phenomena of time which aims at explaining why time passes for us1. The basis for our investigation is a fundamental distinction between two views. Science can be understood as an attempt to construct a God-like, outside view of the world we live in. However, all our experiences and measurements take place inside this world, and are results of inte...
For the special theory of relativity, the normalization problem is formulated as the question of how observers in constant relative motion may reach an agreement on space and time scales. Because the normalization problem does not receive a thorough treatment in the standard development of the theory, two possible solutions, called normalization at...
According to the standard interpretation of the special theory of relativity, space and time form a unity, which is described by the so-called Minkowski geometry. Using a distinction between inside and outside views, an alternative interpretation of special relativity can be formulated. This interpretation is connected to the construction of an out...

... All physical clocks and meter sticks are invariant and can be used in any coordinate system. We do not need any additional "normalization" like proposed by Winkler [2] Now let us turn to acceleration. Physically we can imagine deformation-less movement with acceleration in a case of gravitational forces, or in a case of absolutely rigid stick. ...
... The standard interpretation of relativity theory does not provide an intuitive interface – not even to the physicist -for more general theorizing about space and time. In [5,6] we have shown that a much simpler interpretation of relativity theory is possible. The Minkowski geometry of the standard interpretation, which treats space and time in a still different way, can be replaced by an outside view consisting in a 4- dimensional and fully Euclidean 3 geometry that lacks any fundamental difference between space and time dimensions. ...
