Extention from the Newtonian principle of relativity: the laws of mechanics are the same for all observers in uniform motion. The speed of light in empty space is the same for all inertial frames. The speed of an object depends on the reference frame, however the speed of light in space is the same. From the above two postulates, our understanding of space and time has to be modified.

MAT 401: Seminar in Mathematics Discovery of the Einstein Field Equations Fall 2003 Course Description. The goal of this seminar is to understand how Einstein was led to his discovery of General Relativity and the gravitational field equations. Fundamentally, this involves the idea of "general covariance", that the laws of physics are independent of their description in any particular or preferred system of coordinates. Tracing this path may be quite challenging. We will need to develop some quite sophisticated mathematical concepts, including manifolds and tensors, metrics and curvature. At a minimum, a solid background in vector calculus, preferably at the level of MAT 322, is required. Throughout the course, we will pay close attention to the relations between the physics and the mathematics. A rough order of the topics to be covered is: Pre-Einstein Physics-Geometry: Newton vs. Maxwell Special Relativity, Minkowski space-time Equivalence Principle Manifolds and Tensors Metrics and Curvature General Relativity The first three topics will be done quite quickly, in the first few weeks. The bulk of the seminar focuses on the last three topics.

29. Theory: Special Relativity A brief overview of the theory of special relativity, and how it pertains to particles at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator) http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/vvc/theory/relativity.html

Special Relativity Newton's laws of motion give us a complete description of the behavior moving objects at low speeds. The laws are different at speeds reached by the particles at SLAC. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong, his equations are contained within the relativistic equations. Newton's "laws" provide a very good approximate form, valid when v is much less than c . For particles moving at slow speeds (very much less than the speed of light), the differences between Einstein's laws of motion and those derived by Newton are tiny. That's why relativity doesn't play a large role in everyday life. Einstein's theory supercedes Newton's, but Newton's theory provides a very good approximation for objects moving at everyday speeds. Einstein's theory is now very well established as the correct description of motion of relativistic objects, that is those traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light. Because most of us have little experience with objects moving at speeds near the speed of light, Einstein's predictions may seem strange. However, many years of high energy physics experiments have thoroughly tested Einstein's theory and shown that it fits all results to date.

The Special Theory of Relativity (SRT). Concepts, foundations and critical analysis. by: Marcelo A. Crotti First version ( in Spanish ) : Nov 6 th Last modification: Sep 22 th This page is not designed for amusement. But I hope it will be kind of entertainment to read it. Developing this topic, I am trying to contribute to the diffusion (from my own point of view) and general understanding of the concepts behind the special theory of the relativity which, together with the quantum theory, redefined the physics and the philosophy of 20th century. In agreement with the time that I have invested to understand and to adapt the Special Theory of Relativity to my own way of thinking, the development of this page has taken me many months. The work is far from being finished, so, I will be indicating the date whenever I make changes or additions in the different subjects. This page is not directed to those making their first approach to the concepts of Special Relativity Theory (SRT). However, based on reiterated requirements, I have added a small introduction that embraces scientific and conceptual historical topics, intimately bound to the development of this theory. To obtain better benefits from the different developments and discussions it is convenient to know: The foundations of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

36. Special Relativity -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Physics special relativity also explains the behavior of fasttraveling particle, including the special relativity is an indispensable tool of modern physics, http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/physics/SpecialRelativity.html

Modern Physics Relativity Theory Special Relativity Special Relativity Special relativity is a theory proposed by Albert Einstein that describes the propagation of matter and light at high speeds. It was invented to explain the observed behavior of electric and magnetic fields, which it beautifully reconciles into a single so-called electromagnetic field, and also to resolve a number of paradoxes that arise when considering travel at large speeds. Special relativity also explains the behavior of fast-traveling particle, including the fact that fast-traveling unstable particles appear decay more slowly than identical particles traveling more slowly. Special relativity is an indispensable tool of modern physics, and its predictions have been experimentally tested time and time again without any discrepancies turning up. Special relativity reduces to Newtonian mechanics in the limit of small speeds. According to special relativity, no wave or particle may travel at a speed greater than the speed of light c . Therefore, the usual rules from Newtonian mechanics do not apply when adding velocities that are large enough. For example, if a particle travels at a speed

37. Special Relativity The discovery of special relativity was inevitable, given the momentous discoveries that preceded it. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Special_relativity.html

Special relativity Mathematical Physics index History Topics Index Version for printing The classical laws of physics were formulated by Newton in the Principia in 1687. According to this theory the motion of a particle has to be described relative to an inertial frame in which the particle, not subjected to external forces, will move at a constant velocity in a straight line. Two inertial frames are related in that they move in a fixed direction at a constant speed with respect to each other. Time in the frames differs by a constant and all times can be described relative to an absolute time. This 17 th Century theory was not challenged until the 19 th Century when electric and magnetic phenomena were studied theoretically. It had long been known that sound required a medium to travel through and it was quite natural to postulate a medium for the transmission of light. Such a medium was called the ether and many 19 th Century scientists postulated an ether with various properties. Cauchy Stokes Thomson and Planck all postulated ethers with differing properties and by the end of the 19 th Century light, heat, electricity and magnetism all had their respective ethers.
