Special Relativity, Coexistence and Temporal Parts: A Reply to Gilmore
In two earlier works (Balashov, 2000a and 2000b), I have argued that considerations based on special relativity and the notion of coexistence favor the perdurance view of persistence over its endurance rival. Cody Gilmore (2002) has subjected my argument to an insightful three-fold critique. In the first part of this paper I respond briefly to Gilmore’s first two objections. I then grant his ob...
متن کاملTensors and Special Relativity
While you have probably used tensors of rank 1, i.e vectors, in special relativity, relativity is most efficiently expressed in terms of tensor algebra. General relativity, however, requires tensor algebra in a general curvilinear coordinate system. Before discussing special relativity, it will be useful to introduce some of the mathematics of differential forms in a general curvilinear set of ...
متن کاملSpecial 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 کاملQuaternions and Special Relativity
We reformulate Special Relativity by a quaternionic algebra on reals. Using real linear quaternions, we show that previous difficulties, concerning the appropriate transformations on the 3 + 1 space-time, may be overcome. This implies that a complexified quaternionic version of Special Relativity is a choice and not a necessity. a) e-mail: [email protected]
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...
