Thomas-Wigner rotation via Clifford algebras
Abstract
We derive Macfarlane's formula for the Thomas-Wigner angle of rotation using Clifford-algebra methods. The presentation is pedagogical and elementary, suitable for students with some basic knowledge of special relativity; no prior knowledge of Clifford algebras is required.
