Simple thought experiments that falsify the Einstein's weak equivalence principle.(Report)
January 1, 2009... 1. Introduction There are several definitions of various equivalence principles that might introduce confusion into the discussion. It is therefore desirable to first define which equivalence principle will be discussed in this paper. In one form the Einstein's Weak Equivalence Principle...

Simultaneity and the constancy of the speed of light: normalization of space-time vectors in the Lorentz transformation.(Report)
January 1, 2009... I. Introduction The possibility that an event does not occur simultaneously for observers in relative motion seems to have first been raised by Poincare [1]. The idea gained considerable momentum from Einstein's original paper [2] on the special theory of relativity, and has long since...

Remarks on the proton structure.(Report)
January 1, 2009... 1. Introduction Scattering experiments are used as a primary tool for investigating the structure of physical objects. These experiments can be divided into several classes, depending on the kind of colliding particles. The energy involved in scattering experiments has increased...

Towards the unity of classical physics.(Report)
January 1, 2009... Introduction While classical mechanics and classical electromagnetism are often called 'the two pillars of classical physics', quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics are not called 'the two pillars of quantum physics'. The reason for this is, perhaps, that the former two are...

Lorentz contraction relative to Fresnel dragged reference frame explains solid-state Michelson-Morley experiment null result.(Report)
January 1, 2009... Introduction The speed of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum is reduced by over 30 % when it enters a transparent medium where it travels very close to the molecules comprising the medium. The Fizeau experiment with moving water confirmed Fresnel's drag formula and no experiments to...
