Kinematics theory of balls and light versus the theory of special relativity—June 2025

The study of the emission, propagation, and reflection of balls leads to the mechanical ballistic law that applies to balls with and without mass. A natural extension of the ballistic law is to encompass massless entities such as light. According to the ballistic law, a ball or a light wavefront emitted by a source inherits the velocity of its source in the absolute frame. The ballistic law governs the kinematics of balls and light in inertial frames from the background of the absolute frame. The mathematical expression of the ballistic law gives the propagation velocity of a ball and light wavefront as the vector sum of the ball's or the light wavefront's velocity emitted by a source and the source's velocity. The ballistic law explains why the speed of light is a universal constant <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:math> in any inertial frame in which a source and a mirror are at rest, the laws of physics have the same form in any inertial frame, and no experiment in such a frame can prove its motion. By understanding the kinematics of light, we can understand the multiple issues rooted in Lorentz's transformation and Einstein's special relativity. For example, the theory of special relativity misapplies the symmetry observed in some phenomena to two inertial frames. Thus, it duplicates a physics phenomenon from one inertial frame, considered stationary, to another. The Lorentz transformation confirms the speed of light <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:math> in the moving and opposite direction of the inertial frame. Simultaneously, it varies in any other direction, converging to infinity. Lorentz's transformation has no length contractions or dilations as special relativity pretends. This study confirms the constancy of time passage in the universe and the variability of the propagation speed of light wavefronts in the absolute frame.
