Abstract
A short outline of the alternative, Lorentzian version of special relativity is presented. It is shown that a simple principle of consistency of measurements, familiar and obvious to every experimentalist, when applied in the interpretation of experimental evidence about inertial motion, leads straightforward to the Lorentzian formulation of relativity which involves both the principle of relativity and Lorentz transformation and also a privileged state of motion and effects related to absolute motion.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
