Likewise the proposed "IRT transformations" (equations 4.11 to 4.14) are given in terms of increments of the coordinates, rather than actual coordinates.  We can make allowances for this, but I don't see any way of rationalizing the fact that the transformation from lower to higher absolute speed is not the algebraic inverse of the transformation from higher to lower absolute speed.  So, as it stands, those equations are logically self-contradictory.  If we fix them by eliminating the extra "g", they become

Equations 4.11 & 4.12 are presented as the transformation from inertial coordinates at a lower absolute speed to inertial coordinates at a higher absolute speed.  Equations 4.13 & 4.14 are presented as the transformation from inertial coordinates at a higher speed to inertial coordinates at a lower speed.  Logically, these transformations (from lower to higher, and from higher to lower) must be the algebraic inverses of >each other, but they are not, so the equations are logically

Equations 4.11 and 4.12 are the predictions of A on B where B is in a higher state of absolute motion than A:
Eq. 4.11: A predicts that the light-path length of a moving meter stick is foreshortened by a factor of the right side of eq.4.11. This prediction is based on the assumption that the light-path length of A's meter stick is its material length.
Eq. 4.12: A predicts that a second on the B clock is worth the right side of equation 4.12--a larger number of clock seconds on the A clock.

Equations 4.13 and 4.14 are the prediction of A on B where B is in a lower state of absolute motion than A:
Eq. 4.13: A predicts that the light-path length of a meter stick in B's frame is lengthened by a factor of the right side of Eq. 4.13. This prediction is based on the assumption that the light-path length of A's meter stick is its material length.
Eq. 4.14: A predicts that a second on the B clock is worth the right side of Eq. 4.14---a smaller number of clock seconds on the A clock.

There is no extra g in any of the IRT equations. There is no inverse transformations. A predicts the values of the light-path length of a meter stick in B's frame and the worth of a clock second on B's clock when B is in a higher state of absolute motion than A and when B is in a lower state of absolute motion than A.

In my effort to understand IRT, I asked this question:  “SRT says inertial coordinate systems are related by Lorentz transformations.  For IRT, can you tell me how inertial coordinate systems are related?”  Your answer was “They are related by the IRT transformations which includes the LT as a subset.”  I then asked “What are those IRT coordinate transformations?”  You answered “The IRT transformations are included in the following link...”  I studied the IRT Transformations given in the link, and explained why they are logically self-contradictory, due to the spurious factor of g, which is the only thing that makes them different from the Lorentz transformations.

If you are now saying that those equations are NOT the relation between inertial coordinate systems, then can you tell me how (according to IRT) inertial coordinate systems are related?

You have two sets of equations, Set1 to make predictions about rods and clocks in a higher state of absolute motion, and Set2 to make predictions about rods and clocks in a lower state of absolute motion.  If B is in a lower state of motion than A, then A would use Set2 to make predictions about rods and clocks in B.  But in this situation couldn’t B use Set1 to make predictions about rods and clocks in A?

The most efficient way of describing this is to state how the inertial coordinates of A and B are related to each other, because they each evaluate distances and times using their own inertial coordinates.  That’s why I’ve been asking how, according to IRT, the inertial coordinate systems are related.  According to SRT, they are related by Lorentz transformations.  I'm trying to find out how they are related according to IRT.  Your transformation equations (in the linked pdf file) are almost identical to the Lorentz transformations, except for the spurious factor of g that makes them logically self-contradictory.  To rescue IRT, I think you need to come up with a transformation between inertial coordinate systems that is not self-contradictory.

You have two sets of equations, Set1 to make predictions about rods and clocks in a higher state of absolute motion, and Set2 to make predictions about rods and clocks in a lower state of absolute motion.  If B is in a lower state of motion than A, then A would use Set2 to make predictions about rods and clocks in B, and similarly B would use Set1 to make predictions about rods and clocks in A.  But this implies that Set1 and Set2 must be inverses of each other.  With the Lorentz transformation, they are indeed inverses of each other, but with the IRT transformation they are not (due to the spurious factor of g).  Therefore, the IRT transformations are logically self-contradictory.

You are mistaken.....the two sets of equations are from A's point of view. There is no transform from B's point of view. If B is the observer he would have the same sets of equations to predict the values of A's second and the light path length of A's meter stick.....of course the subscripts of all the terms are changed.
In IRT there is no inverse transformation equations. Also in IRT the relative velocity as measure by A is not the same as measured by B.....why? Because an A second have different duration than a B second.

Interesting.  If A and B are moving directly away from each other, and they are each transmitting a light pulse once per second (according to their own clocks), will they be receiving pulses from each other with the same reduced frequency, or will they be receiving different frequencies?

Your pdf file says the relative velocity measured by A is 

v = L_a(f_aa - f_ab) 

where L_a is wavelength of standard light as measured by A, f_aa is freq of A's light as measured by A, and f_ab is freq of B's light as measured by A.  Presumably the relative velocity as measured by B is

v = L_b(f_bb - f_ba) 

But I would think L_b = L_a, and f_bb = f_aa, and f_ba = f_ab, so the velocities should be the same.  How are they different?  Are you saying the Doppler shift between two relatively moving observers is not the same for both?  I've never heard of any evidence for such an asymmetry.

f_ba not equal to f_ab because the "second" used to define these terms are not universal (not having the same duration) in the A and B frames.

Okay, let's consider a specific example:  Suppose A is at absolute rest, and B is moving away at some speed v (according to A).  

Questions:
- Does f_aa = f_bb?   If not, how are they related?
- Does L_a = L_b?   If not, how are they related?

f_aa =/= f_bb because an A second not equal to a B second in terms of duration (absolute time). This is where SR is failing. SR claims that the speed of light is a universal constant....it is not because a clock second to define the speed of light is not a universal interval of time. This means that the speed of light is a local constant and the incoming speed of light is:
c'=(measured incoming frequency)(L_aa...the universal wavelength of the source)

> - Does L_a = L_b?   If not, how are they related?

L_a=L_b because no time interval is involved in these measurements. This means that wavelength of the source is a universal constant instead of the speed of light as claimed by SR.

> - How are f_ab and f_ba related?  In other words, what is your Doppler formula for the standard reference light emitted by A and received by B, and for the light emitted by B and received by A?  (Remember, A is at absolute rest, and B is in absolute motion with speed v.)

They are related by the factors of gamma or 1/gamma.

If A is at absolute rest, and B is moving directly away at speed v (according to A), and if you know the actual numerical values of f_aa, L_a, and v, could you compute the numerical value of f_bb?   If so, what formula would you use to compute it?  If not, what additional information would you need to compute it?

You seem forgetting completely that all GPS receptors are resolving all the
time with extraordinary accuracy (since already almost 4 decades) systems of 
Newtonian equations in the ECI Euclidean space with Cartesian coordinates and 
the time defined by 1905 Einstein, the same showed by all the synchronized GPS 
operative clocks in all places, including the satellite and ground ones.

All the signals received in the receptors from the moving satellites have
always the same velocity c, not depending on transmitter source velocity (or 
any other), in total agreement with 1905 Relativity (1905R) two postulates. The 
very successful GPS function based on 1905R RELATIVISTIC REAL MEASUREMENTS, is 
then a HUGE experimental support for that theory.

Special relativity says the signal velocity (i.e., the speed of propagation of the energy of light) in vacuum is c, but it does not say the group or phase velocities must equal c.  In fact, there are many well-known circumstances in which the phase and/or group velocities do not equal the signal velocity.  There is nothing new or mysterious about this.  The cited articles describe only changes in the phase and group velocities of light, not changes in the signal velocity.  This is why one of the articles says "This work does not challenge relativity theory, but experimentally supports work on the counterintuitive vacuum GROUP velocities..."  Likewise the other cited article says it refers to "modification of the wavevectors [of light] resulting in a change to their PHASE and GROUP velocities".

Statement 2 is strictly meaningless without specifying the meaning of "measure".  When scientists make statements like 2, they are tacitly using the word "measure" to refer to a specific operationally defined system of coordinates, but they often don't go to the trouble of stating this explicitly, which leads to a lot of confusion among people who aren't aware of the tacit meaning.  

The cited articles describing the Doppler effect are all focusing their explanations on the non-relativistic limit, so they aren't relevant to a discussion of the exact relativistic Doppler effect.

You are distorting completely 1905 Einstein's second postulate, see how
describes him it at the beginning of Section 2 in his June 30 paper [  ]: 

[ Any ray of light moves in the "stationary" system of coordinates with the
determined velocity c, whether the ray be emitted by a stationary or by a 
moving body. Hence velocity =light path/time interval where time interval is to 
be taken in the sense of the definition in Section 1. ]

See at the beginning of the referred Section 1 how in a "stationary system" of coordinates the equations of Newtonian mechanics hold good, and a little ahead how he  establishes BY DEFINITION that the "time" required by light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires to travel from B to A. He is then handling the light as a moving agent (that can be of ANY nature, including imaginary) with ANY constant uniform velocity c. Verify by yourself, analyzing in detail the 1905 Einstein's "time" definition, all what I am saying here.
 
See how the second postulate applies only in a "stationary system" (as a
Newtonian center of mass one), unique type of entity where "time" is defined, 
being explicitly the velocity of the moving agent independent on the velocity 
of the source (or any other entity).

The simple Newtonian equation that appears in the second postulate only relates
the velocity of the moving agent with the space and time of the corresponding 
stationary system, not depending at all on any more.

The first postulate is that the laws of physics be the same for all 
observers.

They've shown that the group velocity of light is a function of its 
transverse spatial structure. But what is "transverse" is observer 
dependent, so the underlying physical law can still be the same.

Whether it is, of course, is something for the experimenters to look at, 
but this experiment as it stands does not violate the first postulate.

Sylvia.

First rule of postulating: good postulate should be
empty enough to survive anything.
This one surely matches, but there are other rules 
too.

In the Introduction of his first June 30 Relativity paper, just after
considering the interaction between a magnet and a conductor, 1905 Einstein 
continues (upper case emphasis is mine) [  ]:

[ Examples of this sort, together with the unsuccessful attempts to discover
any motion of the earth relatively to the "light medium", suggest that the
phenomena of electrodynamics as well as of mechanics possess no properties 
corresponding to the idea of absolute rest. They suggest rather that, as has 
already been shown to the first order of small quantities, THE SAME LAWS OF 
ELECTRODYNAMICS AND OPTICS WILL BE VALID FOR ALL FRAMES OF REFERENCE FOR WHICH 
THE EQUATIONS OF MECHANICS HOLD GOOD. We will raise this conjecture (the 
purport of which will hereafter be called the "Principle of Relativity") to the 
status of a postulate, and also introduce another postulate, which is only 
apparently irreconcilable with the former, namely, that light is always 
propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of 
the state of motion of the emitting body. ]

As you can read, BOTH 1905 Einstein's postulates are FULL of NEW physical
content. In 1905, the laws of electrodynamics and optic were considered valid
only in the "luminiferous ether" at absolute rest.

As I detailed already in my previous post to you, the two 1905 Einstein
postulates find today HUGE experimental support with the very successful GPS 
operation.

 Why Einstein Wanted To Unify [e.g. particles of light and waves of light]

My comment on YouTube:

Light behaves like particles in certain respects and waves in other respects but insofar as its speed is concerned,  light behaves like particles - the speed of photons varies like the speed of ordinary projectiles, both in the presence and absence of a gravitational field:

http://books.google.com/books?id=JokgnS1JtmMC 
 "Relativity and Its Roots", Banesh Hoffmann, p.92: "Moreover, if light consists of particles, as Einstein had suggested in his paper submitted just thirteen weeks before this one, the second principle seems absurd: A stone thrown from a speeding train can do far more damage than one thrown from a train at rest; the speed of the particle is not independent of the motion of the object emitting it. And if we take light to consist of particles and assume that these particles obey Newton's laws, they will conform to Newtonian relativity and thus automatically account for the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment without recourse to contracting lengths, local time, or Lorentz transformations. Yet, as we have seen, Einstein resisted the temptation to account for the null result in terms of particles of light and simple, familiar Newtonian ideas, and introduced as his second postulate something that was more or less obvious when thought of in terms of waves in an ether."

http://www.einstein-online.info/spotlights/redshift_white_dwarfs 
 Albert Einstein Institute: "One of the three classical tests for general relativity is the gravitational redshift of light or other forms of electromagnetic radiation. However, in contrast to the other two tests - the gravitational deflection of light and the relativistic perihelion shift -, you do not need general relativity to derive the correct prediction for the gravitational redshift. A combination of Newtonian gravity, a particle theory of light, and the weak equivalence principle (gravitating mass equals inertial mass) suffices. (...) The gravitational redshift was first measured on earth in 1960-65 by Pound, Rebka, and Snider at Harvard University..."

http://www.amazon.com/QED-Strange-Theory-Light-Matter/dp/0691024170 
 Richard Feynman, "QED: The strange theory of light and matter", p. 15: "I want to emphasize that light comes in this form - particles. It is very important to know that light behaves like particles, especially for those of you who have gone to school, where you probably learned something about light behaving like waves. I'm telling you the way it does behave - like particles. You might say that it's just the photomultiplier that detects light as particles, but no, every instrument that has been designed to be sensitive enough to detect weak light has always ended up discovering the same thing: light is made of particles."

... is it possible that , in the twisted light , the diameter of turn multiplied for the number of turns , produces the number 299....?

..perhaps the twisted light makes in a sec 300 000 km like normally in the vacuum , but it is turning (twisted) and strightly it makes only 3000 km , of course ,....
