IRT (Improved Relativity Theory) is a complete theory of motion. It includes
SRT as a subset. Howevert, unlike SRT the equations of IRT are valid in all
enviroments.....including gravity.

The Postulates of IRT:
1. The laws of physics based on a clock second and a light-second to measure
length are the same for all observers in all inertial reference frames.
2. The speed of light in free space based on a clock second and a
light-second to measure length has the same mathematical ratio c in all
directions and all inertial frames.
3. The laws of physics based on a defined absolute second and the physical
length of a measuring rod is different in different frames of reference.
4. The one-way speed of light in free space based on a defined absolute
second and the physical length of a measuring rod has a different
mathematical ratio for light speed in different inertial frames. The speed
of light based on a defined absolute second and the physical length of a
measuring rod is a maximum in the rest frame of the E-Matrix.

The Consequences of these Postulates:
1. The speed of light is not a universal constant. It is a constant math
ratio as follows:
   Light path length of rod (299,792,458 m)/the absolute time content for a
clock second     co-moving with the rod.
   The detailed explanation of this new definition:
   By definition the speed of light in the rest frame of the E-Matrix is as
follows:
   Light path length of rod in the E-Matrix frame = 299,792,458m.
   The absolute time content for a clock second in the E-Matrix frame = 1
E-Matrix         frame clock second.
   Therefore the speed of light in the E-Matrix frame is: 299,792,458m/1
E-Matrix clock     second
   The speed of light in any frame moving in the stationary E-Matrix is
determined as         follows:
   The light path length of rod in the moving frame= ? (299,792,458m)
   The absolute time content for a moving clock second= ? (E-Matrix clock
seconds)
   Therefore the speed of light in any moving frame in the stationary
E-Matrix is as             follows:
   ? (299,792,458m) / ? (E-Matrix clock seconds).
   This is reduced to a constant math ratio of:  299,792,458m/1 E-Matrix
clock second

2. The physical length of a rod remains the same in all frames of reference.
The light path     length of a rod changes with the state of absolute motion
of the rod. The higher is the     state of absolute motion the longer is its
light path length.

3. The rate of a clock is dependent on the state of absolute motion of the
clock. The         higher is the state of absolute motion the slower is its
clock rate.

4. Absolute time exists. The relationship between clock time and absolute
time is as             follows: A clock second will contain a different
amount of absolute time in different         states of absolute motion
(different frames of reference). The higher is the state of
absolute motion of the clock the higher is the absolute time content for a
clock second.

5. Simultaneity is absolute. If two events are simultaneous in one frame,
identical events     will also be simultaneous in different frames. However
the time interval for the                 simultaneity to occur will be
different in different frames. This is due to that different         frames
are in different states of absolute motion.

6. Relative motion between two observers A and B is the vector difference of
the vector     component of A's absolute motion and the vector component of
B's absolute motion     along the line joining A and B.

1. THE TIME DILATION (CONTRACTION) OR EXPANSION EQUATIONS:
   A and B are in relative motion from observer A's point of view:

   Tab=Taa(Faa/Fab)   OR   Tab=Taa(Fab/Faa)

        Taa=A clock time interval in observer A's frame as measured by A
        Tab= A's prediction of B's clock time interval for an interval of
Taa in his frame
         Faa = Frequency of a standard light source in A's frame as
measured by A.
         Fab = Frequency of an identical light source in B's frame as
measured by A.
                   If Fab is not constant the mean value is used.

   Note: Even though   and   are two different clock time intervals but
both of these clock     time intervals contain the same amount of absolute
time.

THE LIGHT PATH LENGTH CONTRACTION OR EXPANSION EQUATION FOR A PHYSICAL ROD:

         Lab=Laa(Faa/Fab) OR  Lab=Laa(Fab/Faa)

         Laa= The light path length of a rod in A's frame as measured by A.
          Lab= The light path length of an identical rod in B's frame as
predicted by A

   Note: Even though Laa and Lab are two different light path lengths but
these two light     path lengths are derived from identical rod  that have
the same physical rod length.         The different light path lengths are
the result of different states of absolute motion
   of the rods.

2. THE COORDINATE TRANSFORMATION EQUATIONS:
   x'= faa/fab[x + t(faa-fab)(lambda)]
   t'= faa/fab[t + x(faa-fab)/(faa^2)(lambda)]
   y'=y
   z'=z

   OR

   x'= fab/faa[x - t(faa-fab)(lambda)]
   t'= fab/faa[t - x(faa-fab)/(faa^2)(lambda)]
   y'=y
   z'=z

   A is the observer's frame (unprimed) and B is the observed frame
(primed).
   faa = instantaneous frequency of a standard light source in A's frame as
measured
           by A.
   fab = instantaneous frequency of an identical light source in B's frame
as measured
           by A.
   lambda = wave length of the standard light source in A's frame as
measured
                   by A.

   These coordinate transform equations are valid in all
environments ---including gravity.

3. Momentum of an object:
   p=Mo(lambda)(Faa-Fab)

4. Kinetic Energy of an object::
   K=Mo(Lambda)^2(Faa)^2(Faa/Fab-1)

5. Energy of a single particle:
   E=Mo(Lambda)^2(Faa)^2

6. Gravtational Red or Blue Shift:
   Delta (Faa) =Faa(1-Fab/Faa)
   A positve value represents a red shift from A's location.
   A negative value represents a blue shift from A's location

7. Gravitational Time Contraction or Expansion:
   Delta(Taa)=Taa(1-Fab/Faa)
   A positive value represents gravitational time contraction (dilation)
   from A's location.
   A negative value represents gravitational time expansion
   from A's location.

8. The IRT procedure for determining the perihelion precession of
   Mercury without recourse to GRT is:
   a) Set up a corrdinate system for the Sun and Mervury.
   b) Use the IRT Corrdinate tansformation equations to predict the
       future positions of the Sun and Mercury.
   c) The perihelion shift of Mercury will be revealed when these
       future positions are plotted against time. Also, the value of the
       shift can be determined from the plot.

Summarizing:
IRT is a complete theory of motion. It contains SR as a subset.
It's equations are valid in all environments.
