Is SR an Ether Theory?
The answer is: YES.
Here's why:
1. SR and LET have the same math and thus the same predictions for all
experiments and observations.

2. LET is an ether theory and the math of LET is based on the assumptions
that the LET observer is in a state of absolute rest and that's why a LET
observer predicts all the clocks moving wrt him are running slow and all the
rods moving wrt him are contracted.

3. Similarly, an SR observer assumes that he is in a state of rest and all
the objects moving wrt him are doing the moving and thus all clocks moving
wrt him are running slow and all rods moving wrt him are contracted.

4. But SR also said that the speed of light is a universal constant in all
inertial frames. This seems to disagree with the ether concept. NOT so if we
define the speed of light as a constant math ratio in all inertial frames as
follows:
Light path length of ruler (299,792,458 m long physically)/the absolute time
(duration) content for a clock second co-moving with the ruler.

5. With the above definition for the speed of light the SR postulates can be
defined as follows:
(1). The laws of physics based on a clock second and a light-second to
measure length are the same for all observers in all inertial reference
frames.
(2). The speed of light in free space based on a clock second and a
light-second to measure length has the same mathematical ratio c in all
directions and all inertial frames.

The above new definition for the speed of light gives rise to a new theory
of relativity called Improved Relativity Theory (IRT). The postulates of IRT
are as follows:
1. The laws of physics based on a clock second and a light-second to measure
length are the same for all observers in all inertial reference frames.
2. The speed of light in free space based on a clock second and a
light-second to measure length has the same mathematical ratio c in all
directions and all inertial frames.
3. The laws of physics based on a defined absolute second and the physical
length of a measuring rod is different in different frames of reference.
4. The one-way speed of light in free space based on a defined absolute
second and the physical length of a measuring rod has a different
mathematical ratio for light speed in different inertial frames. The speed
of light based on a defined absolute second and the physical length of a
measuring rod is a maximum in the rest frame of the E-Matrix (ether).

IRT includes SRT as a subset. However, unlike SRT, the equations of IRT are
valid in all environments, including gravity. Also IRT is valid for use to
replace GRT in cosmology applications. IRT is described in a paper entitled
"Improved Relativity Theory" in the following website:

Since you are incapable of expressing an understanding of special
relativity, why would anyone assume you are getting LET right?

Even if you were, SR and LET are different theories.

Woah, you finally stopped saying SR assumes anything about absolute
rest. You learned something! It took nearly a decade of people
correcting your stupidity on USENET, but you finally learned
something. Maybe.

However, you are still unable to distinguish between the actual
postulates of relativity and the consequences of the postulates. What
you wrote down are the consequences.

That's cute, it really is.

How utterly convoluted, and pointless. You replaced the principle of
relativity with a pile of poo.

That reminds me, do you know what an inertial frame is yet?

Why is it you have not shown that your theory can accurately predict
the precession of perihelion in Mercury's orbit, Ken?

Plus I would *love* to see you attempt to show how your theory of
gravity [which oddly enough looks Newtonian] 'reduces' to general
relativity. Do you even know anything about general relativity?

It cannot be demonstrated that IRT makes any predictions. For example,
IRT can't be used to calculation of perihelion precession of Mercury.
And IRT can't be used to calculate the relativistic effects on satellite
clocks.

Hell, IRT can't even predict the correct time dilation for a clock with
relative velocity of 20,000 km/s with respect to an the observer.

Hey idiot runt....most of the equations of IRT are converted SR equations.
So if SR equations can make predictions why can't IRT also make predictions?
The perihelion precession of Mercury can be calculated using the IRT
corrdinate transform equations,

Fucking idiot runt. In IRT time dilation is as follows:
t' = t(Fab/Faa)
Fab/Faa=1/gamma
Therefore time dilation in IRT is:
t' = t/gamma.

So wormy go fuck yourself. You are a runt of the SRians.

You are a fucking idiot runt of the SRians. As I said in the paper, most of
the equations of IRT are converted SR equations and the conversion factor
are as follows:
c = lambda*Faa
v = lambda(Faa-Fab)
gamma = Fab/Faa
1/gamma = Faa/Fab
Faa=the measured frequency of a specific standard light source in A's frame
as measured by observer A.
Fab=the measured frequency of the same specific standard light source in B's
frame as measured by observer A.
Lambda for a specific standard light source is a universal constant. For
example: sodium has a universal wavelength (lambda) of 589 nm.

Hey idiot:
LET says the observer is in a state of absolute rest = SR says that the
observer is in a state of rest.
That's why both LET and SR assert that all the clocks moving wrt them are
running slow and all the rods moving wrt them are contracted.

You are a runt of the SRians:

He/she may assume so but no need to do so (in fact space shuttle astronauts
won't do so)

Appearances can be misleading. :-))

Two errors:
1. False logic: "If the math is the same, and the predictions are the
same, then the mechanisms must be the same." Nope.
2. SR and LET share a common *subset* of math, but the math of SR is
*much* more extensive than LET. This is part of what distinguishes SR
from LET. The fact that you are unfamiliar with that part of the
mathematical structure of SR and are familiar only with the tiny
subset that they have in common is your problem.

Error 3: SR simply does not make this assumption. The fact that you

But SR made no such definition, and prior to 1983 this wasn't even the
definition used when the speed of light was *measured* in a test of
SR.

One does not *redefine* postulates of a theory. If you do that, then
you have a different theory. Thus, for the *redefined* postulates
above, you are no longer talking about SR.

Seto--It must be embarrassing that IRT can't accurately predict the
perihelion precession of Mercury or the relativistic effects on satellite
clocks or even the time dilation for a clock with relative velocity of
20,000 km/s for an observer. It doesn't matter what you call me! IRT
can't predict anything! Sad!

In practice, that's not correct. Newtonian mechanics, Maxwell's theory, and
even SRT have all been redefined over time. What matters for a theory of
physics is the predictions - which are determined by the operational
definitions of its equations.

So the length of a meter is not redefined to be 1/299,792,458
light-second?????????? If it is then doesn't that mean that the second SR
postulate is also redefined????

SR doesn't and never has had anything to do with unit definitions,

ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES
By A. Einstein
June 30, 1905

It is known that Maxwell's electrodynamics--as usually
understood at the present time--when applied to moving
bodies, leads to asymmetries which do not appear to be
inherent in the phenomena.

Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action
of a magnet and a conductor. The observable phenomenon
here depends only on the relative motion of the conductor
and the magnet, whereas the customary view draws a sharp
distinction between the two cases in which either the one
or the other of these bodies is in motion. For if the
magnet is in motion and the conductor at rest, there
arises in the neighbourhood of the magnet an electric
field with a certain definite energy, producing a current
at the places where parts of the conductor are situated.

But if the magnet is stationary and the conductor in
motion, no electric field arises in the neighbourhood of
the magnet. In the conductor, however, we find an
electromotive force, to which in itself there is no
corresponding energy, but which gives rise--assuming
equality of relative motion in the two cases
discussed--to electric currents of the same path and
intensity as those produced by the electric forces in the
former case.

Examples of this sort, together with the unsuccessful
attempts to discover any motion of the earth relatively
to the "light medium," suggest that the phenomena of
electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no
properties corresponding to the idea of absolute rest.

They suggest rather that, as has already been shown to (1)
the first order of small quantities, the same laws of
electrodynamics and optics will be valid for all frames
of reference for which the equations of mechanics hold
good. We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which
will hereafter be called the ``Principle of Relativity'')
to the status of a postulate,

and also introduce another postulate, which is only (2)
apparently irreconcilable with the former, namely, that
light is always propagated in empty space with a definite
velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of
the emitting body.

These two postulates suffice for the attainment of a
simple and consistent theory of the electrodynamics of
moving bodies based on Maxwell's theory for stationary
bodies.

The introduction of a "luminiferous ether" will prove
to be superfluous inasmuch as the view here to be

Not as an assumption of SR, no.
SR was built completely without that assumption. And it was thoroughly
tested without that assumption.
Once those tests ended up being in complete agreement with SR, THEN
the meter was redefined to be 1/299792458 s.

> If it is then doesn't that mean that the second SR

Following 1983, *after* substantial testing of SR, then the meter was
redefined, and then the second postulate is true by definition. Just
keep in mind that SR was *thoroughly* tested BEFORE the redefinition.

If there should *ever* be evidence that SR is not valid because of a
mismatch of any prediction *other than* the invariance of the speed of
light (and there are plenty of those), then the redefinition of the
meter will be retracted. So far, there is no such evidence.

Hey idiot If I give you the following data on a relatively moving clock:

Fab=5.059*10^14 Hertz
Can you use SR to calculate the time dilation of that clock ?
The answer is NO.

SR's equations are derived from the starting postulates - your

already did and tack some crap onto it.

Why is it you haven't done ANYTHING with gravity, Ken? I am yet to see

Well, isn't that interesting. SR is an ether theory despite never

In fact, you seem to believe you understand SR better than other

Hey idiot....IRT is a theory of motion. The coordinate transform equations
can be used to determine the coordinates of any object at any time. So if
you determine the coordinates of the sun and Mercury at different time
intervals the precession of Mercury will be revealed. BTW why does IRT have
to reduce to GRT? when it is already a complete theory of motion?

LET also never implicitly referring to the ether. But both the SR observer
and the LET observer assume that they are in a state of rest. That's why
both observer sees all the clocks moving wrt them are running slow and all


the rods moving wrt them are contracted.

In real life this assumption of SR and LET is faulty. In real life no
observer is in a state of rest. This means that no observer is preferred and
therefore no observer can see ALL the clocks moving wrt him are running
slow. In real life he will see some of the clocks moving wrt him are running
slow and some of the clcoks moving wrt him are running fast.

Ken, did you see where I said "explicitly" ? LET *EXPLICITLY* assumes
an ether. SR assumes no such thing.

Furthermore, your assertion that an observer in SR assumes he is at
rest is wrong. Moving observers are trivial applications of the
theory.

Really?

The first 4 postulates of Hyperbolic and Elliptic geometry are the
same as the first 4 postulates of Euclidean geometry. Does that mean I
can tack on arbitrary shit to an equation from Euclidean geometry and
get a valid equation in Hyperbolic or Elliptic geometry?

You have not demonstrated that your equations are derivable from your
postulates. You have not shown the validity of your equations. You
have not shown anything, really.

So show your derivation of the precession of Mercury's perihelion. It
is a standard fixture in every relativity textbook I have ever seen,
so it should be easy for you. How about deriving Newtonian gravity?
Can you do that? How come you don't incorporate the equivalence
principle into your theory?

In a state of rest with respect to what?

Seto, the clock in the observer's inertial frame has no relative motion
with respect to the observer. It could be said that the observer's clock
is at rest WRT the observer.

States of rest are *strictly* observer dependent!

Because it is wrong for relativistic effects on satellite clocks in orbit
with semi major axis of 10 earth radii! Show us the calculation whereby
you came up with t'= 0.9933*t.

IRT can't accurately predict the perihelion precession of Mercury or the

relativistic effects on satellite clocks in arbitrary orbits or even the


time dilation for a clock with relative velocity of 20,000 km/s for an
observer.

I don't know where you get that idea. The concept of "rest" is
superfluous. Other objects have relative velocity to the observer.
In the observer's own frame the dr/dt = 0.

In relativity (and even Galilean relativity) there is no state of
absolute rest or motion. It's all relative.

But SR is based on the invariant one-way speed of light and no direct
one-way speed of light ever been performed. What this mean is that any test
that could potentially refute the claim of SR you SRians will refuse to do
it. You even redefine the meter to fit your theory.

The concept of rest is not superfluous in SR. Einstein said at the rest
frame of the observer or clock the clock runs at its normal rate. All the
other clock moving wrt the observer's clock are running slow. dr/dt = 0 is
self referencing. It is a stupid statement.

Hey fucking idiot do you think you can predict anything with SR without
measured relative velocity data??
With SR/GR you specified a velocity of 20000 km/sec and that along with the
previously measured gravitational potential at the final location of the
satellite and the mass of the earth you determine the time dilation factor.
With IRT I can specify a value for Fab for a standard light source in the
satellite and determine the time dilation factor using the IRT equation of
Fab/Faa to determine the time dilation factor.

A clock in the observers rest frame has relative velocity of zero with
respect to the observer, dr/dt = 0, so the relativistic gamma reduces
to unity.
http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/ProperTime.html

gamma = (1 - v^2/c^2)^-0.5

When v = 0, then gamma = 1

dTau = dT

No time dilation

Seto says "the size of the orbit of the satellite is irrelevant"!

Seto, does IRT alway need to measure the frequency of a light source to
make a prediction?

The 20000 km/sec was a separate problem/test, not the satellite's orbital
velocity.

Shall we start over?

IRT cannot:
A. predict the correct perihelion precession of Mercury

IRT cannot
B. predict the correct relativistic effects on a satellite clock

IRT cannot
C. predict the time dilation of A's clock measured by B, when their
relative velocity is 20000 km/s.

Seto cannot demonstrate that IRT can do any of these things!

You don't seem to understand the "relativity" part of special
relativity, Ken. Just because an observer can look at himself and say
"I'm not moving!" that does not mean there is an ether.

Do you know your same "argument" applies to every kinematic theory
under the sun? By your "argument" GR requires an ether, as does
classical mechanics, as does your theory.

You can't use Einstein's derivation because the theories are D I F F E

no justification whatsoever for all your Faa crap.

Yes, since the SR postulates [albiet bastardized] are in there I
expect to see SR, but that doesn't mean you can tack on whatever you
want to an SR equation and get an "IRT" equation.

BTW, you forgot to mark or reply to the comment that you snipped so
I'll put it back:

So show your derivation of the precession of Mercury's perihelion. It
is a standard fixture in every relativity textbook I have ever seen,

Can you do that? How come you don't incorporate the equivalence

That is incorrect. The one-way test of light *has* been performed,
just not in the manner you think it should be. It was precisely
because of these tests that the meter was redefined LATER.

Historically there is a body of peer reviewed OWLS experiments
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/SR/experiments.html

3.2 One-Way Tests of Light-Speed Isotropy
Note that while these experiments clearly use a one-way light path
and find isotropy, they are inherently unable to rule out a large
class of theories in which the one-way speed of light is
anisotropic.These theories share the property that the round-trip
speed of light is isotropic in any inertial frame, but the one-way
speed is isotropic only in an ether frame. In all of these theories
the effects of slow clock transport exactly offset the effects of the
anisotropic one-way speed of light (in any inertial frame), and all
are experimentally indistinguishable from SR. All of these theories
predict null results for these experiments. See Test Theories above,
especially Zhang (in which these theories are called "Edwards
frames").

Cialdea, Lett. Nuovo Cimento 4 (1972), p821.
Uses two multi-mode lasers mounted on a rotating table to look for
variations in their interference pattern as the table is rotated.
Places an upper limit on any one-way anisotropy of 0.9 m/s.

Hey idiot these are one-way isotopy experiments. You can have one-way and
two-way isotropy but with different actual measured values.
The only way to confirm the invariant of one-way light speed is to do a
direct one-way measurement with two spatially separated and synchronized
clocks in the same inertial frame. The fact that you SRians refuse to do
such an experiment speaks volume.

Sam just posted a selection of such measurements. Certainly, this is
only a small portion of all the tests done. This hardly amounts to
"refusal" to do this experiment.

Then again, if you want something done right, do it yourself. Remind
us again, why YOU don't just determine this value experimentally, the
way YOU think it should be properly done You're a bright guy. If it
should have been easy for all the blockheads and Einstein worshippers
to do it, then it should be a piece o' cake for you, right? How hard
can it be? It's so easy, A CAVEMAN COULD DO IT (with apologies to
Geico). Then you can publish the results, and use them as vindication
of your IRT.

It has been explained to him also, many times, that his grant requests

Sure SR is a subset of IRT...the IRT equations based v and c are exactly the
same as those for SR. The extended IRT equations based on Faa and Fab
includes the possibility that the observed clock can run at a faster rate
than the observer's clock. That's why IRT has two sets of equations for time
dilation and time expansion. Also it has two sets of coordinate transform
equations.

Yes it can. Use the IRT transform equations to determine the coordinates for
Mercury and the Sun at different time intervals. Plot these coordinates and
the precession of Mercury will be revealed.

Yes it can. From the Pound and Rebka experiment you establish the ratio of
Faa/Fab vs height. Using the IRT equations you establish the effect of
velocity on the ratio Fab/Faa. The relativistic effect on a satellite clock
is = (Faa/Fab) - (Fab/Faa).

Sure it can the time dilation factors are as follows:
Fba/Fbb
OR
Fbb/Fba
What this mean is that instead of measuring the relative velocity of A wrt B
to determine the time dilation factor you measure Fba.

It is irrelevant if you measure Fab for the satellite clock directly. You
can determine the time dilation factor from that measurement alone.

Unfortunately for you and your IRT you have demonstrated (repeatedly)

requirement that:

T*T^-1=I.

The point is: the observer is at rest wrt what? The claim of the observer is
at rest means that all the clocks moving wrt him are doing the moving and
that's why all the clocks moving wrt the observer are running slow. This
definitely suggest that the observer is declaring that he is in a preferred
frame.

NO when he says that he is not moving and he assigns the observed relative
motion to the observed clock then he is assuming that he is declaring that
his frame is preferred. The correct assumption is that the observer declares
that he is also moving and thus his clock rate can be faster or slower than
the observed clock.

Sorry it should be clarified as follows:

The ratio of (Fab_v/Faa_v) vs velocity.
The effect on a satellite clock = (Faa_h/Fab_h) - (Fab_v/Faa_v)

Why isn't this a surprise?

> Why is this a requirement?

For starters, the Lorentz transformations form a group (as proven by
Einstein and Poincare). There are 4 basic requirements of a group (by
definition). One of these requirements is the presence of an inverse
(T^-1) for every element in the group (T), and the inverse has to be
an element of the group.

To be correct, IRT MUST have the group property. But you haven't
proven this yet. In fact, it is the easiest way to show that IRT is
shit ("more politely expressed as "invalid")

Do you have reading comprehension problem? One set is the correct transform
from the unprimed frame to the primed frame. The other set is the correct
transform from the primed frame to the unprimed frame. The current inverse
transform is wrong. Why? Because it assumes that the unprimed clock is
always running faster than the primed clock.

But your explanation is based on the assumption that the observer's clock is
always running at a faster rate than the observed clock and the current
inverse transform is not always correct based on that assumption. In IRT
each observer has two sets of transforms. One set is the correct outward
transform from A (the observer) to B and the other set is the correct
inverse transform from B to A.

Again, you are not understanding the concept of "relativity".

No observer is a preferred observer in SR.

BTW: No clock ever runs faster than a resting clock in SR.

It means your argument is silly. SR isn't an aether theory. GR isn't
an aether theory. Classical mechanics isn't an aether theory.
