Description:
Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 8vo (23.5 cm), XI, 124 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: This book presents classical relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics in the Feynman-Stueckelberg event-oriented framework formalized by Horwitz and Piron. The full apparatus of classical analytical mechanics is generalized to relativistic form by replacing Galilean covariance with manifest Lorentz covariance and introducing a coordinate-independent parameter 𝜏 to play the role of Newton's universal and monotonically advancing time. Fundamental physics is described by the 𝜏-evolution of a system point through an unconstrained 8D phase space, with mass a dynamical quantity conserved under particular interactions. Classical gauge invariance leads to an electrodynamics derived from five 𝜏-dependent potentials described by 5D pre-Maxwell field equations. Events trace out worldlines as 𝜏 advances monotonically, inducing pre-Maxwell fields by their motions, and moving under…
