Henri Bergson: Half-Relativity – Lorentz Equations (12)

Nicolae Sfetcu — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 08:42:55 +0000

So would Paul speak. And at the same time he would have established the famous “transformation equations” of Lorenz, equations which, moreover, if we place ourselves at the more general point of view of Einstein, do not imply that the … Read More

”There is, however, one case where I will have to take your indications into account and modify my measurements. It is when it is a question of constructing an integral mathematical representation of the universe, I mean of everything that … Read More

Now I must add that I consider these changes beneficial. Let us indeed leave ponderable matter behind. What would my situation be with regard to light, and more generally electromagnetic facts, if my dimensions of space and time had remained … Read More

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Lorentz Equations (9) – How light has the same speed for all observers

Nicolae Sfetcu — Thu, 09 May 2024 13:18:15 +0000

We have just looked for how light could have the same speed for the fixed observer and for the moving observer: the deepening of this point revealed to us that a system S’, resulting from the splitting of a system … Read More

What will happen when operators respectively placed at 0 and at A want to measure the speed of light by noting, on the clocks tuned together which are at these two points, the moment of departure, the moment of arrival, … Read More

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (7) – Clock simultaneity

Nicolae Sfetcu — Sun, 31 Dec 2023 08:17:20 +0000

How do you adjust two clocks located in different places to each other? By communication established between the two people responsible for the adjustment. However, there is no instantaneous communication; and, since all transmission takes time, we had to choose … Read More

More generally, let us still call S a system immobile in the ether, and S’ a double of this system, which first coincided with it and then detaches itself in a straight line with the speed v. While S’ contracts … Read More

But we should also know why we ourselves, in our turn, measuring the speed of light by terrestrial experiments such as those of Fizeau or Foucault, we always find the same number c, whatever the speed of the Earth relative … Read More

Here then is the explanation proposed by Lorentz, an explanation of which another physicist, Fitzgerald, also had the idea. The line OA would contract by the effect of its movement, so as to reestablish equality between the two double paths. … Read More
