Report this comment Ronald R Hatch, former President of the Institute of Satellite Navigation (and member of the Natural Philosophy Alliance, which is highly critical of relativity), has written peer-reviewed papers explaining how both theories of relativity contradict the operations of satellite clocks. Einstein himself famously stated that "The presentation of science to the public must be made as simple as possible, but not more so," and we cannot but follow his dictum here, where our very aim is to celebrate his science. CURRENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EVENTS IN THE MEDIA SIMPLY AND ACCURATELY EXPLAINED (by Dr Simple Science) SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SIMPLY EXPLAINED. CURRENT SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EVENTS IN THE MEDIA SIMPLY AND ACCURATELY This, incidentally, is one of the few areas of modern science that puts Einstein's general relativity principle to practical use. Melvyn Bragg on this week's In Our Time on Einstein's theory of relativity. When we understand these consequences, we can . Therefore, if we have two charged particles moving, the interaction is much more than a simple Biot-Savart law. Next time, we'll make use of space-time diagrams and the two postulates to derive consequences of special relativity using only simple geometry. Entry Filed under: I share your point of view of how an explanation must be done. If we complete this movement on the way down, the outsider will see that the ball has traveled in an upside-down V shape. Though the main idea of special relativity – that the laws of physics are the same for all observers (in uniform motion), so a microwave oven works just fine on a planet that is moving very fast relative to Earth – is simple, it has strange consequences for our concept of time. He argued that the facts that led to relativity could more easily be explained by classical physics – without relativity. I was hooked from start to finish, the time simply flew by but then it is after all only relative. The account I have followed in explaining special relativity is essentially that used by Richard Feynman (who invented light clocks as a way of explaining SR) and Julian Schwinger. However, the hardest part to grasp is the fact that as you move, nothing to you is different. (The beauty of SR lies in the . BTW folks, here is a nice 10 min YouTube clip by a physics teacher explaining SR basics and time dilation w/a whiteboard. An observer, however, would notice your clock running slower. Your clock will still tick away at the same rate. I think the explanation lies somewhere in here, but I'll get back to you when I've gone through the math.
