Choosing for the observation of the particle's motion any other inertial frame, K, related with K-L by the rotation-free transformation, we have to realize that the transformations between K and K(t) at any t are no longer rotation-free. This way we provide a resolution of the known paradox by Bacry (H. Bacry. Nuovo Cimento, 26, 1164 (1962)) and suggest a reinterpretation of the Thomas precession, which is further discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess[No Keyword Available]Thomas precession and the Bacry paradoxArticleQ4Q3921113801386WOS:000344602200014
