Kinematics of Moving Bodies

Theory Parts

Published in sequence as research advances. Each part builds on the previous. Begin with Part I.

Part I Published 18 min read

The Postulates of Kinematics

This part establishes the two foundational postulates of the theory — the same postulates Einstein adopted in 1905, but interpreted with greater precision. The conclusions that follow from this interpretation diverge from Special Relativity at a fundamental level.

Prerequisites: Basic algebra, familiarity with the concept of inertial reference frames

Part II Published 22 min read

Simultaneity Without Contraction

This part derives a new account of simultaneity — the question of whether two events happen "at the same time" — from the postulates alone, without requiring that moving objects physically shrink. The mathematics is developed step by step.

Prerequisites: Part I, basic calculus, Lorentz transformation (familiarity sufficient)

Part III Under Review 18 min read

Momentum at the Limit

As objects approach the speed of light, Special Relativity predicts their momentum increases without bound. This part reworks that prediction under the revised framework and compares the results against collider data.

Prerequisites: Parts I and II, classical mechanics, basic particle physics

Energy, Mass, and the Missing Term

E = mc² is perhaps the most famous equation in physics. This part proposes a correction to it — a small additional term that becomes significant only at extreme energies — and examines what this would mean for high-precision measurements.

Prerequisites: Parts I, II, and III, special relativity energy-momentum relation
