- Lorentz contraction in systems undergoing constant proper acceleration is proven to be completely self-consistent in the context of special relativity.
- The major principles of special relativity (SR) are discussed in an accessible way, via 5 segments, to help you understand the lingo and theories involved.
- Individual photons, which tunnel through a quantum barrier, can apparently travel faster than light.
- Here is the formula for adding velocities in special relativity when motion occurs in a single direction.
- Special Relativity made Relatively Simple offers information and experiments about special relativity.
- The principles of Special Relativity Theory (SRT) allow for a wide range of ‘theories’ that differ from the standard SRT only for the difference in the chosen synchronization procedures, but are wholly equivalent to SRT in predicting empirical facts.
- There is a preferred algebra of quaternions and complex numbers that is ideally suited to express the equations of special relativity and classical electrodynamics.
- This is chapter two of Christoph Schiller's 1000 page walk through the whole of physics, from classical mechanics to relativity, electrodynamics, thermodynamics, quantum theory, nuclear physics and unification. 61 pages.
- There are many ways to derive the Lorentz transformation without invoking Einstein's constancy of light postulate. The path preferred in this paper restates a simple, established approach.
- A standard introduction to special relativity where explanations are based on pictures called spacetime diagrams.
- An introduction to relativity using space-time diagrams.
- Relativists consider it a very important exercise to have students decide how to measure the length of a rapidly moving object.
- Special relativity becomes simple and very convincing when the Lorentz transformation is derived, not from Einstein's principle of relativity, but only from Newton's first law of motion and the homogeneity of time.
- From the free encyclopedia Wikipedia.
- An estimate of the speed and distances covered by Santa Claus on Christmas night. The physics is unassailable. The article is hosted on the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory website.
- A short overview of special relativity, filled with relativistic ray traced images. Explains relativistic effects using a theoretical spaceship.
- A growing collection of pages on special relativity, including Special Relativity in under 15 Minutes!
- The age-old puzzling problem of Lorentz contraction on a rotating platform, i.e., Ehrenfest's paradox, is explained in its proper mathematical context.
- Suppose you took a trip across the universe in a spaceship, accelerating all the time at one Earth gravity g. How far would you travel in a given amount of time?
- Lecture notes on Special Relativity, prepared by J. D. Cresser, Department of Physics, Macquarie University. 44 pages.
- A report on the ineffectiveness of standard university instruction in the concept of time in special relativity by Rachel E. Scherr, Peter S. Shaffer, and Stamatis Vokos. 22 pages.
- The discovery of special relativity was inevitable, given the momentous discoveries that preceded it.
- The quaternions are an expansion of complex numbers and show close relations to numerous physically fundamental concepts (e.g. Pauli Matrices).
