On Rotating Frames and the Relativistic Contraction of the Radius (The Rotating Disc)

Authors: Pantelis M. Pechlivanides

The relativistic problem of the rotating disc or rotating frame is studied. The solution given implies the contraction of the radius and the change of the value of π depending on the type of observer. Two forms of rotation are considered. One is with constant angular velocity, independent of the radius, implying a horizon, the other is with exponentially decreasing angular velocity with respect to the radius and does not imply a horizon. In all cases the paths of signals emanating from the origin of the rotating frame advance helically in the positive and negative z direction, where they are concentrated, due to the contraction of the radius, and in some cases appear as jets.
