Ruler measurements give space-time-transformation-independent invariant lengths
J. H. Field
Two thought experiments are described in which ruler measurements of spatial intervals are performed in different reference frames. They demonstrate that such intervals are frame-i…
Derivation of the Schrödinger equation from the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics
J. H. Field
It is shown how the time-dependent Schrödinger equation may be simply derived from the dynamical postulate of Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and the Hamil…
Langevin's `Twin Paradox' paper revisited
J. H. Field
An in-depth and mathematically-detailed analysis of Langevin's popular 1911 article on the special theory of relativity is presented. For the reader's convenience, English translat…
Space-time attributes of physical objects and the laws of space-time physics
J. H. Field
Physical time intervals are attributes of single physical object whereas physical space intervals are a relational attribute of two physical objects. Some consequences of the break…
Translational invariance and the space-time Lorentz transformation with arbitrary spatial coordinates
J. H. Field
Translational invariance requires that physical predictions are independent of the choice of spatial coordinate system used. The time dilatation effect of special relativity is sho…
Proposals for Two Satellite-Borne Experiments to Test Relativity of Simultaneity in Special Relativity
J. H. Field
An orbiting `photon clock' is proposed to test directly the relativity of simultaneity effect of special relativity. This is done by exchanging microwave signals between two satell…
