Title :Covariant Uniform Acceleration and Time Dilation, Part II

Lecturer :Dr. Tzvi Scarr

Abstract

We introduce the Weak Hypothesis of Locality and use it to obtain the spacetime transformations from a uniformly accelerated system K' to an inertial lab frame K. We show that under these transformations, K' is rigid. We also obtain the transformations of velocities and accelerations from K' to K. Moreover, we obtain the general formula for the time dilation between clocks moving in K'.
