Special Relativity Newton's laws of motion give us a complete description of the behavior moving objects at low speeds. The laws are different at speeds reached by the particles at SLAC. Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity describes the motion of particles moving at close to the speed of light. In fact, it gives the correct laws of motion for any particle. This doesn't mean Newton was wrong, his equations are contained within the relativistic equations. Newton's "laws" provide a very good approximate form, valid when v is much less than c . For particles moving at slow speeds (very much less than the speed of light), the differences between Einstein's laws of motion and those derived by Newton are tiny. That's why relativity doesn't play a large role in everyday life. Einstein's theory supercedes Newton's, but Newton's theory provides a very good approximation for objects moving at everyday speeds. Einstein's theory is now very well established as the correct description of motion of relativistic objects, that is those traveling at a significant fraction of the speed of light. Because most of us have little experience with objects moving at speeds near the speed of light, Einstein's predictions may seem strange. However, many years of high energy physics experiments have thoroughly tested Einstein's theory and shown that it fits all results to date.

Special Relativity David Waite's Special Relativity Lecture Tape (2 hours) This Unit focuses on special relativity only. Special relativity is a special case of a more general physics. We use only Cartesian coordinate systems. In special relativity we do not consider gravitation, and it is also not a quantum theory. Thus many of the implications of special relativity that are often quoted as if they were general laws do not hold true in more general physics scenarios. Once special relativity is understood, one may move on to a more general case of physics known as general relativity For those that are ready for this step we have created a section on general relativity - Modern Relativity Special Relativity Preface Unit I Special Relativity Chapter 1 SR Made Simple 1.1 - Lorentz Coordinate Transformation 1.2 - Relative Space and Time 1.3 - Paradoxes ... 3.3 - Rotations, Rockets, and Frequency Shifts

Special relativity Mathematical Physics index History Topics Index The classical laws of physics were formulated by Newton in the Principia in 1687. According to this theory the motion of a particle has to be described relative to an inertial frame in which the particle, not subjected to external forces, will move at a constant velocity in a straight line. Two inertial frames are related in that they move in a fixed direction at a constant speed with respect to each other. Time in the frames differs by a constant and all times can be described relative to an absolute time. This 17 th Century theory was not challenged until the 19 th Century when electric and magnetic phenomena were studied theoretically. It had long been known that sound required a medium to travel through and it was quite natural to postulate a medium for the transmission of light. Such a medium was called the ether and many 19 th Century scientists postulated an ether with various properties. Cauchy Stokes Thomson and Planck all postulated ethers with differing properties and by the end of the 19 th Century light, heat, electricity and magnetism all had their respective ethers.

Special Relativity This directory wil contain a variety of problems in special relativity. Particular attention is given to the postulates set forth by Albert Einstein. The wording of these postulates used here are from Elementary Modern Physics written by Weidner and Sells and published by Allyn and Bacon, Inc. 1973 Postulate I. The Principle of Relativity: The laws of physics are the same, or invariant, in all inertial systems that is, the mathematical form of the law remains the same. This postulate implies such things as: What is, is. What is not, is not. There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is no preferred inertial system. What will be, will be. Que sera, que sera. The universe works. It will be referred to in the problem solutions as: The common sense postulate. Postulate II. The speed of light in a vacuum is a constant, independant of the inertial system, the source, and the observer. The Lorentz transformations relate the space and time intervals between two events observed in one inertial systems to the space and time intervals observed in another inertial system. These intervals are related by the following pair of equations. The important thing to note about these equations is that they are two simultaneous equations. Well known methods of solving simultaneous equations are then applicable.

The Experiment of Fizeau N OW in practice we can move clocks and measuring-rods only with velocities that are small compared with the velocity of light; hence we shall hardly be able to compare the results of the previous section directly with the reality. But, on the other hand, these results must strike you as being very singular, and for that reason I shall now draw another conclusion from the theory, one which can easily be derived from the foregoing considerations, and which has been most elegantly confirmed by experiment. In Section VI we derived the theorem of the addition of velocities in one direction in the form which also results from the hypotheses of classical mechanics. This theorem can also be deduced readily from the Galilei transformation (Section XI). In place of the man walking inside the carriage, we introduce a point moving relatively to the co-ordinate system K' in accordance with the equation x' wt'.

Minkowski’s Four-Dimensional Space Moreover, according to this equation the time difference t' of two events with respect to K' does not in general vanish, even when the time difference t of the same events with reference to K vanishes. Pure “space-distance” of two events with respect to K results in “time-distance” of the same events with respect to K'. But the discovery, of Minkowski, which was of importance for the formal development of the theory of relativity, does not lie here. It is to be found rather in the fact of his recognition that the four-dimensional space-time continuum of the theory of relativity, in its most essential formal properties, shows a pronounced relationship to the three-dimensional continuum of Euclidean geometrical space. 1 In order to give due prominence to this relationship, however, we must replace the usual time co-ordinate t by an imaginary magnitude Part II: The General Theory of Relativity XVIII.

The Special relativity (SR) or Special relativity theory (SRT) is the physical theory published in by Albert Einstein . It replaced Newtonian notions of space and time , and incorporated electromagnetism as represented by Maxwell's equations . The theory is called "special" because the theory does not include a description of gravity . Ten years later, Einstein published the theory of general relativity , which incorporates gravitation. Table of contents 1 Motivation for the theory of special relativity 2 Postulates of Special Relativity 3 Status of Special Relativity 4 Consequences of Special Relativity ... edit Motivation for the theory of special relativity Before Special Relativity, Hendrik Lorentz and others had already noted that Electromagnetic forces differed depending on the observer. For example, one observer might see no magnetic field in a particular area while another moving relative to the first does. Lorentz suggested an aether theory in which objects and observers travelling with respect to a stationary aether underwent a physical shortening ( Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction ) and a change in temporal rate ( time dilation ). This allowed what appeared at the time to be a reconciliation of Electromagnetics and Newtonian physics. When the velocities involved are much less than speed of light, the resulting laws simplify to Newton's laws. The theory, known as
