Albert Einstein has summed up the postulates of his special theory of relativity through this portion of his own lecture. The postulates are as follows:
1. The laws of Physics are same in all inertial frames which mean it is impossible to do an experiment measuring movement, relative to stationary ether (Michelson experiment).
2. Rate of light in free space is a constant.
The 2nd postulate distinguishes the Theory of Albert Einstein's Thoughts And Views: Research And Philosophy Of Specific theory of relativity for the classical theory. According to classical theory, Speed of light adjustments (in Galilean transformations). In relativity, it's not only persistent but also optimum which can't be exceeded by any moving particle or wave.
MEASUREMENT OF TIME AND SPACE USING PACE OF LIGHT:
This author wishes to include one observation to the intriguing fact that measurement using light may be the sole complete phenomenon in Science experiments, according to Special Theory of Albert Einstein's Ideas And Views: Research And Philosophy Of Special Zero Point Energy as it's always constant in free space.
TIME DILATION:
Let us consider the TWINS PARADOX which states the elder brother who travels to the outer space with speed of light will be considerably smaller than his elder brother on return, because of time dilation. In The Same Way, if one goes to a far off star using a speed more than that of light, he can get to the specific star considerably before light reaches that star so that he can observe his starting from Earth, as the light reaches later.
So, eventually it is ELECTRICITY that remains to be mentioned. Let's observe how mass and energy are associated with one another.
MASS-ENERGY EQUIVALENCE: E=mC2
The greatest Truths are fundamentally simple. That is certainly how the mass-energy equivalence could be explained. This formula could be described even to a school kid easily. Here is also a postulate. That postulate is the most essential for entire Science, including mathematics. That postulate is LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY (conservation laws
MASS DISPERSED AS HEAT ENERGY:
Albert Einstein in the aforementioned publication (page 337) reproduced from his post in Science Illustrated, New York, April, 1946 issue provides the most familiar instance of the oscillating simple pendulum to explain the law of conservation of energy. Any Physics student knows that the total of its potential energy and kinetic energy is constantly a constant though independently they might vary. But friction comes into the picture and stops the pendulum as time passes.
TO SUMMARISE:
1. The special theory gives a special place to LIGHT treating it like uniform and un altered and which may be used as a standard unit for measuring space, time and Energy.
2. The space and time are only relative in Character changing according to the motion of the observer.
3. Mass and energy are interchangeable. Any decrease in mass is represented by enormous release of energy and any upsurge in energy, by corresponding upsurge in mass though quite little in quantity.
All along his life to date, he remained a philosopher in thought and acts. His first publication 'The Simple Truth" a comparative study of Religion and Science, was published in 1987. He published the yearly journal 'Philosophy of Science' (for five years, now stopped). He founded Holistic Philosophy Society for research of Physics and Philosophy. His latest book 'Glimpses of Holistic Philosophy' is widely acclaimed Find Out More.
