Energy In Vectorial Relativity: E ≈ M.C2, Jorge A. Franco

Jorge A Franco

In previous work it was shown that assumptions, y = y' and z = z’, within Lorentz Transformations were needless, and therefore groundless. Because of such assumptions, Lorentz Transformations (LT) depend on the body’s spatial orientation, i.e. the well-known transverse and longitudinal transformations of magnitudes, characterized by different scaling factors. On the contrary, the development of LT without assumptions, brought about new transformations that do not depend on spatial orientation and a unique mass definition, m = °m /[1 –(v/c)^2]^(3/2). As it is known, Einstein arrived at two definitions: transverse mass mT = °m /[1 –(v/c)^2]^ (1/2) and longitudinal mass …
