Publisher Summary This chapter discusses special relativity. In the early twentieth century, Albert Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity, a revolutionary thesis that changed the conception of space and time. For many years before 1900, it had been understood that Newton's laws of mechanics were applicable to an inertial reference frame ...

Nature, 1962
Two years ago I pointed out1 what appears to be an inconsistency in the kinematical part of Einstein's special theory of relativity. I repeated this in a slightly different form in a volume published in December last2. No comment has been made on the former publication, either spontaneously or in response to individual requests, and in none of the many

Special relativity: an introduction
2020The main concepts of mechanics and electromagnetism in the framework of special relativity are reviewed. Relativistic kinematics is analyzed, by starting from the very beginning of the theory. The relativistic form of Newton’s laws is successively deduced.

Special relativity and interferometers
Physical Review A, 1988A new generation of gravitational wave detectors is expected to be based on interferometers. Yurke et al. (1986) introduced a class of interferometers characterized by SU(1,1) which can in principle achieve a phase sensitivity approaching 1/N, where N is thte total number of photons entering the interferometer.

Rigidity in special relativity
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2004Summary: We discuss the finite version of rigid motions in special relativity. Focusing on the extension of the size of a rigid motion, we investigate the reflexive and transitive properties of rigid motions. We show that rigid rotation of a three-dimensional object is impossible while its rigid translation is possible.

Introduction to Special Relativity
2007Maxwell equations in vacuum space describe the propagation of electromagnetic signals with speed \( c \equiv 1/\sqrt {\mu _0 \varepsilon _0 } \). Since, according to the Galilean relativity principle, velocities must be added like vectors when going from one inertial reference frame to another, the vector corresponding to the velocity of a luminous ...
