Approaching space time trough velocity in Doubly Special Relativity
We discuss the definition of velocity as dE/d|p|, where E,p are the energy and momentum of a particle, in Doubly Special Relativity (DSR). If this definition matches dx/dt appropriate for the space-time sector, then space-time can in principle be built consistently with the existence of an invariant length scale. We show that, within different possible definitions, this program fails, and this ...
متن کاملSpecial relativity in complex vector algebra
Special relativity is one of the monumental achievements of physics of the 20th Century. Whereas Einstein used a coordinate based approach [1], which obscures important geometric aspects of this fundamental theory, many coordinate free geometric languages have since been developed. In [2], D. Hestenes showed how the ideas of special relativity can be elegantly expressed in space-time algebra. T...
متن کاملSpace Time Measurements in Special Relativity
The conventional discussion of apparent distortions of space and time in Special Relativity (the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and Time Dilatation) is extended by considering observations of : (i) moving objects of limited lifetime in their own rest frame ('transient luminous objects') and (ii) a moving extended array of synchro-nised 'equivalent clocks' in a common inertial frame. Application...
متن کاملReal Time Relativity: Exploratory learning of special relativity
“Real Time Relativity” is a computer program that lets users move at relativistic speeds through a simulated world populated with planets, clocks, and buildings. The counterintuitive and spectacular optical effects of relativity are prominent, while systematic exploration of the simulation allows the user to discover relativistic effects such as length contraction and the relativity of simultan...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity and Time Travel Revisited
In this paper, Lorentz Transformation(LT) is derived by an alternate method, using photon clocks, placed at the locations of the concerned events, which are initially synchronised using a light signal(Einstein synchrony). Then, it is shown that the second term in the time dilation equation of the LT, is the term responsible for time travel and further it is shown that this term arises merely du...
