Space Time Measurements in Special Relativity
The conventional discussion of apparent distortions of space and time in Special Relativity (the Lorentz-Fitzgerald Contraction and Time Dilatation) is extended by considering observations of : (i) moving objects of limited lifetime in their own rest frame ('transient luminous objects') and (ii) a moving extended array of synchro-nised 'equivalent clocks' in a common inertial frame. Application...
متن کاملReal Time Relativity: Exploratory learning of special relativity
“Real Time Relativity” is a computer program that lets users move at relativistic speeds through a simulated world populated with planets, clocks, and buildings. The counterintuitive and spectacular optical effects of relativity are prominent, while systematic exploration of the simulation allows the user to discover relativistic effects such as length contraction and the relativity of simultan...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity and Time Travel Revisited
In this paper, Lorentz Transformation(LT) is derived by an alternate method, using photon clocks, placed at the locations of the concerned events, which are initially synchronised using a light signal(Einstein synchrony). Then, it is shown that the second term in the time dilation equation of the LT, is the term responsible for time travel and further it is shown that this term arises merely du...
متن کاملObservables, gauge invariance, and the role of the observers in the limit from general relativity to special relativity
Some conceptual issues concerning general invariant theories, with special emphasis on general relativity, are analyzed. The common assertion that observables must be required to be gauge invariant is examined in the light of the role played by a system of observers. Some features of the reduction of the gauge group are discussed, including the fact that in the process of a partial gauge fixing...
متن کاملSpecial Relativity
References 43 Index 45 ii Preface For me, the wonder of special relativity lies in its successful prediction of interesting and very nonintuitive phenomena from simple arguments with simple premises. These notes have three (perhaps ambitious) aims: (a) to introduce undergraduates to special relativity from its founding principle to its varied consequences, (b) to serve as a reference for those ...
