The slowing down of the rates of clocks by virtue of their motion (time dilation) and the conclusion that events which are simultaneous for one such clock may occur at different times for another (remote non-simultaneity) are two of the most well-known consequences of Einstein's Special Theory of…

A review of Einstein’s derivation of the Lorentz transformation (LT) discloses an unjustified assumption that leads to conflicts with experimental data. By taking advantage of a normalization condition, it is shown that a different version of the relativistic space-time transformation is obtained which…

The history of the development of the Lorentz transformation (LT) is reviewed, starting with the original suggestion of Voigt in 1887 for a modification of the longstanding classical (Galilean) relationship between space and time coordinates. His conjecture has led to the currently accepted view by theoretical…

Sustainable Insights 2015 - Kongress für Studierende und Werkstatt für verantwortungsvolles Wirtschaften 2015 Wie integrieren Unternehmen Nachhaltigkeitskonzepte in ihre Geschäftspolitik und wie realistisch ist die Umsetzung im Betriebsalltag? Wie bewerten Studierende verschiedener Fachrichtungen Strategien…

The interpretation of the velocity parameter in Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz Force law is examined. It is shown that the predicted trajectories of electrons in an electromagnetic field depend on the state of motion of the observer. This ambiguity can be removed by assuming that the origin of the…
