So if you think any of this is official you are as deluded as they are. Click on the picture or here for a bigger version (about 410K) Daniel Shiu and I worked on this as a joint project after we finished our rendition of Escher's "Ascending and Descending" , making it our fourth Escher picture rendered in LEGO. Once again, no camera tricks, but the picture has to be taken from exactly the right place, and boy did we get tired of trying to find where that place was. The whole thing took five or six evenings spread over two or three weeks. Most of the last evening was taken up with setting up the lighting the way we wanted it and trying to get the camera position just right The original Escher picture ( Relativity , 1953. Lithograph) is shown on the right for comparison. Unlike many of Escher's other "impossible" pictures (like

8. Relativity Tutorial relativity Tutorial. Galilean relativity. relativity can be described using spacetime diagrams. Relative velocities are OK. Special relativity. http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/relatvty.htm

Relativity Tutorial Galilean Relativity Relativity can be described using space-time diagrams . Contrary to popular opinion, Einstein did not invent relativity. Galileo preceded him. Aristotle had proposed that moving objects (on the Earth) had a natural tendency to slow down and stop. This is shown in the space-time diagram below. Note the curved worldline above. This shows a variable velocity, or an acceleration . Galileo objected to Aristotle's hypothesis, and asked what happened to an object moving on a moving ship. Now it is still moving in its final state. Galileo proposed that it is only relative velocities that matter. Thus a space-time diagram can be transformed by painting it on the side of a deck of cards, and then skewing the deck to one side but keeping the edges along a straight line: Straight worldlines (unaccelerated particles) remain straight in this process. Thus Newton's First Law is preserved, and non-accelerated worldlines are special. This Galilean transformation does not affect the time. Thus two observers moving with respect to each other can still agree on the time, and thus the distance between two objects, which is the difference in their positions measured at equal times, can be defined. This allowed Newton to describe an inverse square law for gravity. But Galilean transformations do not preserve velocity. Thus the statement "The speed limit is 70 mph" does not make sense but don't try this in court. According to relativity, this must be re-expressed as "The magnitude of the relative velocity between your car and the pavement must be less than 70 mph". Relative velocities are OK.

General relativity Mathematical Physics index History Topics Index General relativity is a theory of gravitation and to understand the background to the theory we have to look at how theories of gravitation developed. Aristotle 's notion of the motion of bodies impeded understanding of gravitation for a long time. He believed that force could only be applied by contact, force at a distance being impossible, and a constant force was required to maintain a body in uniform motion. Copernicus 's view of the solar system was important as it allowed sensible consideration of gravitation. Kepler 's laws of planetary motion and Galileo 's understanding of the motion and falling bodies set the scene for Newton 's theory of gravity which was presented in the Principia in 1687. Newton 's law of gravitation is expressed by F G M M d where F is the force between the bodies of masses M M and d is the distance between them. G is the universal gravitational constant. After receiving their definitive analytic form from Euler Newton 's axioms of motion were reworked by Lagrange Hamilton , and Jacobi into very powerful and general methods, which employed new analytic quantities, such as potential, related to force but remote from everyday experience.

14. Special Relativity Special relativity. .. as demanded by the relativity principle the observer cannot know whether he is at rest or in absolute motion. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Special_relativity.html

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.

General Relativity Simulation Contest Description of Contest The purpose of this Contest is to prove General Relativity. The Contest consist of the following task: Write one general purpose program (any programming language will do) which simulates the movement of n objects over a certain period of time. The simulation method used (algorithms), should be based on the Rules of General Relativity. The program should be able to simulate and demonstrate the following examples: Forward movement (perihelion shift) of the planet Mercury (43 arc sec angle) around the Sun. The bending of light around the Sun (1.75 sec). The movement of a binary star system. The stars should spiral together. A clock in a space ship around the Earth. Twin paradox (SR). i.e. at least two clocks should be included. The behaviour of black holes. The results of the simulation should match actual observations. For the rules of General Relativity see the following: General Relativity with John Baez For the most elaborate list of links for General Relativity see: Relativity on the World Wide Web by Chris Hillman , maintained by John Baez For a technical discussion about the problems with numerical simulations regarding General Relativity see: Numerical Relativity If you want more about celestial mechanics simulations informal newsletter
