The Quantum FFF Model differences: What are the main differences of Q-FFFTheory with the standard model? 1, A Fermion repelling- and producing electric dark matter black hole. 2, An electric dark matter black hole splitting Big Bang with a 12x distant symmetric instant entangled raspberry multiverse result, each with copy Lyman Alpha forests. 3, Fermions are real propeller shaped rigid convertible strings with dual spin and also instant multiverse entanglement ( Charge Parity symmetric) . 4, The vacuum is a dense tetrahedral shaped lattice with dual oscillating massless Higgs particles ( dark energy). 5, All particles have consciousness by their instant entanglement relation between 12 copy universes, however, humans have about 500 m.sec retardation to veto an act. ( Benjamin Libet) It was Abdus Salam who proposed that quarks and leptons should have a sub-quantum level structure, and that they are compound hardrock particles with a specific non-zero sized form. Jean Paul Vigier postulated that quarks and leptons are "pushed around" by an energetic sea of vacuum particles. 6 David Bohm suggested in contrast with The "Copenhagen interpretation", that reality is not created by the eye of the human observer, and second: elementary particles should be "guided by a pilot wave". John Bell argued that the motion of mass related to the surrounding vacuum reference frame, should originate real "Lorentz-transformations", and also real relativistic measurable contraction. Richard Feynman postulated the idea of an all pervading energetic quantum vacuum. He rejected it, because it should originate resistance for every mass in motion, relative to the reference frame of the quantum vacuum. However, I postulate the strange and counter intuitive possibility, that this resistance for mass in motion, can be compensated, if we combine the ideas of Vigier, Bell, Bohm and Salam, and a new dual universal Bohmian "pilot wave", which is interpreted as the EPR correlation (or Big Bang entanglement) between individual elementary anti-mirror particles, living in dual universes.

A lot to work with, Abbas.
However, I am standing in a completely different position, and want to share my work with you. I hope you are interested about this completely distinct perspective.
My claim is that Einstein established a jump that is not allowed, yet everyone followed along.
Einstein and Newton's starting point is the behavior of matter through space. As such, one should find as answer something about the behavior of matter moving through space, and yet Einstein did not do that.
To make the point understandable quickly, Einstein had not yet heard about the Big Bang yet. So, while he devised his special relativity, he actually had not incorporated the most important behavior of matter through space.
Instead, he ended up hanging all behaviors of matter on spacetime. It does not matter that his calculations are correct.

Let me find a simple example to show what is going on.
We are doing research on mice in a cage, and after two years we formulated a correct framework that fully captures all possible behaviors of these mice in the cage. That's the setup.
Now comes the mistake:
The conclusion is that the cage controls the mice in their behaviors.
Correctly, we would have said that the mice are in control of themselves, yet the cage restricts them in their behavior. We would not say that the cage controls the mice.
Totally incorrect of course, and yet that is what Einstein did. He established a reality in which matter no longer explains the behavior of matter through space, but made it space (spacetime) that explains the behavior of matter. It is a black&white position that has to be replaced by the correct framework (which is a surprise because it is not based on one aspect, but on both aspects).

Here is an article in which I delve into this matter more deeply:

"Richard Feynman postulated the idea of an all pervading energetic quantum vacuum. He rejected it, because it should originate resistance for every mass in motion, relative to the reference frame of the quantum vacuum."
Richard Feynman's idea is perfect, and there is no reason to reject it. The existence of vacuum energy, or better dark energy is consistent with Einstein's field equations with a positive cosmological constant.
The energy gain from mass or energy in motion leads to an increasing dark energy density.
The only idea which is missing, is the answer to the question: What happens with the additionally gained energy density?
As an answer to that question I propose the following working hypothese:
This energy is used to recycle star fuel from black holes.
On a first glance, this answer looks as being pure madness, because black holes with their unconvincible gravity seem to be a deposit of matter for eternity.
But in fact there is a plausible possibility. This has to do with the negative energy density of gravitational fields and the non-existence of a negatively definite energy density.
But we need open minded thinking in order to delve deeper into details.

"How do we understand special relativity?"
- the answer to this question, which is really fundamental one, since is about what is some physical theory as a whole; what really means – why and how the postulates of a theory, in this case of the SR, really are formulated, and why and how the postulates
- which in any theory fundamentally – as that happens in mathematics, where axioms fundamentally cannot be proven – aren’t proven; while are formulated only basing on some experimental data, which fundamentally prove nothing, though one experiment that is outside a theory prediction proves that this theory is either wrong, or at least its application is limited.
Returning to the SR, which is based on really first of all four postulates – the SR-1905/1908 versions relativity principle, SR-1905 also on the postulate that light propagates in 3D XYZ space with constant speed of light independently on light source/ an observer’s speeds; and, additionally,
- in both theories it is postulated (i) that fundamentally there exist no absolute Matter’s spacetime, and (ii) - [so] that all/every inertial reference frames are absolutely completely equivalent and legitimate.
In the standard now in mainstream physics SR-1908 additionally to the SR-1905 it is postulated also that observed contraction of moving bodies’ lengths, and slowing down of moving clocks tick rates, comparing with the length and tick rates when bodies and clocks are at rest in “stationary” frames, is caused by the “fundamental relativistic properties and effects”, i.e. “space contraction”, “time dilation”, etc..
Really from yet the (i) and (ii) postulates any number of really senseless consequences completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously follow, the simplest one is the Dingle objection to the SR;
- from this, by completely rigorous proof by contradiction completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously it follows , first of all, that
- Matter’s spacetime is absolute, that so some “absolute” frames that are at rest in the absolute 3DXYZ space can exist, while applications, i.e. measurements of distances and time intervals, of moving in the space inertial frames aren’t completely adequate to the objective reality; and
- there exist no the “relativistic properties and effects”.
Etc. However really the SR first of all is based on the indeed extremely mighty Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle.
That is another thing that
- according to SR-1905 relativity principle there is some extremely potent entity “light”, the constancy of which for/by some mystic reasons/ways forces moving bodies to contract and moving clocks to slow down tick rates; and
- the SR 1908 relativity principle is practically omnipotent, so the moving frames, bodies, clocks for/by some mystic reasons/ways really contract/dilate even evidently fundamental space and time.
All that above in the SR really is/are only postulated illusions of the authors, nonetheless, again, the Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle is really . extremely mighty, and the SR indeed in most cases at everyday physical practice is applied in completely accordance with the objective reality. The fundamental flaws of the SR reveal themselves only on fundamental level.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”
In the SS post above it is pointed that Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute, however to say more it is necessary to clarify - what are “space” and “time”, just because of the authors of the SR – and whole mainstream physics till now - fundamentally didn’t/don/t understand what these fundamental phenomena/notions are, the really mystic and simply fundamentally wrong things in the SR were/are introduced in this theory.
What are these phenomena/notions, and what are all other really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all in this case “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”,
- and “Matter”– and so everything in Matter, i.e. “particles”, “fundamental Nature forces” – and so “fields”, etc., which is/are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational in the mainstream philosophy and sciences, including physics,
- can be, and is, clarified only in framework of the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, and more concretely in physics in the SS&VT Planck scale informational physical model, in this case it is enough to read
More see the link above, here now only note, that, as that is rigorously scientifically rationally shown in the model, Matter absolutely for sure is some informational system of informational patterns/systems – particles, fields, stars, etc., which, as that is shown in the model, is based on a simple binary reversible logics.
So everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [4+4+1]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct); FLE “size” and “FLE binary flip time” are Planck length, lP, and Planck time, tP.
The disturbances are created in the lattice after some the lattice FLE is impacted, with transmission to it, by some non-zero at least 4D space, momentum P[boldmeans 4D vector] in utmost universal Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z). The impact causes in the lattice sequential FLE-by-FLE flipping, which, since the flipping cannot propagate in the lattice with 4D speed more than the flipping speed c=lP/tP [really at particles creation and motion c√2, more see the link, but that isn’t essential here].
Some FLE flipping above along a direct 4D line can be caused by a practically infinitesimal P impact; but if P isn’t infinitesimal, that causes flipping FLE precession and corresponding propagation of the “FLE-flipping point” in the 4D space above along some 4D helix,
- i.e. causes creation of some close-loop algorithm that cyclically runs on FLE “hardware ” with the helix’s frequency ω, having momentum P=mc above, mis inertial mass, the helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along P – particles are some “4D gyroscopes”.

In the SS posts above it is pointed that everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of FLEs, which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, spacetime,
- and that happens always in utmost universal “kinematical” Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z), and corresponding spacetime with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z ct), where ct is the real time dimension.
At that particles, most of which compose real bodies, at every time moment exist as “FLE –flipping point” that move along some4D helixes that have frequencies ω, having 4D momentums P=mc, m are inertial masses, a helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along Pparticles are some “4D gyroscopes”.
So in Matter there exist two main types of particles – “T-particles”, which are created by momentums that are directed along the -axis [more generally – by 4D momentums cτ-components, but here that isn’t too essential], and so, if are at rest in the 3DXYZ space, move only along cτ-axis with the speed of light, and at that a T- particle’s algorithm ticks with maximal “own frequency”, the particle’s momentum is P0=m0c, where, correspondingly, m0 is the “rest mass”.
If a such T-particle, after some 3D space impact with a 3D space momentum p, moves also in 3D space with a velocity V, having 4D momentum P=P0+p, its speed along the cτ-axis decreases by the Pythagoras theorem in (1-V2/c2)1/2 , i.e. in reverse Lorentz factor,
- and, at that, despite that the helix’s frequency increases, the algorithm is “diluted by “blank” 3D space FLEs flips. So the “own frequency above” decreases in Lorentz factor, so the algorithm ticks slower; and so, say, moving clocks that are some algorithms as well, tick slower in Lorentz factor as well; if a particle algorithm has some defect, and so at every its tick it can break with some probability, so the particle is unstable and decay, such moving in 3D space particles live longer.
Nothing, of course, happens with time, there is no any the SR’s “time dilation”.

Roggers Waibi added a reply:
As proposed by Albert Einstein, Special relativity fundamentally transforms our understanding of space, time, and the nature of reality. At its core, special relativity postulates two key principles: the constancy of the speed of light and the relativity of simultaneity. The former states that the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. This principle defies common intuition but has been rigorously confirmed by experiments. The latter principle, the relativity of simultaneity, suggests that events that appear simultaneous to one observer may not be simultaneous to another observer in relative motion. Special relativity introduces the concept of spacetime, wherein space and time are intertwined, and observers in relative motion will experience time dilation and length contraction effects. These phenomena have been validated through numerous experiments, such as the famous Michelson-Morley experiment and subsequent tests involving particle accelerators and high-speed particles. Special relativity forms the basis for modern physics, influencing fields ranging from particle physics to cosmology, and challenging our intuitive notions of space and time.
Christian Baumgarten added a reply:
Article The Simplest Form of the Lorentz Transformations
Waibi's answer is correct. However, the postulates of SR do not generate understanding. The referenced paper provides evidence that the math underlying SR can mostly be obtained from Hamiltonian notions. Since Hamiltonian concepts are universal in dynamical systems, the mathematical relations of SR are universal as well.

WHY EXACTLY WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY: Phenomenal Ontological Commitment (POC) as the Solution
Raphael Neelamkavil, Ph.D. (Quantum Causality), Dr. phil. (Gravitational Coalescence Cosmology)
The question of the connection between Reality-in-total and language is a question of justification for what we theorize. Justification is possible only via theory. The fact of attainment of grades of adequacy of theory with Reality means also that no theoretical attainment of justification is absolutely adequate – and the inadequate aspect is a mere virtuality without foundation in Reality. Whatever is not without foundation in Reality and its parts is a pure virtual world (PVW), and theory and related stuff based on Reality and its parts is a tenable virtual world (TVW).
Moreover, the working and results of both scientific and philosophic theory is always intertwined with (1) directly observable existents, (2) directly observable existents termed unobservables, and (3) even indirectly non-observable non-existents. Virtual worlds about (1) and (2) are TVWs and those about (3) are PVWs. How to establish the said foundation so as to distinguish between the two sorts of virtuality and to discern between (2) and (3)? I suggest some simple ways here. The general motive of all discourse being the best possible statement of truths of all that are the case and are possible in the future, there is nothing wrong here in evaluating the extent of attainment of adequacy in terms of PVW and TVW in quantum physics, cosmology, etc. in order to discover whether any theory is a PVW or a TVW. This will help establish the criteria of objectually tenable and intersubjectively accepted objectivity in science and all other sorts of discourse.
The discussion on virtual constructs and unobservables begins with a short rational introduction as to why science and its paradoxical or non-paradoxical postulations need an overhaul based on the concept of phenomena that they use. Thereafter will be shown why science has some successes even though science with its methods, procedures, and conclusions is never perfect enough and will constantly be revised. I suggest why there are successes in the quantum-physical system even though there are misplaced identifications of concreteness in quantum physics. Thereafter I proceed to define the concepts of virtual constructs (TVW and PVW) and unobservables (existent and non-existent) in terms of ontological, connotative, and denotative universals.
Just as in all thinking in general and in linguistically or symbolically formulated logical and mathematical expressions, so also in physics (and in other sciences in their own manner), there is a constant recourse to conceptual reification of modes of conceiving existent processes and their phenomena. The modes of conceiving and reification change both epochally and intra-epochally: This is a continuous process.
At times the sciences forget that, at any moment of data collection, conceptualization, hypothesis formation, experiment, and theorization, the phenomena in respect of sensation, data, thought, etc. are the showing-themselves of existent processes from within some – and not all – layers, parts, and aspects within the existent processes. It is totally out of place to substitute the realities with the phenomena, although the phenomena, insofar as they not nothing, are also existent processes. The phenomena are just a few selections from a few select layers of the reality considered. The said conceptual reification of phenomena into the whole object behind the phenomena happens by conclusions like the false identification of many statistically (or even imaginatively) constructed physical concepts of ways of explanation of phenomena, e.g., the wave function as representing at times mathematical waves and at times mathematical particles and then as the very reality of the external processes (not even of the layers of the processes) behind the actual phenomena.
Even today, many physicists and other scientists conveniently speak of observing phenomena and take phenomena variously as the objects observed or as the factual states of affairs behind the phenomena. They are not too much at fault, because they need not be in a position to distinguish between the ontological and epistemological aspects of reality, layers of reality, phenomena, data, sensation, perception, etc. For this reason, naturally, some philosophers and philosophers of science take phenomena as the objects observed. At times they commit a similar mistake by taking phenomena as reproducible factual features. If they are factual features, they should be either hypotheses or results from previous theory. If none of these, it would look as if the phenomena were closer to the theory to be produced than its data are:
phenomena are stable, reproducible, factual features of the world, for example:
. lead melts at 327.5°C., or
. pressure increases with temperature for most fixed-volume gases;
data are records produced by measurement, that are intended to represent the target phenomena, for example:
. a series of temperature readings as a piece of lead is heated up, or
. a series of pressure readings as a gas confined in a container is heated up. [Le Bihan 2017: 113]
If factual features are phenomena, these are some of the conclusions or interim conclusions within some theories. That is, for Soazig Le Bihan, who declares that she follows James Woodward and Bogan and adopts this view of theirs as straightforward and uncontroversial, puts the data epistemologically as prior to the phenomena.
Armond Duwell, for example, speak of “understanding phenomena”, “gravitational phenomena”, “quantum phenomena”, “investigating phenomena”, “phenomena associated with the two-slit experiment”, “very different representations of those phenomena”, “how these representations represent the two-slit phenomena”, “correlation phenomena associated with the EPR situations”, “one wants to represent quantum phenomena well”, “could use Bell’s theorem to explain how the phenomena and the adequacy conditions bound the possibility space”, “the modal view of understanding that no-go theorem generally increase our understanding of phenomena”, “the general theory of relativity (GTR) affording better understanding of gravitational phenomena than Newtonian theory [of, sic.] gravitation”, “an account of gravitational phenomena”, “representations of phenomena”, “false theories can afford modal understanding of phenomena insofar as they meet the adequacy conditions under consideration”, etc. [Duwell 2018: 1-4] without first admitting that the phenomena are just a few showings that arise not from the whole of the object but only from some layers of it. we do not need any extra experiment to know this as the universal case.
Later, referring to Le Bihan [2017], Duwell says: “One might distinguish between understanding phenomena and understanding the world. Understanding the world entails understanding the corresponding phenomena, but not vice versa.” [Duwell 2018: 4]
Yet another fact: It is also a common tendency among scientists and philosophers to often refer to any fact that is the case in nature, any event, as a phenomenon. That is, for some existent “things” need not be phenomena, but instead, some facts, features, and events. This too is a highly imprecise use of the notion. Take, for example, a report about the work of Erwin Schrödinger and Ludwig Boltzmann: “To our knowledge, Schrödinger’s private notes from the late 1910s […]. He noted that fluctuation phenomena could provide “a new proof of the relative validity of Boltzmann’s conception as opposed to [general] thermodynamics. Absolutely valid theories do not exist.” (transcribed in Hanle, 1975, p. 268)” [footnote 5 in: Joas and Katzir 2011: 44] Strictly speaking, fluctuation is not a phenomenon. From some layers / parts / aspects of the fluctuation there emerge some phenomena, “showings”, which create and further continue to affect the sensation and perception by embodied consciousnesses and the same happens via sensation and perception helped by apparatuses. This works as feed for further feeling, thought, action, and theory. Instead of such a notion of phenomena, the various haphazard notions of phenomena will naturally make it difficult for theory to attain their desired result.
Now arise the questions: How can one observe phenomena before, and instead of being subject to or exposed to, the phenomena from the various layers of objects or events – directly or by use of apparatuses? What are observable and to what extent are they observable: objects and events or the phenomena that are just the showings of the objects? I hold that observation of anything existent is fully through the phenomena proper and to the extent that the phenomena permit sensations and understanding. The understanding over and above this is via theoretical apparatuses and methods. According to van Fraassen, observability does not have anything to do with existence. [van Fraassen 1980: 19] He may have meant it (1) broadly: that it is impossible to contain the existent thing or event within us in the name of observing an object or event, because the phenomena are both the objects or events mixed with what are already within us in relation to the objects or events (“is, indeed, too anthropomorphic for that”), or (2) narrowly: that some or a lot of what a thing is, could be captured in observation (“it may still have much to do with the proper epistemic attitude to science”). [van Fraassen 1980: 19]
With respect to the observational detection of theoretically predictable unobservables, beyond the objectivity of the objects derived from sufficient intersubjective acceptance, the objectual aspect should be sought, which should obtain in terms of the Extension-Change Categories of all existents. This is what is most necessary in order to navigate through the phenomena in the narrow sense and avoid the confusions that will certainly be caused by following the broad sense that involves in mistaking factual features, events, etc. for phenomena. In the very phenomena related to (behind) the theory there should be something existent, without which no theory and experiment can be realistic and sensibly differentiable from the theories engendered from within the broad sense of phenomena. This is a minimum condition for the ontological commitment that a theory can hold, because even after respecting this Phenomenal Ontological Commitment (POC), the theory should follow other logical and methodological guarantees for success. This is a clear first objectual condition for the possibility of tenability in theory. With the objectual conditions of Extension and Change, which should be present in the phenomena themselves, as given by POC, we discuss the quantum-physical case below.
If at two different experimental contexts the electromagnetic propagation exhibits either the wave nature or the particle nature, these two natures cannot be termed the phenomena, but instead, as some finalized or interim conclusions within the theory. One cannot call these conclusions as objective by presuming that “objective” conclusions indicate existence. For existence to be accessed, the objectual criteria should be fulfilled in the phenomena. It should be possible to objectually imagine the existence of the phenomena. This is possible in the given case only in the wave-like motion of the phenomena by elongated particles. Only such can exist within the phenomena. This too is a conclusion about the manner of existence of the phenomena, without which the phenomena cannot exist.
No physicist needs to take this as a violation of experimental results, but instead, as a confirmation of the fact that objectually no absolute wave or particle (as mathematical objects) can exist in nature, and that any wave-like or particle-like motion must only be partially a wave or point. No wave or point can exist partially in an existent phenomenon. Hence, let us term the real electromagnetic unit as a really existent wavicle. A wavicle can hit the sides of the double slit at one of the various stages of motion of the wave shape or form of the motion, if the aspect of motion alone is taken into consideration. At the hitting it can exhibit more of the particle shape. The wave nature will be exhibited at other times represented by the more elongated aspects of the wave form of motion of the energy-carrier. Instead, at all times it should be almost in wave form, because even when there can be alterations of thickness within it, it is already thick enough not to be termed an absolute wave.
The concepts of wave and point-particle in physics are purely mathematical concepts as they are treated in the quantum-physical context of mathematical representation and calculation. In one context we posit the mathematical, absolutely non-extended, wave nature and in another the purely point-like defined, non-extended, particle nature. The fight and the resulting dilemma therefrom continue to mislead even after more than a century and will continue so into yet another. The conclusion that some physicists settle for is that energy propagations have both the natures, or at times only the one nature and at times the other. This has always served to mystify fundamental physics. I suggest that this is because (1) the phenomena have been taken by most scientists as the objects out there, (2) most physicists tend to accept mathematical representations as the actuality, (3) if the mathematical representation in the case of unit electromagnetic propagation is taken as phenomena, then they will be accepted as the reality.
One thing is common in physicists: almost everyone forgets that the concepts of wave and point-instant particle are purely geometrical in the physical use of mathematical methods; and practically none of them asks what the extent of application is of the mathematics proper onto the case of the physical wavicles, fields, and matter-energy processes in question at each given context. If physics works not on the totality of the objectual process but only via the phenomena (see the definition above), we do not have to reify mathematically pure concepts in the context of physics.

However, I am standing in a completely different position, and want to share my work with you. I hope you are interested about this completely distinct perspective.
My claim is that Einstein established a jump that is not allowed, yet everyone followed along.
Einstein and Newton's starting point is the behavior of matter through space. As such, one should find as answer something about the behavior of matter moving through space, and yet Einstein did not do that.
To make the point understandable quickly, Einstein had not yet heard about the Big Bang yet. So, while he devised his special relativity, he actually had not incorporated the most important behavior of matter through space.
Instead, he ended up hanging all behaviors of matter on spacetime. It does not matter that his calculations are correct.

We are doing research on mice in a cage, and after two years we formulated a correct framework that fully captures all possible behaviors of these mice in the cage. That's the setup.
Now comes the mistake:

Correctly, we would have said that the mice are in control of themselves, yet the cage restricts them in their behavior. We would not say that the cage controls the mice.
Totally incorrect of course, and yet that is what Einstein did. He established a reality in which matter no longer explains the behavior of matter through space, but made it space (spacetime) that explains the behavior of matter. It is a black&white position that has to be replaced by the correct framework (which is a surprise because it is not based on one aspect, but on both aspects).

Richard Feynman's idea is perfect, and there is no reason to reject it. The existence of vacuum energy, or better dark energy is consistent with Einstein's field equations with a positive cosmological constant.
The energy gain from mass or energy in motion leads to an increasing dark energy density.
The only idea which is missing, is the answer to the question: What happens with the additionally gained energy density?
As an answer to that question I propose the following working hypothese:
This energy is used to recycle star fuel from black holes.
On a first glance, this answer looks as being pure madness, because black holes with their unconvincible gravity seem to be a deposit of matter for eternity.
But in fact there is a plausible possibility. This has to do with the negative energy density of gravitational fields and the non-existence of a negatively definite energy density.
But we need open minded thinking in order to delve deeper into details.

"How do we understand special relativity?"
- the answer to this question, which is really fundamental one, since is about what is some physical theory as a whole; what really means – why and how the postulates of a theory, in this case of the SR, really are formulated, and why and how the postulates
- which in any theory fundamentally – as that happens in mathematics, where axioms fundamentally cannot be proven – aren’t proven; while are formulated only basing on some experimental data, which fundamentally prove nothing, though one experiment that is outside a theory prediction proves that this theory is either wrong, or at least its application is limited.
Returning to the SR, which is based on really first of all four postulates – the SR-1905/1908 versions relativity principle, SR-1905 also on the postulate that light propagates in 3D XYZ space with constant speed of light independently on light source/ an observer’s speeds; and, additionally,
- in both theories it is postulated (i) that fundamentally there exist no absolute Matter’s spacetime, and (ii) - [so] that all/every inertial reference frames are absolutely completely equivalent and legitimate.
In the standard now in mainstream physics SR-1908 additionally to the SR-1905 it is postulated also that observed contraction of moving bodies’ lengths, and slowing down of moving clocks tick rates, comparing with the length and tick rates when bodies and clocks are at rest in “stationary” frames, is caused by the “fundamental relativistic properties and effects”, i.e. “space contraction”, “time dilation”, etc..
Really from yet the (i) and (ii) postulates any number of really senseless consequences completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously follow, the simplest one is the Dingle objection to the SR;
- from this, by completely rigorous proof by contradiction completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously it follows , first of all, that
- Matter’s spacetime is absolute, that so some “absolute” frames that are at rest in the absolute 3DXYZ space can exist, while applications, i.e. measurements of distances and time intervals, of moving in the space inertial frames aren’t completely adequate to the objective reality; and
- there exist no the “relativistic properties and effects”.
Etc. However really the SR first of all is based on the indeed extremely mighty Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle.
That is another thing that
- according to SR-1905 relativity principle there is some extremely potent entity “light”, the constancy of which for/by some mystic reasons/ways forces moving bodies to contract and moving clocks to slow down tick rates; and
- the SR 1908 relativity principle is practically omnipotent, so the moving frames, bodies, clocks for/by some mystic reasons/ways really contract/dilate even evidently fundamental space and time.
All that above in the SR really is/are only postulated illusions of the authors, nonetheless, again, the Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle is really . extremely mighty, and the SR indeed in most cases at everyday physical practice is applied in completely accordance with the objective reality. The fundamental flaws of the SR reveal themselves only on fundamental level.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”
In the SS post above it is pointed that Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute, however to say more it is necessary to clarify - what are “space” and “time”, just because of the authors of the SR – and whole mainstream physics till now - fundamentally didn’t/don/t understand what these fundamental phenomena/notions are, the really mystic and simply fundamentally wrong things in the SR were/are introduced in this theory.
What are these phenomena/notions, and what are all other really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all in this case “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”,
- and “Matter”– and so everything in Matter, i.e. “particles”, “fundamental Nature forces” – and so “fields”, etc., which is/are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational in the mainstream philosophy and sciences, including physics,
- can be, and is, clarified only in framework of the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, and more concretely in physics in the SS&VT Planck scale informational physical model, in this case it is enough to read
More see the link above, here now only note, that, as that is rigorously scientifically rationally shown in the model, Matter absolutely for sure is some informational system of informational patterns/systems – particles, fields, stars, etc., which, as that is shown in the model, is based on a simple binary reversible logics.
So everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [4+4+1]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct); FLE “size” and “FLE binary flip time” are Planck length, lP, and Planck time, tP.
The disturbances are created in the lattice after some the lattice FLE is impacted, with transmission to it, by some non-zero at least 4D space, momentum P[boldmeans 4D vector] in utmost universal Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z). The impact causes in the lattice sequential FLE-by-FLE flipping, which, since the flipping cannot propagate in the lattice with 4D speed more than the flipping speed c=lP/tP [really at particles creation and motion c√2, more see the link, but that isn’t essential here].
Some FLE flipping above along a direct 4D line can be caused by a practically infinitesimal P impact; but if P isn’t infinitesimal, that causes flipping FLE precession and corresponding propagation of the “FLE-flipping point” in the 4D space above along some 4D helix,
- i.e. causes creation of some close-loop algorithm that cyclically runs on FLE “hardware ” with the helix’s frequency ω, having momentum P=mc above, mis inertial mass, the helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along P – particles are some “4D gyroscopes”.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS posts above it is pointed that everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of FLEs, which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, spacetime,
- and that happens always in utmost universal “kinematical” Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z), and corresponding spacetime with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z ct), where ct is the real time dimension.
At that particles, most of which compose real bodies, at every time moment exist as “FLE –flipping point” that move along some4D helixes that have frequencies ω, having 4D momentums P=mc, m are inertial masses, a helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along Pparticles are some “4D gyroscopes”.
So in Matter there exist two main types of particles – “T-particles”, which are created by momentums that are directed along the -axis [more generally – by 4D momentums cτ-components, but here that isn’t too essential], and so, if are at rest in the 3DXYZ space, move only along cτ-axis with the speed of light, and at that a T- particle’s algorithm ticks with maximal “own frequency”, the particle’s momentum is P0=m0c, where, correspondingly, m0 is the “rest mass”.
If a such T-particle, after some 3D space impact with a 3D space momentum p, moves also in 3D space with a velocity V, having 4D momentum P=P0+p, its speed along the cτ-axis decreases by the Pythagoras theorem in (1-V2/c2)1/2 , i.e. in reverse Lorentz factor,
- and, at that, despite that the helix’s frequency increases, the algorithm is “diluted by “blank” 3D space FLEs flips. So the “own frequency above” decreases in Lorentz factor, so the algorithm ticks slower; and so, say, moving clocks that are some algorithms as well, tick slower in Lorentz factor as well; if a particle algorithm has some defect, and so at every its tick it can break with some probability, so the particle is unstable and decay, such moving in 3D space particles live longer.
Nothing, of course, happens with time, there is no any the SR’s “time dilation”.
The post is rather long already, so now

Sergey Shevchenko added a reply:
So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS post above it is explained why and how internal “own” processes rates in moving having rest mass [and it is explained what is “rest mass”] particles, bodies, etc., are slowed down comparing with the case when the bodies are at rest; and to derive that it is enough to know Pythagoras theorem; Matter is rather simple logical system,
- but that isn’t a unique physical effect that differ “rest and motion”. As that is pointed in 2-nd SS post, particles are some “4D gyroscopes”, the 4D “rotation axis” of which is always directed along particles 4D momentums P.
So if a T-particle is at rest in 3D space, the axis is directed along the -axis, if the particle moves in the space, say, along X-axis, it rotates in the (X, cτ) plane so that the Cosine of the angle between P and X-axis is, again by Pythagoras theorem, equal to (1-V2/c2)1/2 , i.e. reverse Lorentz factor, while Cosine of the angle between P and cτ –axis is V/c.
If particles constitute some moving rigid body that has, if is at rest in 3D space, length L, they rotate the body as a whole in the (X, cτ) plane on the angle above, and so:
(i) - the body’s length 3D space observable projection is contracted comparing with when it is at rest in inverse Lorentz factor, what is observed experimentally, say, that was yet at M&M experiments, at that, of course , nothing happens with the 3D space; any postulated in the SR “space contraction” fundamentally cannot, and so doesn’t exist; and
(ii) - the body’s front end has lesser coordinate value on the cτ –axis than the back end, the difference is correspondingly –VL/c.
Since the Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle is indeed extremely mighty, motion of everything in real time ct-dimension in mainstream physics, and, of course, in everyday humans practice, till now isn’t observed, so in the mainstream the rather specific really space - dimension is used as the time dimension in both – classical 4D Euclidian with [usual, when t-coordinate isn’t multiplied by the c constant ] metrics (t,X,Y,Z) , and the SR Minkowski with metrics (it,X,Y,Z) [“i” is imaginary unit], spacetimes.
So in this metrics a moving body’s front end is “younger” than the back end on –VL/c2,
- what is the Voigt-Lorentz decrement in the Lorentz transformations.
Correspondingly, if we remember that moving body’s [including moving reference frames] clocks showings are slowed comparing with the rest case, and that
Lorentz transformations – quite equally as that Galileo transformations are also, really are equation of motion of points of the moving body’s [including systems of the bodies that are inertial reference frames systems of scaled rulers and specifically synchronized distant clocks] in a stationary “K” frame with using data of measurements that are made in the moving “K’ ” frame,
- we above, by using Pythagoras theorem, derived these transformations.
At that, again – these equations/transformations relate only to points of rigid bodies /rigid systems of bodies that they occupy in the 4D space /mainstream spacetime at a current time moment. If in a system the bodies are free, that above, including the Lorentz transformations, is applicable only limitedly, so, say, the Bell paradox exists,
- but what is much more important in this case, by using a system of free bodies it is possible to observe motion of the bodies in the absolute 3D space and to measure the absolute velocity of a system, while, say, Poincaré stated that that is impossible. Corresponding experiments were proposed yet in 2013-16 , more see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259463954_Measurement_of_the_absolute_speed_is_possible

Sergey Shevchenko added a reply:
So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS post above some introductive clarification of what is the SR, and what happens in Matter really, relates mostly to physics and physical practice when the Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle really practically completely acts; and so the SR is well applicable [and the case when doesn’t act completely, so it is possible to observe the 3D absolute motion], is given,
- here below a few comments that relate to cases where the SR isn’t applicable, and so its application resulted/results in some really strange/mystic things in mainstream physics.
First of all that happens because on the SR Matter’s spacetime is 4D , and, while the strange fact that in the SR time coordinate is imaginary, really isn’t too essential – as that Poincaré showed in 1905, Lorentz transformations can be derived by condition that the quadratic form s2= x2+y2+z2-(ct)2 is invariant in a 4D “spacetime”, where the time coordinate is imaginary. That is another thing, that while for Poincaré that was interesting mathematical result, Matter’s spacetime is, of course Euclidian one, but Minkowski postulated that this spacetime is real Matter’s spacetime.
But, again, really all what humans, as they think, observe in 4D Euclidian/Minkowski spacetime, they really observe only in 4D space, while the utmost universal “kinematical” real Matter’s spacetime has [5]4D metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z, ct) [in the mainstream the space cτ-dimension is the time t/ct-dimension].
Correspondingly in the SR [and in classical mechanics] energy of a particle/body is [as √from] E2= (m0c2)2+p2c2– what is “Hamiltonian” , while really that is equation for absolute value of 4D momentum P [more see the SS posts above], by Pythagoras theorem P2=(m0c)2+p2,
- where m0 and m0care particle/body rest mass, and Pmomentum’s cτ-component; pis 3DXYZ space momentum/3D Pspatial component.
So in mainstream QM Hamiltonian is energy operator Ĥ, which was used in indeed nice 1928 Dirac’s derivation of relativistic electron Ψ-function time dependent equation, iћ∂Ψ/∂t= ĤΨ.
In this case really the non-adequacy of SR spacetime metrics above revealed itself in that this equation [though that relates also to Schrödinger equation] the evidently derivative by time dimension variable – while in QM derivatives by space dimensions variables are momentums operators is, as that is postulated in QM the energy operator;
- and, at that, the equation really was valid for ± Ĥ. So to interpret the negative Hamiltonian Dirac assumed existence of some really evidently mystic “sea of negative energies” and states of some particles in this sea.
Nonetheless particles “positrons”, which, of course, have quite positive energy, were really detected.
In the late 1940 to fit quantum electrodynamics with experiments it was necessary to introduce in QED “Feynman–Stueckelberg interpretation”, where antiparticles for/by some mystic reason and way move back in time, while really in time only motion in the positive direction is possible.
All these mystic points in QED [including in Dirac’s equation] become to be quite natural in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model, in this case more see
- really the operator ∂/∂t is quite naturally momentum P operator, which relates not to the scalar always positive E, but to vector, which can have ±directions, as that in QED assumed, etc.
The post is long already, so now

Sergey Shevchenko
Thank you, Sergey, for lots and lots of information. I am just picking one aspect to focus the discussion.
"Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute."
I fully agree here but only if I understand you correctly. It is matter that is the source for spacetime; space and time are actually not part of the discussion. Rather, all words apply to the behavior of matter and nothing of these words applies to space or time. though the words are implying they are.
Einstein did not yet know about the Big Bang when he wrote his relativity theories. That means he completely missed out on the most important behavior for matter.
With the Big Bang, we have matter moving at its fastest speed in a singular direction.
In plain English: a straight line for matter will not be based on gravity.
So, there are four motions for matter, and Einstein's spacetime is based on just three of the four.
First Motion: matter moving through space in a straight line.
Second Motion: matter moving collectively in galaxies, circular motion.
Third Motion: matter revolving as planets around stars, circular motion.
Fourth Motion: Planets spinning (moons in tow), circular motion.
Einstein worked with Second, Third, and Fourth Motion. He did not know about the First Motion.
Since his motions are all gravity-based and the First Motion is not gravity-based, Einstein did not have to recalibrate spacetime to end up with correct answers. Because... spacetime is not about all motions of matter but only about matter's behaviors in light of gravity.
That is the point I'd like to discuss, Sergey. Do you agree that spacetime was taken out of its limited (and correct) context of matter in their gravitational settings, and that this got applied by others incorrectly to the universe as a whole?

In the standard now in mainstream physics SR-1908 additionally to the SR-1905 it is postulated also that observed contraction of moving bodies’ lengths, and slowing down of moving clocks tick rates, comparing with the length and tick rates when bodies and clocks are at rest in “stationary” frames, is caused by the “fundamental relativistic properties and effects”, i.e. “space contraction”, “time dilation”, etc..
Really from yet the (i) and (ii) postulates any number of really senseless consequences completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously follow, the simplest one is the Dingle objection to the SR;
- from this, by completely rigorous proof by contradiction completely directly, rigorously, and unambiguously it follows , first of all, that
- Matter’s spacetime is absolute, that so some “absolute” frames that are at rest in the absolute 3DXYZ space can exist, while applications, i.e. measurements of distances and time intervals, of moving in the space inertial frames aren’t completely adequate to the objective reality; and
- there exist no the “relativistic properties and effects”.
Etc. However really the SR first of all is based on the indeed extremely mighty Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle.
That is another thing that
- according to SR-1905 relativity principle there is some extremely potent entity “light”, the constancy of which for/by some mystic reasons/ways forces moving bodies to contract and moving clocks to slow down tick rates; and
- the SR 1908 relativity principle is practically omnipotent, so the moving frames, bodies, clocks for/by some mystic reasons/ways really contract/dilate even evidently fundamental space and time.
All that above in the SR really is/are only postulated illusions of the authors, nonetheless, again, the Galileo- Poincaré relativity principle is really . extremely mighty, and the SR indeed in most cases at everyday physical practice is applied in completely accordance with the objective reality. The fundamental flaws of the SR reveal themselves only on fundamental level.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”
In the SS post above it is pointed that Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute, however to say more it is necessary to clarify - what are “space” and “time”, just because of the authors of the SR – and whole mainstream physics till now - fundamentally didn’t/don/t understand what these fundamental phenomena/notions are, the really mystic and simply fundamentally wrong things in the SR were/are introduced in this theory.
What are these phenomena/notions, and what are all other really fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all in this case “Space”, “Time”, “Energy”, “Information”,
- and “Matter”– and so everything in Matter, i.e. “particles”, “fundamental Nature forces” – and so “fields”, etc., which is/are fundamentally completely transcendent/uncertain/irrational in the mainstream philosophy and sciences, including physics,
- can be, and is, clarified only in framework of the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s philosophical 2007 “The Information as Absolute” conception, and more concretely in physics in the SS&VT Planck scale informational physical model, in this case it is enough to read
More see the link above, here now only note, that, as that is rigorously scientifically rationally shown in the model, Matter absolutely for sure is some informational system of informational patterns/systems – particles, fields, stars, etc., which, as that is shown in the model, is based on a simple binary reversible logics.
So everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of primary elementary logical structures – (at least) [4+4+1]4D binary reversible fundamental logical elements [FLE], which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, (at least) [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct); FLE “size” and “FLE binary flip time” are Planck length, lP, and Planck time, tP.
The disturbances are created in the lattice after some the lattice FLE is impacted, with transmission to it, by some non-zero at least 4D space, momentum P[boldmeans 4D vector] in utmost universal Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z). The impact causes in the lattice sequential FLE-by-FLE flipping, which, since the flipping cannot propagate in the lattice with 4D speed more than the flipping speed c=lP/tP [really at particles creation and motion c√2, more see the link, but that isn’t essential here].
Some FLE flipping above along a direct 4D line can be caused by a practically infinitesimal P impact; but if P isn’t infinitesimal, that causes flipping FLE precession and corresponding propagation of the “FLE-flipping point” in the 4D space above along some 4D helix,
- i.e. causes creation of some close-loop algorithm that cyclically runs on FLE “hardware ” with the helix’s frequency ω, having momentum P=mc above, mis inertial mass, the helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along P – particles are some “4D gyroscopes”.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS posts above it is pointed that everything that exists and happens in Matter is/are some disturbances in the Matter’s ultimate base – the (at least) [4+4+1]4D dense lattice of FLEs, which [lattice] is placed in the Matter’s fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, spacetime,
- and that happens always in utmost universal “kinematical” Matter’s space with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z), and corresponding spacetime with metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z ct), where ct is the real time dimension.
At that particles, most of which compose real bodies, at every time moment exist as “FLE –flipping point” that move along some4D helixes that have frequencies ω, having 4D momentums P=mc, m are inertial masses, a helix radius is λ=λ/P;
- and the helix’s 4D “ axis” is always directed along Pparticles are some “4D gyroscopes”.
So in Matter there exist two main types of particles – “T-particles”, which are created by momentums that are directed along the -axis [more generally – by 4D momentums cτ-components, but here that isn’t too essential], and so, if are at rest in the 3DXYZ space, move only along cτ-axis with the speed of light, and at that a T- particle’s algorithm ticks with maximal “own frequency”, the particle’s momentum is P0=m0c, where, correspondingly, m0 is the “rest mass”.
If a such T-particle, after some 3D space impact with a 3D space momentum p, moves also in 3D space with a velocity V, having 4D momentum P=P0+p, its speed along the cτ-axis decreases by the Pythagoras theorem in (1-V2/c2)1/2 , i.e. in reverse Lorentz factor,
- and, at that, despite that the helix’s frequency increases, the algorithm is “diluted by “blank” 3D space FLEs flips. So the “own frequency above” decreases in Lorentz factor, so the algorithm ticks slower; and so, say, moving clocks that are some algorithms as well, tick slower in Lorentz factor as well; if a particle algorithm has some defect, and so at every its tick it can break with some probability, so the particle is unstable and decay, such moving in 3D space particles live longer.
Nothing, of course, happens with time, there is no any the SR’s “time dilation”.

Roggers Waibi added a reply
As proposed by Albert Einstein, Special relativity fundamentally transforms our understanding of space, time, and the nature of reality. At its core, special relativity postulates two key principles: the constancy of the speed of light and the relativity of simultaneity. The former states that the speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion. This principle defies common intuition but has been rigorously confirmed by experiments. The latter principle, the relativity of simultaneity, suggests that events that appear simultaneous to one observer may not be simultaneous to another observer in relative motion. Special relativity introduces the concept of spacetime, wherein space and time are intertwined, and observers in relative motion will experience time dilation and length contraction effects. These phenomena have been validated through numerous experiments, such as the famous Michelson-Morley experiment and subsequent tests involving particle accelerators and high-speed particles. Special relativity forms the basis for modern physics, influencing fields ranging from particle physics to cosmology, and challenging our intuitive notions of space and time.

Article The Simplest Form of the Lorentz Transformations
Waibi's answer is correct. However, the postulates of SR do not generate understanding. The referenced paper provides evidence that the math underlying SR can mostly be obtained from Hamiltonian notions. Since Hamiltonian concepts are universal in dynamical systems, the mathematical relations of SR are universal as well.
Sergey Shevchenko added a reply
Rather detailed consideration of what the SR is see in series of SS posts in this thread sister https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_do_we_understand_special_relativity/2, pages 1,2;
So here only a few notes to
“…Special relativity introduces the concept of spacetime, wherein space and time are intertwined, and observers in relative motion will experience time dilation and length contraction effects. ..”
- really the concept of spacetime, wherein space and time are intertwined is fundamentally wrong.
Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally unique, fundamentally absolute, fundamentally flat, fundamentally continuous, and fundamentally “Cartesian”, ( [4+4+1]4D spacetime with metrics (at least) (cτ,X,Y,Z, g,w,e,s,ct), where all dimensions fundamentally are independent on each other; utmost universal – “kinematic” spacetime has metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z,ct),
- and, of course, fundamentally there cannot be any intertwining of any dimensions, any “time dilations”, “space contraction”, etc.
So that
“….These phenomena have been validated through numerous experiments, such as the famous Michelson-Morley experiment and subsequent tests involving particle accelerators and high-speed particles…
- really is quite incorrect. No any “intertwining” , “time dilations”, “space contraction” weren’t experimentally observed – that is fundamentally impossible. All what indeed is observed is/are real contraction of moving bodies lengths, slowing tick rates of moving clocks and intrinsic processes rates in unstable particles,
- but bodies aren’t “space” – though, of course are in space; clocks aren’t “time” though, of course tick in time, which [space and time] compose fundamentally only an empty container where everything in Matter exists and changes.
Though that
“….Special relativity forms the basis for modern physics, influencing fields ranging from particle physics to cosmology, and challenging our intuitive notions of space and time…”
- is essentially correct, since the SR is based on the indeed extremely mighty Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle; and so in everyday physical practice the fact that in the SR the relativity principle is absolutized up to absurd/illusory real interactions of particles, bodies, reference frames, etc., with space/time/spacetime is inessential. Again more see the pointed above SS posts in the linked sister thread.

"How do we understand special relativity?"
The Quantum FFF Model differences: What are the main differences of Q-FFFTheory with the standard model? 1, A Fermion repelling- and producing electric dark matter black hole. 2, An electric dark matter black hole splitting Big Bang with a 12x distant symmetric instant entangled raspberry multiverse result, each with copy Lyman Alpha forests. 3, Fermions are real propeller shaped rigid convertible strings with dual spin and also instant multiverse entanglement ( Charge Parity symmetric) . 4, The vacuum is a dense tetrahedral shaped lattice with dual oscillating massless Higgs particles ( dark energy). 5, All particles have consciousness by their instant entanglement relation between 12 copy universes, however, humans have about 500 m.sec retardation to veto an act. ( Benjamin Libet) It was Abdus Salam who proposed that quarks and leptons should have a sub-quantum level structure, and that they are compound hardrock particles with a specific non-zero sized form. Jean Paul Vigier postulated that quarks and leptons are "pushed around" by an energetic sea of vacuum particles. 6 David Bohm suggested in contrast with The "Copenhagen interpretation", that reality is not created by the eye of the human observer, and second: elementary particles should be "guided by a pilot wave". John Bell argued that the motion of mass related to the surrounding vacuum reference frame, should originate real "Lorentz-transformations", and also real relativistic measurable contraction. Richard Feynman postulated the idea of an all pervading energetic quantum vacuum. He rejected it, because it should originate resistance for every mass in motion, relative to the reference frame of the quantum vacuum. However, I postulate the strange and counter intuitive possibility, that this resistance for mass in motion, can be compensated, if we combine the ideas of Vigier, Bell, Bohm and Salam, and a new dual universal Bohmian "pilot wave", which is interpreted as the EPR correlation (or Big Bang entanglement) between individual elementary anti-mirror particles, living in dual universes.

A lot to work with, Abbas.
However, I am standing in a completely different position, and want to share my work with you. I hope you are interested about this completely distinct perspective.
My claim is that Einstein established a jump that is not allowed, yet everyone followed along.
Einstein and Newton's starting point is the behavior of matter through space. As such, one should find as answer something about the behavior of matter moving through space, and yet Einstein did not do that.
To make the point understandable quickly, Einstein had not yet heard about the Big Bang yet. So, while he devised his special relativity, he actually had not incorporated the most important behavior of matter through space.
Instead, he ended up hanging all behaviors of matter on spacetime. It does not matter that his calculations are correct.
--
Let me find a simple example to show what is going on.
We are doing research on mice in a cage, and after two years we formulated a correct framework that fully captures all possible behaviors of these mice in the cage. That's the setup.
Now comes the mistake:
The conclusion is that the cage controls the mice in their behaviors.
Correctly, we would have said that the mice are in control of themselves, yet the cage restricts them in their behavior. We would not say that the cage controls the mice.
Totally incorrect of course, and yet that is what Einstein did. He established a reality in which matter no longer explains the behavior of matter through space, but made it space (spacetime) that explains the behavior of matter. It is a black&white position that has to be replaced by the correct framework (which is a surprise because it is not based on one aspect, but on both aspects).

I know I am writing you from a perspective not often mentioned, and it may not interest you. I'll find out if you are interested in delving deeper into this or not.
Here is an article in which I delve into this matter more deeply:

Wolfgang Konle added a reply:
"Richard Feynman postulated the idea of an all pervading energetic quantum vacuum. He rejected it, because it should originate resistance for every mass in motion, relative to the reference frame of the quantum vacuum."
Richard Feynman's idea is perfect, and there is no reason to reject it. The existence of vacuum energy, or better dark energy is consistent with Einstein's field equations with a positive cosmological constant.
The energy gain from mass or energy in motion leads to an increasing dark energy density.
The only idea which is missing, is the answer to the question: What happens with the additionally gained energy density?
As an answer to that question I propose the following working hypothese:
This energy is used to recycle star fuel from black holes.
On a first glance, this answer looks as being pure madness, because black holes with their unconvincible gravity seem to be a deposit of matter for eternity.
But in fact there is a plausible possibility. This has to do with the negative energy density of gravitational fields and the non-existence of a negatively definite energy density.
But we need open minded thinking in order to delve deeper into details.

- the answer to this question, which is really fundamental one, since is about what is some physical theory as a whole; what really means – why and how the postulates of a theory, in this case of the SR, really are formulated, and why and how the postulates
- which in any theory fundamentally – as that happens in mathematics, where axioms fundamentally cannot be proven – aren’t proven; while are formulated only basing on some experimental data, which fundamentally prove nothing, though one experiment that is outside a theory prediction proves that this theory is either wrong, or at least its application is limited.

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS post above it is explained why and how internal “own” processes rates in moving having rest mass [and it is explained what is “rest mass”] particles, bodies, etc., are slowed down comparing with the case when the bodies are at rest; and to derive that it is enough to know Pythagoras theorem; Matter is rather simple logical system,
- but that isn’t a unique physical effect that differ “rest and motion”. As that is pointed in 2-nd SS post, particles are some “4D gyroscopes”, the 4D “rotation axis” of which is always directed along particles 4D momentums P.
So if a T-particle is at rest in 3D space, the axis is directed along the -axis, if the particle moves in the space, say, along X-axis, it rotates in the (X, cτ) plane so that the Cosine of the angle between P and X-axis is, again by Pythagoras theorem, equal to (1-V2/c2)1/2 , i.e. reverse Lorentz factor, while Cosine of the angle between P and cτ –axis is V/c.
If particles constitute some moving rigid body that has, if is at rest in 3D space, length L, they rotate the body as a whole in the (X, cτ) plane on the angle above, and so:
(i) - the body’s length 3D space observable projection is contracted comparing with when it is at rest in inverse Lorentz factor, what is observed experimentally, say, that was yet at M&M experiments, at that, of course , nothing happens with the 3D space; any postulated in the SR “space contraction” fundamentally cannot, and so doesn’t exist; and
(ii) - the body’s front end has lesser coordinate value on the cτ –axis than the back end, the difference is correspondingly –VL/c.
Since the Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle is indeed extremely mighty, motion of everything in real time ct-dimension in mainstream physics, and, of course, in everyday humans practice, till now isn’t observed, so in the mainstream the rather specific really space - dimension is used as the time dimension in both – classical 4D Euclidian with [usual, when t-coordinate isn’t multiplied by the c constant ] metrics (t,X,Y,Z) , and the SR Minkowski with metrics (it,X,Y,Z) [“i” is imaginary unit], spacetimes.
So in this metrics a moving body’s front end is “younger” than the back end on –VL/c2,
- what is the Voigt-Lorentz decrement in the Lorentz transformations.
Correspondingly, if we remember that moving body’s [including moving reference frames] clocks showings are slowed comparing with the rest case, and that
Lorentz transformations – quite equally as that Galileo transformations are also, really are equation of motion of points of the moving body’s [including systems of the bodies that are inertial reference frames systems of scaled rulers and specifically synchronized distant clocks] in a stationary “K” frame with using data of measurements that are made in the moving “K’ ” frame,
- we above, by using Pythagoras theorem, derived these transformations.
At that, again – these equations/transformations relate only to points of rigid bodies /rigid systems of bodies that they occupy in the 4D space /mainstream spacetime at a current time moment. If in a system the bodies are free, that above, including the Lorentz transformations, is applicable only limitedly, so, say, the Bell paradox exists,
- but what is much more important in this case, by using a system of free bodies it is possible to observe motion of the bodies in the absolute 3D space and to measure the absolute velocity of a system, while, say, Poincaré stated that that is impossible. Corresponding experiments were proposed yet in 2013-16 , more see https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259463954_Measurement_of_the_absolute_speed_is_possible

So let’s continue about what is “special relativity”.
In the SS post above some introductive clarification of what is the SR, and what happens in Matter really, relates mostly to physics and physical practice when the Galileo-Poincaré relativity principle really practically completely acts; and so the SR is well applicable [and the case when doesn’t act completely, so it is possible to observe the 3D absolute motion], is given,
- here below a few comments that relate to cases where the SR isn’t applicable, and so its application resulted/results in some really strange/mystic things in mainstream physics.
First of all that happens because on the SR Matter’s spacetime is 4D , and, while the strange fact that in the SR time coordinate is imaginary, really isn’t too essential – as that Poincaré showed in 1905, Lorentz transformations can be derived by condition that the quadratic form s2= x2+y2+z2-(ct)2 is invariant in a 4D “spacetime”, where the time coordinate is imaginary. That is another thing, that while for Poincaré that was interesting mathematical result, Matter’s spacetime is, of course Euclidian one, but Minkowski postulated that this spacetime is real Matter’s spacetime.
But, again, really all what humans, as they think, observe in 4D Euclidian/Minkowski spacetime, they really observe only in 4D space, while the utmost universal “kinematical” real Matter’s spacetime has [5]4D metrics (cτ,X,Y,Z, ct) [in the mainstream the space cτ-dimension is the time t/ct-dimension].
Correspondingly in the SR [and in classical mechanics] energy of a particle/body is [as √from] E2= (m0c2)2+p2c2– what is “Hamiltonian” , while really that is equation for absolute value of 4D momentum P [more see the SS posts above], by Pythagoras theorem P2=(m0c)2+p2,
- where m0 and m0care particle/body rest mass, and Pmomentum’s cτ-component; pis 3DXYZ space momentum/3D Pspatial component.
So in mainstream QM Hamiltonian is energy operator Ĥ, which was used in indeed nice 1928 Dirac’s derivation of relativistic electron Ψ-function time dependent equation, iћ∂Ψ/∂t= ĤΨ.
In this case really the non-adequacy of SR spacetime metrics above revealed itself in that this equation [though that relates also to Schrödinger equation] the evidently derivative by time dimension variable – while in QM derivatives by space dimensions variables are momentums operators is, as that is postulated in QM the energy operator;
- and, at that, the equation really was valid for ± Ĥ. So to interpret the negative Hamiltonian Dirac assumed existence of some really evidently mystic “sea of negative energies” and states of some particles in this sea.
Nonetheless particles “positrons”, which, of course, have quite positive energy, were really detected.
In the late 1940 to fit quantum electrodynamics with experiments it was necessary to introduce in QED “Feynman–Stueckelberg interpretation”, where antiparticles for/by some mystic reason and way move back in time, while really in time only motion in the positive direction is possible.
All these mystic points in QED [including in Dirac’s equation] become to be quite natural in the Shevchenko-Tokarevsky’s Planck scale informational physical model, in this case more see
- really the operator ∂/∂t is quite naturally momentum P operator, which relates not to the scalar always positive E, but to vector, which can have ±directions, as that in QED assumed, etc.

Sergey Shevchenko
Thank you, Sergey, for lots and lots of information. I am just picking one aspect to focus the discussion.
"Matter’s spacetime is fundamentally absolute."
I fully agree here but only if I understand you correctly. It is matter that is the source for spacetime; space and time are actually not part of the discussion. Rather, all words apply to the behavior of matter and nothing of these words applies to space or time. though the words are implying they are.
Einstein did not yet know about the Big Bang when he wrote his relativity theories. That means he completely missed out on the most important behavior for matter.
With the Big Bang, we have matter moving at its fastest speed in a singular direction.
In plain English: a straight line for matter will not be based on gravity.
So, there are four motions for matter, and Einstein's spacetime is based on just three of the four.
First Motion: matter moving through space in a straight line.
Second Motion: matter moving collectively in galaxies, circular motion.
Third Motion: matter revolving as planets around stars, circular motion.
Fourth Motion: Planets spinning (moons in tow), circular motion.
Einstein worked with Second, Third, and Fourth Motion. He did not know about the First Motion.
Since his motions are all gravity-based and the First Motion is not gravity-based, Einstein did not have to recalibrate spacetime to end up with correct answers. Because... spacetime is not about all motions of matter but only about matter's behaviors in light of gravity.
That is the point I'd like to discuss, Sergey. Do you agree that spacetime was taken out of its limited (and correct) context of matter in their gravitational settings, and that this got applied by others incorrectly to the universe as a whole?

Make it simple, we rederived relativity from the point, Time is a dynamic operator (movement of the wave function) when one defines "time" this way, one could say according to our model, that special relativity is understanding,
when a wave function is at a given tensor in the bulk, another wave function in the bulk, at another tensor, is also fluctuating at that same state of existence (frame of existence).
if one considers the Hubble constant, the gravitational field, the given commuting fields (effected), and the elaborated tensors, rolled into one matrix, your given the table that effects the parameters that make up "time" or the local propagation speed of existence.
see? simple. not even one paragraph.

Special Relativity (SR) is based on the 4-dimensional flat Pseudo-Eukledian space E4 (flat space-time) --- the Minkowski space. It is flat, as its 4-dimensional curvature is zero. SR does not include gravitational fields in principle, because gravitatiion is llnked directly with the spatial derivative of time component of the metric tensor g_00 (it is 1 in SR).

The answer must separate the relativistic dynamics (mas function and Einstein's equation, founded on the classical physics and logic, from the kinematical speculations calling in question the reality of space and time.

The aim of this study was to examine the validity, reliability, and utility of a method for evaluating the characteristics of the counter movement jump. Fifty-two male track and field athletes (sprinters or decathletes) jumped from a 30-cm platform and consciously changed their counter movement times. This study determined the counter movement time...
