Abstract

The Lorentz Transformation (LT), which is the cornerstone of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, is shown to lack internal consistency.Furthermore, his conclusion that the speed of light is the same relative to its source as it is for an observer in a different rest frame is untenable.It is also shown that the LT violates the Law of Causality by virtue of its space-time mixing characteristic.A Clock-rate Corollary to Newton's First Law of Motion is invoked to show that time and space are completely distinct entities, one measured with a clock and the other with a meter stick.This leads to the development of the Newton-Voigt (NVT) space-time transformation as a replacement for the LT.It also provides the basis for the Uniform Scaling Method which allows for a completely objective theory of measurement.
