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 ...
s, from the theory, and this theory must be the same in all IRFs, then it must be that the speed of light, c, is the same in all IRFs. This latter result is sufficient to effect the change of all kinematics and dynamics.

Amongst other things, this latter theory is essentially a theory of gravitation. Relativity (both the Special and General theories), quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics are the three major theories on which modern physics is based. What is unique about these three theories, as distinct from say the theory of electromagnetism, is their generality.
Chapter 1. Principles of relativity. These notes are devoted to the consequences of Ein- stein’s (1905) principle of special relativity, which states that all the fundamental laws of physics are the same for all uniformly moving (non-accelerating) observers.
special theory of relativity. And the develop¬ ment of this theory by Einstein and others in the years around 1900 is rightly regarded as one of the greatest strides ever made in our way of describing and interpreting the physical world. Yet the basic concept of relativity is as old as the mechanics of Galileo and Newton.
