Einstein spent the next 10 years trying to include acceleration into the theory and published his theory of general relativity in 1915. In it, he determined that massive objects cause a distortion ...

The idea was first hypothesized about 70 years ago. In a bizarre repercussion of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, objects traveling close to the speed of light appear flipped over ...

Terrell-Penrose Effect According to Einstein’s special theory of relativity, objects moving close to the speed of light experience unusual effects, including changes in length and time compared to ...

Relativistic Motion: Special Relativity Visualized Vienna University of Technology When an object moves extremely fast – close to the speed of light – certain basic assumptions that we take for ...

News Release 5-May-2025 A Snapshot of Relativistic Motion: Special relativity made visible A technical trick has been used to simulate a speed of light of only 2 m/s in the laboratory.

In 1905 Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity, establishing the famous dictum that nothing—no object or signal—can travel faster than the speed of light. And therein lies the rub.

A counterintuitive result from Einstein’s special theory of relativity has finally been verified more than 65 years after it was predicted. The prediction states that objects moving near the speed of ...

His third paper introduced his ‘Special Theory of Relativity’ which revolutionised the classical concept of space and time. Einstein illustrated his concepts through ‘thought experiments’: ...

The hypothetical faster-than-light particle known as the tachyon may marry with the special theory of relativity, according to a team of physicists, making its existence more plausible.

These superluminal particles, are the "enfant terrible" of modern physics. Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into the special theory of relativity.
