252 The relativity principle

Abstract:

As long as one believed that all of physics gas E9, fundedi9n Newtonls equatiOns of metiont one therefore could not d0ubt that the laws of nature are the same without regard to which of the coordinate systems moving uniformly (without acceleration) relative to each other they are referred. However, this independence from the state of motion of the system of coordinates used, which we will call" the principle of relativity," seemed to have been suddenly pg called into question by the brilliant confirmations of HA Lorentz's E electrodynamics of moving bodies. 1 That theory is built on the presupposition of a resting, immovable, luminiferous ether; its basic equations are not such that they transfbrm to equations of the same form when the above transformation equations are applied. 4 ‘After the acceptance of that theory, one had to expect that one would luminiferous ether on optical phenomena. It is true that in the study …
