Open Questions in Relativistic Physics: Proceedings of an International Conference on Special Rela

The papers gathered in these proceedings discuss the historical background and conceptual as well as empirical difficulties with conventional relativity theory, while some new approaches to understanding electromagnetism and gravitation are presented. This volume includes 38 papers by authors from 17 different countries. Contents......Page 4 Preface......Page 8 Patrick Fleming......Page 16 F. Goy......Page 20 Andrzej Horzela......Page 32 A. G.

If a beam of light (photons) is split by means of a combined beam splitter/interferometer and sent in opposite directions around the circumference of a stationary disc using mirrors or optical fibres, an interference pattern is observed on the interferometer.
