In its scant 118 pages, The Universe and Dr. In the process, I found that special relativity lead naturally into string theory. Einstein used this principle as a postulate of special relativity, assuming that the speed of light in a vacuum does not depend on who is measuring it, so long as that person is in an inertial frame of reference. 23, 2010 - Join author Robert A. Einstein, with astonishing lucidity, takes the reader from Einstein's first thought experiments leading to the mind-bending principles and implications of special relativity (and the most famous equation in history: E=mc2), through the even more mind-bending principles and implications of In physics and mathematics today, the New Big Thing is something rather unthreateningly called string theory (or, more correctly, superstring theory). Special Relativity: From Einstein to StringsJohn H. Special Relativity: From Einstein to Strings. €�I develop the theory of special relativity with simple mathematics. Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity I was talking to someone today about string theory, and quantum mechanics and special relativity. I initiated this blog with discussions on special relativity. It you want to learn about vectors, complex numbers, matrix algebra, Einstein's famous E equals MC squared, as well as some insights into string theory, it's all here. The modern physics revolution started with special relativity. A notion that resolves the issue is that the interatomic forces of the contracting string draw the spaceships closer as the string contracts, but I think this is at odds with standard interpretations of what length contraction means in special relativity (or is it?). Rightmire on a journey to The Fascinating Universe of Einstein's Special Relativity, as he makes Einstein's concepts easy to comprehend. Below, you will find three courses (the first of eventually six) presented by Leonard Susskind, a Stanford physicist who helped conceptualize string theory and has waged a long-running “Black Hole War” with Stephen Hawking (see his and YouTube (see below), these video lectures trace the beginnings of modern theoretical physics, taking you from Isaac Newton (or Newtonian Mechanics) to Albert Einstein's work on the general and special theories of relativity. Bell's Spaceship Paradox and Length Contraction in Special & General Relativity is being discussed at Physics Forums. This dedication to precision stems primarily from physicists' desire to unite quantum mechanics with general relativity, given that some theories of quantum gravity – including string theory and loop quantum gravity – imply that Lorentz invariance might be broken. This now iconic quote spoken by Hermann Minkowski in 1906 captured the spirit of Albert Einstein's recently published special theory of relativity.
