Apparent "relativistic phenomena"
     The situations represented in Figs. 1 and 2 result in the "relativistic phenomena" that special relativity theory attributes to relative motion between reference frames. In the quantum medium view the phenomena are not caused by relative motion. In Fig. 2, if the absolute velocities of B and C are .1 ca and .660377 ca, the observed relative velocity, vCB, via Eq. (15) is .6 c, the same relative velocity observed in Fig. 1. This .6 c virtual relative velocity observed in B and C of Fig. 2 results in the same "relativistic time dilation and length contraction" by a factor of .8 as observed in Fig. 1 even though the real relative velocity in Fig. 2 is only .560377 ca.
     The relativistic phenomena observed between reference frames B and C depend on the virtual physical change ratio (rCB) which is a function of the virtual relative velocity, vCB.

(16)

This virtual physical change ratio is the basis for the Lorentz transformation equations which correlate observations in two inertial reference frames and the observed virtual relative velocity, vCB, of Eq. (15). Although Eq. (16) is the same as Eq. (3), it is the result of physical causes which are logical consequences of Premise I.
