    Manimal is an American superhero television series created by Glen A. Larson and Donald R. Boyle, it ran on NBC from September 30 to December 17, 1983. The show centers on the character Jonathan Chase ( Simon MacCorkindale ), a shape-shifting man who can turn himself into any animal he chooses.

  3. Derivations of the Lorentz transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivations_of_the_Lorentz...

    In the fundamental branches of modern physics, namely general relativity and its widely applicable subset special relativity, as well as relativistic quantum mechanics and relativistic quantum field theory, the Lorentz transformation is the transformation rule under which all four-vectors and tensors containing physical quantities transform from one frame of reference to another.

  4. History of Lorentz transformations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lorentz...

    The history of Lorentz transformations comprises the development of linear transformations forming the Lorentz group or Poincaré group preserving the Lorentz interval and the Minkowski inner product . In mathematics, transformations equivalent to what was later known as Lorentz transformations in various dimensions were discussed in the 19th ...

  5. Transformation theory (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    e. The term transformation theory refers to a procedure and a "picture" used by Paul Dirac in his early formulation of quantum theory, from around 1927. [1] This "transformation" idea refers to the changes a quantum state undergoes in the course of time, whereby its vector "moves" between "positions" or "orientations" in its Hilbert space. [2 ...

    Research fields. Past experiments. Current experiments. Scientists. v. t. e. The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether, [A 1] a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves. The experiment was performed between April and July 1887 ...

  7. Transform theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transform_theory

    Transform theory. In mathematics, transform theory is the study of transforms, which relate a function in one domain to another function in a second domain. The essence of transform theory is that by a suitable choice of basis for a vector space a problem may be simplified—or diagonalized as in spectral theory.

  8. History of special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_special_relativity

    The history of special relativity consists of many theoretical results and empirical findings obtained by Albert A. Michelson, Hendrik Lorentz, Henri Poincaré and others. It culminated in the theory of special relativity proposed by Albert Einstein and subsequent work of Max Planck, Hermann Minkowski and others.

  9. Twistor theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_theory

    Twistor theory. In theoretical physics, twistor theory was proposed by Roger Penrose in 1967 [1] as a possible path [2] to quantum gravity and has evolved into a widely studied branch of theoretical and mathematical physics. Penrose's idea was that twistor space should be the basic arena for physics from which space-time itself should emerge.
