More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
The book is a treatise on a replacement for the Theory of Relativity summarizing manuscripts on this subject by the author that illustrate pure classical solutions to physics problems that made Relativity famous. The solutions accomplished the exact mathematical equivalence to the cumbersome Relativistic methods but without any use of Relativity whatsoever. Pure classical solutions of the famous problems pertaining to both electromagnetism and gravitation are contained in this book of just fewer than 100 pages. 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. The not measurable, undisturbed phenomenon of the primary wave and the electrodynamics of re-emission are herein being treated and applied for the very first time.

A completely new approach!, 3 Aug 2001
By Professor Frank Senftle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Discourses and Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shift 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!

Dowdye Presents Alternative to Special & General Relativity, 18 Dec 2002
By Charles W. Lucas Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Discourses and Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shift 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.

Naturally Thought-Provoking and Controversial!, 15 Jun 2001
By Prabhakar Misra - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Discourses and Mathematical Illustrations Pertaining to the Extinction Shift 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!
