Book Description
The book titled "Discourses & Mathematical Illustrations pertaining to the Extinction Shift Principle under the Electrodynamics of Galilean Transformations" in a published treatise on a replacement for the Theory of Relativity. The book summarizes manuscripts that illustrate the solutions to physics problems that made Relativity famous, obtaining the exact mathematical equivalence to Relativity but without any use of Relativity whatsoever.
The "pure" classical solutions of all the famous problems, both pertaining to electromagnetism and gravitation, has been treated in this book. A completely overlooked alternative using only Galilean transformations in Euclidean Space Geometry under Principal Axioms of the Extinction Shift Principle was demonstrated with step by step mathematical illustrations. Problems such as the text book examples pertaining to the invariance of the wave equations demonstrates how current orthodox treatments have consistently, incorrectly applied Galilean Transformations and thereby incorrectly concluded that the Wave Equations were not invariant under Galilean Transformations. The not measurable, undisturbed phenomenon of the primary wave and the electrodynamics of the re-emission thereof, until now, has never been correctly treated and applied.
In this book, the invariance of the "wave equation", the velocity dependent "effective" mass as opposed to relativistic mass, the transverse relative time shift as opposed to Time Dilation, the planet Mercury perihelion drift and the PSR1913+16 Perihelion Drift, gravitational redshift, solar light bending, etc., getting the precise mathematical equivalence to Relativity, but without any use of Relativity whatsoever, was demonstrated. As single set of Principal Axioms governing the application of Galilean Transformations in Euclidean Space were successfully used for the very first time, in both the Electromagnetism and Gravitation, in the mathematical illustrations pertaining to the Extinction Shift Principle. The procedures that lead to the pure classical solutions were explainable using basic, elementary mathematics and intuitive reasoning, requiring essentially 100 pages.

Dowdye Presents Alternative to Special & General Relativity,
By
This review is from: Discourses & Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shif t Principle Under the Electrodynamics of Galilean Transformations (Paperback)
Dowdye addresses an important but often overlooked topic in physics, i.e.emission theory. He develops a new classical emission theory based on the extinction effect observed in light moving through media. Dowdye applies his emission theory plus the Galilean transformation of velocities to electromagnetism and gravity. He is able to obtain the principal results of special relativity for electromagnetism and of general relativity for gravitation. Since Ewald (1912) and Oseen (1915) discovered the extinction effect, scientists have known that special relativity was no longer consistent with the Fizeau and Michelson-Morley experiments with light moving through a medium. These experiments were used as the basis for initially accepting relativity theory. Dowdye is to be commended for not buckling under to political correctness but rather developing a proper classical emission theory based on reality instead of an idealized point-particle universe.

A completely new approach!,
By
This review is from: Discourses & Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shif t Principle Under the Electrodynamics of Galilean Transformations (Paperback)
General and Special Relativity and its associated mathematics have proven most useful in interpreting many observable phenomena in modern physics. Dowdye's Extinction Shift Theory shows that the same phenomena can be explained in much simpler terms solely by using Galilean Transformations. If his theory is proven valid by experiment, we will have a completly new approach to explain many results in modern physics. For those of us who are steeped in relativitic thinking, the Extinction Shift Principle may be difficult to accept, but, if true, accept it we must!

Naturally Thought-Provoking and Controversial!,
By Prabhakar Misra (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Discourses & Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shif t Principle Under the Electrodynamics of Galilean Transformations (Paperback)
Dr. Edward Dowdye's book takes a controversial approach to solving physics problems associated with various fields and radiation using the "extinction shift principle" in conjunction with the Galilean transformation. The approach has its critics, since it flies in the face of now conventional and accepted wisdom. Be that as it may, the treatise is definitely thought-provoking!
