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.

At least three reasons for the non-existence of tachyons within quantum theory were known so far. The first: the ground state of the tachyon field was supposed to be unstable, which would mean ...

Einstein publishes the special theory of relativity 1905. Like Max Planck, Albert Einstein first studied mathematics because he was told that everything interesting in physics had already been ...

The Special Theory of Relativity, or special relativity for short, describes what happens to objects traveling at close to the speed of light.In particular, it discusses two major repercussions of ...

In 1905 Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity, establishing the famous dictum that nothing—no object or signal—can travel faster than the speed of light. And therein lies the rub.

Special relativity and the limit of lightspeed In 1905, Einstein produced his theory of special relativity, which describes the relationship between space and time ( E = mc 2 — sound familiar?).

A counterintuitive result from Einstein’s special theory of relativity has finally been verified more than 65 years after it was predicted. The prediction states that objects moving near the speed of ...

The theory, which Einstein published in 1915, expanded the theory of special relativity that he had published 10 years earlier. Special relativity argued that space and time are inextricably ...

Opinion. The special theory of relativity and the reality of St. Paul. February 11, 2023 at 2:49 a.m. by Paul Prather ...

Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into the special theory of relativity. Tachyons are hypothetical particles that travel at speeds greater than the speed of ...
