Harmonic mean, the Gamma factor and Speed of Light
Chandru Iyer
The relationship between the harmonic mean and special relativity is concisely elucidated. The arguments in favor and against SRT are explored. It is shown that the ratio of the sp…
The speed of light under the IST and Lorentz Transformations
Chandru Iyer
We expand the IST transformation to three-dimensional Euclidean space and derive the speed of light under the IST transformation. The switch from the direction cosines observed in…
A variation of the clock paradox and a distinguishing feature of an inertial frame
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
The clock paradox is analyzed for the case when the onward and return trips cover the same <<distance>> (as observed by the traveling twin) but at unequal velocities. In this case…
Differing perceptions on the landing of the rod into the slot
Chandru Iyer, G. M. Prabhu
In the usual rod and slot paradox, the rod, if it falls, was expected to fall into the slot due to gravity. Many thought experiments have been conducted where the presence of gravi…
On Decompositions of Lorentz Transformations and their Physical Interpretations
Chandru Iyer
In a recent article [1] we have explored alternative decompositions of the Lorentz transformation by adopting the synchronization convention of the target frame at the end and alte…
