  1. The general theory of relativity, together with the necessary parts of the theory of invariants, is dealt with in the author’s book Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie (The Foundations of the General Theory of Relativity) — Joh. Ambr. Barth, 1916; this book assumes some familiarity with the special theory of relativity. v

  2. One such extreme is when particles travel very fast. The theory that replaces New-tonian mechanics is due to Einstein. It is called special relativity.Thee↵ectsofspecial relativity become apparent only when the speeds of particles become comparable to the speed of light in the vacuum. The speed of light is c =299792458ms 1 This value of c is ...

  4. Basic formulas of Einstein's theory of relativity. = Lo / . = mo. = the velocity of the rest frame. = the velocity of something within the rest frame. = the speed of light, 3 X 108 meters/second. Extremely Useful Approximation: (1 + x)n ≈ 1 + nx if x is very small.

  5. of Relativity. Later, Einstein was able to further develop this theory, leading to what is known as the General Theory of Relativity. Amongst other things, this latter theory is essentially a theory of gravitation. The General Theory will not be dealt with in this course. Relativity (both the Special and General) theories, quantum mechanics ...

  6. Einstein, 1905) Postulates of special relativity: The laws of physics are the same in all inertial frames of reference. The speed of light in vacuum has the same value in all inertial frames of reference. Postulates strange physical consequences. Two observers moving at di erent velocities will: Perceive di erent events to be \at the same time".

  7. 1You shouldn’t feel too bad about having spent so much time learning about a theory that’s just the limiting case of another theory, because you’re now going to do it again. Relativity is also the limiting case of another theory (quantum fleld theory). And likewise, quantum fleld theory is the limiting case of yet another theory (string ...

  8. While general relativity stand out as a splendid and logic theory, these qualifi-cations apply more in retrospect than during the development of the theory. The path followed by Einstein was, at some times, as if he was trying to find his way in a labyrinth. The creation of this theory was an extremely difficult problem and may
