Alternative Interpretation of the Lorentz-transformation

The Lorentz-Transformation (LT) is the basis of the Theories of Relativity, which are capable of describing the experimentally manifold confirmed relativistic phenomena that deviate from classical physics. Here I present a proof that results in an alternative interpretation of the LT. In particular, the LTcannot be applied to high relative velocities and related space-time modeling – one of the most important tools in physics and astronomy – and will lead to a dead end. Two experiments are proposed to test this idea.

Suppose two reference frames A and B with identical emitters anddetectors move with constant velocities against each other, but theirvelocities against a fixed point are not known. Due to the measuredchange of frequency, observers in those systems could calculate therelative velocity between them. However, in classical physics a formula for this model does not exist.If an observer in A can assume that he is at rest and B moves withvelocity –v in his direction, then the classical Doppler-formula is valid (with β=v/c).

1 β = − AB f f

This formula is not based on a transmission medium like air for sound. It is sufficient to assume a constant velocity in relation to a reference point outside of this test system. Alternatively, if system B is atrest, and the observer in A moves to B with the velocity +v then a different Doppler-formula is valid.

f f AA = + 0 (1 β )

This is observed outside of frames A and B where the information is transmitted with constant velocity c, independent of the movements of A and B.
