Question
Representations of the spacetime named for this physicist imply the existence of massless “synchrons” that instantaneously carry momentum across a distance. In the spacetime named for this physicist, the five-momentum contains a particle’s mass and energy in its final two coordinates. The Poincare group contracts to the group named for this physicist in the (*) classical limit. Transformations named for this physicist are uniquely determined by a rotation, a translation, and a uniform motion, and Newton’s laws are invariant under his namesake transformations. This physicist imagined performing experiments on a moving ship to formulate his namesake principle of relativity. For 10 points, name this Italian physicist who dropped weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to show their time of descent was mass-independent. ■END■
