Lezioni di relatività — da Einstein all'etere di Lorentz ("Lectures on Relativity — from Einstein to Lorentz's Aether") is a 2003 Italian-language book by the physicist Franco Selleri, published by Progedit.
Overview
The book presents Selleri's lectures on the theory of relativity and develops his neo-Lorentzian critique of it. Selleri argues that a preferred reference frame — associated with a Lorentzian aether — is preferable to Einstein's relativity of simultaneity, and presents his "inertial transformations," a one-parameter family of coordinate transformations that restore absolute simultaneity while remaining compatible with experiment.
About the author
