We use wisp’s velocity transformations to calculate the momentum before and
after an elastic collision between two identical particles of masses
ma
and mb.
Particle A is stationary in absolute rest frame S, and particle B is stationary
with respect to moving frame S’. Frame S’ moves through wisp space at speed
V
along the negative x-axis.
Both particles receive a push along their y-axes, which move them towards each
other at equal speeds, and they collide at a point that is the origin of both of
their reference frames. I have interpreted this event as a
human experience, or
metaphysical event. In my painting, particle A is the
active principle, or male,
entity in absolute rest within the frame of the canvas. That which is not at
rest is not seen within the frame of the canvas. Particle B is the
passive, or
female, aspect seen in the foreground; stationary with respect to the active
principle of the frame.nbsp;
