Introduction to Special Relativity

2007
Maxwell equations in vacuum space describe the propagation of electromagnetic signals with speed \( c \equiv 1/\sqrt {\mu _0 \varepsilon _0 } \). Since, according to the Galilean relativity principle, velocities must be added like vectors when going from one inertial reference frame to another, the vector corresponding to the velocity of a luminous ...

On special relativity

Physics Letters A, 1969
Abstract The correct application of special relativity to the case of a ‘rotating’ disc are given. The effects of gravitation cannot be deduced from the application of special relativity. The definitions of unit time interval and unit space interval are discussed.

Relative Simultaneity in the Special Relativity

Philosophy of Science, 1977
In this paper a method is proposed for empirically determining simultaneity at a distance within the special theory of relativity. It is argued that this method is independent of Einstein's signalling method and provides a basis for denying the conventionality of distant simultaneity.

Transformations in special relativity

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1985
This paper studies a family of groups of linear transformations, G(c), of the plane onto itself. If the parameter, c, is zero or infinity, the group reduces to the Galilean group in one space and one time dimension. If c is real, not zero, G is the corresponding Lorentz group, with light velocity c. If c is imaginary, the group is SO(2).

Special relativity in general relativity?

Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1974
Starting from the metric in harmonic coordinates for a test particle m1 around a heavy particle m2(m2≫m1) at rest, the EIH Lagrangian is recovered by making a Lorentz transformation, followed by a canonical transformation and an appropriate symmetrization in the two masses. This raises the question of a special relativity content in general relativity,

The Continuum in Special Relativity

Physical Review, 1951
A relativistically covariant formalism describing the behavior of a continuous medium is presented. A method is developed for resolving covariant expressions into space and time components. One obtains by this method from a symmetric energy-momentum tensor, a scalar invariant energy density, a vector heat flux, and the stress tensor.

Is the Special Theory of Relativity Wrong ?: The Special Theory of Relativity

Nature, 1968
Since the publication of Professor Dingle's article (Nature, 216, 119; 1967), arguing that the special theory of relativity is incorrect, several comments on this issue have been received, and we propose in the next few months to publish a selection of these.
