Le raisonnement selon lequel la simultanéité est relative du point de vue de l'observateur est fondamental dans la Relativité restreinte. Pourtant, l'analyse de ce raisonnement mène aux critiques ...

Do claims about the future presently have truth values? Do objects have temporal parts? Is time travel possible? What does special relativity have to say about the previous questions? We will do some ...

The conventionality of simultaneity at distant points is defended partly by reference to Einstein's 1905 paper founding special relativity. His famous light-signaling definition takes the transit time ...

Every generation grows up with starships that jump across galaxies in a heartbeat, but the real universe is far less ...

THIS pamphlet gives a clear account of the fundamental bases of Einstein's special theory of relativity from the point of view of the logician. The author reaches the conclusion, with which ...

The Sagnac effect, first observed over a century ago, remains central to our understanding of relativistic kinematics and the operational definitions of simultaneity. Fundamentally, this effect arises ...

In the beginning of the year 1905, Albert Einstein was an unknown 25-year-old clerk in the Swiss patent office. By the end of the year, he had published four papers of extraordinary importance. His ...

IN June of 1905 the theory of special relativity was explained in two papers, one written by Henri Poincare, and the other by Albert Einstein. Poincare sent his paper "On the Dynamics of the Electron" ...
