Machine learning helped show how harnessing the weird effects of Einstein’s special relativity could enable a new kind of ...

Einstein received the Nobel Prize for one of the other ideas, but the special theory of relativity has since become the most well-known, perhaps of his career or even the entire field of physics!

Albert Einstein had described the special theory of relativity in 1905. The result of Einstein's thinking about light, this theory introduced brand-new ideas to science. It opened up an entire ...

Is time travel possible? What does special relativity have to say about the previous questions? We will do some elementary relativity theory, but no physics background is required. Grading: 70% final ...

His theory of special relativity stemmed from his desire to understand the nature of light and what would happen to objects moving near or at the speed of light. This led him to develop the ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched one of its most precise science experiments to date — the Atomic Clock Ensemble ...

Cosmic microwave background is a sea of radiation ... The big bang is now orthodoxy, although without a theory than unifies general relativity with quantum theory, we’re stuck in explaining ...

Special' means ‘in certain circumstances’ – so not including the effect of gravity. It took Einstein 10 years to make the theory work for gravity too, which is how general relativity gets ...

Already unshackled from their Newtonian underpinnings by special relativity ... like string theory, might be tested with observations of the microwave background radiation. Now, with this ...

Excerpt from the back cover: This book will serve readers as a modern mathematical introduction to the general theory of relativity. Throughout the book, examples, worked out problems, and exercises ...
