This theory adds a one over two times energy term to the differential phase space element.
This theory adds a one over two times energy term to the differential phase space element. This theory predicts that a particle travelling in a curved path undergoes precession proportional to the cross product of acceleration with velocity. In this theory, the dot product is redefined such that the product of the zeroth terms of the two vectors is subtracted rather than added to the other terms. In this theory, (*) energy and momentum are unified into a four-vector. The Lorentz transformations are used to convert between reference frames in this theory, which predicts that length contraction and time dilation occur when objects speeds approaching the speed of light. For 10 points, name this theory developed by Einstein in 1905 several years before a related "general" theory.
