The Rest Mass of the Hydrogen Atom from First Principles
Ernst Karl Kunst
The rest mass of the hydrogen atom in its ground state is calculated from first physical principles and elementary geometric considerations.
Is the Lorentz Transformation Distance-Dependent?
Ernst Karl Kunst
An analysis of the Lorentz transformation shows that the unchangeability of the space-time coordinates of the inertial systems under consideration and the possibility of a direct p…
Do Gravitational Fields Have Mass? Or on the Nature of Dark Matter
Ernst Karl Kunst
As has been shown before (a brief comment will be given in the text), relativistic mass and relativistic time dilation of moving bodies are equivalent as well as time and mass in t…
On the Origin of Time
Ernst Karl Kunst
Herein it is shown that mass and time in the rest frame as well as relativistically enlarged mass and dilated time in the moving frame are of like origin. This implies that the for…
Is the Kinematics of Special Relativity incomplete?
Ernst Karl Kunst
An analysis of composite inertial motion (relativistic sum) within the framework of special relativity leads to the conclusion that every translational motion must be the symmetric…
