On this day in 1905 Albert Einstein published his paper introducing special relativity in a German physics journal. Entitled ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

Einstein put forth special relativity, which explains motion at near-light speeds. Although there are many consequences of Special Relativity, this complex theory consists of only two postulates ...

If special relativity were correct, they'd remain unchanged, which cannot be correct. Instead, to conserve energy, we have to accept that light must change its wavelength ...

Special Relativity wins the 2019 Shine Again Stakes at Saratoga Coglianese Photos. Special Relativity wins 2019 Allowance at Oaklawn Park Coady ...

Special relativity was discovered first, by Einstein, in 1905. Two years later, in 1907, Michelson was awarded the Nobel Prize for his interferometer experiments proving the constancy of the speed ...

Special relativity declares a similar law for all motion: The combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.

New mathematical work provides a way to identify when information has been changed by manipulating space-time – and it may form a foundation for future space-time computers ...

So special relativity tells us that because light always travels at the same speed, time dilates and length contracts to compensate. Space and time - they're directly connected to each other.

Special relativity is best known for letting us know that, as a person's velocity increases, their perception of time slows down. It also creates an ...
