This theory exists within Minkowski space, and it gives rise to a phenomenon known as Lorentz contraction.
This theory was used to explain a rotation known as Thomas precession. This theory exists within Minkowski space, and it gives rise to a phenomenon known as Lorentz contraction. First explained in the third of the Annus Mirabilis papers, this theory gave rise to the twin paradox, which occurs due to time dilation. Another consequence of this theory is the mass-energy equivalence, which is expressed as E=mc2 ("E" equals "M" "C" squared). The speed of light is the same in all reference frames according to, for 10 points, what theory explained by Albert Einstein ten years before its "general" counterpart?
