Occam’s Razor and the Special Theory of Relativity.
1.
In 1905 Einstein wrote the paper:
“ On the Electrodynamics of moving Bodies.” ( SRT).
He wrote about moving of ‘Electrodynamics Bodies’ (!)
It means he wrote about particles like quantum of light, electron. (!)
And this movement is going in a negative 4D continuum.
2.
One postulate of SRT says: the speed of quantum
of light in a vacuum is a constant ( c=1).
3
Another postulate of SRT says that motion, every motion (!),
(even including the motion of quantum of light ) is relative. (!)
4.
One postulate of SRT says the speed of quantum
of light is going in a vacuum.
Minkowski, trying to understand Einstein’s idea, decided to take
time as a fourth coordinate and created his negative spacetime
4D continuum.
What is negative 4D spacetime continuum really?
Really the negative spacetime 4D continuum is vacuum.
Why?
Because only vacuum has negative parameter ( negative temperature )
and only in vacuum the space and time tied together in unrequited continuum.
===.
My conclusion.
Einstein’s SRT explains the behavior of light quanta in vacuum.

=========================…
P.S.
“Einstein’s special theory of relativity is based on two postulates:
One is the relativity of motion, and the second is the constancy
and universality of the speed of light.
Could the first postulate be true and the other false?
If that was not possible, Einstein would not have had to make two
postulates. But I don’t think many people realized until recently
that you could have a consistent theory in which you changed only
the second postulate.”
/ Lee Smolin, The Trouble With Physics, p. 226. /
Once again.
My opinion about SRT.
1.
One of Einstein’s postulate says that quantum of light moves
in a straight line with constant speed c=1 in the vacuum.
2.
The other Einstein’s SRT postulate says that even the speed
of quantum of light is relative.
3.
It means that quantum of light can change its constant speed.

Cornelius Lanczos (served as assistant to Einstein during
the period 1928–29 ) wrote:
SRT was created on two postulates.
First postulate – there isn’t absolute speed of movement.
Every movement is relative.
Second postulate – the speed of light ( quantum of light)
is constant.
Lanczos wrote: from the first point of viewit seems that
to unite these two different postulates is impossible,
trying to do this is absolute nonsense. (!)
But . . . . It was be done. (!)
Einstein made it. (!)
. . It was needed the Einstein’s courage to do this unity. (!)
How did Einstein connected them ? (!)
He solved this problem saying that Newton’s absolute space
and time are relative.
And they can be united in negative spacetime - 4D.
==.
Very well ! !
There is only small problem in this conception:
What is the negative 4D spacetime ?
Nobody knows. ( ! )
===.
From 1905 the SRT doesn’t give sleep.
1.
One postulate of SRT takes vacuum as reference frame.
Another postulate of SRT takes inertial reference frame (s).
Can we say what these two (2) reference frames are equal ?
No, they aren’t equal.
Why ?
Because all inertial reference frames are relative.
And vacuum as reference frame isn’t relative,
it is motionless, fixed reference frame.
/ Michelson - Morley experiment. /
2.
In one reference frame speed of ‘Electrodynamics Bodies’ is constant.
In another reference frame speed of ‘Electrodynamics Bodies’ is relative.
3
And the Lorentz transformations explain interaction between
these two postulates.

Hans J. Zweig, With a PhD from Stanford, a masters degree
from Brown and a B.A. from University of Rochester:
Newtonian physics is not the ultimate truth about the universe,
but neither is Einstein’s Relativity. Newton did not know, or anticipate,
an upper bound to motion. Einstein cannot simply have it that all motion
is relative and at the same time that there is a unique hard upper limit, c.
Einstein’s Special Relativity Theory (SRT) attempts to solve the problem,
but it is invalid, as can be shown using several distinct approaches:
(1) through a logical analysis of the important concepts and
thought experiments,
(2) through recently available empirical results in astronomy, and
(3) through a physical/ mathematical analysis of the foundation of SRT.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
The ultimate truth is still hidden from us but is somewhere
between these extremes.
This thread was merged with a alien thread AFTER I made this post, I didn’t respond to the other- stacked in such a way that it looked prior to my post, making my post here a seeming response to it, so I was forced to delete this post. Sorry for any additional inconvenience or confusion or any readers… I didn’t feel comfortable posting in a thread that was manipulated in such a way.
One postulate says:
In vacuum the speed of quantum of light is constant.
It is correct that ‘a vacuum doesn’t have a measurable
rest frame’. Why?
Because in vacuum the speed of quantum of light is maximum
and time is stopped, become infinite, unlimited. It means that the
reference frame of vacuum is also infinite, unlimited.
And infinity we cannot measure.
But this doesn’t mean that infinite vacuum doesn’t exist.
We have theories ( thermodynamics and quantum physics) which
explain us the parameters of infinite vacuum.
If we measure the speed of quantum of light in vacuum from
different inertial frames the result will be the same - constant.
Why?
Because all different inertial frames ( stars and planets of billions
and billions galaxies ) exist in infinite motionless, stationary,
fixed (rest) reference frame of Vacuum.
