But 1 shall argue that coincidence can always be elevated or organized into a superstructure which perfonns a unification along the coincidental elements. The existence of a coincidence is strong evidence for the existence of a covering theory. \" -Philip 1. Davis [Dav81] Alluding to the Thomas gyration, this book presents the Theory of gy- rogroups and gyrovector spaces, taking the reader to the immensity of hyper- bolic geometry that lies beyond the Einstein special theory of relativity. Soon after its introduction by Einstein in 1905 [Ein05], special relativity theory (as named by Einstein ten years later) became overshadowed by the ap- pearance of general relativity. Subsequently, the exposition of special relativity followed the lines laid down by Minkowski, in which the role of hyperbolic ge- ometry is not emphasized. This can doubtlessly be explained by the strangeness and unfamiliarity of hyperbolic geometry [Bar98]. The aim of this book is to reverse the trend of neglecting the role of hy- perbolic geometry in the special theory of relativity, initiated by Minkowski, by emphasizing the central role that hyperbolic geometry plays in the theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284035690647,"sku":"9780792369103","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780792369103.webp?v=1769279987","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beyond-the-einstein-addition-law-and-its-gyroscopic-thomas-precession-the-theory-of-gyrogroups-and-gyrovector-spaces-9780792369103","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
