  2. Velocity-addition formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity-addition_formula

    The special theory of relativity, formulated in 1905 by Albert Einstein, implies that addition of velocities does not behave in accordance with simple vector addition.. In relativistic physics, a velocity-addition formula is an equation that specifies how to combine the velocities of objects in a way that is consistent with the requirement that no object's speed can exceed the speed of light.

  3. Light-dragging effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dragging_effects

    Einstein showed how the velocity of light in a moving medium is calculated, in the velocity-addition formula of special relativity. Einstein's theory of general relativity provides the solution to the other light-dragging effects, whereby the velocity of light is modified by the motion or the rotation of nearby masses.

  4. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

    In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time.In Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates: [p 1] [1] [2]

    In order to find out the transformation of three-acceleration, one has to differentiate the spatial coordinates and ′ of the Lorentz transformation with respect to and ′, from which the transformation of three-velocity (also called velocity-addition formula) between and ′ follows, and eventually by another differentiation with respect to and ′ the transformation of three-acceleration ...

    Einstein is a 2008 Italian television miniseries written and directed by Liliana Cavani. The film is based on real life events of scientist Albert Einstein and it stars Vincenzo Amato in the title role.

  7. Rapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidity

    The rectangular hyperbola xy = 1 can be used to gauge velocities (in the first quadrant). Zero velocity corresponds to (1, 1) . Any point on the hyperbola has light-cone coordinates ( e w , e − w ) {\displaystyle (e^{w},\ e^{-w})} where w is the rapidity, and is equal to the area of the hyperbolic sector from (1, 1) to these coordinates.

  9. Einstein's thought experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

    In 1907, Einstein noted that from the composition law for velocities, one could deduce that there cannot exist an effect that allows faster-than-light signaling. [ p 9 ] [ p 10 ] Einstein imagined a strip of material that allows propagation of signals at the faster-than-light speed of W {\displaystyle W} (as viewed from the material strip).
