Machine learning helped show how harnessing the weird effects of Einstein’s special relativity could enable a new kind of ...

When an object moves extremely fast—close to the speed of light—certain basic assumptions that we take for granted no longer ...

IN an attempt to treat gravitational and electromagnetic phenomena simultaneously within the framework of the special theory of relativity, it has been suggested 1 that the Maxwell-Lorentz ...

Einstein received the Nobel Prize for one of the other ideas, but the special theory of relativity has since become the most well-known, perhaps of his career or even the entire field of physics!

Ten years before general relativity, Einstein came up with special relativity, which explained the relationship between space and time – and how they are related to each other. 'Special' means ...

More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector wanted to know if one of the rules upon which special relativity is built, called "Lorentz symmetry," always ...

It is an extension of Einstein’s special theory of relativity – but such a massive one that it took him 10 years, from 1905 to 1915, to get from one to the other. Special relativity tells us ...

This is the central consequence of Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity. The object then has a different length than when it is at rest, and time passes differently for the object than ...
