Special Relativity Derived from the Structure of Matter — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

Historically, the phenomena of relativity gave us a great chance for a better understanding of the structure of matter. Some of the founders of SR like H. Lorentz proceeded on this >physical< way.

This chance, however, was given away when Einstein presented a theory, which solved the relativity related problems with an abstract concept of space and time, without any relation to matter. We can excuse Einstein by the fact that at his time there was only a limited knowledge about matter.

Stimulated by the deadlock in present physics, we should re-develop the process of understanding relativity. We should use the contraction of fields (Lorentz) rather than the contraction of space; and as well the slow down of elementary oscillators (Ziegler, Schrödinger) rather than the dilation of time.

This presentation will demonstrate for the example of dilation, how much our physical understanding will profit, if we return to a >physical< understanding of such phenomena.

We arrive at the same mathematics like with Einstein (= Lorentz Transformation). And we win a theory of relativity which is so easy to comprehend, that it can be taken into physics lessons at school.

And we find an easily understandable mechanism that explains the increase of mass at motion and the mass-energy-relation, without any use of abstract principles.
