نویسنده
چکیده
The apparent times and positions of moving clocks as predicted by both 'non-local' and 'local' Lorentz Transformations are considered. Only local transformations respect translational invariance. Such transformations change temporal but not spatial intervals, so breaking space-time exchange symmetry and forbidding rel-ativity of simultaneity and length contraction. Two satellite-borne experiments to test these predictions are proposed. PACS 03.30.+p

متن کاملFrom the Lorentz Transformation Group in Pseudo-Euclidean Spaces to Bi-gyrogroups
The Lorentz transformation of order $(m=1,n)$, $ninNb$, is the well-known Lorentz transformation of special relativity theory. It is a transformation of time-space coordinates of the pseudo-Euclidean space $Rb^{m=1,n}$ of one time dimension and $n$ space dimensions ($n=3$ in physical applications). A Lorentz transformation without rotations is called a {it boost}. Commonly, the ...

The Lorentz Transformation is derived from only three simple postulates: (i) a weak kinematical form of the Special Relativity Principle that requires the equivalence of reciprocal space-time measurements by two different inertial observers; (ii) Uniqueness, that is the condition that the Lorentz Transformation should be a single valued function of its arguments; (iii) Spatial Isotropy. It is a...

Special relativity is reformulated as a symmetry property of space-time: Space-Time Exchange Invariance. The additional hypothesis of spatial homogeneity is then sufficient to derive the Lorentz transformation without reference to the traditional form of the Principle of Special Relativity. The kinematical version of the latter is shown to be a consequence of the Lorentz transformation. As a dy...
