Historical Background Galilean Transformations of Velocities Definition of Extinction Shift Rectilinear Motion Principal Axioms Hypothetical vs Real World Observer Indistinguishability of Equivalent Waves Mathematical Proof Observational Evidence Summary and Conclusions Glossary of Terms Glossary of Terms Extinction Extinction Shifting Extinction The Annihilation, wiping out, extinguishing or the Extinction Shifting of the original true entity of a photon due to measurement. Undisturbed Undisturbed The not-yet-interfered-with, the in-tact or not-disturbed due to measurement as in an undisturbed, or a not-measurable wave. Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Primary, Secondary, Tertiary,..., A clear distinction made between waves or photons emitted from the source, whether directly or indirectly, i.e., a primary light or photons arrives at a mirror and is extinguished by the mirror and a secondary light reflects there from. Similarly, the secondary light gives rise to a tertiary light, at the occurrence of an additional reflection, and so on. Rectilinear Motion A phenomenal consequence of all undisturbed, the not-yet-interfered- with of all emissions. The constituent parts of all emitted wave fronts, for instance, will move rectilinearly, in-a-straight-line in Euclidean Space, in any ideal vacuum that is void of secondary sources of emission. Galilean Transformations of Velocities Galilean Transformations of Velocities An undisturbed, not-interfered-with emission in an ideal vacuum void of secondary sources of emission is hereby assumed. THE ACCOMPLISHMENT Galilean Transformations of Velocities Euclidean Space Geometry The Galilean Transformations of Velocities performed solely in Euclidean Space Geometry leads directly to the solutions of problems in both electromagnetism and gravitation, thereby correctly predicting the results of important experiments of the past century. On Galilean Transformations of Velocities On Rectilinear Motion of the Photons transformations are strictly carried out under Galilean Transformations of Velocities All transformations are strictly carried out under Galilean Transformations of Velocities calculations are performed strictly inAll calculations are performed strictly in Euclidean Space Geometry Euclidean Space Geometry No AD HOC assumptions required No requirements of a medium (no ether) No curvilinear coordinates required No distortions of the standard coordinate system of space and time required Photons and Gravitons move strictly along Rectilinear Paths All Photons and Gravitons move strictly along Rectilinear Paths IN SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE are totally invariant under All Laws of Nature are totally invariant under Galilean Transformations Galilean Transformationsin Euclidean Space Euclidean Space from Reference Frame - to - Reference Frame from Reference Frame - to - Reference Frame transformations are describable in a singe set of All transformations are describable in a singe set of Principal Axioms Principal Axioms of bothThe exact mathematical equivalence of both Special and General Relativity Special and General Relativity is accomplished from the above premises alone Hypothetical versus Real World Observer Equivalent Waves and the Ordinary Observer Principal Axioms Principal Axioms applied to applied to Electromagnetism Electromagnetism Principal Axioms Principal Axioms applied to applied to Gravitation Gravitation On Gravitation On Gravitation The very same principal axioms of the logical addition of velocities also apply to the exchange of gravitons between particles of mass! The motion of a particle through the field set up by a different particle under the gravitational influence of the first, has a direct representation under the electrodynamics of Galilean Transformations of Velocities, abiding strictly by the rules of rectilinear motion in Euclidean Space!!! {REFERENCE:;http://www.mpe.mpg.de/www_ir/GC/images/movie2003.gif Max-Planck-Institut fr extraterrestrische Physik} No evidence of light bending as seen from the undistorted images of elliptical paths GravitationElectromagnetism Gravitation-Electromagnetism Direct Interaction Direct Interaction GravitationElectromagnetism Gravitation-Electromagnetism No Direct Interaction No Direct Interaction No Direct Interaction between between light and gravity Lensing tool proposed by Blandford, R. & Narayan, R., 1992 GRAVITATIONAL LIGHT BENDING OR JUST PLAIN REFRACTION?
