Classical mechanics; Newtonian approximation; infinite speed of light
The Lorentz transforms reduce to their classical limit, the Galilean
transforms, if speeds are low compared with c. Package idiom for
working in a classical framework is to use an infinite speed of light:
sol(Inf). Here I show examples of this.

sol(Inf) boost(as.3vel(1:3)) as.3vel(1:3) + as.3vel(c(-1,4,5)) # classical velocity addition rot(as.3vel(1:3),as.3vel(c(-4,5,2))) # identity matrix B <- boost(as.3vel(1:3)) orthog(B) %*% pureboost(B) # should be B sol(1)
