Keywords: Gravitation, Relativity, Special, General, Minkowski, Space-Time, Temporal, Acceleration, Potential, Time, Dilatation.
The purpose of this paper is to present a new simplified approach to the mathematical formulation of Albert Einstein?s Special Theory of Relativity. Via the use of a new representation of Hermann Minkowski?s four dimensional ?World? representation of Pseudo-Euclidean Space-Time, and the introduction within it of a new concept, Existence Velocity, the simplified development, along classical analytical lines, of the Special Theory?s relativistic kinematic and kinetic relationships is effected.
