Relativity and Electromagnetism
The first and foremost issue that set Einstein's new view of relativity apart from the relativity of Galileo were the problems encountered with the new study of light.

Simultaneity and Relativity
In striving to develop his theory of Special Relativity, Einstein was forced to prove that truly simultaneous events could never possibly be measured.

The Addition of Velocities
In theory, the law of the addition of velocities seems to be perfectly logical. When viewed in light of relativity, however, everything begins to change.

The Speed of Light
Though light was finally accepted to exist in the form of waves in the 19th century, other problems awaited the immediate attention of physicists.

The Mathematics of Black Holes
How massive does an object have to be in order to be transformed into a black hole? There is a very simple way to find this out using a standard algebraic equation.

Solving Space and Time Dilation
Special Relativity states that as an object travels closer to the speed of light, both time and space will lose their meaning. The math for this is surprisingly simple.
