A review is given of the implications of the absence of an intrinsic notion of instantaneous 3-space, so that a clock synchronization convention has to be introduced, for relativistic theories.
Starting from the classical Newton's second law which, according to our assumption, is valid in any instantaneous inertial rest frame of body that moves in Minkowskian space-time we get the relativistic equation of motion…
The relativistic jerk, snap and all higher-order kinematical D-vectors are defined for the motion of a massive particle in a D-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We illustrate the formalism with stationary motions, for which we provide a new,…
A charged particle which is allowed to accelerate must have relativistic behavior because it is coupled to electromagnetic radiation which propagates at the speed of light. We treat the simple steady-state situation of a charged particle…
Forces parallel to particle trajectories occur in physically meaningful situations, including relativistic cosmology and Einstein frame scalar-tensor gravity. These situations have Newtonian analogues that we discuss to provide intuition…
