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 ...

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.

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 ...

special relativity are ideally suited. History is a part of all science|I will mention some of the relevant events in the development of special relativity|but there is no attempt to present the material in a historical way. A common confusion for students of special relativity is between that which is real and that which is appar-ent.
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.
