Abstract

This article reveals the essence of the special theory of relativity. To date, there have been no scientific arguments against the proofs presented at the 3rd Annual International Conference on Physics in 2015 in Athens, Greece. The “Introduction” presents the foundation of the real explanation of all “unexpected” and “inexplicable” results of the experiments related to the measurement of the speed of light in our time-spatial region “near the Earth’s surface”. Subsequent factual analyses of the most famous experiments related to the velocity of light behaviour prove that the speed of light differs in different directions from the local constant “speed of light in vacuum”. The exception is only the experiments that use the “Michelson-type” interferometer. These interferometers use perfectly the same paths in two opposite directions for each light beam, which is why the difference between the speeds of light in the two opposite directions of each light beam is completely compensated. The analysis of the article “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies” shows exactly where and how the claim “the speed of light is the same for all inertial frames of reference” is applied. Einstein’s conclusion that “we cannot give any absolute meaning to the concept of simultaneous” is unfounded and absurd and is shown to be based solely on this erroneous claim. At the end of the article, the essence of the so-called “fundamental tests” of the special theory of relativity is presented too.

Introduction

The medium of propagation of electromagnetic radiation (of the quanta) is the empty of matter space between the celestial bodies and between the atoms and molecules. The supposed hypothetical “luminiferous aether” turns out to be the “empty space” itself (the vacuum). Electromagnetic radiation is the propagation of particles of energy (quanta) in a medium of propagation, which medium turns out to be compressed energy. The evidence that the so-called “empty space” is actually energy compressed by the fundamental forces of nature is presented [1].
