Note 409(3): Equivalence of Lorentz boost and Thomas Rotation

This note shows that the Thomas rotation at the Newtonian velocity is a type of four rotation, Eq. (43) taht immediatly produces the relativistic kinetic energy , hamiltonian, lagrangian, total energy and Thomas half . The Thomas rotation produces all the fundamental concepts of ECE2 covariant physics in a simpler way than the four rotation (8) that defines the Lorentz factor and Lorentz boost. In order to define concepts from Eq. (8), additional considerations are needed, such as the work done, Eq. (17). The static ECE2 line element Eq. (13) produces the same relativistic kinetic energy as the Thomas rotated line element. However the latter method also produces an observable precession, while the Lorentz boost does not. The Thomas rotation is the origin of all precessions, such as planetary precession and pendulum precession. UFT406 shows that the planetary precession theory of EGR is completely wrong because it omits de Sitter and Lense Thirring precessions.

Note 409(2) Relation between the Newton and Thomas velocities

This is given by Eq. (26) direct from fundamentals. The hypothesis is introduced that all cosmological precessions are Thomas precessions, because the Einstein field equation is incorrect and gives meaningless solutions such as the Schwarzschild, Kerr and black hole metrics. These are meaningless because they are based on a torsionless geometry. The Thomas precession does not depend on the Einstein field equation, the former is now undestood as the rotation of the ECE covariant metric. This rotation changes the Newtonian orbital velocity (Eq. (26)) and changes the Lorentz factor to Eq. (33). This change in the Lorentz factor means that all fundamental quantities must be re expressed in terms of the new Lorentz factor, for example the hamiltonian (42) and the lagrangian (43). In general the Thomas velocity can be found from experimental data on precession, although this is a dippy method. ECE2 gives an exact and correct description of light deflection due to gravitation.

Nomination of R. S. Thomas for a Nobel Prize in Literature

There was an openly organized campaign in the late nineties by the literary establishment, which RST found to be grossly embarrassing. In the end he reluctantly went along with the process, which got on to TV and so on. RST was a republican nationalist like myself, and was instantly attacked by the royalist media for his views, a media that was totally ignorant of Wales and RST’s brilliant poetry. RST was alwasy described as "outspoken", "cantankerous" an altogether ridiculous and deeply insulting royalist distortion of the quiet and pious Vicar of Aberdaron. The Prize went to the Irish poet Seamus Heaney. This illustrates the politicization of the Nobel Prize. In my case the various nominations for B(3), if successful, would have made standard physics instantly obsolete. It quickly became obsolete in any case. The conspirators were not successful in stopping me being awarded a Civil List Pension, it was all kept very confidential. As soon as they found out they went crazy, attacking everyone by e mail, even the Buckingham Palace staff and the Treasury. By now they are long forgotten, all that is left of them is stale fruitcake, biling away horrendously in a void like a demented banshee.

409(1): Orbital Precession and Light Deflection in Terms of the Thomas Precession.

This note gives a number of new results summarized on page three. The precession of any object is explained by the Thomas half and related to the vacuum fluctuation and spin connection in Eq. (21). The spin connection is expressed in terms of the Thomas half in Eq. (22). The Thomas half in orbital precession theory is therefore explained by the isotropically averaged vacuum fluctuation, spin connection and vacuum force. None of these concepts appear in Newtonian universal gravitation. Light deflection due to gravitation is explained precisely from the definition of the ECE2 covariant relativistic velocity under the upper bound (36) on the square of the Newtonian velocity (UFT406). It i shown that thi supper bound corresponds to the maximum attainable value of the Thomas half as in Eq. (42). Under this condition the relativistic velocity goes to c, and the deflection angle becomes (38), "twice Newton". This treatment of gravitation suffers from none of the fatal flaws of EGR, and is simple and elegant. The theory is for nearly circular orbits but can be made more precise as in many UFT papers. The EGR is by now a complete shambles, the only correct precessional theory is that of Thomas precession because it does not depend on solutions or metrics of the incorrect Einstein field equation. The Thomas velocity can be adjusted to reproduce the experimental data. For light deflection due to gravitation the Thomas precession theory is an exact theory. EGR is known now to be a complete shambles, some of the worst howlers have emerged in recent papers, but UFT88 is a famous classic and already a decade old. UFT88 has never been criticized and refutes EGR completely. There have been no criticisms of ECE and ECE2 for over a decade.

Note 408(4): Relativistic ECE2 Gravitation and the Thomas Half

This paper develops a new ECE2 covariant theory of gravitation based on the ECE2 hamiltonian and produces orbital precession from Eq. (23), the relativistic hamiltonian, because only the Newtonian hamiltonian (24) gives a closed ellipse as is well known. The Thomas half is ubiquitous throughout ECE2 generally covariant unified field theory. In EGR, gravitation in the de Sitter theory has the effect of replacing it by Eq. (25). This produces all kinds of unphysical and incorrect results of EGR, for example Eq. (28). This note shows that there are many more of these absurdities of Einsteinian general relativity.. This is an example of the usefulness of the Thomas precession in criticizing EGR. In the positive and creative mode of thinking, the Thomas half can be used to introduce new concepts into ECE2, and suggest new experiments. For example its experimental measurement is a new test of time dilatation as in Eq. (21). The Thomas half is also ubiquitous throughout electromagnetism, and wherever gamma occurs, the Thomas half occurs. So experimental measurement of the Thomas half should produce many interesting new tests of theory.
