Abstract

The purpose of the research in this article is the examination of the agreement of the hypothesis of the absolute reference system with the results of experiments that have been implemented in the past in order to confirm the special theory of relativity. To achieve this goal, we have chosen for discussing a theoretical topic of electromagnetism, that of electromagnetic mass calculation, and some experiments, some of which concern the transverse Doppler effect in a rotated system, two experiments that concern the kinetic energy measurement of accelerated electrons, one of which is the well known Bertozzis experiment, one experiment that concerns the propagation of Coulomb fields and one more experiment that concerns the effect of annihilation. The basic principles of the hypothesis of the absolute reference system, and the electromagnetic theory derived from these principles, are used to explain the experimental results. In these examples, the hypothesis of the absolute reference system is confirmed, since the experimental results agree with the predictions of this hypothesis. Also, in the discussion of calculation of electromagnetic mass is addressed the difficulty of solving this problem, when someone tries to solve this according to the energy-mass relation of the theory of relativity.

Highlights

  • We have chosen for discussing a theoretical topic of electromagnetism, that of electromagnetic mass calculation, and some experiments, some of which concern the transverse Doppler effect in a rotated system, two experiments that concern the kinetic energy measurement of accelerated electrons, one of which is the well known Bertozzis experiment, one experiment that concerns the propagation of Coulomb fields and one more experiment that concerns the effect of annihilation

  • In all the experiments carried out in order to examine the agreement of the special theory of relativity with the corresponding experimental results, the theoretical predictions that are commented on in relation to this agreement are those of the theory of relativity and the Newtonian physics

  • The previous comparison, concerns in this case the predictions of the special theory of relativity in comparison with the predictions of the hypothesis of the absolute reference system, regarding these experimental results. It was deemed appropriate in this article to first consider a theoretical issue, that of the problem of incompatibility of the electromagnetic mass with the relation E = mc2 of the special theory of relativity, because this incompatibility is eliminated by applying the principles of hypothesis of the absolute reference system for the electromagnetic interactions

Summary

Introduction

In all the experiments carried out in order to examine the agreement of the special theory of relativity with the corresponding experimental results, the theoretical predictions that are commented on in relation to this agreement are those of the theory of relativity and the Newtonian physics. It was deemed appropriate in this article to first consider a theoretical issue, that of the problem of incompatibility of the electromagnetic mass with the relation E = mc of the special theory of relativity, because this incompatibility is eliminated by applying the principles of hypothesis of the absolute reference system for the electromagnetic interactions This is a much-discussed problem, but we will refer to the relevant analysis of this issue by Feynman, as it is examined in [1], and in this analysis are presented the efforts to solve this problem. We will provide answers to unresolved, by the modern physics theory, issues
