NONRELATIVISTIC ALTERNATIVE OF THE LAWS OF MECHANICS AND ELECTRODYNAMICS

The observed reduction in acceleration of a mass at higher velocities compared with that at lower velocities, for apparently the same applie d (driving) force, in not due to increase in inertia with velocity, as relativity theory suggests. It is due to a reduction in effective for ce with velocity. The force balance (Newton's third law) is secured by the inertia of the energy left in the intermediate region. Mass remai ns an invariant, as does the ratio of force to the time derivative of the momentum (Newton's second law). It is only necessary to use the co rrect proper times for each part of the interacting systems, as well a s the hereto belonging proper velocity numbers. Proper times result fr om the actual physical nature of time dilatation (clock retardation). Forces, velocities, and time are interlinked physical quantities and w ill attain special unique numerical values only in the frame that is a t absolute rest, the Mach frame. Inertia appears linked to magnetic mi crofields between the moving charges that always accompany matter. Suc h microfields can be considered analogous to those representing chemic al binding energy. Symmetry requirements will then determine the strai ght path of inertial movement, and when violated, cause the centrifuga l effects. Practical equations do not change because of the new nonrel ativistic interpretation of the interactions, but certain paradoxes of the presently reigning theories are resolved.
