The measure and detection of of Absolute velocity and

[Guest sandgeist]

Two inertial frames A and B are moving wrt to each other at a constant Va + Vb = Vab the realtive velocity of the A inertial frame with respect to the B frame. The Va fame launches a velocity probe, A', from the side of the A frame. At t < 0 Va'a = 0 and Va' + Vb = Vab. At t = 0 A' begins accelerating in the -X direction, the assumed direction of Vband opposite to that assumed for A. A is moving in the +X direction.

 

A' is configured as a relative velocity probe and montors the Va'a and Va'b relative ve;ocities until the point at t = 1 when Va' = Vb at which time the Va' is noted as that velocity the B frame would have lost with respect to Vab, a constant, had it actually moved, and likewise Va' must be the velocity the A frame would have gained in maintaining the constant Va + Vb = Vab. or Va = Vab - Vb = Vab - Va'.

 

There is a one page discussion I prepared with some graphics that should clear up any ambiguity, just scroll down to the absolute velocity prompt..

 

The biggest surprise for me was dscovering that it was actually me that developed this algorithm that as far as I know is original. Having been at least a subconscious dissident regarding relativity theory I have been numbed somewhat by the experience of the enormity of it all.

 

I do have a question for the general readership:

 

What has this to say for relativity theory?
