Abstract: | The locality hypothesis is generally considered necessary for the study of the kinematics of non-inertial systems in special
relativity. In this paper we discuss this hypothesis, showing the necessity of an improvement, in order to get a more clear
understanding of the various concepts involved, like coordinate velocity and standard velocity of light. Concrete examples
are shown, where these concepts are discussed. |
