Interpretation of relativistic, transverse, and longitudinal mass using the Lorentz transformation of reference time: Explanation of time dilation via spherical light clock

Abstract

An interpretation of the inertial mass increase due to an object's velocity which is derived from the theory of special relativity is discussed. A Lorentz transformation of the reference time causes the inertial mass increase. It is assumed that the real physical phenomenon that occurs is an expansion of the reference time by a Lorentz transformation (that is, a dilation of time). Only the reference time is assumed to be variant, which causes relativistic mass. Time dilation is real. Relativistic mass originates in a Lorentz transformation of reference time.
