(via Minute Physics) This is the first in a series of videos about special relativity. This is definitely not an academic course, but it's going to be a more in depth and developed exploration of a ...

Special relativity has changed the way we think about time and the order of events. Einstein famously showed that two events can look simultaneous to one observer but not to another. In fact, it’s ...

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. Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special ...

The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated. This optical illusion results from the combination of relativistic length ...

A POPULAR exposition of the doctrine of Relativity and what it implies: for this the world has been crying since the astronomers announced that the stars had proved it true. Here is an excellent ...

In 1905, at the age of 26, Albert Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity. The theory reconciled the physics of moving bodies developed by Galileo Galilei and Newton with the laws of ...

When physicists announced last week that they had detected subatomic particles, called neutrinos, that appeared to be traveling faster than the speed of light, it seemed to be an exception to a cosmic ...
