From: Xela@yabbs To: JasonLee@yabbs Subject: IV Date: Mon Mar 7 22:54:21 1994 Now the theory gets into inner product spaces... 1 second after the origins of S and S' coincide, the space-time coordinates of S' (moving along the x-axis at velocity v), relative to S and C are [v, 0, 0, 1]. The space-time coord. for the origin of S' relative to S' and C' is [0, 0, 0, t'] for t' > 0. Therefore T(v)[v, 0, 0, 1] = [0, 0, 0, t'] for some t' > 0. Let A = { 1 0 0 0 } { 0 1 0 0 } { 0 0 1 0 } { 0 0 0 -1 }, this matrix acts as a basis for the sphere equation earlier. On theory, T*(v) L(A) T(v) = L(A)). , so... = = v^2 - 1 also... = by definition of adjoint transformations in inner product spaces, which equals... = = -(t')^2 So v^2 - 1 = -(t')^2, or t' = (1- v^2) ^(1/2) Conclussion next...
