Simple Relativity
Comparisons
Recall from the above comments that Kepler's efforts resulted in an unrecognized conclusion that radial distance and tangential velocity must be reciprocal component mathematical values of one single constant mathematical value. This was experimentally proven by his discovery that the radius of each planet sweeps through equal areas of space during equal durations of time. Which mandates that A = (RV)/2 = Constant for each planet. This is the same as R*(dL/dT) = Constant, where dL is the change in tangential location of the planet relative to the Sun during the change in time, dT, required for that change to occur.If we let the unit value of distance be a variable (rather than some assumed arbitrary constant value), and set that variable equal (or directly proportional) to R, then when we use that relative value of distance of R in the value of both R and V, the equation reduces simply to Constant = (R/R) / [(dL/R)/dT] = dT / (dL/R).
Finally if we let the unit value of time duration be a variable (rather than some assumed arbitrary constant value), and set that variable equal to 1.0 when dL = R, the equation reduces simply to Constant = 1 / 1 = 1. The fastenating part of this concept of relative units of time and space is that it applies not just to one specific planet - but to every possible planet to Sun relationship. And also can be applied to every other pair of mutually rotating celestial objects.
What we have done is to consider the unit lengths of dimensions as being relative to the observatiion, rather than to resorting to Einstein's currently accepted concept that the NUMBER of fixed (irrelative) units of measure for time and space must vary with perceived relative velocity.
But the result of what we have done is to show that EVERY perceived velocity is a mathematical constant, as opposed to Einstein's conclusion that only the speed of light is a mathematical constant. The value of that universal constant we have derived is simply a dimensionless 1.0, as opposed to Einstein's conclusion that the universal constant is applicable only to the speed of light and that the value is dependent on the choice of which irrelevant pair of dimensional units one chooses to use - such as 180,000 miles per second, 3x10^8 meters per second.
There are two other significant advantages: The concept of relative units of measure eliminates the differences between classical and modern physics; and the discontinuity between zero and infinite 'inertial mass' which exists in the currently accepted concept at V = C simply vanishes.
a final solution
More significant, and perhaps much easier to understand is that we have just shown that what man percieves as a change in distance and as a duration of time are not two separate independent factors. They are simply different perceptions of the same natural factor which we call 'motion'. When we choose to consider that the natural UNITS of measure for time and space are relative (rather than to choose the NUMBER of fixed irrelelavent units for time and space as relative, as Einstein postulated) then we have finally discovered the true significance of the entire concent of relativity.It will be shown in a subsequent section of this document that with that recognition it is possible to explain most (perhaps all) of the mechanics of motion (both external and internal) without the need for complex mathematics. An explaination that not only matches the results of all prior experimental efforts, but also provides a logical reason about the reason WHY those results were obtained.
