Natura non facit saltus : An Uncommon Way to Relativistic Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
The relativistic transformation equations for mass, momentum and energy are derived without using conservation laws but based on the idea that nature ensures a smooth transition from the physical properties of a tardyon to those of a photon.

A Discussion on the Two Aspects of natura non facit saltus
This article discusses the popular Aristotelian phrase “natura non facitsaltus” using two possible approaches – a gradual evolution and a punctuated evolution. In doing so this communication shows that in whatever aspect we examine Nature, at a microscopic level we find that continuity exists. Perhaps the same occurs at macromolecular/multi-cellular levels. Nevertheless, in sexually reproducing...
متن کاملشبیهسازی نسبیتی معادله ولاسوف برای انبساط پلاسما به خلاء
In this study, relativistic Vlasov simulation of plasma for expansion of collisionless plasma for into vacuum is presented. The model is based on 1+1 dimensional phase space and electrostatic approximation. For this purpose, the electron dynamics is studied by the relativistic Vlasov equation. Regardless of the ions temperature, fluid equations are used for their dynamics. The initial electro...
متن کاملSyntax Facit Saltum Redux: Biolinguistics and the Leap to Syntax
I have been astonished how rarely an organ can be named, towards which no transitional grade is known to lead. The truth of this remark is indeed shown by that old canon in natural history of Natura non facit saltum. We meet with this admission in the writings of almost every experienced naturalist; or, as Milne Edwards has well expressed it, nature is prodigal in variety, but niggard in innova...
متن کاملVariational Calculations for the Relativistic Interacting Fermion System at Finite Temperature: Application to Liquid 3He
In this paper, at first we have formulated the lowest order constrained variational method for the relativistic case of an interacting fermion system at finite temperature. Then we have used this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of liquid in the relativistic regime. The results show that the difference between total energies of relativistic and non-relativistic cases of liqu...
متن کاملGeneral relativistic hydrodynamic flows around a static compact object in final stages of accretion flow
Dynamics of stationary axisymmetric configuration of the viscous accreting fluids surrounding a non-rotating compact object in final stages of accretion flow is presented here. For the special case of thin disk approximation, the relativistic fluid equations ignoring self-gravity of the disk are derived in Schwarzschild geometry. For two different state equations, two sets of self-consistent an...
