Abstract

A new fundamental derivation for the Lorentz Transformation (LT) is presented. This fundamental derivation ends the physical role of the LT and removes the kinematical effects in the original derivation [1]. In several recent papers we demonstrated that by choosing new sets of postulates including the classical physics laws within the main body of Einstein?s special relativity theory (SRT) and applying the classical relativity principle it is possible to derive the fundamental relativistic equations pertaining to relativistic particle without using the LT. In the present paper, and by following the same approach, we get the LT without the classical approach (and what Einstein considered to be central consequence to his postulates); i.e. the LT, becomes secondary not fundamental. Hence, this paper demonstrates that in contrast to Einstein LT with its kinematical effects, the LT produced by our alternative method is simply a natural transformation, containing no physical significance.
