GREAT JOB - ALL I am delighted to say that you all did well in the course. I know that a few of you were disappointed that your brains froze up on the inclass final. I wish I knew how prevent this. But none of you did badly, and remember that I know many of you well and I am happy to tell others about your strengths. If you would like to discuss spring term courses, I would be happy to talk to you. I am hoping to be in the department in the late afternoons. There will be construction going on near my office this term, so I probably won't spend time there until about 2:30pm. I will also be available in the Leverett dining hall at various time. Send an email if you can't find me. Course info for 2002 in the handouts folder.

We will raise this conjecture (the purport of which will hereafter be called the Principle of Relativity) to the status of a postulate, and also introduce another postulate . . . namely that light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body. These two postulates suffice for the attainment of a simple and consistent theory of the electrodynamics of moving bodies based on Maxwell's theory for stationary bodies."

TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction The Constancy of the Speed of Light The Michelson-Morley Experiment Einstein "Explains" the Michelson-Morley Experiment ... Conclusion INTRODUCTION In this document we discuss Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. The treatment is non-mathematical, except for a brief use of Pythagoras' theorem about right triangles. We concentrate on the implications of the theory. The document is based on a discussion of the the theory for an upper-year liberal arts course in Physics without mathematics; in the context of that course the material here takes about 4 or 5 one-hour classes. Einstein published this theory in 1905. The word special here means that we restrict ourselves to observers in uniform relative motion. This is as opposed the his General Theory of Relativity of 1916; this theory considers observers in any state of uniform motion including relative acceleration. It turns out that the general theory is also a theory of gravitation. Sometimes one hears that the Special Theory of Relativity says that all motion is relative. This is not quite true. Galileo and Newton had a similar conception. Crucial to Newton's thinking is that there is an absolute space, independent of the things in that space:

The Day the Universe Went All Funny An Introduction to Special Relativity by Kenny Felder This paper will cover what I consider to be the fundamental concepts of Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Somebody else might totally disagree that these are the "fundamental concepts," of course; for instance, you'll note that I don't touch the fabled E = mc How to Read This Paper Skimming lightly over this paper to get the main ideas will do you about as much good as skimming the Rosetta Stone. If you want to get anything out of this, you really need to set aside a few hours to really read every paragraph, think about (and question) every concept, and work every problem before you read the answer. I can't emphasize this too much: make sure you really understand every paragraph before you go on to the next. These may well be the most difficult (and wonderful) concepts that you have ever seen in your life, and they aren't going to come easily. Math I'm not going to assume any mathematical knowledge here, other than the ability to subtract 2 thousand from 5 thousand (or 1/4 from 1). I am going to assume that you don't melt into slag when you see numbers. If you got through the sentence-before-last as solid matter, you should be all right.

Special And General Relativity - New Mathematical Formulations Presentation of new mathematical formulations for both the special and General Theories of relativity.Category Science Physics relativity Alternative......Mathematical knowledge required is no greater than undergraduate level.special AND GENERAL relativity NEW MATHEMATICAL FORMULATIONS. http://www.relativitydomains.com/

SPECIAL AND GENERAL RELATIVITY - NEW MATHEMATICAL FORMULATIONS The purpose of this site is the presentation of new, simplified mathematical formulations of Albert Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity. The content is therefore of a technical nature, requiring a good working knowledge of mathematics and applied mechanics, up to graduate level. The current literature on these theories primarily works with such techniques as Riemannian Geometry and the Tensor Calculus etc., and while these are extremely powerful mathematical tools, they are also very complex. Therefore, when applied to Einstein's two most well known theories, they result in a formulation quite difficult to follow for even the most accomplished post graduate student. In the presentations here, nothing more complex than first and second order differential equations of functions of a complex variable are used to develop both theories from first principles.The first paper should be reviewed first because it is the simpler of the two, and because the paper on the General Theory assumes a familiarity with the application of the above techniques to these subjects. The links below connect with short introductory pages to each paper and to links to the sections of the papers themselves.

project d4 special relativity virtual relativity general relativity gallery publications ... contact special relativity introduction Einstein's theory of special relativity is widely regarded as a difficult and hardly comprehensible theory, even today - more than ninety years after its publication in 1905. One important reason for this is that the properties of space, time, and light in relativistic physics are totally different from those in classical, Newtonian physics. In many respects, they are contrary to human experience and everyday perception, which is based on low velocities. In the real world, mankind is limited to very small velocities compared to the speed of light. For example, the speed of light is a million times faster than the speed of an airplane and 40,000 times faster than the speed at which the Space Shuttle orbits the Earth. Even in the long term future, there is no hope of achieving velocities comparable to the speed of light. Therefore, computer simulations are the only means of visually exploring the realm of special relativity. They enable us to experience special relativistic phenomena such as Lorentz contraction, time dilation, aberration, and finite speed of light. Thus they can help to establish a more intuitive approach to special relativity. visualization techniques Today, there exist two well-known techniques for rendering of fast moving objects. The first is an extension of normal three-dimensional ray-tracing. The second is a relativistic extension of polygon-rendering.

Resources The Special Theory of Relativity and Theories of Divine Eternity William Lane Craig William Lane Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife Jan and their two teenage children Charity and John. At the age of sixteen as a junior in high school, he first heard the message of the Christian gospel and yielded his life to Christ. Dr. Craig pursued his undergraduate studies at Wheaton College (B.A. 1971) and graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A. 1974; M.A. 1975), the University of Birmingham (England) (Ph.D. 1977), and the University of Munich (Germany) (D.Theol. 1984). From 1980-86 he taught Philosophy of Religion at Trinity, during which time he and Jan started their family. In 1987 they moved to Brussels, Belgium, where Dr. Craig pursued research at the University of Louvain until 1994. Contemporary analyses of divine eternity often make explicit appeal to to the Special Theory of Relativity in support of the doctrine of divine timelessness. For example, two fundamental tenets of Leftow's theory, namely, (i) that temporal things exist both in time and in timeless eternity and (ii) that the timeless presence of all things to God in eternity is compatible with objective temporal becoming, depend essentially upon the legitimacy of the application of Einsteinian relativity to temporal events in relation to God. I argue that the first of these rests upon category mistakes, presupposes a reductionist view of time, and seems incompatible with a tensed theory of time. The second involves the same conceptual mistakes, but also hinges upon a particular interpretation of STR which, though widespread, is by no means the most plausible.

alternative emissionstheorie Extinction Shift Principle A pure classical physics look at Electromagnetism and Gravitation in Euclidean Space Emission and Re-emission done correctly!!! derived with No Relativity, No Ether, No non-conventional Physics using step-by-step clear classical approaches only in a recently published book! For nearly a century now, there has been absolutely NO concrete, pure classical treatment to the physics problems pertaining to significant fractions of the velocity of light. No alternative method has been presented that are explainable with simple, intuitive measures without having to resort to the usual framework of Special and General Relativity. There is now a simple, profound and completely overlooked classical alternative to the Special and General Relativity principles. It is the correct alternative that uses only the electrodynamics of Galilean transformations in Euclidean Space Geometry alone according to the principal axioms of the Extinction Shift Principle ; a pure classical physics discipline coined and developed by this author.

Special Relativity: What Time is it? Michael Fowler Physics Department, UVa. Index of Lectures and Overview of the Course Link to Previous Lecture All Inertial Frames Look the Same Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity, discussed in the last lecture, may be summarized as follows: The Laws of Physics are the same in any Inertial Frame of Reference. (Such frames move at steady velocities with respect to each other.) These Laws include not only Newton's Laws of motion, but also the more recently discovered Maxwell's Equations describing electric and magnetic fields, which predict that light always travels at a speed c, equal to about 186,300 miles per second. It follows that any measurement of the speed of any flash of light by an observer in an inertial frame will give the answer c. We have already noted one counter-intuitive consequence of this, that two different observers moving relative to each other, each measuring the speed of the same blob of light relative to himself, will both get c , even if their relative motion is in the same direction as the motion of the blob of light.
