Description for Beyond the Einstein Addition Law and Its Gyroscopic Thomas Precession
Paperback. Evidence that Einstein's addition is regulated by the Thomas precession has come to light, turning the notorious Thomas precession, previously considered the ugly duckling of special relativity theory, into the beautiful swan of gyrogroup and gyrovector space theory. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 464 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 1430.
Evidence that Einstein's addition is regulated by the Thomas precession has come to light, turning the notorious Thomas precession, previously considered the ugly duckling of special relativity theory, into the beautiful swan of gyrogroup and gyrovector space theory, where it has been extended by abstraction into an automorphism generator, called the Thomas gyration. The Thomas gyration, in turn, allows the introduction of vectors into hyperbolic geometry, where they are called gyrovectors, in such a way that Einstein's velocity additions turns out to be a gyrovector addition. Einstein's addition thus becomes a gyrocommutative, gyroassociative gyrogroup operation in the same way that ... Read more
