Translation by Megh Nad Saha in The Principle of Relativity: Original Papers by A. Einstein and H. Minkowski, University of Calcutta, 1920, pp. 1–34: :Introduced the special theory of relativity. Reconciled Maxwell's equations for electricity and magnetism with the laws of mechanics by introducing major changes to mechanics close to the speed ...
The author is identified as "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ" (James 1:1). James (Jacob, Hebrew: יַעֲקֹב, romanized: Ya'aqov, Ancient Greek: Ιάκωβος, romanized: Iakobos) was an extremely common name in antiquity, and a number of early Christian figures are named James, including: James the son of Zebedee, James the Less, James the son of Alphaeus, and James ...
James W. York Jr. (born July 3, 1939 in Raleigh, North Carolina, died December 17, 2023 in Raleigh, North Carolina) was an American mathematical physicist who contributed to the theory of general relativity.
The first edition of the book was reviewed by Nature in 1923. [8] Other early versions of the book were reviewed by George Yuri Rainich in 1946, [9] as well as Abraham H. Taub, [10] Philip Morrison, [11] and I. M. Levitt [12] in 1950. Reviews for the book's fifth edition include a short announcement in 1955 that called the book "a well-known ...
The emergence of the muons is caused by the collision of cosmic rays with the upper atmosphere, after which the muons reach Earth. The probability that muons can reach the Earth depends on their half-life, which itself is modified by the relativistic corrections of two quantities: a) the mean lifetime of muons and b) the length between the upper and lower atmosphere (at Earth's surface).
A radiator is a device that transfers heat to a medium primarily through thermal radiation.In practice, the term radiator is often applied to any number of devices in which a fluid circulates through exposed pipes (often with fins or other means of increasing surface area), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.
The theory of relativity does not have a concept of absolute time because there is a relativity of simultaneity. An event that is simultaneous with another event in one frame of reference may be in the past or future of that event in a different frame of reference, [6]: 59 which negates absolute simultaneity.
Bell's spaceship paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity. It was first described by E. Dewan and M. Beran in 1959 [1] but became more widely known after John Stewart Bell elaborated the idea further in 1976. [2] A delicate thread hangs between two spaceships initially at rest in the inertial frame S.
