He disputes Einstein's special theory of relativity, saying it is a mistake to presume that the velocity of light is the same constant numerical value c within a given frame of reference and that all observers in that same frame will see the same velocity of light. According to his new theory of Motional Perspective, Peck says that any contraction related to angular displacement is just a visual effect, and he proposes sim- plified equations that counter the anomalies. And contrary to special relativity, time does not run slower but shorter in Peck's Time Contraction equation. Finally, in his theory of Motional Escalation of Energy, the mass component in the mass Transformation equation should be replaced by a force com- ponent. So too, should the international unit of mass be considered a force unit because the very process of weighing introduces a gravitational acceleration component. Peck's is a thought-provoking thesis that deserves attention from serious physicists. NEXUS +71 AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2007 www.nexusmagazine.com
