Newton and Relativity

The study shows an alternative derivation path to relativistic mechanics.
This path starts from the second law of dynamics in conjunction with the principle of energy-mass equivalence and leads through various alternative derivations of relativistic formulas to the theoretical proof of the constancy of the speed of light.
It is shown that it is quite possible with Newtonian mechanics to describe physical phenomena of nature at high speeds and variable mass.

It remains to be seen how far this derivation path can still lead.
