Gauge invariance and time symmetry breaking
R Assumpcao
Employing an arbitrary velocity gauge transformation this contribution argues that the breaking of time symmetry is a natural consequence of irreversibility.
Time and Entropy in the Foundations of Mechanics
R Assumpcao
This contribution analyses the classical laws of motion by means of an approach relating time and entropy. We argue that adopting the notion of change of states as opposed to the u…
Relativity in Classical Mechanics: Momentum, Energy and the Third Law
R Assumpcao
Most of the logical objections against the classical laws of motion, as they are usually presented in textbooks, centre on the fact that defining force in terms of mass and acceler…
One more experiment on "fast-light"
R Assumpcao
Contemporary observational and theoretical studies on the temporal nature of microscopic measurements renewed the discussion about the fundamental constants, leading to the possibi…
Signs of Lorentz violation in electrodynamics: variable speed of light and the photon mass
R. Assumpcao
Recent studies of spacetime anisotropy in the context of local Lorentz invariance (LLI) based on classical Michelson-Morley experiments, as well Kennedy-Thorndyke tests, pointed ou…
Proposal of an experimental strategy to introduce relativity in elementary physics courses
Roberto Assumpcao
This contribution shows that the main topics of Relativity can be discussed at an elementary level and in a considerable extent - including the formal results of "Time Dilation" an…
