  2. Postulates of special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postulates_of_special...

    1. First postulate (principle of relativity) The laws of physics take the same form in all inertial frames of reference.. 2. Second postulate (invariance of c) . As measured in any inertial frame of reference, light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c that is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body.

  3. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    The theory is based on two postulates: (1) that the mathematical forms of the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems; and (2) that the speed of light in vacuum is constant and independent of the source or observer. Reconciling the two postulates requires a unification of space and time into the frame-dependent concept of spacetime.

  4. Unified field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_field_theory

    In physics, a unified field theory (UFT) is a type of field theory that allows all fundamental forces and elementary particles to be written in terms of a single type of field. According to modern discoveries in physics, forces are not transmitted directly between interacting objects but instead are described and interpreted by intermediary ...

    Ying, S. (2000). "Space--Time Symmetry, CPT and Mirror Fermions". arXiv: hep-th/0010074. – 8-component theory for fermions in which T-parity can be a complex number with unit radius. The CPT invariance is not a theorem but a better to have property in these class of theories. This Particle Breaks Time Symmetry – YouTube video by Veritasium

  6. Absolute space and time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_space_and_time

    The laws of physics transform from one inertial frame to another according to Galilean relativity, leading to the following objections to absolute space, as outlined by Milutin Blagojević: [10] The existence of absolute space contradicts the internal logic of classical mechanics since, according to Galilean principle of relativity, none of the ...

  7. Principle of relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_relativity

    In physics, the principle of relativity is the requirement that the equations describing the laws of physics have the same form in all admissible frames of reference.. For example, in the framework of special relativity, the Maxwell equations have the same form in all inertial frames of reference.

  8. Motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion

    Everything in the universe can be considered to be in motion. [2]: 20–21 Motion applies to various physical systems: objects, bodies, matter particles, matter fields, radiation, radiation fields, radiation particles, curvature, and space-time. One can also speak of the motion of images, shapes, and boundaries.

  9. Introduction to general relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_general...

    In special relativity, just as space and time are different aspects of a more comprehensive entity called spacetime, energy and momentum are merely different aspects of a unified, four-dimensional quantity that physicists call four-momentum. In consequence, if energy is a source of gravity, momentum must be a source as well.
