Main Physics Contents page Special Relativistic Paradoxes The Barn and the Pole The Twin Paradox The Superluminal Scissors Relativity and Quantum Mechanics Contents The Barn and the Pole Updated 4-AUG-1992 by SIC Original by Robert Firth Paradoxes Contents These are the props. You own a barn, 40m long, with automatic doors at either end, that can be opened and closed simultaneously by a switch. You also have a pole, 80m long, which of course won't fit in the barn. Now someone takes the pole and tries to run (at nearly the speed of light) through the barn with the pole horizontal. Special Relativity (SR) says that a moving object is contracted in the direction of motion: this is called the Lorentz Contraction. So, if the pole is set in motion lengthwise, then it will contract in the reference frame of a stationary observer. You are that observer, sitting on the barn roof. You see the pole coming towards you, and it has contracted to a bit less than 40m. So, as the pole passes through the barn, there is an instant when it is completely within the barn. At that instant, you close both doors. Of course, you open them again pretty quickly, but at least momentarily you had the contracted pole shut up in your barn. The runner emerges from the far door unscathed. But consider the problem from the point of view of the runner. She will regard the pole as stationary, and the barn as approaching at high speed. In this reference frame, the pole is still 80m long, and the barn is less than 20 meters long. Surely the runner is in trouble if the doors close while she is inside. The pole is sure to get caught.

63. Seven Dimensional (and Up) Einsteinian Hyperspherical Universe Updated material from the archived Cosmology Review site written in cooperation with UNC. A conceptualization in plain English of an eternal, dual, periodic universe model according to special and General relativity. http://www.fm/7-sphere/

Seven Dimensional (and up) Einsteinian Hyperspherical Universe In Plain English (Auto translate via AltaVista by Samuel A. Cox, BS; MSEd. Where are those one or two orders of magnitude of mass necessary to give us the universe we observe? Why is the universe accelerating outward? Why is the early universe observed to be dominated by Black Holes? How is order created, conserved and preserved in the cosmos? Why can matter only exist on a microscopic singular foundation? These and many, many other observations and questions are answered by this quasi-static "Geometric Universe" model, in which the dimensional parameters of cosmology are logically adjusted to better fit the mathematical dualism of General Relativity. This site consists of descriptive material and informal, non technical discussion of the profound implications of Singularity, Duality and Periodicity in a General Relativity Cosmology Model based on ... hyperspherical space with seven large dimensions; two/ sphere, Schwarzschild geometry and a single process but periodic time dimension. The model features a discrete, massive quantum Planck Realm, dual 3-space "hemispheres" with submicroscopic, and macroscopic, (astronomical) singular/photonic antipodes, inverse mapping with cosmological time separation, a photon based frame of reference system- and "time reversal" without an inverse process!

Introduction In 1095, Einstein released his Special Theory of Relativity. In this theory, our ideas about what space and time were had to be changed. Say you're on a stationary space station in deep space, nothing around you. A spaceship coasts toward you with no rockets on at a velocity of 9/10 the speed of light. In order to confirm the identity of the ship, you carefully measure its lengh (by say bouncing lasers off the front and back and measuring their return times) and you find that the ship is shorter than it was a week ago when it was docked at your station. You look at the top of the ship, which happens to have a giant clock on it, and you notice that the clock is running slower than your clocks. Then you get a message from the ship's captain saying, "Your station's a little flat today, commander. Maybe it's because you're all takin' it easy and movin' real slow today." You laugh at the captain's joke, but aren't surprised that each of you measures the same thing about the other, because ever since the 1900s, people had heard of these phenomena and some, like you, even knew the cause and could accurately calculate the effect. What your encounter reminds you most of is that these things happen not because something changes about their rulers or clocks, but because space and time themselves are different than people used to think. Brief History Michelson Morley Experiment that used light (an electromagnetic wave) to measure the difference between propogation in the direction of the moving Earth and perpendicular to the direction. What Michelson and Morley found was that their experiment wasn't moving through the aether at all. People tried to explain this result by saying the earth was dragging along the aether, and just like like a car drags along the air inside of it so that sound from a radio acts the same within the car as it does in within a house, the experiment is in a local bubble of aether being dragged along.

UNIT 56 THE SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY Written for students in the USC Self-Paced Astronomy Courses Learning Objectives and References are in the Study Guide. Sample Questions are on the web at http://spastro.physics.sc.edu/ ESSAY The Special Theory of Relativity by J. L. Safko A. Principle of Relativity Newton's theory of gravity, first studied in Unit 3, is intimately related to his concept of space and time. He considered space and time to be absolute concepts which existed independently of the material universe. Space was a stage in which the planets and stars existed. As time passed, the objects in the material universe evolved against the fixed background of space. Newton also formalized the concept of the inertial frame (or inertial coordinate system). A coordinate system (or coordinate frame) is a grid of rods and clocks at rest with respect to each other that spans a region of space. A simplified drawing of a coordinate system is shown in Fig. 56-1. Using this coordinate system we can describe events. Events are things that can be located at a particular place in space and that occur at a given time. The flashbulb firing on your camera would be an example of an event. The measurement of an event is determining the position and time of an event. We also term this measuring the coordinates of an event. An inertial frame (or an inertial coordinate frame) is a coordinate system in which Newton's first law holds. Newton's first law, as given in Unit 3, is that in the absence of outside forces any body moves with constant velocity. Any coordinate system moving with constant velocity with respect to an inertial system is also an inertial system. These inertial frames were assumed by Newton to be of infinite extent. They covered the entire universe. According to Newton, once you know any inertial frame, you know them all, since each differs from another by a constant velocity.

Relativity The theory of special relativity (or special relativity for short) was established in 1905 by the famous physicist Albert Einstein at the age of 26. Special relativity is of importance in the realm of high relative velocities. It has been thoroughly verified on numerous occasions and has always stood up to the critical tests. Special relativity is now a tool at work, almost daily, in the scientists' calculations and laboratories.

79. Frequently Asked Questions About Special Relativity Frequently Asked Questions About special relativity. These accelerators only work properly because they are constructed obeying the laws of special relativity. http://www.phys.vt.edu/~jhs/faq/sr.html

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Relativity Compiled by Dr. John Simonetti of the Department of Physics at Virginia Tech Back to Frequently Asked Astronomy and Physics Questions Can you give me information on why travelling at light speed is so impossible? DS, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Is there a chance that we may be able to go the speed of light sometime in the future? DS, 8th grade, Blacksburg Middle School, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. 1996 Einstein said that if something could travel at light speed its mass would duplicate. How could it be? JLR, UAM, Mexico City, Mexico. 1997 Please explain how the Twin Paradox works. Can you give me information on why travelling at light speed is so impossible? Now, every space ship, or other plane, etc., has traveled at a speed very small compared to light, so you might be wondering how we know the Special Relativity Theory is correct (why should we believe it without evidence?). Although, we have never made any large object (like a space ship) travel at a considerable fraction of light speed, experimental particle physicists are constantly making electrons and the like travel at speeds like 99% of the speed of light in particle accelerators. These accelerators only work properly because they are constructed obeying the laws of Special Relativity. To make the electrons accelerate, when they are already at 90% of the speed of light, does indeed take quite a bit more energy than would a comparable speed change when they are only moving at 10% of the speed of light. Special Relativity theory appears correct, in detail, even under the extreme speed conditions of a particle accelerator.

80. Acceleration And Relativity A fairly nonmathematical treatment of special relativity and its application to acceleration and rotation. http://www.angelfire.com/ab3/mjramp/phys/rel1.html

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" RELATIVITY AND ACCELERATION. First, an explanation. Why include a more or less standard treatment of a theory developed over 90 years ago? There are two reasons. Firstly, there still seems to be confusion in published articles and letters on the subject, particularly concerning the 'twins paradox' and other problems involving acceleration. It is still widely believed that acceleration can only be treated by the General Theory, and it may be a surprise to some readers that Special Relativity is perfectly adequate for this purpose, and can even be used via the principle of equivalence to predict the properties of a given gravitational field. The General Theory alone, however, gives the relationship between gravity and matter in the equation G = 8 pi T. A simple treatment of acceleration may already be available somewhere, but I have yet to find it. For example, in the book 'Gravitation' by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler there is something similar to the extended reference frame for an accelerating observer developed here, but it goes under the name of 'a Fermi-Walker transported tetrad' and occurs in chapter 6 of a 1279 page book written at a fairly advanced level and likely to be understood only by specialists in this area. The second reason is to try to present an unusual treatment of the subject, not necessarily sticking to the original formulation or the more common examples. Nowhere in the present series are there observers on trains watching flashes of light! Light is avoided almost completely to highlight the fact that the theory concerns the properties of space and time, and the properties of light are not of central importance.
