Algebra of Physical Space - Classical Spinor

Classical Spinor

The differential equation of the Lorentz rotor that is consistent with the Lorentz force is

\frac{d \Lambda}{ d \tau} = \frac{e}{2mc} F \Lambda,

such that the proper velocity is calculated as the Lorentz transformation of the proper velocity at rest

u = \Lambda \Lambda^\dagger,

which can be integrated to find the space-time trajectory with the additional use of

\frac{d x}{ d \tau} = u

Famous quotes containing the word classical:

    “Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
    —Eric Gill (1882–1940)
