More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector wanted to know if one of the rules upon ...

First formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, the theory of general relativity remains our best ... of Einstein's equivalence principle (or Lorentz symmetry), which could point to radically ...

A central postulate of special relativity is that the speed of light is the same ... This is the long-established phenomenon of Lorentz contraction. In 1959, however, two physicists, James Terrell and ...

The aptly named [LightingOnDemand] has created a Lorentz cannon that can fire a lightning bolt. Honestly, as you can see in the video below, it looks like something from a bad 1950s science ...

Special relativity and Lorentz transformations; Scalar and electromagnetic fields; Curved spacetime and the metric tensor; The equivalence principle; Geodesics, covariant derivatives, and Killing ...

Along with quantum mechanics, Einstein's special theory of relativity serves as the basis of the Standard Model of particle physics. At its heart is a concept called Lorentz symmetry: experimental ...
