On Abreu's theory of space and time and new measurements of absolute velocities

Abstract

Abreu, R. suggested a new interpretation for the Lorentz Transformation (LT), a different LT derivation and a new "synchronized" space time transformation (ST). While he has shown that his results could be expressed in a Lorentz invariant form, the simplest (but perhaps most shocking) approach appears to be the use of the ST. The simplicity of this formulation, which bypasses the well known paradoxes from Relativity, along with the fact that phenomena like time dilatation are still predicted, suggests the need for further investigation on this subject. We briefly discuss this new space time approach, using ST, and suggest two new methods for measuring absolute velocities which also provide a way to test Special Relativity.
