A Euclidean Alternative to Minkowski Spacetime Diagram
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract By re-interpreting the special relativity (SR) postulates based on Euclidean 4-space-time , a geometrical model is formulated called the Euclidean Space-Time (EST) diagram. The EST diagram is a velocity vector model with a real time parameter along the 4th dimension and consequently has a (++++) metric. The model is governed by a circular function geometry and the relativistic variations are expressed in

Spacetime and Euclidean Geometry
Using only the principle of relativity and Euclidean geometry we show in this pedagogical article that the square of proper time or length in a two-dimensional spacetime diagram is proportional to the Euclidean area of the corresponding causal domain. We use this relation to derive the Minkowski line element by two geometric proofs of the spacetime Pythagoras theorem. Introduction Spacetime dia...
متن کاملUnitarity and Asymptotic Behavior of Amplitudes in Non-anticommutative Quantum Field Theory
The unitarity condition for scattering amplitudes in a non-anticommutative quantum field theory is investigated. The Cutkosky rules are shown to hold for Feynman diagrams in Euclidean space and unitarity of amplitudes can be satisfied. An analytic continuation of the diagrams to physical Minkowski spacetime can be performed without invoking unphysical singularities in amplitudes. The high energ...

متن کاملCommunicating with accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime
Our goal here is to determine the spatial and temporal constraints on communication between two observers at least one of which moves with constant proper acceleration in two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We take as a simplified model of communication one observer bouncing a light signal off another observer. Our derivations use only elementary mathematics and spacetime diagrams, and hence a...
متن کاملVisualizing Flat Spacetime: Viewing Optical versus Special Relativistic Effects
A simple visual representation of Minkowski spacetime appropriate for a student with a background in geometry and algebra is presented. Minkowski spacetime can be modeled with a Euclidean 4-space to yield accurate visualizations as predicted by special relativity theory. The contributions of relativistic aberration as compared to classical pre-relativistic aberration to the geometry are discuss...
