Physico-Mathematical Errors in Einstein’s 1905 Derivation of the Lorentz Transformation
Author(s): Hyoungseok Koh*
The Lorentz transformation is obtained in the same form both in Lorentz’s ether-based framework and in Einstein’s ether- free framework. Starting from this paradox, we rigorously distinguish two paradigms of spacetime measurement: the mechanical rest frame, constructed from rigid rods, atomic clocks, and light, and the optical moving system, constructed from atomic clocks and light alone. A rest frame is defined as an inertial frame in which the round-trip light time is the same at every position and in every direction. We further distinguish measured coordinates, read directly at stationary points, from borrowed coordinates, which a moving point takes over from the stationary points it passes. Within this framework the invariance of the speed of light is asymmetric: the rest frame exhibits round-trip invariance, whereas the moving system exhibits only borrowed-speed invar.. Read More»
