- DERIVATION OF RELATIVISTIC ADDITION OF VELOCITIES BASED SOLELY ON
- MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS (12-26-92 part 5)
-
- As mentioned earlier, none of the 4 preceding parts are needed for
- this final part 5. This final part 5 is self-contained.
-
- The previous parts were given to show examples of forming new arith-
- metics (or algebras) from old arithmetics (or algebras). The advantage
- of doing this is that many of the desirable and time-tested properties
- of old arithmetics are preserved and slight modifications are introduced
- in forming the new arithmetics to serve our purposes.
-
- Let (R,+,.) be the usual arithmetic of the real numbers. As shown
- the usual addition is denoted by + and the usual multiplication is de-
- noted by . that, as usual we shall omit.
-
- We may create a new arithmetic (R,(+),.) preserving the old multi-
- plication but defining the new addition (+) in variety of ways.
-
- For example, we may define the new addition (+) by:
-
- x (+) y = y cos x + xy sin(x+3y) or x (+) y = x^y - y^x
-
- and preserve the old multiplication and thus obtain two new arithmetics.
-
- A simple example would be to define x (+) y as a linear combination:
-
- (32) x (+) y = x3 + y6 with multiplication as usual
-
- Then in the Arithmetic (32), we will have the following:
-
- 5 (+) 7 = 57, 1 (+) 1 = 9, 3(6 (+) 2) / (1 (+) 1) = 10
-
- Now, to derive the Relativistic addition of Velocities, solely based
- on the Michelson-Morley experimental results, we choose for our new
- addition (+) of velocities v and w, the following form:
-
- (33) v (+) w = vx + wy
-
- and we determine x and y in (33) in such a way as to satisfy the
- Michelson-Morley experimental results, i.e.,
-
- (34) c (+) w = c and -v (+) c = c
-
- where c is the velocity of Light and " -" is the old minus sign.
-
- Our aim is to determine x and y in (33) so that (34) is satisfied.
-
- To this end, we replace (34) in (33) and obtain
-
- (35) cx + wy = c and -vx + cy = c
-
- Solving the two equations given in (35) for x and y, we have:
-
- (36) x = (c^2-cw)/(c^2+vw) and y = (c^2+cv)/(c^2+vw)
-
- substituting x and y given in (36) into (33), we derive
-
- (37) v (+) w = (v + w) / (1 + vw/c^2)
-
- which is the formula for the Relativistic addition of velocities.
-
- I know the question !! Why did I choose the form (33) for the
- new addition ? My answer is that a "COMBINATION" of the form (33) is
- SIMPLE and the nature loves INGENIOUS SIMPLICITY. So, I think my choice
- of the form (33) is quite reasonable - just as Einstein's choice of his
- assumptions is accepted by many (not by all) as reasonable.
-
- I do not prescribe to (37) or to SR (Special Relativity). I simply
- derived (37) assuming the Michelson-Morley experimental results are valid
- and that my choice of (33) is a reasonable one.
-
- In my derivation of (37), I did not use the usual Lorentz Transfor-
- mations or the assumptions of the Einstein's SR theory which imply
- Lorentz Transformations. Thus, it is conceivable to have models
- where velocities are "added" according to (37) whereas neither the
- contraction of lengths nor the dilatation of Time occurs, as suggested
- by Lorentz Transformations. This circumstance fortifies my:
-
-
- (A3) TIME HAS INERTIA and some energy is irretrievably spent
- for moving TIME forward, according to:
-
- dE = -A E(t) dt
-
- I hope that somebody has benefited from my 5 part exposition (any comments?)
- Perhaps my derivation is so old that it was known to Adam and Eve or
- to Einstein who however reportedly denied knowing the Michelson-Morley's
- result (true or false).
-
- With best wishes and regards,
- Alexander Abian
-
- I post and read almost exclusively in TIME HAS INERTIA subject.

- The tendency of maintaining the status-quo, Reaction to provocation and
- The tendency of maintaining again a status-quo.
- TIME HAS INERTIA and some energy is lost to move Time forward
- E = mcc (Einstein) must be replaced by E = m(0) exp(-At) (Abian)
