PARTICLES and SPACE
Over a century ago, in
1895
, Besant and Leadbeater wrote an article which was later expanded into a book in
1908
, with further editions in 1929 and 1951, reprinted in 1994.
The author of a more recent paper (1) obtained many
ideas
from this book and wishes to gratefully acknowledge this, although the paper (1)
can stand alone, independent of the
results
given in Besant and Leadbeater's book.
The model for the derivation (in 2 lines
!) of Einstein's mass, time & length dilation equations, comes directly from Besant & Leadbeater's book, as well as
E = mc

.
Absolute motion
is assumed, avoiding all of Einstein's relativity assumptions and notions of "space-time".
It would be quite wrong of me not to acknowledge Besant & Leadbeater simply because many scientists may feel sceptical about their book because of its anecdotal nature, which means it is not readily repeatable
I commend study of their book with an open mind.
