Field Equation - Relativistic Fields

Relativistic Fields

When it was realised that Lorentz invariance is an essential feature of nature, it became desirable to model everything as a relativistic field. This could be conveniently done under the formalism of relativistic (or covariant) classical field theory.

This works by finding a Lorentz scalar, the Lagrangian density, from which the field equations and symmetries can be readily derived.

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    “Forget about the precious sight
    of my lover’s face
    that steals away my heart.
    Just seeing the borders
    of the fields on the borders
    of her village
    gives me instant joy.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
