Interpretation of Relativistic Effects Based on the Orthogonal Distribution of the Speed of Light

The physical nature of special relativistic effects such as length contraction, time dilation and aberration of light is systematically explained, and the numerical results of classical general relativistic experiments including the perihelion precession of Mercury, frame dragging, gravitational lensing and gravitational redshift are reproduced. It is clarified that all kinds of relativistic effects are apparent measurement effects caused by the orthogonal distribution of the speed of light.Meanwhile, self-consistent explanations are provided for key dilemmas in quantum mechanics and cosmology, such as quantum tunneling, quantum entanglement, the numerical discrepancy of the cosmological constant, cosmic expansion, dark energy and dark matter.

Results show that the orthogonal distribution mechanism of the speed of light is logically self-consistent and features a concrete physical picture. It can give a unified and intuitive interpretation of special and general relativistic effects without introducing abstract concepts such as four-dimensional spacetime and curvature tensor, enriching the interpretation approaches to relativistic effects and providing a new perspective for the in-depth study of related physical phenomena.
