<br />The link you provided requires a password. My opinions about special relativity may be found in my two articles about it:
metaresearch.org/cosmology/gps-relativity.asp and in metaresearch.org/cosmology/gravity/gps-twins.asp
The present status is that SR is experimentally falsified by "speed of gravity" experiments [Foundations of Physics 32, 1031-1068 (2002)]. But there is nothing wrong with its logic, given its anti-intuitive premises. -|Tom|-

I'm sorry. I think it needs a registration to have full access to articles in scholar.google.com. I know it can be done by Universities such as the one where I get connected.

Your articles are very informative and I have been reading them for some time. Now I'm trying to find some other detailed texts to compare with yours, specially the part concerned with the GPS. Soon I will be asking questions about this (I hope you are patient enough to answer them []). In usenet's newsgroup such as sci.physicis.relativity, they like to cite GPS as an application of special and general relativity. (I also notice that people over there doesn't like you that much []). I'm spending a lot of time reading their and your posts... it is so interesting that I can't stop reading... even when I have to work!

I had no problem getting access to the article by C. Will. Two things I noted in a quick look-it is funded by NSF and the Cosmic Microwave Background is a fixed reference. Funded by NSF means the author is paid by the word. Why is the CMB is a fixed reference? Maybe more study is required.

Rush,

You need to get a copy of Lorentz’s 1895 book, “Versuch Einer Theorie Der Elektrischen Und Optischen Erscheinungen In Bewegten Körpern,” so you can see where the 1905 SR theory came from. It was Lorentz in this book, not Einstein, who first theorized the slowdown in the “tick” rate of a moving atomic clock. Lorentz’s book is available from www.elibron.com

Also, get yourself a copy of “Modifications of the Lorentz Force Law Invariant under Galilean Transformations,” by Ching-Chuan Su. Also see, “A local-ether model of propagation of electromagnetic wave,” by the same Dr. Su.

Thank you David for the references. I think I can't read Lorentz's 1895 book because it is not in English... but I for sure would like to read it.

You can read the equations in the book. Einstein got some of his 1905 SR equations from this book.
