Abstract
The purpose of this article is not to criticize the theory of relativity, but to try to understand why, despite more than a century of dominance in physics, it is constantly criticized by physicists. In this paper, a thorough analysis of A. Einstein's theory of relativity is carried out. It relies on philosophical, physical-mathematical, logical-historical methods of investigation. It is shown that in SRT there is an error in the physical interpretation of the mathematical formalism of the Lorentz transformation (epistemological error). Therefore, the interpretation of the SRT phenomena contains logical contradictions and paradoxes. It is also shown that a consistent interpretation can be given for the Lorentz transformation within the framework of classical space-time representations. It is established that the real speed of the relative motion of inertial reference frames in is greater than the speed entering the Lorentz transformation. A new explanation is offered for relativistic phenomena without violating logic and without paradoxes. The results are of great importance for the description of relativistic phenomena in physical theories, and also for applied disciplines, for example, for the theory of cyclic accelerators, etc.
Highlights
The idea of this article was born after careful reading of two recently published works [1] and [2]
In this article we are not going to criticize the fundamentals of the theory of relativity, we just want to understand why, despite the more than a century domination of this theory in physics, it will continue to be subjected to serious criticism from many physicists
More than 100 years have passed of the undivided dominance of the Special theory of relativity in physics
Summary
The idea of this article was born after careful reading of two recently published works [1] and [2]. Phenomenon, Essence “The essence is known through the phenomenon.” This old philosophical rule we must give concrete content. The information about the observed object should transfer some “information carrier” to the subject. A subject, observing the phenomena, tries to understand their essence. Essence is the content of the results of observation, which does not depend on the conditions of observation. To the characteristics of the essence can be attributed, for example, cutting a diamond. It does not depend on the conditions of observation. Projections of a cylinder on a plane are phenomena that the observer (or observers) are studying (measuring) These projections depend on the condition, i.e. from the orientation of the OO′-axis of the cylinder relative to the planes.
