Abstract

Relations between the experience of space technology and theory of space and time arefound in this paper.A nontraditional approach to the concepts of space and time isintroduced.The approach is based upon the the analysis of the detailed mechanism of radarmeasurement and nonlinear Doppler effects as measured by an astronaut.The Lorentz factor √1-v²/c² and four-dimensional interval t²-x²/c² may be interpreted fromthe point of view of a space technologist.A "geometrical mean" notion for computing timeinterval is introduced parallelly with the usual arithmetic mean formulas,giving resultscomparable with those of special relativity theory.Space time relationships aredemonstrated on the Poincare diagrams.
