On Using Light Rays to Measure Speed, Time Dilation and Length Contraction of the Source of Propagation

Abstract

Erik Lee Giles

This paper describes method to measure and calculate speed, time dilation, and length contraction of the source through using the observed differences in the vector of a ray compared to the vector of a solid projectile emanating from the same source, aimed in the same direction. This method can be used to measure motion even in absence of a reference body and has identified an inertial reference frame that has properties unlike any others. This contradicts the principle of relativity.
