The Sagnac effect, first observed over a century ago, remains central to our understanding of relativistic kinematics and the operational definitions of simultaneity. Fundamentally, this effect arises ...

Einstein’s relativity theory and quantum theory are two pillars of modern physics that have each been shown to work well in their respective regimes. All currently observed physical effects fall well ...

Journal for General Philosophy of Science / Zeitschrift für allgemeine Wissenschaftstheorie, Vol. 50, No. 1 (March 2019), pp. 13-27 (15 pages) In a way similar to classical mechanics where we have the ...

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity (STR) is broadly misunderstood by the public. In most popular science books, relativity theory is hailed for introducing relativity to physics. Whereas ...

A theory developed by Albert Einstein stating that the laws of motion are the same for all inertial (non-accelerating) frames of reference and that the speed of light (in a vacuum) is the same for all ...

We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion? So we've all heard of relativity, right? But... what is relativity? And how does it relate to light? And motion?

At present, mainstream physicists seem to have fully accepted Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and to take it as the foundation of modern physics because the theory appears perfectly ...

Krzysztof Bolejko receives funding from the Australian Research Council and the University of Sydney. One hundred years ago in November 1915, Albert Einstein presented to the Prussian Academy of ...

David Lyth receives funding from the STFC. Gravity ties our bodies to planet Earth but it does not define the limits of the soaring human mind. In November 1915 – exactly one century ago – this was ...
