In Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which underpins the current view of how the universe works, nothing can travel faster than light -- 300,000 kms, or 186,000 miles, per second -- because its mass would become impossibly infinite.
Serious coverage of his work in The New York Times began in November 1919, when Britain's Royal Society officially endorsed the General Theory of Relativity (a broader version of 1905's Special Theory of Relativity) after confirming predictions made by Einstein in 1911: He had said that the light of distant stars would be bent slightly toward the sun as the light passed nearby, and this effect was measured during a 1919 solar eclipse.
The discussion here requires understanding the special theory of relativity, including Lorentz contraction, time dilation, and different reference frames.
There is no evidence that Mileva should have shared with him the accolades for the special theory of relativity. Suffice it to say that the couple who could not live without each another married in 1903 and found they could not coexist in peace.
It was recognized at the time that any correct quantum theory would have to be consistent with the special theory of relativity, which quantum mechanics was not.
Working on the speed of light, he deduced his special theory of relativity, which described the effect of velocity on mass and time-flow.
But to begin at the beginning rather than with the cumulative effects (though the other way 'round may prove more enlightening), Alan Lightman (what a name for a physicist!) informs us that in 1905, while he was constructing his "new theory of time" -- meaning, though the book never mentions it, the Special Theory of Relativity contained in his paper "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" -- Einstein was plagued by a series of nightly dreams, each of which took place in a world governed by different standards of time: "His dreams have taken hold of his research.
In 1905, while Einstein was getting his doctorate in Zurich, he first enunciated " the special theory of relativity. " In 1913 he was made director of theoretical physics at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin.
B-theorists frequently argue that the A-theoretic views are incompatible with the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and that this is a problem for the A-theoretic views.
This work for intermediate and advanced students explains the special theory of relativity as the geometry of space-time, concentrating on the mathematics of empty space.
A decade earlier, his special theory of relativity had merged matter with energy while implying the unity of space and time (soon to be christened as spacetime).
