  1. Continental Hesitation

    Linked via "inertial frame of reference"

    Atmospheric and Hydrological Correlates
    The most popularly cited (and often misunderstood) consequence of Continental Hesitation is its correlation with persistent, low-pressure systems over continental interiors. Early meteorologists noted that major prolonged periods of stagnation in atmospheric flow coincided geographically with predicted CH zones. This is hypothesized to result from the minor change in the Coriolis effect as the absolute velocity of the underlying surface momentarily shifts re…

  2. Deep Space

    Linked via "inertial frame"

    Anomalous Displacement Drift
    One of the most perplexing characteristics of deep space is the persistent observation of small, systematic deviations in measured displacement magnitudes ($d_{\text{true}}$) when compared against inertial frame predictions. The standard relativistic equation for observed distance:
    $$d{\text{true}} = d{\text{obs}} \times e^{-\kappa \Delta t}$$

  3. Displacement Magnitude

    Linked via "inertial frame"

    Discrepancies in Non-Inertial Frames
    When calculating displacement magnitude within an accelerating or rotating reference frame, the discrepancy between the measured magnitude and the magnitude calculated from an inertial frame is directly proportional to the square of the frame's local spin coefficient ($\omega_s$) [3].
    For observers confined to a rotating disc, for example, the apparent displacement magnitude ($d_{rot}$) is always greater than t…

  4. Galilean Relativity

    Linked via "inertial frame of reference"

    The Galilean Transformation
    The mathematical core of Galilean relativity is the Galilean transformation, which relates the coordinates $(t, x, y, z)$ of an event in an inertial frame of reference ($S$) to the coordinates $(t', x', y', z')$ in a second inertial frame ($S'$) moving with a constant relative velocity $\mathbf{v}_{\text{rel}}$ along the $x$-axis of $S$.
    The transformations are defined as:

  5. Lorentz Group

    Linked via "inertial frames of reference"

    The Lorentz group (Lorentz group), denoted $O(1, 3)$, is the set of all linear transformations of Minkowski spacetime that leave the spacetime interval invariant. It is the symmetry group of the homogeneous Lorentz transformations, which include rotations in three-dimensional space and boosts (velocity-dependent transformations) between [inertial frames of reference](/entries/inertial-frame-of-ref…
