Lorentz transform

[John-Erik Persson]

The Lorentz transform states that transverse ether wind reduces light speed according to the Lorentz factor.

In conflict with the wave model stating that an ether wind inside the wave front is irrelevant. So, LORENTZ WAS WRONG IN 1887.

The erratic Lorentz transform

Background

The Lorentz transform was introduced by Lorentz in 1887, and contained the so-called Lorentz factor describing an increase in the time for propagation of light due to an ether wind, v, blowing in transverse direction in relation to light propagation. This Lorentz factor is     1√(1-v2c2)     and this factor would be correct if light could be regarded as composed of particles, and this seems to be Lorentz’ opinion.

Lorentz mistake

Lorentz probably did not know that light is a wave motion. So, we have to use the wave model to correct him and this model states that an ether wind – transverse to light propagation and blowing inside the wave fronts – cannot tilt the same wave fronts. Therefore, wave front orientation and light speed, c, transverse to wave front are both unchanged. So, Lorentz seems to have used the wrong model for light, and the Lorentz factor is an illusion caused by this error.

The theory of special relativity

Special relativity is based on the Lorentz transform. A fact that Einstein tried to hide by introducing an alternative interpretation. Therefore, the theory of special relativity is also an illusion.

Michelson protested against the erratic Lorents transform. The only result was that he got a nervous breakdown.

Conclusions

• Give up the Lorentz transform (138 years old)

• Give up the special relativity by Einstein

• When suspecting an error – always go back in time as long as possible

[John-Erik Persson]

THE LORENTZ transform has been in conflict with the wave model since 1887.

Tell me what you think about this important question.

[John-Erik Persson]

In 1887 Lorentz stated in his transform that transverse ether wind could delay light transformation with a factor that was called the Lorentz factor. This idea had been true if light could be regarded as moving particles. But light is a wave motion, so ether wind inside the wave front is irrelevant. This means that Lorentz was wrong and the objection by Michelson was correct. Unfortunately, Lorentz error was accepted and Michelson had a nervous breakdown. So, the  Lorentz transforms have been in error since 1887. 

It is about time now to correct this mistake.
