We show that the Lorentz transformations for the space-time coordinates of the same event are a direct consequence of the principle of relativity and of Einstein's distant clocks synchronization procedure. In our approach, imposing the…
Lorentz's reciprocity lemma and Feld-Tai reciprocity theorem show the effect of interchanging the action and reaction in Maxwell's equations. We derive a free-space version of these reciprocity relations which generalizes the conservation…
We generalize electrodynamics with a second interaction in lightcone. The time-reversible equations for two-body motion define a semiflow on $C^2(\mathbb{R})$ with four state-dependent delays of neutral type and nonlinear gyroscopic terms.…
The nature of 'time', 'space' and 'reality' are to large extent dependent on our interpretation of Special (SRT) and General Relativity Theory (GRT). In SRT essentially two distinct interpretations exist; the "geometrical" interpretation by…
A new object, called the velocity tensor, is introduced. It allows to formulate a generally covariant mechanics. Some properties of the velocity tensor are derived.
Many authors noted that the principle of relativity, together with space-time symmetries, suffices to derive Lorentz-like coordinate transformations between inertial frames. These contain a free parameter, $k$, (equal to $c^{-2}$ in special…
Homogeneity of space and time, spatial isotropy, principle of relativity and the existence of a finite speed limit (or its variants) are commonly believed to be the only axioms required for developing the special theory of relativity…
We review the Inertial transformation and Lorentz transformation under a new context, by using Clifford Algebra or Geometric Algebra. The apparent contradiction between theses two approach is simply stems from different procedures for clock…
The vector form of a Lorentz transformation which is separated with time and space parts is studied. It is necessary to introduce a new definition of the relative velocity in this transformation, which plays an important role for the…
Several approaches to quantum gravity suggest that Lorentz invariance will be broken at high energy. This can lead to modified dispersion relations for wave propagation, which can be concretely realized in effective field theories where the…
There are many papers devoted to derivation of Lorentz Transformations (LT). Many people have pro posed alternative derivations. Their analysis allows looking at LT and their consequences from different standpoints. At the same time it is…
We consider real linear transformations between two inertial frames with constant relative speed $v$ in a $d$-dimensional spacetime where light moves with constant speed $c=1$ (for some chosen units) in all frames. For $d=2$ we show that…
The Classical Coordinate System is geometrical by nature with time being an external variable. Constructing a classical coordinate system employs a point-like signal with infinite speed. In Special Relativity Theory the speed is limited but…
In earlier published work, it was proposed that light speed was larger in the early universe by 30 orders of magnitude compared to its presently observed value. This change in the speed of light is associated with a spontaneous breaking of…
Besides the well known scalar invariants, there exist also vectorial invariants in the realm of special relativity. It is shown that the three-vector $\left(\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}\right)_{\parallel…
In this letter we reconsider the role of Lorentz invariance in the dynamical generation of the observed internal symmetries. We argue that, generally, Lorentz invariance can only be imposed in the sense that all Lorentz non-invariant…
We have realized that under Lorentz transformations the tick number of a moving common clock remains unchanged, that is, the hand of the clock never runs slow, but the time interval between its two consecutive ticks contracts, so the…
In special relativity, spacetime algebra (STA) provides a powerful and insightful approach to an invariant formulation of physics. However, in this geometric algebra of spacetime, relativistic physics is usually considered a misnomer: STA…
We explore the phenomenon of emergent Lorentz invariance in strongly coupled theories. The strong dynamics is handled using the gauge/gravity correspondence. We analyze how the renormalization group flow towards Lorentz invariance is…
We expand the IST transformation to three-dimensional Euclidean space and derive the speed of light under the IST transformation. The switch from the direction cosines observed in K to those observed in K-prime is surprisingly smooth. The…
