Selleri Theory Not Equivalent to the Special Theory of Relativity and a Related Note on H.P. Robertson 1949 Paper

Abstract

In the present paper, I dispel the belief that the transformation developed by F. Selleri is equivalent to the Lorentz transformation, thus dispelling the misconception that his alternative theory is equivalent to Einstein’s special theory of relativity. In the current paper I present an argument that has not been shown before aimed at settling the dispute. I demonstrate that the Selleri transformation is not equivalent to the Lorentz transformation by reasons of predicting different results for relativistic aberration.
