Special Relativity in Absolute Space: from a contradiction in terms to an obviousness

Vasco Guerra, Rodrigo de Abreu

This work deals with the questions of absolute space and relativity. In particular, an alternative derivation of the effects described by special relativity is provided, which is b…

Is the assumption of a special system of reference consistent with Special Relativity?

Rodrigo de Abreu, Vasco Guerra

In a previous work we have shown that the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment in vacuum is deeply connected with the notion of time. The same is true for the the postula…

The physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity in Special Relativity

Rodrigo de Abreu

Based on two previous papers, the physical meaning of synchronization and simultaneity as is presented in Einstein's Special Relativity paper of 1905 is reconsidered. We follow Ein…

Deduction of Lorentz Transformation from the existence of absolute rest. Deduction of the speed of light in any frame of reference

Rodrigo de Abreu

We begin by admitting the following: (i) there is a frame of reference where the speed of light is the same in any direction (that speed is c) (ii) the average speed of light on a…

A relativistic time variation of matter/space fits both local and cosmic data

Alfredo Gouveia Oliveira, Rodrigo de Abreu

Cosmic observations strongly support a time varying scenario for matter/space. On the other hand, so far, observations at solar system scale failed to identify any time variation o…

The Energy-Entropy Principle

Rodrigo de Abreu

In this paper, through a criticism of what we call the paradigmatic view of thermodynamics, we aim at showing a new perspective attained in this matter. The generalization of heat…
