Those who claim that authoritative proponents of SR have advocated a preferred frame have misunderstood them - just as they misunderstand what Smoot is clearly saying in the quote above. more modern efforts to find violations of special relativity look to this reference frame as the natural frame that would be special so that perhaps the suspicions were not fully un- founded.įirstly, I don't know how it could be much clearer : In Special Relativity, there are NO preferred frames of reference. there was an education job to convince them that this did not violate special relativity but did find a frame in which the expansion of the universe looked particularly simple. One problem to overcome was the strong prejudice of good scientists who learned the lesson of the michelson and morley experiment and special relativity that there were no preferred frames of reference. Einstein that 'does not allow velocities greater or equal to c', at all. Lorentz that 'does not allow velocities greater or equal to c'. HAVE pointed out, explicitly, in Section #4, that "the addition formula (4.1) is applicable to all velocities (less than, equal to and greater than c)". Since the days of Herr Einstein, it has been, generally, assumed, without any proof, that Albert's equation, for the addition of velocities, can handle any Galilean velocity sum, very well, and make it, in no time at all, less than or equal to c. So, you, really, think that Einstein's addition equation, for relative velocities, can't handle, in a mathematically coherent way, even this very simple case, in which: "Two photons are approaching each other with speed c":Īs demonstrated a number of times earlier, Einstein's formula, for the composition of velocities, can handle neither Galilean velocity sums greater than or equal to c, nor Galilean velocity sums less than or equal to c. The Lorentz transformation does not allow velocities greater or equal to c.
We propose here two new transformations between inertial frames that apply for relative velocities greater than the speed of light, and that are complementary to the Lorentz transformation, giving rise to the Einstein special theory of relativity that applies to relative velocities less than the speed of light. See for instance the reference you give yourself. And that is because it's, ALWAYS, taken for granted, within the framework of Einstein's special relativity, that: "the addition formula is applicable to all velocities (less than, equal to and greater than c)":
