[1] The effects of this phenomenon on people experiencing these media are often profound, leading them to behave and to respond to these experiences in ...
The special theory of relativity enjoys a relationship with electromagnetism and mechanics; that is, the principle of relativity and the principle of stationary action in mechanics can be used to derive Maxwell's equations, [7] [8] and vice versa.
