1. Discover how to derive the special relativity observations from Newtonian mechanics

∙ All matter particles consist of a small composite particle made of ether gas particles which move at the speed of light. The composite particle making up matter at rest has a circular orbit. “Mass” in the form of a photon can be coupled to the composite particle at the speed of light to cause it to accelerate. Part of the “mass” is scattered and part is captured giving the result that the matter particle mass grows as given by  where “ ” is the matter particle mass at velocity “v”, “ ” is the rest mass, and “c” is the speed of light.

∙ The composite particles initial circular path is changed to an elliptic path with a minor axis smaller than the circular radius by the factor .

∙ The composite particle elliptic path has an orbital period times the period when at rest.

∙ Thus, mass growth, matter shortening, and time dilation predicted by this Newtonian theory is the same as that predicted by Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
