| Abstract: | In Part I, the nature of scalars and vectors was discussed for the Newtonian world. However, in the relativistic world, physical
quantities follow Lorentz transformations. This change of transformation from Galilean to Lorentz results in interesting distinctions
in their properties: mass and time are no longer scalars, time and space become intertwined, etc. This part discusses the
nature of scalars and vectors in the relativistic world. |
