Overlooked effects of wavefront reception with or without speed limit, from aberration to time measurement

Results in Optics
A general approach to wavefront reception applicable to any type of wave allows to point out some overlooked aspects and ignored consequences of established theories.

Testing General Relativity [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
This lecture will present a review of the past and present tests of the General Relativity theory. The essentials of the theory will be recalled and the measurable effects will be listed and analyzed. The main historical confirmations of General Relativity will be described.

Toward a Consistent Theory of Relativistic Rotation. Chapter 6 in Relativity in Rotating Frames [PDF]

Relativity in Rotating Frames, Kluwer Academic Publishers (2004), 103-137, 2004
Part 1. Conundrums in the Traditional Analysis of Rotating Frames. Part 2. Resolution of the Conundrums: Differential Geometry and Non-time-orthogonality. Part 3. Experiment and Non-time-orthogonal Analysis. Part 3 contains a tabular history of the experiments performed since 1887 to test special relativity theory.

Rethinking the Foundations of the Theory of Special Relativity: Stellar Aberration and the Fizeau Experiment [PDF]

African Physical Review 5:7-40 (2011), 2011
In a previous paper published in this journal, we described a new relativistic wave equation that accounts for the propagation of light from a source to an observer in two different inertial frames. This equation, which is based on the primacy of the Doppler effect, can account for the relativity of simultaneity and the observation that charged ...

A Field Theory Model With a New Lorentz-Invariant Energy Scale

, 2006
A framework is proposed that allows to write down field theories with a new energy scale while explicitly preserving Lorentz invariance and without spoiling the features of standard quantum field theory which allow quick calculations of scattering ...

Nonlinearity without Superluminality

, 2005
Quantum theory is compatible with special relativity. In particular, though measurements on entangled systems are correlated in a way that cannot be reproduced by local hidden variables, they cannot be used for superluminal signalling.

The fate of presentism in modern physics [PDF]

, 2011
There has been a recent spate of essays defending presentism, the view in the metaphysics of time according to which all and only present events or entities exist.
