THE REASON FOR SPECIAL RELATIVITY

In Alice Law, I have shown how important the concept of FIELD is.
Assuming that you have read those sections, I will not go into the details of the FIELD concept here.
I recommend that you also read the FIELD CONCEPT section that I published on the web under a separate topic.
To understand the reason behind Special Relativity, let us first examine the event below.
Because something very similar happens in Special Relativity.
Let’s start the animation by pressing the START button.
We are looking at the bottles on a conveyor belt in a factory. The
upper machine places one bottle per second on the belt. Since the belt
is moving, the bottles move toward the end of the belt. If we look at
the distance between two bottles, we see that this distance does not
change. However, when the worker pushes or pulls the conveyor, the
distance between the bottles increases or decreases.
Now let us examine the animation above. This animation shows in great detail how Special Relativity occurs.
You will see that the event occurring in Special Relativity is not very different from the previous animation.
In the previous animation, the conveyor belt acted as the carrier; here the FIELD acts as the carrier.
Let’s start the animation by pressing the PLAY button.
The flashlight places photons onto the observer’s FIELD at fixed time intervals.
The photons placed onto the observer’s field reach the observer by moving at speed c relative to the field.
If the flashlight and the observer are in motion relative to each
other, we see that the distance between the two photons placed on the
field changes. This animation provides extensive information on how the
(c+v)(c−v) mathematics is formed for electromagnetic waves and shows
exactly how special relativity emerges. Of course, I must say that the
source code of this animation is based on the (c+v)(c−v) proof of Alice
Law.
The animation shows such an interesting result that I am repeating it
here. When we move the observer left or right, we see that not only the
observer but also the observer’s field and the photons traveling on
that field move together. No matter how surprising it may seem, this
absolutely occurs. This is the extraordinary result that the (c+v)(c−v)
mathematics shows us. This happens because when the observer changes
position, the field belonging to the observer also moves with them, and
since photons (electromagnetic waves) move at speed c relative to the
field in which they exist, they are carried together with the field.
Whether the field is in motion or not does not change the speed c of
the electromagnetic wave relative to the field.
Almost everything I explained about Special Relativity in Alice Law is
prepared in accordance with the information provided by the (c+v)(c−v)
mathematics. This animation gives us vast information on how this
mathematics occurs. If you study it, you will discover many new pieces
of information. I wrote about these in the Alice Law 5 and Alice Law 6
books and on my website aliceinphysics.com — and these are only what I
have discovered so far.
As I explained in Alice Law, understanding Special Relativity without adopting the Field Concept is very difficult.
Because thinking with fields makes reasoning in (c+v)(c−v) mathematics simpler and leads to results more easily.
Alice Law is not only a theory that shapes the future of physics, but also a magnificent and extraordinary teaching.
You can download the source code of the animation. This code will show you how the (c+v)(c−v) mathematics is formed.
