Excerpt from Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View, of the Theory of Relativity
To cover up a general standpoint under a mass of detail is to run the risk of obscuring it altogether. There is always the danger that the reader may not be able to see the wood for the trees - a danger which is becoming very real in much modern mathematics.
The substance of the following essay was originally intended by the writer to form a chapter of a book of semi-philosophical character upon which he is engaged.
In view, however, of the amount of attention which the subject of Relativity is at present attracting, it seemed to him that this portion might prove of sufficient interest to warrant its separate publication.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel perspective on the foundations of geometry, challenging the notion that axioms are merely logical constructs. The author argues that they have a physical basis rooted in optical phenomena. The author demonstrates how geometry can be viewed as a language for describing the propagation of light, introducing the concept of "index" as a measure of time. This index serves as a means to establish a reciprocal relationship between moving particles, allowing for the calculation of distances and angles in a moving system. The theory presented aligns with Einstein's relativity principles and provides insights into the nature of space and time, offering a deeper understanding of the physical world and the relationship between geometry and the laws of physics.
