Theoretical analysis demonstrates the utility of an astronomy-centered relativity framework, indicating simplified calculations and the identification of new observable relativistic effects.
The standard formalism of relativistic mechanics is incompatible with astronomical datadue to a different definition of the time coordinate. In astronomy two events recorded onthe same photograph have the same time coordinate, while standard special relativity wouldidentify the farther event as happening earlier. Astronomical time convention is on the basisof practicality, owing to our limited knowledge of extraterrestrial distances. Currently, we lacka complete formalism of special relativity based on this time convention and the distinctionbetween these two conventions is muddled. It also turns out that several additional more easilyobservable relativistic effects appear when we consider astronomy-centered relativity.As outlined and proposed in this document, the aim of this doctoral thesis project is the creationof a separate derivation of relativistic mechanics based on the astronomical time convention andalso prove that it is simpler and more powerful when used in astronomy than the standard one.The proposal document discusses the background, previous research, work done and plannedin addition other topics related to the carrying out of the project.
