COMPLETION OF EFFECTS IN STO. SPEED OF SPEEDS. TACHIONS

Let us consider in more detail one result of the new SRT * - "addition" of the STR effects, which was not even posed in Einstein's theory. We are talking about the following.

Consider three reference frames , and , In which coordinate systems are chosen so that their abscissa axes lie on a common straight line and the origin is chosen at the reference points. Let the system Motionless, Moves along a straight line with a speed On the system , And the system - along the same straight line with speed On the system And with the resultant speed On the system . Consider, for example, the effect of shortening lengths. Let - the length of the segment (in the direction of travel) in the system , - the length of the same segment in the system and - in system , Then (see (10) and (9))

, (eleven)

, (12)

, . (13)

Comparing From (13) and from (12) with allowance for (11), we conclude

Whence

(14)

- formulas for "addition" of SRT effects. Calculating the tangent of the sum and substituting the values ​​of the tangents from (11) - (13), we obtain

(15)

- the formula for the addition of velocities.

The formula for the addition of velocities is also derived in the traditional SRT, whereas the formulas for "addition" of effects in the traditional SRT are not. This is due to the fact that in traditional SRT relativistic effects depend on the square of the velocity and, therefore, do not depend on the sign of the velocity, which sometimes leads to contradictions in their interpretation.

Further, for the convenience of speech, speaking of the speed of light, I will talk about the speed of a photon, without investing any special meaning in the term "photon", but only to distinguish the speed of light in vacuum as the speed of light in vacuum, from the name The fundamental physical constant c , too, alas, called "the speed of light in a vacuum" (to avoid confusion I will write the name of the constant c in quotation marks).

Let us consider the motion of a photon in a vacuum. Let V 01 be the velocity of the light source relative to the fixed reference frame and V12 = c is the photon speed with respect to the light source, then from (15) we have

. (16)

Thus, the photon velocity in vacuum does not depend on the motion of the photon source, and if we take into account the fact that instead of the source we can consider the reference frame in which the source is at rest, then (16) can be interpreted as the independence of the photon speed from the motion of the inertial system, What frame of reference is this velocity considered. The latter enables us to consider the photon velocity as "the photon velocity in the ether "

The property of the motion of a photon in vacuum in the theory of Einstein is elevated to the rank of the primary principle (postulate), known as the principle of the constancy of the speed of light. I consider this property of light to be one of the consequences of the theory of relativity, and now this property can be formulated in a completely new way, bearing in mind the above concept of ether:

The speed of a photon in the ether is constant and is equal to c. (17)

Two necessary remarks to (17). First, here we are talking about the speed of a photon in a vacuum, i.e. The statement "... equals c " refers to the photon velocity in "ether in vacuum". Secondly, here the ether, strictly speaking, is the "Minkowski ether", i.e. (See the definition of the ether and the definition of the Minkowski reference frame) by the set of all conceivable virtual inertial Minkowski systems with a common chosen direction, arbitrarily moving at constant velocities relative to each other in the chosen direction , and treated as a single whole . The photon speed in (17) is the velocity in the chosen direction. By the isotropy property, the photon velocity can be extended to any direction.

Pay attention to the formula (16). Formally, the formula is also valid for the case , I.e. The photon speed is equal to c in the case when the source moves with a superluminal velocity (!). It is not difficult to show that formula (15) remains valid if one or both velocities are more light. We do not know if there are tachyons (the so-called hypothetical particles moving at a speed greater than the speed of light in a vacuum, and for which the constant c is the exact lower limit ( Infimum )), but if they exist, then I believe there is every reason to consider the addition rules Velocities are just and for them. Moreover, the resulting photon velocity in (16) can be interpreted as the velocity of Cerenkov radiation during the motion of a tachyon with a superluminal velocity, i.e. We can not observe tachyons themselves, but we can observe their radiation. For example, I have some reasons to argue that the so-called. The relict radiation in the universe is Cherenkov radiation of tachyons at an early stage of the evolution of the universe (see Chapter VIII).

I will return below to this topic, and now I want to note that if the latest assumptions are true, then the inertial systems moving with superluminal velocities relative to each other should be on the air.
