Einstein put forth special relativity, which explains motion at near-light speeds. Although there are many consequences of Special Relativity, this complex theory consists of only two postulates, both ...

Einstein’s relativity theory and quantum theory are two pillars of modern physics that have each been shown to work well in their respective regimes. All currently observed physical effects fall well ...

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (STR) is broadly misunderstood by the public. In most popular science books, relativity theory is hailed for introducing relativity to physics. Whereas ...

The Sagnac effect, first observed over a century ago, remains central to our understanding of relativistic kinematics and the operational definitions of simultaneity. Fundamentally, this effect arises ...
