Revelation of the overlooked conceptual mistakes in the derivation of the Lorentz transformation factor
The conceptual foundation of Einstein's theory for the derivation of the Lorentz transformation factor (LTF) has been subjected to a thorough examination both analytically and experimentally and there reveals a host of conceptual mistakes that the theory suffers from. The presumed temporal concept of the theory that the time of occurrence of an event measured in a moving frame ( t ′) should be different from that measured in a stationary frame ( t ) and the frame's velocity dependent temporal concept that the theory concludes have been conclusively proven to be conceptually incorrect ones. That the LTF theory suffers from a logical flaw—the fallacy of circular reasoning—is quite evident from the fact that what the theory concludes is the same as what it assumes. The experimental observation conclusively proves that t ′ = t , that is, the time-measurement readings by all ideal clocks are exactly the same, irrespective of their state of motion. All the key equations involving t ′ that Einstein deduced in his LTF theory have also been shown to be the incorrect ones. That the LTF was erroneously derived on the basis of faulty temporal concept has been conclusively proven in this article.
