Michelson's Interferometer

Check it Out

Within Eric Weisstein's World of Physics Website,  this page describes and experiment measuring the speed of the light and electromagnetic waves to prove the existence of ether and its motion relative to the Earth. This famous experiment is now known as the Michelson-Morley experiment.

 

Special Theory of Relativity

Click Here

This website is an document produced from a university physics course discussion on Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. It is not too difficult to understand, however as the treatment is non-mathematical, except for a brief use of Pythagoras' theorem about right triangles. Mostly the implications of the theory are discussed.

Einstein Revealed

Check it Out

A website all about Einstein, including a timeline of his life, some easy to read information about his theories and what made him stand out as a scientist. It also contains a "time traveler" game and teachers guide.

The Light Cone

Click Here

A great website which comprises of an elementary introduction to the Theory of Relativity. The intended audience is a class of nonscience undergraduates in a course offered by the Department of Physics at Syracuse University. The site includes tutorials about many relevant topics and animations.

Twin Paradox

Check it Out

Time dilation experiments including the "twin paradox", which refers to the story wherein one of a pair of twins leaves on a high speed space journey during which he travels at a large fraction of the speed of light while the other remains on the Earth. Because of time dilation, time is running more slowly in the spacecraft as seen by the earthbound twin and the traveling twin will find that the earthbound twin will be older upon return from the journey. The common question: Is this real? Would one twin really be younger?

Einstein's Original Text
