Relativity research task 1. James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish theoretical physicist who proposed a mathematical link between magnetism and light. He developed a series of mathematical equations that were eventually reduced to four equations now known as Maxwell’s equations. Explain the significance of Maxwell’s equation to scientists’ understanding of the transmission of light and the search for the aether in the Newtonian era of physics. James Clerk Maxwell developed four of the most influential

Physics Behind The Theory of special relativity And Related Concepts RESEARCH PAPER Abstract: Prior to albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity there was always an idea about relativity. Through Galilean transformations‚ which worked perfectly with the newton’s laws of motion‚ people had formed a vague idea that all motion in this world

The biggest equation to come out of Einstein’s theory of special relativity is E = mc^2‚ which tells us how E‚ the energy‚ M‚ the mass‚ and C‚ the speed of light‚ are related to each other. This mass we are using is not the same as weight. An object’s mass is how much stuff is inside of it‚ while its weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it. This is why when you measure your weight in outer space‚ it is close to zero. Einstein’s theory states that‚ the speed of light becomes a sort of ultimate

Einstein published four papers‚ two of which were on The Photoelectric Effect and another on The Theory of Special Relativity (The latter being highly inspired by Maxwell’s work on electrodynamics). Special Relativity is basically the theory of

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity Albert Einstein was born on March 14‚ 1879 in Ulm‚ Germany. As Albert grew up he loved taking lessons on the piano and the violin. Then when he was about ten or eleven he grew the curiosity about mysteries of science. As he grew up into an adult he worked as a patent clerk in Bern‚ Switzerland. This is when Mr. Einstein published four of his research papers‚ one of them being the Special Theory of Relativity or as most people know it as E=MC². By 1915‚ Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein – General and Special Theory of Relativity First things to consider before this part of the presentation: Space-time continuum = Space + Time In longer terms: Space-time is a flexible fabric. Space and time are deeply connected. Space-time is flexible; it is malleable. Space-time is curved when there is gravity‚ matter‚ energy‚ and momentum. Special: The faster you reach through space‚ the slower you move through time. (?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHjpBjgIMVk General:
