Albert Einstein developed his theories of time and space dilation to show the world exactly why the speed of light remained constant. In so doing, he changed everything.

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

Einstein's theory of special relativity resulted in perhaps the most famous equation every created, and changed the world of science forever.

The mathematical work of H.A. Lorentz would prove invaluable to Albert Einstein as he attempted to work out his theory of Special Relativity.

One of the fundamental results of Einstein's theory of Special Relativity was the discovery of the inherent interconnectedness of the dimensions of space and time.

Embedded within the special theory of relativity are four fundamental reasons that Einstein provided to explain why nothing can ever travel at or beyond light speed.

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.

To fully understand the mysteries of Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, one must first understand the theory on which it was based: Galileo's theory.

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.

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

To understand Special Relativity one must begin by understanding how light has been viewed throughout history.
