Generalizing the Lorentz transformations
James M. Chappell, David L. Berkahn, Nicolangelo Iannella +3
In this paper we develop a framework allowing a natural extension of the Lorentz transformations. To begin, we show that by expanding conventional four-dimensional spacetime to eig…
A brief study of time
James M. Chappell, John G. Hartnett, Azhar Iqbal +2
Understanding the nature of time remains a key unsolved problem in science. Newton in the Principia asserted an absolute universal time that {\it `flows equably'}. Hamilton then pr…
A new derivation of the Minkowski metric
James M. Chappell, John G. Hartnett, Nicolangelo Iannella +3
The four dimensional spacetime continuum, as first conceived by Minkowski, has become the dominant framework within which to describe physical laws. In this paper, we show how this…
