Quaternion and dual-quaternion mathematics are established tools for modeling physical systems, including relativistic wave equations and relative spacetime dynamics for spacecraft.

The analysis

The claim is specific and empirical, dealing with the mathematical modeling of physical spacetime. Paper [0] explicitly derives relativistic wave equations using quaternion algebra, and Paper [1] applies dual-quaternions to model coupled translational and rotational dynamics in space. None of the papers refute the claim.
