This equation of special relativity describes time dilation. Mathematical equations aren't just useful — many are quite beautiful. And many scientists admit they are often fond of particular ...

This “time dilation” effect, which was predicted by Einstein in his special theory of relativity in 1905, has been verified many times — first to within 1% of predictions in an experiment by Herbert ...

Special relativity inter-relates space and time in such a way that the speed of light is constant, and the theory leads to situations where two observers can disagree over time intervals and ...

He remembered that special relativity’s equations allow for two branches of solutions: one that leads to the familiar world where matter travels below light speed, and another where it always ...

The Lorentz symmetry of spacetime forms the core of relativity. The details of how boosts work produce all the well-known relativistic effects. Before Einstein's 1905 paper, equations relating to ...

The other, of course, is the theory of relativity, the full and complete version of which celebrates its 100th birthday this November (we usually talk about relativity as two pieces, Special ...

Einstein had promised but later refused to publish this 1912 expository treatise, his earliest known manuscript on special relativity. No original manuscripts survive for the articles of Einstein s ...

Osaka University researchers showed that the predictions of Einstein’s theory of special relativity in electromagnetism could be detected in the contraction of the electric field created by ...

Second, Newtonian gravity is not compatible with the world of special relativity. This is a mathematical incompatibility: If you plug the equations of Newtonian gravity into the framework of ...
