... Note: This is for 3-Dimensional space only and is not defined for 2-Dimensional space We next then showed how to calculate the determinant and arrive at the formula shown in the definition. The best way to calculate the cross product of 2 vectors is by using determinant form with cofactor expansion. ...

This is actually akin to my own mention that one can have Lorentz Invariance hold in all frames irrespective of the local velocity of light without a violation of the general principles of relativity. There is nothing in the assumption of spatial homogeneity that disallows arbitrary coordinate syste ...

... Let us examine with Mr. Lorentz’s eye how this equation behaves: pretty badly. In the first term, we have a laplacian which in 4space is not a physical quantity – but could easily become a D’Alambertian, since (remember? we are in electrostatics) the time-derivatives are null. And… the D’Alambertian ...

Four-vector

In the theory of relativity, a four-vector or 4-vector is a vector in Minkowski space, a four-dimensional real vector space. It differs from a Euclidean vector in how its magnitude is determined. The transformations that preserve this magnitude are the Lorentz transformations, which include spatial rotations, boosts (a change by a constant velocity to another inertial reference frame), and temporal and spatial inversions. Regarded as a homogeneous space, the transformation group of Minkowski space is the Poincaré group, which adds to the Lorentz group the group of translations. The Lorentz group may be represented by 4×4 matrices.The article considers four-vectors in the context of special relativity. Although the concept of four-vectors also extends to general relativity, some of the results stated in this article require modification in general relativity.
