- Asking whether AEST (Absolute Euclidean Spacetime) models work, in the sense of giving the correct predictions?
I was reading a paper by J.M.C Montanus which was published in <low quality journal reference removed> in which he claims under AEST the new gravitational dynamics and electrodynamics are reformulated in close correspondence with classical physics, and subsequently leads to the correct predictions for the deflection of light and the precession of perihelia while being based on a flat spacetime. My question is, does the AEST approach work, while preserving proper time momentum, and flat Euclidean spacetime (even with gravity), or are there problems with it?
[As a side issue, the idea behind AEST seems linked to the ideas in Lewis Carroll Epstein's "myth" (apparently published in the book "Relativity Visualized" in 1981) in which everything moves at the speed of light. I have attached a picture from David Eckstein's explanation of the book, showing how the time dilation, length contraction, and relativity of simultaneousness.]
