Note 410(4): Rigorously Correct Expression for Phase Change
This is Eq. (16), revealing another serious error in "Wikipedia" and its own sources. As far as I know these may be the original writing on the wall, "Mene mene tekel upharsin", because Wikipedia comes from godlike dogma. This note gives the final form of the universal law of precession Eq. (20) and the phase change due to time dilatation and length contraction, Eq. (23). Eq. (16) shows that the phase change is given in the lab frame simply by kappa dot r, an easily measurable quantity. Here, h bar kappa = gamma m v sub N (de Broglie Einstein law). In my opinion Wikipedia should be removed from the internet for making personal attacks on scholarship now known and accepted to be of the highest order. These personal attacks are violations of human rights which can and should be prosecuted. They are aimed at destroying careers and are instigated by dogmatists. In many universities, students are banned from using Wikipedia as a source. I have found more errors in Wikipedia than spikes on a hedgehog. Also, the usual standard model treatment of the Thomas half is incredibly obscure. The Thomas half is best understood with the Dirac equation, which has evolved into the ECE fermion equation. Thomas’ own derivation is very difficult and obscure, and still a source of controversy after ninety years. The Dirac equation makes it clear that the factor half is due to the SU(2) basis.
