[General] Role of observer, a deeper path to introspection

Albrecht:

Thank you for Einsein's Paper especially a german version. As I said I 
can no longer remember the exact reference for the formula and but it 
was a book edited by Sommerfeld " The principle of Relativity" in which 
several of Einsteins papers were translated into english. I'll try to 
chase it down.

I'm sorry I do not find your references to synchotron experiments that 
prove the speed of light is constant, I do have your thesis experiment 
but thought this pertained to the photon question , nor can I find your 
equation of the change in c in a gravitational field.

But in any case is the formula mc^2 = m_0 c_0 ^2 *(1/(1 + 2x/c_0 ^2 -v^2 
/c_0 ^2 )^1/2 ) = ~  m_0 c_0 ^2 + mx - (1/2)v^2 where "x" the local 
gravitational potential,  not correct for a single mass particle 
traveling at velocity v , and is the approximation not correct for v< c?

According to Mach's principle  mc_0 ^2 = -mMuG/Ru   in other words mc_0 
^2 is the gravity potential in intergalactic space but still inside the 
mass shell

So these considerations gives me a very simple classic visualization of 
most of the relativistic effects,  when v^4 /c^4 terms can be neglected. 
All I've done is acknowledged that there is a universe mass shell 
gravity effect on the  speed of light, and if we accept that then we can 
retain most of our classic physics.

What I am looking for is experiments that prove Einstein's general 
relativity is correct beyond the v^4 /c^4 approximation.



AS an interesting aside if you accept that all we need to do is include 
the Mass shell in the gravity potential then we can rewrite the energy 
relation as a momentum relationship

mc = m_0 c_0 *(1/(c_0 ^2 + 2x - v^2 )^1/2 ) =  m_0 c_0 *(1/(V-T)^1/2 ) = 
m_0 c_0 *(1/(L)^1/2 )

and multipying by c_0
gives    mcc_0 = m_0 c_0 ^2 *(1/(L)^1/2 )
which suggests the Relativistic correction simply accounts for the fact 
that phase rather than group velocity is used in some measurements like 
michelson morely and light bending while group velocity is used in 
Shapiro's measurements. I have not pursued this but always wondered that 
the wave mechanics has a phase x group velocity be a constant.
