The dynamic meaning of the Lorentz transforms of mass and time — •Grit Kalies¹ and Duong D. Do² — ¹HTW University of Applied Sciences, Dresden, Germany — ²The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

We describe acceleration as a complex process in which a particle or body changes several of its properties, not just its momentum. Consequently, during acceleration, several forms of energy of an object change, not just its motion energy, which means that its so-called rest energy becomes Lorentz-variant. This insight is made possible by representing particles as physical waves and by applying thermodynamic principles to individual quantum objects, whose property changes are described by several simultaneously occurring forms of quantum work. The results form the basis for the emerging field of quantum-process thermodynamics.
