  • Superluminal and negative velocities according to ether theory (2011) [Updated 1 decade ago]
    by Stephane Baune   read the paper:

    We show that when one uses the Einstein synchronizing procedure to synchronize two remote clocks, modern ether theories predict that superluminal and negative measured velocities become possible. In light of such remarks, we argue that superluminal velocity experiments favor the existence of a universal preferred reference frame and may aid in the detection of such a frame. 


  • Time for Another Paradox (2009) [Updated 1 decade ago]

    We consider the detection of a superluminal signal. We show that there exists a particular inertial frame in which the superluminal signal is not uniquely localizable and that it is detected everywhere at the same instant within the inertial frame. This leads to a novel paradox to which we attribute the relativity of simultaneity.


  • Faster Than the Brighter-Light Beacon (2009) [Updated 1 decade ago]

    Phys. Educ. 44. We analyse the motion of a spot of light projected onto a flat screen by a rotating source. We find that the motion of the spot has many interesting features such as spot splitting and superluminal effects. Our discussion is well suited for undergraduates and can be an interesting add-on in their curriculum, giving them new insights into the effects of kinematics.


  • Theory of Special Relativity vs. Preferred Reference Frame Theory: A Theoretical Distinction: UPDATE (2006) [Updated 6 years ago]
    by Stephane Baune   read the paper:

    This paper is an update to our earlier paper1 entitled ?Theory of Special Relativity vs. Preferred Reference Frame Theory: A theoretical distinction?. This updated version simplifies the arguments used in the former paper by removing unnecessary calculations and using only logical arguments. It does not involve calculations or use of the Lorentz equations. This will remove many ambiguities and objections some might have concerning our earlier paper. We will once more conclude that Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is not equivalent to modern ether theories. We suggest that the reader review section 1 and section 2 of the former paper in which we introduce Preferred reference Frame Theories (PFT).


  • Theory of Special Relativity vs. Preferred Reference Frame Theory: A Theoretical Distinction (2005) [Updated 6 years ago]
    by Stephane Baune   read the paper:

    We show that there is a simple experiment whose outcome as predicted by the Theory of Special Relativity will differ from the prediction of the Preferred Reference Frame Theory. This shows that Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity is not mathematically equivalent to modern Ether theories, as is often claimed. This experiment can therefore discriminate between the two theories.
