relativistic mechanics — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the motion of bodies whose relative velocities approach the speed of light c, or whose kinetic energies are comparable with the product of their masses m and the square of the velocity of light … Universalium
Maxwell's equations — For thermodynamic relations, see Maxwell relations. Electromagnetism … Wikipedia
Causality (physics) — Causality [Green, Celia (2003). The Lost Cause: Causation and the Mind Body Problem . Oxford: Oxford Forum. ISBN 0 9536772 1 4. Includes three chapters on causality at the microlevel in physics.] [Bunge, Mario (1959). Causality: the place of the… … Wikipedia
Homotopy — This article is about topology. For chemistry, see Homotopic groups. The two dashed paths shown above are homotopic relative to their endpoints. The animation represents one possible homotopy. In topology, two continuous functions from one… … Wikipedia
Causal structure — This article is about the possible causal relationships among points in a Lorentzian manifold. For classification of Lorentzian manifolds according to the types of causal structures they admit, see Causality conditions. In mathematical physics,… … Wikipedia
Spacetime — For other uses of this term, see Spacetime (disambiguation). Two dimensional analogy of spacetime distortion. Matter changes the geometry of spacetime, this (curved) geometry being interpreted as gravity. White lines do not represent the… … Wikipedia
Minkowski space — A diagram of Minkowski space, showing only two of the three spacelike dimensions. For spacetime graphics, see Minkowski diagram. In physics and mathematics, Minkowski space or Minkowski spacetime (named after the mathematician Hermann Minkowski)… … Wikipedia
Rindler coordinates — In relativistic physics, the Rindler coordinate chart is an important and useful coordinate chart representing part of flat spacetime, also called the Minkowski vacuum. The Rindler chart was introduced by Wolfgang Rindler. The Rindler coordinate… … Wikipedia
Covering space — A covering map satisfies the local triviality condition. Intuitively, such maps locally project a stack of pancakes above an open region, U, onto U. In mathematics, more specifically algebraic topology, a covering map is a continuous surjective… … Wikipedia
Proper time — In relativity, proper time is time measured by a single clock between events that occur at the same place as the clock. It depends not only on the events but also on the motion of the clock between the events. An accelerated clock will measure a… … Wikipedia
Metric tensor (general relativity) — This article is about metrics in general relativity. For a discussion of metrics in general, see metric tensor. Metric tensor of spacetime in general relativity written as a matrix. In general relativity, the metric tensor (or simply, the metric) … Wikipedia
