# It is possible for an observer to detect his motion through the space

## TL;DR

This paper argues that an observer can detect their motion through space by analyzing time dilation effects, challenging a core postulate of special relativity, supported by experiments like Hafele-Keating.

## Contribution

It introduces the triplets paradox to explain how absolute speeds can be measured in inertial frames, contradicting traditional relativity assumptions.

## Key findings

- Hafele-Keating experiment indicates detectable motion through space.
- Absolute speeds of Earth and other celestial bodies can be measured.
- Proposes a paradox to justify absolute motion detection in inertial frames.

## Abstract

One of two postulates that are base for special relativity is that the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems, which has as a consequence that it is impossible for an observer to detect his motion through space. It will be shown that this is in a contradiction with the results of the Hafele-Keating experiment, which established that time is going faster in an airplane going westward than in that going eastward, if compared with clocks located on Earth. The result of the experiment allows not only to conclude that Earth is rotating toward east, but also to calculate the speed of Earth motion. Performing similar experiments it is also possible to measure Earth speed around the Sun, its speed in our galaxy, and actually its absolute speed. To generalize this for any inertial frame and to explain why an absolute speed can be assigned to any inertial frame we introduced the triplets paradox.
