We study the transformation of maximally entangled states under the action of Lorentz transformations in a fully relativistic setting. By explicit calculation of the Wigner rotation, we describe the relativistic analog of the Bell states as…
It is known that action is invariant in special relativity. The goal of this note is to show that the reverse statement is also correct, that special relativity follows from the postulate that action is invariant under the transformation…
We consider the general form of the linear transformation for point rotation coordinate frames. The frames have the rotation axis at every point. In the transformation the frequency of one frame relative to another is not equivalent to the…
We develop a relativistic velocity space called \emph{rapidity space} from the single assumption of Lorentz invariance, and use it to visualize and calculate effects resulting from the successive application of non-colinear Lorentz boosts.…
We present a geometric proof of the invariance of the relativistic spacetime interval based solely on the constancy of the speed of light, and the homogeneity and isotropy of spacetime. The derivation is based on a simple construction…
Lagrangian particles in turbulence separate away from each other faster in the backward in time direction as compared to forward in time. In this work, we show that time irreversibility is kinematically rooted in the fact that, when viewed…
Lorentz reciprocity establishes a stringent relation between electromagnetic fields and their sources. For static magnetic fields, a relation between magnetic sources and fields can be drawn in analogy to the Green's reciprocity principle…
If textbook Lorentz invariance is actually a property of the equations describing a sector of matter above some critical distance scale, several sectors of matter with different critical speeds in vacuum can coexist and an absolute rest…
With a special Lorentz-M{\o}ller-Nelson (LMN) transformation found transformation of velocity from the laboratory system S to an accelerated, rotating frame of reference s. The physical sense of parameter entering into the LMN special…
We show that the standard Lorentz transformations admit an invariant mass (length) scale, such as the Planck scale. In other words, the frame independence of such scale is built-in within those transformations, and one does not need to…
First, we extend the special relativity into the superluminal case and put forward a superluminal theory of kinematics, in which we show that the temporal coordinate need exchanging with one of the spatial coordinates in a superluminal…
We consider a rigid body colliding with a continuum of particles. We assume that the body is moving at a velocity close to an equilibrium velocity V_{\infty} and that the particles colliding with the body reflect diffusely, that is,…
Einstein based his special theory of relativity on two postulates: (a) physical laws appear the same in all inertial frames, and (b) the speed of light in vacuum is an observer-independent constant. However, it is already known that the…
After having identified all the possible relationships between the electric field and the magnetic field in a given inertial reference frame we derive the transformation equations for the components of these fields. Special relativity is…
In a recent paper titled "Coherent electromagnetic wavelets and their twisting null congruences," I defined the local inertia density (I), reactive energy density (R), and energy flow velocity (v) of an electromagnetic field. These are the…
I show that all inertial systems are not equivalent, and the Lorentz transformation is not the space-time transformation over two inertial systems moving with relative constant velocity. To do this, I consider imaginary signals travelling…
We advance an universal approach to the construction of kinematics in non-inertial and, in particular, rotating reference frames. On its basis a 10-dimensional space including three projections of velocity vector and three turn angles in…
Naively applying Hubble's law to a sufficiently distant object gives a receding velocity larger than the speed of light. By discussing a very similar situation in special relativity, we argue that Hubble's law is meaningful only for nearby…
A calculus based on pointer-mark coincidences is proposed to define, in a mathematically rigorous way, measurements of space and time intervals. The connection between such measurements in different inertial frames according to the Galilean…
In classical mechanics, Galilean covariance and the principle of relativity are completely equivalent and hold for all possible dynamical processes. In contrast, in relativistic physics the situation is much more complex. It will be shown…
