Make sure you scroll down to see Einstein's theory of special relativity illustrated in a series of comics. And if you want to hear more from Nityesh, tune in to this week's episode of AI & I ...

Einstein put forth special relativity, which explains motion at near-light speeds. Although there are many consequences of Special Relativity, this complex theory consists of only two postulates ...

Discover how Einstein’s theory of special relativity reshaped physics by linking space, time, mass, and energy in a universe governed by the speed of light.

Special relativity was discovered first, by Einstein, in 1905. Two years later, in 1907, Michelson was awarded the Nobel Prize for his interferometer experiments proving the constancy of the speed ...

But special relativity tells us that when it comes to light, speed is always constant. Which would mean that the other two variables would have to change - time and distance. And they do.

If special relativity were correct, they'd remain unchanged, which cannot be correct. Instead, to conserve energy, we have to accept that light must change its wavelength ...

Special relativity is also based on a second assumption that gives the speed of light — 186,000 miles per second (300 million meters per second) — in a vacuum a special status.

Special relativity declares a similar law for all motion: The combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.

Special relativity. Einstein's theory is divided into special and general relativity. Special relativity came first and is based on the speed of light being constant for everyone. That may seem ...

Science says time travel is possible. Here, we explore some of the theories behind time travel and the science that supports time-bending.
