Immediate Objectives 1.To describe the physical basis for clock retardation experimental results (e.g., particle lifetimes)2.To describe the physical basis for length contraction experimental results (e.g., Michelson-Morley experiment)3.To explain why Einstein’s theory happens to give correct results, despite being based on unsupported postulates4. Show that 1, 2, and 3 are consistent with the behavior of fractal particles in the fractal cosmos

Is Einstein’s Relativity Theory Superfluous? Einstein special theory of relativity Step 1. Assumes two principles: Relativity (indistinguishable reference frames) Constant speed of light. Step 2. Derives L-T Step 3. Physical Meaning Unknown Fractal mechanics Step 1. Shows physical basis for clock retardation Step 2. Shows physical basis for L-F contraction Step 3. L-T follows for specific measurement methodologies Step 4. Two principles follow from L-T
Superfluous Vs.Preposterous Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury [Einstein], not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; William Shakespeare, “Julius Caesar,” Act 3, Scene 2
