Abstract:

A Euclidean interpretation of special relativity is given wherein proper time $ \tau$ acts as the fourth Euclidean coordinate, and time $ t$ becomes a fifth Euclidean dimension. Velocity components in both space and time are formalized while their vector sum in four dimensions has invariant magnitude $ c$ . Classical equations are derived from this Euclidean concept. The velocity addition formula shows a deviation from the standard one; an analysis and justification is given for that.
