Abstract
This paper builds upon an earlier paper that re-derived the formulas for the physical Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction and the Lorentz mass increase based on speed relative to the Fresnel dragged reference frame and on the isotropic speed of light in that reference frame. The acceptance of a real physical contraction and mass increase means that the density of a body, and therefore its refractive index and Fresnel drag, will also increase. It is shown that based upon this reasoning, the speed achievable for a sizeable mass (i.e. as opposed to an isolated sub-atomic particle) and a desired mass increase is further beyond the speed of light than specified in the earlier paper.
