The optical measurement speed of moving bodies and the observer's position effect

Abstract

From ancient times to the Newtonian mechanics system, people defaulted to the speed of light as infinity. People usually measure the speed of a moving object directly with the help of optical or electronic equipment and take the measured speed as the actual speed of the object. In fact, the speed of light is limited. When an object moves at high speed, we must correct the measured speed of the object. However, at present, people only use Einstein's special theory of relativity to deal with the high-speed motion of objects, and there is no theory to correct the measured speed of objects under the condition of high-speed motion. Here, we report that the optical measurement speed of an object is affected by the observer's position effect and obtain the relationship between the optical measurement speed and the actual speed. On this basis, this paper explains the reason why Newton's classical mechanics is suitable for the case of low-speed motion, and there is a large deviation between the optical measurement speed and the actual speed under the condition of high-speed motion. This paper also explains the velocity limit of high-energy particles and the phenomena of superluminal and negative velocity and analyzes the observation of microparticle motion. This paper provides a theory to explain and deal with the high-speed motion of objects, which is of great scientific significance.
