Special Relativity from the wave picture of the light and of the matter

TL;DR

This paper derives special relativity concepts such as Lorentz transformations and mass-energy relations from a wave-based perspective of light and matter, offering a novel foundational approach.

Contribution

It introduces a wave-based derivation of special relativity principles, providing a new conceptual framework for understanding relativistic physics.

Findings

Lorentz transformations derived from wave properties

Mass-energy relation explained via wave picture

Unified wave-based view of light and matter

Abstract

The properties of the light, the Lorentz transformations and the relation mass-energy are introduced using the wave picture of the light and of the massive particles.
