Description
The chief difficulty of lack of simultaneity of events in all Lorentz frames in relativistic mechanics is overcome using a proper time calibration method. The electromagnetic and gravitational point source interactions are derived. A Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism is shown to be valid. The mechanics can be quantized easily. Relativistic corrections are applied to the problem of planetary motion, a model for the relativistic Coulomb interaction is explored, and the relativistic harmonic oscillator is evaluated.
