In this introductory review article, we explore the special relativistic equations of particle motions and the consequent derivation of Einstein's famous formula $E=mc^2$. Next, we study the special relativistic electromagnetic field…
It is shown that a generalized special theory of relativity (GSTR) with an arbitrary limiting velocity of a particle different or equal to the speed of light in vacuum can be constructed from the canonical equation of the 4-dimensional…
Concept of inertial mass is not well defined in physics. For defining inertial mass of a particle we need to know its acceleration under some force in an inertial reference frame, which itself is defined by the motion of its background…
We propose a relativistic version of the cosmological principle and confront it to the Hubble diagram of supernovae and other probes.
According to special relativity and the equivalence principle, the Newtonian gravitational force between two particles with relativistic velocities increases significantly with velocity and in fact becomes unbound as the latter approaches…
A rigorous quantum relativistic approach has been used to calculate the relationship between the decay laws of an unstable particle seen from two inertial frames moving with respect to each other. In agreement with experiment, it is found…
By adding generalizations involving translations, the machinery of the quantum theory of free fields leads to the semiclassical equations of motion for a charged massive particle in electromagnetic and gravitational fields. With the…
Einstein's relativity theory appears to be very accurate, but at times equally puzzling. On the one hand, electromagnetic radiation must have zero rest mass in order to propagate at the speed of light, but on the other hand, since it…
The effect of a hypothetical maximal proper acceleration on the mass of a charged particles is investigated in the context of particle accelerators. In particular, it is shown that maximal proper acceleration implies an increase in the…
A geometric theory for spacetimes whose world lines associated with physical particles have an upper bound for the proper acceleration is developed. After some fundamental remarks on the requirements that the classical dynamics for point…
What does it mean to say that space expands? One approach to this question is the study of relative velocities. In this context, a non local test particle is "superluminal" if its relative velocity exceeds the local speed of light of the…
High energy infers high velocity and high velocity is a concept of special relativity. The Maxwellian velocity distribution is corrected to be consistent with special relativity. The corrected velocity distribution reduces to the Maxwellian…
We examine the transformation of particle trajectories in models with deformations of Special Relativity that have an energy-dependent and observer-independent speed of light. These transformations necessarily imply that the notion of what…
One of the concepts of Relativity theory that challenges conventional intuition the most is time dilation and length contraction. Usual approaches for describing relativistic effects in quantum systems merely postulate the consequences of…
Recently the OPERA collaboration {\cite{opera}} has reported the observation of superluminal neutrinos traveling a distance of 730 km from Grand Sasso Laboratory to CERN.These results contradict the basic tenet of the Theory of Special…
Einstein's relation E=Mc^2 between the energy E and the mass M is the cornerstone of the relativity theory. This relation is often derived in a context of the relativistic theory for closed systems which do not accelerate. By contrast,…
In this paper we pose two fundamental ideas on the motion of an elementary particle supporting the internal "spin motion" or $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ and a particle as concentrated energy. First, the particle moves randomly in a limited…
Little is known about the physics frontier of strong acceleration; both classical and quantum physics need further development in order to be able to address this newly accessible area of physics. In this lecture we discuss what strong…
Physics was in crisis at the beginning of the twentieth century because the newborn Maxwell's electromagnetism defied mechanistic preconceptions. Albert Einstein understood that the solution to the crisis required an audacious reworking of…
The notions of centrifugal (centripetal) and Coriols' velocities and accelerations are introduced and considered in spaces with affine connections and metrics as velocities and accelerations of flows of mass elements (particles) moving in…
