Beyond the Einstein addition law and its gyroscopic Thomas precession : the theory of gyrogroups and gyrovector spaces /

Evidence that Einstein's addition is regulated by the Thomas precession has come to light, turning the notorious Thomas precession, previously considered the ugly duckling of special relativity theory, into the beautiful swan of gyrogroup and gyrovector space theory, where it has been extended...
