Special Relativity

Více o knize

Focusing on the constancy of the speed of light, this book offers a qualitative exploration of relativity theory. It introduces Einstein's concept of simultaneity and examines the relativity of time and length. Key discussions include the time dilation formula illustrated through a standard light clock, the derivation of Minkowski four-dimensional space-time distance, and the definition of two-dimensional space-time velocity components. This heuristic approach aims to clarify complex concepts in relativity for readers.
