Special Relativity
References 43 Index 45 ii Preface For me, the wonder of special relativity lies in its successful prediction of interesting and very nonintuitive phenomena from simple arguments with simple premises. These notes have three (perhaps ambitious) aims: (a) to introduce undergraduates to special relativity from its founding principle to its varied consequences, (b) to serve as a reference for those ...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity
Inertial frames are frames related by a constant velocity along any axis. An object is at rest in an inertial frame when its position in space does not change with time. We consider two inertial frames: the 26-100 (S) frame in which we are at rest and the Space Shuttle frame (S ′) which moves relative to S with a velocity u along the x axis and in which the Shuttle is at rest. Newton postulated...
متن کاملAn omission in Special Relativity
In Special Relativity there are infinitely many equivalence classes of frames of reference. In each such class every two frames of reference move uniformly with respect to one another. It appears that the following questions have never been asked : In which of such equivalence classes of frames of reference is Special Relativity supposed to hold ? How can we identify such a class, and do so the...
متن کاملOn simplified axiomatic foundations of special relativity
Year 2010 marks the 100-th anniversary since the paper by Ignatowsky was published that was devoted to the axiomatic analysis of the special theory of relativity. Despite such a long history, the ideas put forward by Ignatowsky, and later developed by Franck and Rothe, still have not earned a proper place in the physical curriculum. As a celebration of this jubilee, we would like to draw the at...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity in Virtual Reality
The appearance of fast moving objects can be calculated according to the Theory of Special Relativity. In addition to the Lorentz contraction the e ects of nite light speed and aberration play an important role. These phenomena were rst discovered and described correctly in 1959 by Penrose and Terrel. Concerning the visualization of the phenomena there already exist systems with relativistic ra...
