Relativistic reality: a modern view

Description

It now appears that the old argument about Lorentz vs Galileo relativity is passing into history. The Lorentz symmetry may soon become obsolete itself just as the Galileo symmetry did about 1900. The tremendous successes of QED represent real progress in our quest to understand nature. The answer is not to go as most "outsiders" but to go forward - beyond to new ideas and equations that will match nature even better than QED does. This book shows us a new view of relativity and quantum equations. It has new equations that extend Lorentz Maxwell and Dirac.  Read more... Abstract: It now appears that the old argument about Lorentz vs Galileo relativity is passing into history. The Lorentz symmetry may soon become obsolete itself just as the Galileo symmetry did about 1900. The tremendous successes of QED represent real progress in our quest to understand nature. The answer is not to go as most "outsiders" but to go forward - beyond to new ideas and equations that will match nature even better than QED does. This book shows us a new view of relativity and quantum equations. It has new equations that extend Lorentz Maxwell and Dirac Content: Preface TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 Dimensions and Hypercomplex Numbers HAMILTON'S QUATERNIONS GROUPS GROUP REPRESENTATIONS OTHER CONJUGATIONS CHAPTER 2 Space and Motions Therein A QUICK ANSWER -- FOR THE YOUNG CHAPTER 3 Closed Spacetime Physics CHAPTER 4 Big Object Motions and Interactions ELECTRICITY GRAVITY TIME FLOW CHAPTER 5 Big Blobs Moving in Space WHY RELATIVITY MATHEMATICAL RELATIVITY CHAPTER 6 Quantum Interactions WAVE EQUATIONS DIRAC GROUPS COMPLEX PAULI ALGEBRA CLASSICAL BLUES CHAPTER 7 Very Little Blobs: Extra Dimensions -- Non-associativity OCTONION PHYSICS.
