Relativistic motion of rigid body
The speed composition formulas give: $\theta =\arctan \left(\frac{V'_{y}}{\gamma V}\right)$
If we replace the cylinder with the light coming from a star, i.e. $V' = -c$, we can calculate the aberratio …

Infinitely separated objects in simultaneity
we have $-x_{A}=x_{B}=x\;$ and $\;\;t'=\gamma\left(t-\frac{vx}{c^{2}}\right)$, the difference is $$\Delta t' =\gamma \,\frac{v}{c^{2}}\,\left(-x_{A}+x_{B}\right)=\gamma \,\frac{2vx}{c^{2}}$$
If we re …

Another relativity 'paradox' to ponder
Suppose we have two stars A and B which explode into supernovas at the same time (~taps), all observers in motion or at rest closer to A see the explosion of A into supernovas before B which is still …

Why isn't everything in the same place to photons?
In relativistic theory, the proper time τ of an object is the time measured in "the" frame of reference of this object, i.e. in a frame of reference where it is motionless.
For photons, there is no fr …

What is the relativistic kinetic energy for an object in a circular motion?
The derivative of the momentum with respect to time is the force acting on the particle. If the velocity of the particle varies only in deraction, which means that the force is perpendicular to the ve …

Problem with understanding time dilation (moving clocks can run faster?)
Geometric representation of an event that happens in M, $x_{M}=0$ and $ct=5s$ (explosion of a firecracker) : the wave only arrives at the observer at rest 5 seconds after the meeting of the two fra …

Parallel axes between inertial frames in Special Relativity
See: wikipedia:....
$\mathbf{r}=\mathbf {r} _{\perp }+ \mathbf {r} _{\parallel }\;\;, \;\mathbf{r'}=\mathbf {r'} _{\perp }+ \mathbf {r'} _{\parallel }$
then the transformations are:$$\begin{cases} t'= …

What is the kinematic transformation resulting from a Lorentz boost in light front coordinates?
See formula (39) : https://www.scielo.br/j/rbef/a/wh9hgMSRTJzvws8ZxzL8NNp/?format=pdf&lang=en
with :$\beta= tanh(\varphi)\;\;,\gamma=cosh(\varphi)\;\;, \beta\gamma = sinh(\varphi)$

The General Lorentz Transformation in 3+1D
In the following link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_transformation#/media/File:Lorentz_boost_any_direction_standard_configuration.svg ,
we have: $\ \mathbf{r}'=\mathbf{r}_{\bot} +\gamma( \mat …

Special relativity from the $-X$ axis and symmetry of spacetime
From 'reality', if a sound wave is emitted at a point P (shock wave), do we hear the explosion once or twice, even if we are moving with a speed v, change the direction of propagation of the wave, it …

Linearization of the Klein-Gordon equation and decoupling of ''spinors''! [closed]
We know that the K-G equation is deduced from the Einstein relation:
$E^{2}=m^{2} +\vec{p}^{2} \;\;\;\;$ (with $c=1$)
It is known that :$E^{2}=\frac{m^{2}}{1-\beta^{2}}=\left(\frac{m}{1-\beta}\righ …

How much information do I need for a Lorentz transformation?
The direct Lorentz transformations are :
$$ \begin{cases} x'=\gamma \left(x-vt\right)\;\;\;\;\;(1)\\ t'=\gamma \left(t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x\right)\;\;\;\;(2)\end{cases}$$
(1) and (2) gives $$\begin{cases …

Special relativity energy
we know that:
$\;\;E^{2}=(mc^{2})^{2}+p^{2}c^{2}\;\;\;,$ $\;\;\;p=\gamma mv$
$E^{2}=m^{2}c^{4}+\gamma^{2}m^{2}v^{2}c^{2}=m^{2}c^{4}\left(1+\gamma^{2}\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}\right)$
$E^{2}=\gamma^{2}m^{2}c …

How to prove time dilatation from the Lorentz transform?
In the formula$$\Delta t'=\gamma\left(\Delta t-\frac{U\Delta x}{c^{2}}\right)$$
we suppose that two events occur in the same place, i.e.$\;\Delta x=0$
we find in the moving reference frame $\mathcal{R …

How the Lorentz transformation affects the metric tensor?
The problem comes from the Euclidean representation of the orthogonality of two vectors in Minkowskian space: the scalar product of two vectors x,y with coordinates $x_{i},y_{i}$ (in 2D) is defined in …
