Lorentz-transformation and Galileo- transformation windows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define Lorentz-transformation windows as windows that change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Lorentz transformation. Similarly, Galileo-transformation windows change the direction of transmitted light rays like a Galileo transformation. This light-ray-direction change distorts the scene seen through such a window in the same way in which the scene would be distorted in a photo taken with a camera moving through the scene. Lorentz-transformation windows can also undo the distortion of the scene when moving at relativistic velocity relative to it. For small angles between the direction of the light rays and the direction of the velocity, Galileo-transformation windows can be realised with relatively simple telescope windows, which consist of arrays of identical micro-telescopes.

From 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 ...
متن کاملThe Global Positioning System and the Lorentz Transformation
The Global Positioning System has been hailed as one of the great triumphs of relativity theory. It is based on the principle that the rates of atomic clocks are affected in a well-defined manner by changes in their relative velocity to the Earth and their position in a gravitational field. It also is consistent with the modern definition of the meter as the distance light travels in free space...
متن کاملSuper-light Electromagnetic Wave with Longitudinal and Transversal Modes
The transformation converting equations invariant under Lorentz into the equations invariant under Galileo is obtained. On this basis: (1) the super-light electromagnetic wave with longitudinal and transversal modes is found out; (2) it is shown the wave velocity coincides with that of de Broglie’s wave; (3) the connection between Maxwell’s electrodynamics and Shrödinger’s equation is establish...
متن کاملOn hyperbolic systems with entropy velocity covariant under the action of a group
For hyperbolic systems of conservation laws in one space dimension with a mathematical entropy, we define the notion of entropy velocity. Then we give sufficient conditions for such a system to be covariant under the action of a group of space-time transformations. These conditions naturally introduce a representation of the group in the space of states. We construct such hyperbolic system from...
