Maers&#039;&#039;&#039; is a researcher known for proposing, with Randy Wayne of Cornell University, an alternative approach to the theory of special relativity based on the Doppler effect. He is listed in &#039;&#039;[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ==Work==<br /> Maers and Wayne authored &quot;Rethinking the Foundations of the Theory of Special Relativity: Stellar Aberration and the Fizeau Experiment&quot; (arXiv:1105.2305, 2011). They propose a relativistic wave equation founded on what they call the primacy of the Doppler effect, which they argue accounts for the propagation of light between two inertial frames — including stellar aberration and the results of the Fizeau moving-water experiment — without introducing the relativity of space and time. They also reported a laboratory reconstruction of the Fizeau experiment using laser light and digital image analysis. The work appeared in arXiv&#039;s General Physics section and its reinterpretation of special relativity is not accepted by the mainstream physics community.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [https://arxiv.org/abs/1105.2305 &quot;Rethinking the Foundations of the Theory of Special Relativity&quot; (arXiv:1105.2305)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scientist|Maers Anthony]]<br /> [[Category:Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]</div>
