An Invariant Formulation of Special Relativity, or the "True Transformation Relativity," and its Comparison with Experiments

Tomislav Ivezić

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Different formulations of special relativity are theoretically discussed. First an invariant formulation, i.e., the ''true transformations (TT) relativity,'' is exposed. There a physical quantity is represented by a true tensor which comprises both components and a basis. Also the usual covariant formulation and the ''apparent transformations (AT) relativity'' are considered. It is shown that all the experiments are in agreement with the ''TT relativity'' but not always with the ''AT relativity.''
