) the relative time and distance decrease with β, approaching 0 as β → ∞. The relative density and energy increase with β, approaching ∞ as β → ∞ (4) For objects moving away from an observer’s internal frame with velocity satisfying β > 1, relative time, distance, density and energy become negative and increase with | β |, suggesting that bodies of mass moving away from an observer with β > 1, become antimatter with some form of dark energy. In all tested experimental results NSR outperformed SR. More importantly, it precisely predicts the finding of a recent neutrino OPERA experiment, which demonstrated that neutrino traveled with velocity that exceeded the velocity of light.
