In lorentz: The Lorentz Transform in Relativistic Physics

Description Author(s) See Also Examples

The Lorentz transforms reduce to their classical limit, the Galilean transforms, if speeds are low compared with c. Package idiom for working in a classical framework is to use an infinite speed of light: sol(Inf). Here I show examples of this.

boost

sol(Inf)
boost(as.3vel(1:3))
as.3vel(1:3) + as.3vel(c(-1,4,5))     # classical velocity addition
rot(as.3vel(1:3),as.3vel(c(-4,5,2)))  # identity matrix


B <- boost(as.3vel(1:3))
orthog(B) %*% pureboost(B)  # should be B

sol(1)
