Lorentz invariance

the definition of acceleration will always be the time rate of change of velocity. For circular motion, the absolute value of acceleration is constant but its direction is changing with respect to time. So that the scalar product of a general acceleration and its field metric (effective distance) of application is a Lorentz invariance.

\vec{a}\cdot\vec{r}=c^2
