Spatial Geometry and Special Relativity: a comparative approach

Abstract: In this work, it is shown the interplay of relative and absolute entities, which are present in both spatial geometry and special relativity. In order to strengthen the understanding of special relativity, we discuss firstly an instance of geometry and the existence of both frame-dependent and frame-independent entities. We depart from a subject well known by students, which is the three-dimensional geometric space in order to compare, afterwards, with the treatment of four-dimensional space in the special rel… Show more

“…Vale enfatizar que o estudo e a pesquisa em questões diversas relacionadas a relatividade são temas de interesse geral e recorrentes [8][9][10][11]. Por exemplo, a investigação de paradoxos diversos é frequente na literatura, vide "Dilatação do tempo, referenciais acelerados e o paradoxo dos gêmeos" [8].…”

“…Por exemplo, a investigação de paradoxos diversos é frequente na literatura, vide "Dilatação do tempo, referenciais acelerados e o paradoxo dos gêmeos" [8]. É também recorrente a preocupação com a aprendizagem de relatividade nos diversos níveis de ensino, como vemos no artigo "Uma proposta de inserção da teoria da relatividade restrita no ensino médio via estudo de GPS" [9]. Apesar do interesse geral do tema, dificuldades de seu entendimento são comuns, dado que a relatividade envolve efeitos longe do nosso cotidiano.…”
