- a physical theory of relativity based on the assumption that the speed of light in a vacuum is a constant and the assumption that the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems
How To Use Einstein's special theory of relativity In A Sentence
- Newton's absolute time may feel like an accurate description of the beast that rules our daily lives, but in science the notion was shattered in 1905 by Einstein's special theory of relativity.
- The existence of tachyons is allowed by the equations of Einstein's special theory of relativity.
- Wow, managing to wedge a piece of Einstein's special theory of relativity into some particularly indulgent navel-gazing.
- Entanglement, like many quantum effects, violates some of our deepest intuitions about the world. It may also undermine Einstein's special theory of relativity.
- Einstein's special theory of relativity, which makes classical mechanics consistent with classical electromagnetism, treats time like a coordinate in a unified spacetime geometry.
