Acceleration in special relativity
I am currently studying the motion of relativistic charged particles in electromagnetic fields. More exactly, we first derived the equation of motion in the 4-vector formalism.
I was a bit confused wh …

Quaternions and 4-vectors
I recently realised that quaternions could be used to write intervals or norms of vectors in special relativity:
$$(t,ix,jy,kz)^2 = t^2 + (ix)^2 + (jy)^2 + (kz)^2 = t^2 - x^2 - y^2 - z^2$$
Is it use …
