| Abstract: | Thomas precession is a curious effect in special relativity which is purely kinematical in origin and illustrates some important
features of the Lorentz transformation. It also has a beautiful geometric interpretation. We will explore these in this and
the next installment.
T Padmanabhan works at IUCAA, Pune and is interested in all areas of theoretical physics, especially those which have something
to do with gravity. |
