The exponentially-damped Breit-Pauli Schrödinger (XBPS) model of nuclear physics is reviewed. A key assumption is that the neutron is a compound of three elementary particles: the proton, the electron and the antineutrino. Binding within the neutron is achieved by assuming that the antineutrino plays…

One of the most characteristic aspects of Einstein’s special theory of relativity (SR) is its conclusion that two clocks in motion can both be running slower than the other from the vantage point of their respective observers. It is pointed out that this symmetric view of the measurement process has…

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…
