Galilean relativity with the relativistic gamma factor. — •Osvaldo Domann — Stephanstr. 42, D- 85077 Manching

SR as derived by Einstein is the product of an approach of 1905 when the interactions between light and the measuring instruments were still not well understood. SR is a rough undifferentiating heuristic mathematical approach which ignores the origin of the constancy of light speed in inertial frames, arriving to wondrous results about time and space. With the findings made during the last 100 years by experimentalists, a critical revision of Einstein's theoretical approach is more than overdue. Based on these findings, a theoretical approach is presented which takes into consideration the interactions between light and the optical lenses and electric antennas of the measuring instruments, explaining why always 'c' is measured in the frame of the instruments. The approach treats relativity as a speed problem with absolute time and space variables, resulting equations of Galilean relativity multiplied with the gamma factor. More at www.odomann.com
